A priori estimates for solutions to elliptic equations on non-smooth domains

Daniel Daners · Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Section A Mathematics · 2002

It is proved that elliptic boundary-value problems have a global smoothing property in Lebesgue spaces, provided the underlying space of weak solutions admits a Sobolev-type inequality. The results apply to all standard boundary conditions, and a wide range of non-smooth domains, even if the classical estimates fail. The dependence on the data is explicit. In particular, this provides good control over the domain dependence, which is important for applications involving varying domains.
