The main purpose of my research is the study of the regularity of weak solutions to some classes of partial differential equations of elliptic and parabolic type with nonsmooth coefiicients and with low integrability source terms.
Specifically, the source terms are supposed to belong to classical Morrey spaces or weighted Morrey spaces.
