Why does the integrand $\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{|x-y|^\alpha}$ often appear when studying regularity?
Certain spaces (such as Besov, Holder, or Sobolev spaces) often measure regularity by function increments or difference quotients, and their norms contain integrands similar to
$$\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{|x-y|...

Understanding spaces of negative regularity
I apologize if this question is too basic for this site, but I posted it on mathSE and did not get any responses (link can be found here) so I'm crossposting it here.
Let $C^k(\mathbb{R}^n$) be the ...

Regularity of the weak solution on the cube
Let $Q:=[0,1]^d$ and $g\in L^2(\Omega)$. Consider the PDE :
$$
\begin{cases}
-\Delta f=g & \text{in $\Omega$} \\
f\equiv 0 & \mbox{on $\partial \Omega$.}
\end{cases}
$$

Extension of Pohozaev's identity to the whole domain $\mathbb R^m$
I tried asking this question on Math SE but received no answers, even with a bounty. So I am asking it here.
TLDR, I am trying to extend Pohozaev's identity on bounded domains to the unbounded domain ...

References on regularity of nonlinear elliptic PDEs in non-smooth bounded domains
I am seeking some references that deal with nonlinear elliptic PDEs with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in bounded domains with non-smooth boundaries (Lipschitz boundaries might be okay, ...

Elliptic regularity theory in $\mathbb{R}^2$
I recently encountered two papers discussing elliptic PDEs and variational methods. The first paper claims that according to regularity theory, the solution to $-\Delta u = ug(u^2)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ ...

Modulus of Continuity, Heat Flow, and Derivative Estimates
Given $f : \mathbf{R}^d \to \mathbf{R}$, define $P_t f$ by
\begin{align}
(P_t f)(x) = \mathbf{E} \left[ f (x + \sqrt{t} G) \right],
\end{align}
where $G \sim \mathcal{N} (0, I_d)$ is a standard ...

Techniques to estimate PDE which are elliptic in some directions and degenerate in others
I am interested in a family of PDE which have defeated my (admittedly rather naive) attempts to prove any regularity or stability estimates. These are systems of PDE which are elliptic in some ...

Continuity of the constant in maximal Sobolev regularity
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ be a smooth, bounded domain. For each pair $(p, q) \in (1, \infty)^2$, maximal regularity asserts that there is some $\widetilde K(p, q) > 0$ such for all $f \in L^...

A question about regularity results in the Elliptic case which are given by Schauder theory
I've been reading Jost's lecture notes "Nonlinear Methods in Riemannian and Kählerian Geometry". In section 2.2 he gives a regular results about Elliptic and parabolic equations, but he ...

About the polynomial characterization of $C^{1,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ Hölder space in Lipschitz domain
I have trouble proving the following statement regarding a characterization of $C^{1,\alpha}$:
Let $\Omega$ be a Lipschitz domain. $u$ is pointwise $C^{1,\alpha}$ at all points with the same constant $...

Upper bound Hölder norm of the solution to the linear PDE $\partial_t u (t, x) = \Delta_x \{ |\sigma (x)|^2 u(t, x) \}$
Previously, I asked the same question for a non-linear PDE, but I have got no answer. Below, I consider the linear counterpart it.
We fix $T>0$ and let $\mathbb T := [0, T]$. Let $\sigma : \mathbb ...

Upper bound Hölder norm of the solution to the non-linear PDE $\partial_t u (t, x) = \Delta_x \{ |\sigma (u (t, x))|^2 u(t, x) \}$
We fix $T>0$ and let $\mathbb T := [0, T]$. Let $\sigma : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ belong to the Hölder space $C^{1, \alpha}_b (\mathbb R)$ for some $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. Let $u : \mathbb T \times \...

Parabolic regularity for weak solution with $L^2$ data
I want to study the regularity of weak solutions $u\in C([0,T];L^2(\Omega))\cap H^1((0,T);L^2(\Omega))\cap L^2(0,T;H^1(\Omega))$ of the heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions:

Properties of "potential vector field" in Helmholtz decomposition
It is a well known fact that given a vector field $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, this can be decomposed as
$$ F= \nabla V+ \nabla \times R$$
with $V$ a potential and $R$ another vector field. These components ...
