Abstract:
We investigate linear elliptic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions on domains with a rough boundary. Assuming only boundedness/ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain, including a very weak compatibility condition between the Dirichlet boundary part and its complement, we prove H\"{o}lder continuity of the solution. Moreover, Gaussian H\"{o}lder estimates for the corresponding heat kernel are derived. This is joint work with Joachim Rehberg.
