An interpolation approach to $L^{\infty}$ a priori estimates for elliptic problems with nonlinearity on the boundary

Abstract

We establish an explicit $L^\infty(\Om)$ a priori estimate for weak solutions to subcritical elliptic problems with nonlinearity on the boundary, in terms of the powers of their $H^1(\Om)$ norms. To prove our result, we combine in a novel way Moser type estimates together with elliptic regularity and Gagliardo--Nirenberg interpolation inequality. We illustrate our result with an application to subcritical problems satisfying Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
