I deal with problems concerning the existence and regularity and other qualitative properties of the solutions of elliptic partial differential equations of the second order and of order higher than the second or of elliptic systems.

In particular, for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations of order higher than the second (also degenerate with Muchenhoupt-type degeneracy) I look for existence results of variational solutions when the summability of the data of the equationare below the duality exponent or when there are drift terms, as well as qualitative properties of the solutions: punctual estimates, Holderian regularity, conditions of removability of the singularities.

For classes of second-order equations with lower-order terms with natural or singular growth and with the summability of the data are below the duality exponent  or belonging to Morrey spaces, as well as for elliptic systems,  I study existence results of variational solutions, boundedness results, existence of weak solutions, Lp estimates of the solutions and of the gradient of the solutions, as well as its “differentiability”.
