Regularity theorems for a biological network formulation model in two space dimensions

Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA

Received December 2016 Revised May 2017 Published January 2018

We present several regularity results for a biological network formulation model originally introduced by D. Cai and D. Hu [13]. A consequence of these results is that a stationary weak solution must be a classical one in two space dimensions. Our mathematical analysis is based upon the weakly monotone function theory and Hardy space methods.

Keywords: $ A_q$-weights, biological network formulation, bounded mean oscillation (BMO), weakly monotone functions.
