Let $L$ be a second order, uniformly elliptic, non variational operator with coefficients which are bounded and measurable in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ ($d\ge 3$) and continuous in ${\mathbb{R}}^d\setminus \left\{0\right\}$. Then, if $\mathrm{\Omega }\subset {\mathbb{R}}^d$ is a bounded domain, we prove that $L\left(W^{2,p}\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)\right)$ is dense in $L^p\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)$ for any $p\in \left(1,d/2\right]$.

For a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain $\mathrm{\Omega }$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, $N\ge 2$, let ${\left({\lambda }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ and ${\left({\phi }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ be respectively the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the problem (with Neumann boundary conditions) $$-\text{div}\left(a\left(x\right)\nabla {\phi }_k\right)+q\left(x\right){\phi }_k={\lambda }_k\varrho \left(x\right){\phi }_k\text{ in }\mathrm{\Omega },a\frac{\partial }{\partial \mathbf{n}}{\phi }_k=0\text{ su }\partial \mathrm{\Omega }.$$ We prove that knowledge of the Dirichlet boundary spectral data ${\left({\lambda }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$, ${\left({\phi }_{k|\partial \mathrm{\Omega }}\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ determines uniquely the Neumann-to-Dirichlet (or the Steklov- Poincaré) map $\gamma$ for a related elliptic problem. Under suitable hypothesis on the coefficients $a,q,\varrho$ their identifiability is then proved. We prove also analogous results for...

In this paper we consider two-dimensional quasilinear equations of the form $\text{div}\left(a\left(\left|\nabla u\right|\right)\nabla u\right)+f\left(u\right)=0$ and study the properties of the solutions u with bounded and non-vanishing gradient. Under a weak assumption involving the growth of the argument of $\nabla u$(notice that $\text{arg}\left(\nabla u\right)$ is a well-defined real function since $\left|\nabla u\right|>0$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$) we prove that $u$ is one-dimensional, i.e., $u=u\left(\nu \cdot x\right)$ for some unit vector $\nu$. As a consequence of our result we obtain that any solution $u$ having one positive derivative is one-dimensional. This result provides...

In this paper we deal with the Hölder regularity up to the boundary of the solutions to a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for second order discontinuous elliptic systems with nonlinearity $q>1$ and with natural growth. The aim of the paper is to clarify that the solutions of the above problem are always global Hölder continuous in the case of the dimension $n=q$ without any kind of regularity assumptions on the coefficients. As a consequence of this sharp result, the singular sets are always...

Si considerano equazioni di Ginzburg-Landau complesse del tipo $u_t-\alpha \mathrm{\Delta }u+P\left({\left|u\right|}^2\right)u=0$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ dove $P$ è polinomio di grado $K$ a coefficienti complessi e $\alpha$ è un numero complesso con parte reale positiva $\mathrm{\Re }\alpha$. Nell'ipotesi che la parte reale del coefficiente del termine di grado massimo $P$ sia positiva, si dimostra l'esistenza e la regolarità di una soluzione globale nel caso $\left|\alpha \right|<C\mathrm{\Re }\alpha$, dove $C$ dipende da $K$ e $N$.
