Besov regularity of solutions to the p-Poisson equation
In this paper, we study the regularity of solutions to the -Poisson
equation for all . In particular, we are interested in smoothness
estimates in the adaptivity scale , , of Besov spaces. The regularity in this scale determines the
order of approximation that can be achieved by adaptive and other nonlinear
approximation methods. It turns out that, especially for solutions to
-Poisson equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded
polygonal domains, the Besov regularity is significantly higher than the
Sobolev regularity which justifies the use of adaptive algorithms. This type of
results is obtained by combining local H\"older with global Sobolev estimates.
In particular, we prove that intersections of locally weighted H\"older spaces
and Sobolev spaces can be continuously embedded into the specific scale of
Besov spaces we are interested in. The proof of this embedding result is based
on wavelet characterizations of Besov spaces.Comment: 45 pages, 2 figure
Parabolic equations on uniformly regular Riemannian manifolds and degenerate initial boundary value problems
In this work there is established an optimal existence and regularity theory
for second order linear parabolic differential equations on a large class of
noncompact Riemannian manifolds. Then it is shown that it provides a general
unifying approach to problems with strong degeneracies in the interior or at
the boundary.Comment: To appear in "Recent Developments of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics",

Fractional-order operators: Boundary problems, heat equations
The first half of this work gives a survey of the fractional Laplacian (and
related operators), its restricted Dirichlet realization on a bounded domain,
and its nonhomogeneous local boundary conditions, as treated by
pseudodifferential methods. The second half takes up the associated heat
equation with homogeneous Dirichlet condition. Here we recall recently shown
sharp results on interior regularity and on -estimates up to the boundary,
as well as recent H\"older estimates. This is supplied with new higher
regularity estimates in -spaces using a technique of Lions and Magenes,
and higher -regularity estimates (with arbitrarily high H\"older estimates
in the time-parameter) based on a general result of Amann. Moreover, it is
shown that an improvement to spatial -regularity at the boundary is
not in general possible.Comment: 29 pages, updated version, to appear in a Springer Proceedings in

Besov regularity for operator equations on patchwise smooth manifolds
We study regularity properties of solutions to operator equations on
patchwise smooth manifolds such as, e.g., boundaries of
polyhedral domains . Using suitable biorthogonal
wavelet bases , we introduce a new class of Besov-type spaces
of functions
. Special attention is paid on the
rate of convergence for best -term wavelet approximation to functions in
these scales since this determines the performance of adaptive numerical
schemes. We show embeddings of (weighted) Sobolev spaces on
into , ,
which lead us to regularity assertions for the equations under consideration.
Finally, we apply our results to a boundary integral equation of the second
kind which arises from the double layer ansatz for Dirichlet problems for
Laplace's equation in .Comment: 42 pages, 3 figures, updated after peer review. Preprint: Bericht

Spatial Besov Regularity for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations on Lipschitz Domains
We use the scale of Besov spaces B^\alpha_{\tau,\tau}(O), \alpha>0,
1/\tau=\alpha/d+1/p, p fixed, to study the spatial regularity of the solutions
of linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations on bounded
Lipschitz domains O\subset R^d. The Besov smoothness determines the order of
convergence that can be achieved by nonlinear approximation schemes. The proofs
are based on a combination of weighted Sobolev estimates and characterizations
of Besov spaces by wavelet expansions.Comment: 32 pages, 3 figure
