Abstract

Let us consider an elliptic equation of second order in variational form i.e.

div(A(x)∇u) = divf

in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rn where the function f belongs to some suitable function space. The gradient estimates problem is very important both from a theoretical and applied point of view. In the Seminar we exploit what is the heart of the technique to show gradient estimates allowing the function f to belong to very general function spaces. Our technique is very flexible and allows to show the existence, uniqueness, and well-posedness of the Dirichlet problem in several classes. As an example, we will give the result in W01,p.
