We establish a connection between generalized accretive operators introduced by F. E. Browder and the theory of quasisymmetric mappings in Banach spaces pioneered by J. Väisälä. The interplay of the two fields allows for geometric proofs of continuity, differentiability, and surjectivity of generalized accretive operators.
We obtain improved regularity of homeomorphic solutions of the reduced Beltrami equation, as compared to the standard Beltrami equation. Such an improvement is not possible in terms of Hölder or Sobolev regularity; instead, our results concern the generalized variation of restrictions to lines. Specifically, we prove that the restriction to any line segment has finite p-variation for all p > 1 but not necessarily for p = 1.
This paper is concerned with strong solutions of uniformly elliptic equations of non-divergence type in the plane. First, we use the notion of quasiregular gradient mappings to improve Morrey’s theorem on the Hölder continuity of gradients of solutions. Then we show that the Gilbarg-Serrin equation does not produce the optimal Hölder exponent in the considered class of equations. Finally, we propose a conjecture for the best possible exponent and prove it under an additional restriction.
