Pointwise Inequalities for Elliptic Boundary Value Problems (1505.02339v1)

Abstract: We introduce a new approach to obtaining pointwise estimates for solutions of elliptic boundary value problems when the operator being considered satisfies a certain type of weighted integral inequalities. The method is illustrated on several examples, including a scalar second-order elliptic equation, the 3D Lam\'{e} system, and a scalar higher-order elliptic equation. The techniques can be extended to other elliptic boundary value problems provided that the corresponding weighted integral inequalities are satisfied.
