In this paper, we extend the nontangential maximal function estimates in Lp-norm obtained by C. Kenig, F. Lin and Z. Shen [13] to the nonhomogeneous elliptic operators with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. The result relies on a local Lipschitz boundary estimate, which has not been established in [29]. The present argument develops some new techniques to make the Campanato iteration and real methods workable for general elliptic operators. The result is new even for effective operators, as well as general elliptic equations of scalar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we obtain the following local Calderón–Zygmund estimates B ( | f | ) ∈ L l o c q ( Ω ) ⇒ B ( | ∇ u | ) ∈ L l o c q ( Ω ) for any q ≥ 1 of weak solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations div ( a ( | ∇ u | ) ∇ u ) = div ( a ( | f | ) f ) in Ω , where B ( t ) = ∫ 0 t τ a ( τ ) d τ for t ≥ 0 .

Abstract: In this paper we obtain a new global gradient estimates in weighted Lorentz spaces for weak solutions of -Laplacian type equation with small BMO coefficients in a δ-Reifenberg flat domain. The modified Vitali covering lemma, the maximal function technique and the appropriate localization method are the main analytical tools. Our results improve the known results for such equations.

In this paper we mainly prove the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions and the uniqueness of renormalized solutions to the general nonlinear elliptic equations in Musielak-Orlicz spaces. Moreover, we also obtain the equivalence of entropy solutions and renormalized solutions in the present conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the optimal C 1 , α estimates for the elliptic p (⋅) -Laplace equation: div (a (x) | ∇ u | p (x) − 2 ∇ u) = div h (x) + f (x) in Ω with f ∈ L q (⋅) (Ω) and a , h ∈ C σ (Ω ¯). Based on a certain geometric oscillation estimate, the scaling arguments and appropriate localization technique as well as the careful analysis on the variable exponents, we exhibit how the optimal Hölder exponent of ∇ u is influenced by p (⋅) , q (⋅) and σ. This work can be regarded as a natural follow up to the paper by Araújo and Zhang (in press). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we use the Hardy–Littlewoodmaximal functions to obtain the following global BMO estimates f ∈ B M O (R n) ⇒ ∇ u ∈ B M O (R n) for the weak solutions of a class of quasilinear elliptic equations div a ∇ u ∇ u = div f in R n , where B (t) = ∫ 0 t τ a (τ) d τ for t ≥ 0. Meanwhile, we use the iteration-covering procedure to prove that B f ∈ L q (R n) ⇒ B ∇ u ∈ L q (R n) for any q > 1 for the weak solutions of div a ∇ u ∇ u = div a f f in R n. Moreover, we remark that a (t) = t p − 2 (p -Laplace equation) and a (t) = t p − 2 log (1 + t) satisfy the given conditions in this work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
