# Liouville type theorems and local behaviour of solutions to degenerate or singular problems – Susanna Terracini (Università di Torino)

#### Abstract

We consider an equation in divergence form with a singular-degenerate weight $-\mathrm{div}(y^a A(x,y)\ abla u)=y^a f(x,y,u)\; \quad\textrm{or}\; \textrm{div}(y^aF(x,y,u))\;,$ We first study the regularity of the nodal sets of solutions in the linear case. Next, when the r.h.s. does not depend on $u$, under suitable regularity assumptions for the matrix $A$ and $f$ (resp. $F$) we prove H\”older continuity of solutions and possibly of their derivatives up to order two or more (Schauder estimates). In addition, we show stability of the $C^{0,\alpha}$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ a priori bounds for approximating problems in the form $-\mathrm{div}((\varepsilon^2+y^2)^a A(x,y)\ abla u)=(\varepsilon^2+y^2)^a f(x,y)\; \quad\textrm{or}\; \textrm{div}((\varepsilon^2+y^2)^aF(x,y))$ as $\varepsilon\to 0$. Finally, we derive $C^{0,\alpha}$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ bounds for inhomogenous Neumann boundary problems as well. Our method is based upon blow-up and appropriate Liouville type theorems.
