Dirichlet's Principle, Uniqueness of Harmonic Maps and Extremal QC Mappings
We prove good- inequalities for the area integral, the nontangential maximal function, and the maximal density of the area integral. This answers a question raised by R. F. Gundy. We also prove a Kesten type law of the iterated logarithm for harmonic functions. Our Theorems 1 and 2 are for Lipschitz domains. However, all our results are new even in the case of .
The paper presents a problem of duality for the obstacle and unilateral biharmonic problem (the equilibrium of a thin plate with an obstacle inside the domain or on the boundary). The dual variational inequality is derived by introducing polar functions.
Let be an open set with a compact boundary and let be a finite measure on . Consider the space of all -integrable functions on and, for each...
The -convex functions are the viscosity subsolutions to the fully nonlinear elliptic equations , where is the elementary symmetric function of order , , of the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix . For example, is the Laplacian and is the real Monge-Ampère operator det , while -convex functions and -convex functions are subharmonic and convex in the classical sense, respectively. In this paper, we establish an approximation theorem for negative -convex functions, and give several...
We establish inequalities for Green functions on general bounded piecewise Dini-smooth Jordan domains in ℝ². This enables us to prove a new version of the 3G Theorem which generalizes its previous version given in [M. Selmi, Potential Anal. 13 (2000)]. Using these results, we give a comparison theorem for the Green kernel of Δ and the Green kernel of Δ - μ, where μ is a nonnegative and exact Radon measure.
