We establish a weak local boundedness to Lane–Emden systems in two-dimensional domains involving general second-order elliptic operators in divergence form and arbitrary positive powers whose product equals 1. Our result is complete in the sense that it reduces to that of Trudinger for single equations. As a counterpart, we derive a new Harnack estimate for such systems and, as a by-product, for biharmonic equations.

In loving memory of my beloved miniature dachshund Maddie (16 March 2002 – 16 March 2020). We consider nonlocal differential equations with convolution coefficients of the form

\[{-}M\Big(\big(a*(g\circ |u|)\big)(1)\Big)u''(t)=\lambda f\big(t,u(t)\big),\quad t\in(0,1), \]

In this paper, we study the $(s, C(s))$-Harnack inequality in a domain $G\subset \mathbb {R}^n$ for $s\in (0,1)$ and $C(s)\geq 1$ and present a series of inequalities related to $(s, C(s))$-Harnack functions and the Harnack metric. We also investigate the behavior of the Harnack metric under K-quasiconformal and K-quasiregular mappings, where $K\geq 1$. Finally, we provide a type of harmonic Schwarz lemma and improve the Schwarz–Pick estimate for a real-valued harmonic function.

In this paper, we derive new differential Harnack estimates of Li–Yau type for positive smooth solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic equations in the form

\[ {\mathscr L}_\phi^{\mathsf a} [w]:= \left[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t} - \mathsf{a}(x,t) - \Delta_\phi \right] w (x,t) = \mathscr G(t, x, w(x,t)), \quad t>0, \]

We consider a class of generalized nonlocal $p$-Laplacian equations. We find some proper structural conditions to establish a version of nonlocal Harnack inequalities of weak solutions to such nonlocal problems by using the expansion of positivity and energy estimates.

This article deals with kinetic Fokker–Planck equations with essentially bounded coefficients. A weak Harnack inequality for nonnegative super-solutions is derived by considering their log-transform and adapting an argument due to S. N. Kružkov (1963). Such a result rests on a new weak Poincaré inequality sharing similarities with the one introduced by W. Wang and L. Zhang in a series of works about ultraparabolic equations (2009, 2011, 2017). This functional inequality is combined with a classical covering argument recently adapted by L. Silvestre and the second author (2020) to kinetic equations.

We consider weak solutions to

with p > 1, q ≥ max{p − 1, 1}. We exploit the Moser iteration technique to prove a Harnack comparison inequality for C1 weak solutions. As a consequence we deduce a strong comparison principle.

In 1914 Bohr proved that there is an $r \in (0,1)$ such that if a power series converges in the unit disk and its sum has modulus less than $1$ then, for $|z| < r$, the sum of absolute values of its terms is again less than $1$. Recently, analogous results have been obtained for functions of several variables. The aim of this paper is to place the theorem of Bohr in the context of solutions to second-order elliptic equations satisfying the maximum principle.

We consider a class of fractal subsets of ${{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ formed in a manner analogous to the construction of the Sierpinski carpet. We prove a uniform Harnack inequality for positive harmonic functions; study the heat equation, and obtain upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel which are, up to constants, the best possible; construct a locally isotropic diffusion $X$ and determine its basic properties; and extend some classical Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities to this setting.
