The degenerate oblique derivative problem for elliptic and parabolic equations (Q2785474)

The book is a survey on the investigations in the field of linear and nonlinear degenerate oblique derivative problems during the last 30 years and contains also some new results concerning the nonlinear case.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEChapter 1 is a survey on the results on the degenerate oblique derivative problems for second-order linear and nonlinear elliptic operators. The solvability and regularity problems are studied in Sobolev and Hölder spaces. Moreover, a particular care is given to subelliptic estimates in different functional spaces due to the important role played by these estimates in the linear and nonlinear tangential case.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEChapter 2 is devoted to the quasilinear case with nonlinearities depending on the gradient of the unknown function. Existence of classical solutions is proved for quadratic nonlinearities.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEChapter 3 deals with the parabolic case in Hölder classes. In the linear case a Schauder theory is elaborated (under suitable geometric assumptions) and the results are used to deal also with the semilinear case. Many of the results in Chapters 2 and 3 have been proved by the authors.
