Thanks to the axiomatic approach developed in [6], this is an important tool in order to solve the Krylov-Safonov's Harnack inequality problem for this kind of operators. In particular, we are interested in linear second order horizontally-elliptic operators in non-divergence formand with measurable coefficients. In the setting of homogeneous Carnot groups, we would like to stress the relation between the Double Ball Property and a kind of solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the operator in the exterior of some homogeneous balls. We present a recent result obtained in [15], where the double ball property has been proved in a generic Carnot group of step two.","PeriodicalId":41199,"journal":{"name":"Bruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar","volume":"3 1","pages":"33-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71263012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, we discuss ne regularity properties by outlining an higher integrability result for the density of the volume part proved in [17]. The latter, in turn, implies an estimate on the Hausdor dimension of the singular set of minimizers according to the results in [2] (see also [18]).","PeriodicalId":41199,"journal":{"name":"Bruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar","volume":"3 1","pages":"14-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71262849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
