Evans PDE, Problem 5, Chapter 2

414 Views Asked by At

I'm taking my first theoretical PDE course in a year and am bashing my head against a rock with this problem.

Prove that there exists a constant $C$, depending only on $n$, such that

$\max_{B(0,1)}|u| ≤ C \max_{∂B(0,1)}|g| + \max_{B(0,1)}| f |)$

whenever $u$ is a smooth solution of

$-\Delta u = f$ in $B(0,1)$

$u = g$ on $∂B(0,1)$

I found similar problems online but their proofs do not make any sense. Does anyone have any suggestions?
