Reference request: $W^{2,2}$ estimates of elliptic PDE with measurable coefficients

162 Views Asked by At

I have some questions on solvability of the following elliptic PDE: in $\mathbb{R}^2$, for $f\in L^2$, $$a^{ij} u_{x^i x^j} +b^i u_{x^i} + c u = f.$$ Here $\{a^{ij}(x)\}_{i,j=1,2}$ is symmetric matrix and there is a $\kappa>0$ such that $$ \kappa^{-1} |\xi|^2 \geq a^{ij} \xi^i \xi^j \geq \kappa |\xi|^2$$ for all $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^2$. Here I used the Einstein summation convention. Also, assume that $a^{ij}, b^i, c$ are bounded and measurable. No further regularity assumption is needed (e.g. uniformly continuous, VMO condition since we work on $L^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^2$)

Let us denote $L = a^{ij} D_{ij} +b^i D_{i} +c$.

According to some literature(arXiv:1404.5647), if $a^{ij}$ are merely measurable, then there is a $W^{2,2}$-estimate for $Lu-\lambda u=f$ for large $\lambda>0$ in whole domain $\mathbb{R}^2$. They give references as follows:

  • Serge Bernstein. Sur la g´en´eralisation du probl`eme de Dirichlet. Math. Ann., 69(1):82–136, 1910.
  • Giorgio Talenti. Equazioni lineari ellittiche in due variabili. Matematiche (Catania), 21:339– 376, 1966.

But I fail to access these references due to language problem (French, and mathematics language problem). I cannot access the second paper in online and offline in my country.

Is their any book which give a standard proof of this question? I found some exercises from Krylov's book. But I want to find another reference.

Thanks you for in advance.

On BEST ANSWER

The better behavior of elliptic PDE with measurable coefficients in two dimensions is explained by their relation with quasiconformal maps. I know two book sources that develop this relation.

  1. Elliptic Partial Differential Equations and Quasiconformal Mappings in the Plane by Kari Astala, Tadeusz Iwaniec & Gaven Martin.
  2. Chapter 12 of Elliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order by David Gilbarg and Neil Trudinger.
