Abstract

The present paper studies the Dirichlet problem for elliptic equations degenerate on part of the boundary of a domain and the degeneracy is of the Keldysh type. By introducing a proper metric that is related to the operator we establish the global Hölder estimates when some well-posed boundary conditions are satisfied. The main methods are the construction of some barrier functions and the interpolation of the estimates of uniformly elliptic operators.
