Abstract

In this paper we investigate linear elliptic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions. Assuming only boundedness/ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain -- including a very weak compatibility condition between the Dirichlet boundary part and its complement -- we prove first Hölder continuity of the solution. Secondly, Gaussian Hölder estimates for the corresponding heat kernel are derived. The essential instruments are De Giorgi and Morrey-Campanato estimates.
