In this study, we continue our study of the Cauchy problem associated with the Brinkman equations [see (1.1) and (1.2) below] which model fluid flow in certain types of porous media. Here, we will consider the flow in the upper half-space \[ \mathbb{R}_{+}^{3}=\left\{\left(x,y,z\right) \in\mathbb{R}^{3}\left\vert z\geqslant 0\right.\right\}, \] under the assumption that the plane $z=0$ is impenetrable to the fluid. This means that we will have to introduce boundary conditions that must be attached to the Brinkman equations. We study local and global well-posedness in appropriate Sobolev spaces introduced below, using Kato's theory for quasilinear equations, parabolic regularization and a comparison principle for the solutions of the problem.

AbstractIn the following, we show the strong comparison principle for the fractional p-Laplacian, i.e. we analyze\quad\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-\Delta)^{s}_{p}v+q(x)\lvert v\rvert% ^{p-2}v&\displaystyle\geq 0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in ${D}$},\\ \displaystyle(-\Delta)^{s}_{p}w+q(x)\lvert w\rvert^{p-2}w&\displaystyle\leq 0&% &\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in ${D}$},\\ \displaystyle v&\displaystyle\geq w&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in ${\mathbb% {R}^{N}}$},\end{aligned}\right.where {s\in(0,1)}, {p>1}, {D\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}} is an open set, and {q\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{N})} is a nonnegative function. Under suitable conditions on s, p and some regularity assumptions on v, w, we show that either {v\equiv w} in {\mathbb{R}^{N}} or {v>w} in D. Moreover, we apply this result to analyze the geometry of nonnegative solutions in starshaped rings and in the half space.

Abstract In this article, we deal with the global regularity of weak solutions to a class of problems involving the fractional ( p , q ) {(p,q)} -Laplacian, denoted by ( - Δ ) p s 1 + ( - Δ ) q s 2 {(-\Delta)^{s_{1}}_{p}+(-\Delta)^{s_{2}}_{q}} for s 2 , s 1 ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) {s_{2},s_{1}\in(0,1)} and 1 < p , q < ∞ {1<p,q<\infty} . We establish completely new Hölder continuity results, up to the boundary, for the weak solutions to fractional ( p , q ) {(p,q)} -problems involving singular as well as regular nonlinearities. Moreover, as applications to boundary estimates, we establish a new Hopf-type maximum principle and a strong comparison principle in both situations.
