For a sufficiently smooth bounded convex domain $\\Omega \\subset \\mathbb{R}^N$, we show that a solution $\\phi \\in W_0^{1,\\infty}(\\Omega)$ to an appropriate elliptic equation $\\mathcal{L} \\phi = F$, with $F \\in L^{\\infty}(\\Omega;\\mathbb{R})$, satisfies $|\\nabla \\phi|_{\\infty} \\leq C |F|_{\\infty}$, with a positive constant $C = \\exp(C(\\mathcal{L})\\text{diam}(\\Omega))$. We also obtain similiar estimates in the parabolic setting. The proof of these exponential bounds relies on global gradient estimates inspired by a series of papers by Ben Andrews and Julie Clutterbuck. This work is motivated by a dual version of the Landis conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-08T13:30:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "linear elliptic", "parabolic equations", "global gradient estimates", "sufficiently smooth bounded convex domain", "appropriate elliptic equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
