Symmetry and Qualitative \& Quantitative Stability for a Class of Overdetermined Problems in C-GNP Domains with Source Supported in the Core
Abstract
We introduce a unified geometric framework for domains satisfying a geometric normal property (C-GNP) relative to a strictly convex set . Under the fundamental assumption that the source is supported within the core , we establish the stability of superlevel sets for elliptic equations and prove a rigid symmetry result for a classical Serrin-type problem via a method that avoids moving planes, relying instead on geometric monotonicity and the Hopf boundary lemma. We then extend this analysis to a coupled biharmonic overdetermined problem with source supported in the core. Using the compactness properties of the C-GNP class and the stability of thickness functions under Hausdorff convergence, we prove a qualitative stability theorem: if the overdetermined condition is approximately satisfied in norm, the domain converges in the Hausdorff sense to the unique ball solution. Furthermore, we establish a quantitative stability estimate: there exists a constant such that with , arbitrarily close to 1, and for in the general case. For convex domains, we improve the exponent to via a weighted Reilly identity. The proof relies on Reilly-type integral identities adapted to the coupled system and Hardy-Poincar\'e inequalities tailored to the geometry.
