We assume that M has \"finite width,\" that is, that the distance $dist(x, \\partial M)$ from any point $x \\in M$ to the boundary $\\partial M$ is bounded uniformly. Under this assumption, we prove that the Poincar\\'e inequality for vector valued functions holds on $M$. We also prove a general regularity result for uniformly strongly elliptic equations and systems on general manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry. By combining the Poincar\\'e inequality with the regularity result, we obtain---as in the classical case---that uniformly strongly elliptic equations and systems are well-posed on $M$ in Hadamard's sense between the usual Sobolev spaces associated to the metric. We also provide variants of these results that apply to suitable mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. We also indicate applications to boundary value problems on singular domains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-01T15:54:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J67", "35J47", "35R01", "58J32" ], "keywords": [ "poincare inequality", "bounded geometry", "uniformly strongly elliptic equations", "poisson problem", "mixed dirichlet-neumann boundary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
