DIFFERENTIABILITY OF p-HARMONIC FUNCTIONS ON METRIC MEASURE SPACES
نویسنده
چکیده
We study p-harmonic functions on metric measure spaces, which are formulated as minimizers to certain energy functionals. For spaces supporting a p-Poincaré inequality, we show that such functions satisfy an infinitesmal Lipschitz condition almost everywhere. This result is essentially sharp, since there are examples of metric spaces and p-harmonic functions that fail to be locally Lipschitz continuous on them. As a consequence of our main theorem, we show that p-harmonic functions also satisfy a generalized differentiability property almost everywhere, in the sense of Cheeger’s measurable differentiable structures.

Characterizing Spaces Satisfying Poincaré Inequalities and Applications to Differentiability
We show that a proper metric measure space is a RNP-differentiability space if and only if it is rectifiable in terms of doubling metric measure spaces with some Poincaré inequality. This result characterizes metric measure spaces that can be covered by spaces admitting Poincaré inequalities, as well as metric measure spaces that admit a measurable differentiable structure which permits differe...
متن کاملOn the Differentiability of Lipschitz Maps from Metric Measure Spaces to Banach Spaces
We consider metric measure spaces satisfing a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality in the upper gradient sense. We show that the results of [Che99] on differentiability of real valued Lipschitz functions and the resulting bi-Lipschitz nonembedding theorems for finite dimensional vector space targets extend to Banach space targets having what we term a good finite dimensional approximati...
متن کاملDifferentiability of Lipschitz Maps from Metric Measure Spaces to Banach Spaces with the Radon Nikodym Property
In this paper we prove the differentiability of Lipschitz maps X → V , where X is a complete metric measure space satisfying a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality, and V denotes a Banach space with the Radon Nikodym Property (RNP). The proof depends on a new characterization of the differentiable structure on such metric measure spaces, in terms of directional derivatives in the direct...
متن کاملA regularity classification of boundary points for p-harmonic functions and quasiminimizers
In this paper it is shown that irregular boundary points for p-harmonic functions as well as for quasiminimizers can be divided into semiregular and strongly irregular points with vastly different boundary behaviour. This division is emphasized by a large number of characterizations of semiregular points. The results hold in complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a P...
متن کاملFixed Point Theorems on Complete Quasi Metric Spaces Via C-class and A-Class Functions
In this paper, we present some fixed point theorems for single valued mappings on $K$-complete, $M$-complete and Symth complete quasi metric spaces. Here, for contractive condition, we consider some altering distance functions together with functions belonging to $C$-class and $A$-class. At the same time, we will consider two different type $M$ functions in contractive conditions because the qu...
