We consider the following elliptic system with fractional laplacian $$ -(-\Delta)^su=uv^2,\ \ -(-\Delta)^sv=vu^2,\ \ u,v>0 \ \mbox{on}\ \R^n,$$ where $s\in(0,1)$ and $(-\Delta)^s$ is the $s$-Lapalcian. We first prove that all positive…
We consider the 4+1 Einstein's field equations (EFE's) in vacuum, simplified by the assumption that there is a four-dimensional sub-manifold on which an isometry group of dimension four acts simply transitive. In particular we consider the…
We establish the existence of positive solutions to a general class of overdetermined semilinear elliptic boundary problems on suitable bounded open sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, for $n\leq 4$ and under mild technical…
Using a physically motivated stress energy tensor, we prove weak and strong monotonicity formulas for solutions to the semilinear elliptic system $\Delta u=\nabla W(u)$ with $W$ nonnegative. In particular, we extend a recent two dimensional…
The monotonicity of discrete Laplacian, i.e., inverse positivity of stiffness matrix, implies discrete maximum principle, which is in general not true for high order accurate schemes on unstructured meshes. On the other hand, it is possible…
We construct and analyze solutions to a regularized homogeneous $p$-harmonic map flow equation for general $p \geq 2$. The homogeneous version of the problem is new and features a monotonicity formula extending the one found by Struwe for…
We study the factorization and monotonicity method for inverse acoustic scattering problems. Firstly, we give a new general functional analysis theorem for the monotonicity method. Comparing with the factorization method, the general…
In N=1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter $\Phi$ and polynomial tree-level superpotential $W(\Phi)$, the massless fluctuations about each quantum vacuum are generically described by $U(1)^n$ gauge theory for some n.…
For each sufficiently large integer $k$, we construct a domain in the round $2$-sphere with $k$ boundary components which is the link of a cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$ admitting a homogeneous solution to the one-phase free boundary problem. This…
We prove a monotonicity formula for minimal or almost minimal sets for the Hausdorff measure $\cal{H}^d$, subject to a sliding boundary constraint where competitors for $E$ are obtained by deforming $E$ by a one-parameter family of…
In this paper we revisit the proof of the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula. Then, in the framework of the Heisenberg group, we discuss the existence of an analogous monotonicity formula introducing a necessary condition for its…
We consider an inverse boundary value problem for determining unknown scatterers, which is governed by the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain. To address this, we develop a novel convex data-fitting formulation that is capable of…
We present a coherent and effective theoretical framework to systematically construct numerically exact nonlinear solitary waves from their respective linear limits. First, all possible linear degenerate sets are classified for a harmonic…
The enumeration of independent sets of regular graphs is of interest in statistical mechanics, as it corresponds to the solution of hard-particle models. In 2004, it was conjectured by Fendleyet al. that for some rectangular grids, with…
For the truncated multidimensional moment problem we introduce a notion of a canonical solution. Namely, canonical solutions are those solutions which are generated by commuting self-adjoint extensions inside the associated Hilbert space.…
In this paper, we present formula solutions of a family of difference equations of higher order. We discuss the periodic nature of the solutions and we investigate the stability character of the equilibrium points. We utilize Lie symmetry…
We address the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with intensity-dependent dispersion which was recently proposed in the context of nonlinear optical systems. Contrary to the previous findings, we prove that no solitary wave solutions exist if…
This is a continuation of our earlier work [14] on the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem \[ \det D^2 v = v^q \chi_{\{v>0\}}, \quad v \geq 0 \text{ convex} \] with $q \in [0,n)$, where we studied the regularity of the strictly convex part of…
We establish an almost-monotonicity formula for a parabolic frequency on Gaussian spaces for solutions of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck heat equation with lower-order terms: $$\partial_t u = L_\gamma u + b(x,t) \cdot \nabla u + c(x,t)u, $$ where…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in divergence form. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These results, in turn, allow us to begin the…
