    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.

    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

    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.
