    Optimal elliptic Sobolev regularity near three-dimensional, multi-material Neumann vertices
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Höppner, Wolfgang; Kaiser, Hans-Christoph; Rehberg, Joachim; Ziegler, Günter M.
    We study relative stability properties of different clusters of closely packed one- and two-dimensional localized peaks of the Swift-Hohenberg equation. We demonstrate the existence of a 'spatial Maxwell' point where clusters are almost equally stable, irrespective of the number of pes involved. Above (below) the Maxwell point, clusters become more (less) stable with the increase of the number of peaks

    Direct computation of elliptic singularities across anisotropic, multi-material edges
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Kaiser, Hans-Christoph; Rehberg, Joachim
    We characterise the singularities of elliptic div-grad operators at points or edges where several materials meet on a Dirichlet or Neumann part of the boundary of a two- or three-dimensional domain. Special emphasis is put on anisotropic coefficient matrices. The singularities can be computed as roots of a characteristic transcendental equation. We establish uniform bounds for the singular values for several classes of three- and fourmaterial edges. These bounds can be used to prove optimal regularity results for elliptic div-grad operators on three-dimensional, heterogeneous, polyhedral domains with mixed boundary conditions. We demonstrate this for the benchmark Lshape problem.

    On the $L^p$-theory for second-order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex coefficients
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim; Tolksdorf, Patrick
    Given a complex, elliptic coefficient function we investigate for which values of p the corresponding second-order divergence form operator, complemented with Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed boundary conditions, generates a strongly continuous semigroup on Lp(Ω). Additional properties like analyticity of the semigroup, H∞-calculus and maximal regularity arealso discussed. Finally we prove a perturbation result for real coefficients that gives the whole range of p's for small imaginary parts of the coefficients. Our results are based on the recent notion of p-ellipticity, reverse Hölder inequalities and Gaussian estimates for the real coefficients.

    Maximal parabolic regularity for divergence operators including mixed boundary conditions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim
    We show that elliptic second order operators $A$ of divergence type fulfill maximal parabolic regularity on distribution spaces, even if the underlying domain is highly non-smooth and $A$ is complemented with mixed boundary conditions. Applications to quasilinear parabolic equations with non-smooth data are presented.

    Maximal parabolic regularity for divergence operators on distribution spaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim
    We show that elliptic second order operators A of divergence type fulfill maximal parabolic regularity on distribution spaces, even if the underlying domain is highly non-smooth, the coefficients of A are discontinuous and A is complemented with mixed boundary conditions. Applications to quasilinear parabolic equations with non-smooth data are presented

    Hardys inequality for functions vanishing on a part of the boundary
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Egert, Moritz; Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim
    We develop a geometric framework for Hardys inequality on a bounded domain when the functions do vanish only on a closed portion of the boundary.

    Coercivity for elliptic operators and positivity of solutions on Lipschitz domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim
    We show that usual second order operators in divergence form satisfy coercivity on Lipschitz domains if they are either complemented with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on a set of non-zero boundary measure or if a suitable Robin boundary condition is posed. Moreover, we prove the positivity of solutions in a general, abstract setting, provided that the right hand side is a positive functional. Finally, positive elements from $W^-1,2$ are identified as positive measures

    Hölder continuity for second order elliptic problems with nonsmooth data
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Meyer, Christian; Rehberg, Joachim
    The well known De Giorgi result on Hölder continuity for solutions of the Dirichlet problem is re-established for mixed boundary value problems, provided that the underlying domain is a Lipschitz domain and the border between the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary part satisfies a very general geometric condition. Implications of this result for optimal control theory are presented.
