Let L be the linear, elliptic, self-adjoint partial differential operator given by

where Dj denotes partial differentiation with respect to xj, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, b is a positive, continuous real-valued function of x = (x1,…,xn) in n-dimensional Euclidean space En, the aij are real-valued functions possessing uniformly continuous first partial derivatives in En and the matrix {aij} is everywhere positive definite. A solution u of Lu = 0 is assumed to be of class C1.
