A priori estimates for solutions of the first initial boundary-value problem for systems of fully nonlinear partial differential equations (Q4940410)

This paper deals with the Dirichlet problem for a system of nonlinear elliptic equations in a smooth bounded domain \( G \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) of the following form \[ F_{l}(x, u, D_{x}, D_{xx}u_{l})=0,\quad u_{l}(x)=0, \quad x \in \partial G, \tag{1} \] \[ u \equiv (u_{1}, u_{2},\dots, u_{m}), \quad l=1, 2,\dots,m. \] At first the author uses the observation due to Yu. L. Daletskii according to which a system of \( m \) second-order parabolic equations in the phase space \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) can be reduced to a scalar second-order parabolic equation in the phase space \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n+m}. \) Then the initial boundary-value problem is reduced to a Cauchy problem on a total space \( {\mathcal E} \) of a vector bundle over some auxiliary manifold. Finally, the author proves theorems on a priori estimates for solutions of equations on a manifold from which she deduces the results on a priori estimates for solutions to the nonlinear system (1).
