15:00 – Zeev Sobol (Swansea):  Estimates of solutions to degenerate quasi-linear parabolic equations via parabolic analogs of Wolff potentials. 

Abstract:  The talk will introduce a parabolic analog of Wolff potential used to derive pointwise estimates of solutions to degenerate quasi-linear parabolic equations with measures in the right hand side. The result generalises the celebrated Kilpelainen-Maly result for parabolic equations.

16:30 – Sergey Mikhailov (Brunel): Generalized Co-normal Derivatives and Boundary Value Problems for Elliptic PDEs.

Abstract:  Elliptic PDE systems of the second order on a Lipschitz domain are considered in the talk. For functions from the Sobolev space Hs(Ω), 1/2 < s < 3/2 , a defnition of non- unique generalized co-normal derivative is given, which is related to possible non-unique extensions of a partial differential operator and PDE right hand side from the domain  to its boundary. For a (rather wide) subspace of Hs(Ω), the unique canonical co-normal derivative is also defined and it is proved that the canonical co-normal derivative coincides with the classical one when the both exist. A generalization of the boundary value problem variational settings, which makes them insensitive to the co-normal derivative inherent non-uniqueness is also discussed. 

The talk is related to papers [1, 2].
