    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.

    On the numerical range of sectorial forms
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Linke, Alexander; Rehberg, Joachim
    We provide a sharp and optimal generic bound for the angle of the sectorial form associated to a non-symmetric second-order elliptic differential operator with various boundary conditions. Consequently this gives an, in general, sharper H∞-angle for the H∞-calculus on Lp for all p ∈ (1, ∞) if the coefficients are real valued.

    Essential boundedness for solutions of the Neumann problem on general domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Meinlschmidt, Hannes; Rehberg, Joachim
    Let the domain under consideration be bounded. Under the suppositions of very weak Sobolev embeddings we prove that the solutions of the Neumann problem for an elliptic, second order divergence operator are essentially bounded, if the right hand sides are taken from the dual of a Sobolev space which is adapted to the above embedding.

    Hölder estimates for second-order operators with mixed boundary conditions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Rehberg, Joachim
    In this paper we investigate linear elliptic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions. Assuming only boundedness/ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain
