We establish sharp local $C^{1,α}$-regularity for weak solutions to degenerate elliptic equations of $p$-Laplacian type with data in Morrey spaces. The proof relies on the Fefferman-Phong inequality and standard tools from regularity theory for nonlinear PDEs.
We establish interior regularity results for first-order, stationary, local mean-field game (MFG) systems. Specifically, we study solutions of the coupled system consisting of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation $H(x, Du, m) = 0$ and a transport equation $-\operatorname{div}(m D_pH(x, Du, m)) = 0$ in a domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Under suitable structural assumptions on the Hamiltonian $H$, without requiring monotonicity of the system, convexity of the Hamiltonian, separability in variables, or smoothness beyond basic continuity in $(p,m)$, we introduce a notion of weak solutions that allows the application of techniques from elliptic regularity theory. Our main contribution is to prove that the value function $u$ is locally Hölder continuous in $Ω$. The proof leverages the connection between first-order MFG systems and quasilinear equations in divergence form, adapting classical techniques to handle the specific structure of MFG systems.
This paper investigates stationary mean-field games (MFGs) on the torus with Lipschitz non-homogeneous diffusion and logarithmic-like couplings. The primary objective is to understand the existence of $C^{1,α}$ solutions to address the research gap between low-regularity results for bounded and measurable diffusions and the smooth results modeled by the Laplacian. We use the Hopf--Cole transformation to convert the MFG system into a scalar elliptic equation. Then, we apply Morrey space methods to establish the existence and regularity of solutions. The introduction of Morrey space methods offers a novel approach to address regularity issues in the context of MFGs.
We prove local boundedness, Harnack's inequality and local regularity for weak solutions of quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations in divergence form with Rough coefficients. Degeneracy is encoded by a non-negative, symmetric, measurable matrix valued function Q(x) and two suitable non-negative weight functions. We setup an axiomatic approach in terms of suitable geometric conditions and local Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities. Data integrability is close to L1 and is exploited in terms of a suitable Stummel-Kato class that in some cases is necessary for local regularity.
We study regularity for solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations of the form $÷\A(x,u,\nabla u) = ÷\F $ in bounded domains in $\R^n$. The vector field $\A$ is assumed to be continuous in $u$, and its growth in $\nabla u$ is like that of the $p$-Laplace operator. We establish interior gradient estimates in weighted Morrey spaces for weak solutions $u$ to the equation under a small BMO condition in $x$ for $\A$. As a consequence, we obtain that $\nabla u$ is in the classical Morrey space $\calM^{q,λ}$ or weighted space $L^q_w$ whenever $|\F|^{\frac{1}{p-1}}$ is respectively in $\calM^{q,λ}$ or $L^q_w$, where $q$ is any number greater than $p$ and $w$ is any weight in the Muckenhoupt class $A_{\frac{q}{p}}$. In addition, our two-weight estimate allows the possibility to acquire the regularity for $\nabla u$ in a weighted Morrey space that is different from the functional space that the data $|\F|^{\frac{1}{p-1}}$ belongs to.
In this paper we show that the shear modulus $μ$ of an isotropic elastic body can be stably recovered by the knowledge of one single displacement field whose boundary data can be assigned independently of the unknown elasticity tensor.
In this note we study the global regularity in the Morrey spaces for the second derivatives for the strong solutions of non variational elliptic equations.
We prove Harnack inequality and local regularity results for weak solutions of a quasilinear degenerate equation in divergence form under natural growth conditions. The degeneracy is given by a suitable power of a strong $A_\infty$ weight. Regularity results are achieved under minimal assumptions on the coefficients and, as an application, we prove $C^{1,α}$ local estimates for solutions of a degenerate equation in non divergence form.
