In this note, we consider regularity theory for a fractional [Formula: see text]-Laplace operator which arises in the complex interpolation of the Sobolev spaces, the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian. We obtain the natural analogue to the classical [Formula: see text]-Laplacian situation, namely [Formula: see text]-regularity for the homogeneous equation.

Abstract This article gives an existence theory for weak solutions of second order non-elliptic linear Dirichlet problems of the formThe principal part ξ'P(x)ξ of the above equation is assumed to be comparable to a quadratic form Q(x,ξ)=ξ'Q(x)ξ that may vanish for non-zero ξ ∊ ℝn. This is achieved using techniques of functional analysis applied to the degenerate Sobolev spaces QH1 (Θ)=W1,2(Θ,Q) and QH10(Θ)= W1,20 (Θ,Q)as defined in previous works. E.T. Sawyer and R.L. Wheeden (2010) have given a regularity theory for a subset of the class of equations dealt with here.

This is the first of a series of three papers devoted to the regularity of solutions of elliptic problems on nonsmooth domains in ℝ3. The present paper introduces various weighted spaces and countably weighted spaces in the neighbourhood of edges and vertices of polyhedral domains, and it concentrates on exploring the structure of these spaces, such as the embeddings of weighted Sobolev spaces, the relation between weighted Sobolev spaces and weighted continuous function spaces, and the relations between the weighted Sobolev spaces and countably weighted Sobolev spaces in Cartesian coordinates and in the spherical and cylindrical coordinates. These well-defined spaces are the foundation for the comprehensive study of the regularity theory of elliptic problems with piecewise analytic data in ℝ3, which are essential for the design of effective computation and the analysis of the h – p version of the finite element method for solving elliptic problems in three-dimensional nonsmooth domains arising from mechanics and engineering.

This chapter presents a selection of some of the most important results in the theory of Sobolev spacesn. Special emphasis is placed on embedding theorems and the question as to whether an embedding map is compact or not. Some results concerning the k-set contraction nature of certain embedding maps are given, for both bounded and unbounded space domains: also the approximation numbers of embedding maps are estimated and these estimates used to classify the embeddings.
