Harnack inequality and smoothness for quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations (Q952529): Difference between revisions

The aim of this note is to study the local regularity of weak solutions for quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations of the following kind \[ -(a_{ij}u_{x_i}+d_ju)_{x_j}+\frac{b_0}{\lambda}\omega| Du|^2+b_iu_{x_i}+cu=f-(h_i)_{x_i},\tag{1} \] where \(x=(x_1,-,x_n)\in\Omega\)-open bounded set in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The authors obtain regularity results by showing that positive weak solutions of (1) satisfy Harnack inequality. As a consequence of Harnack inequality the authors obtain interior and boundary Hölder continuity of the weak solutions of (1). Moreover, the authors also show \(C^{1,\alpha}\) estimtes for a nondivergence type quasilinear degenerate equation of the following kind \[ Qu=a^{ij}(x,u,Du)u_{x_ix_j}+b(x,u,Du)=0.\tag{2} \]
