We study vector valued solutions to non-linear elliptic partial differential equations with $p$-growth. Existence of a solution is shown in case the right hand side is the divergence of a function which is only $q$ integrable, where $q$ is…
The method of iterated conformal maps for the study of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA) is generalized to the study of Laplacian Growth Patterns and related processes. We emphasize the fundamental difference between these processes: DLA…

We study the fractal and multifractal properties (i.e. the generalized dimensions of the harmonic measure) of a 2-parameter family of growth patterns that result from a growth model that interpolates between Diffusion Limited Aggregation…
We investigate existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of nonlinear nonlocal problems involving the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator and singular nonlinearities.
We present explicit formulas for solutions to nonhomogeneous boundary value problems involving any positive power of the Laplacian in the half-space. For non-integer powers the operator becomes nonlocal and this requires a suitable…
We deal with a Dirichlet problem driven by the degenerate fractional p-Laplacian and involving a nonlinear reaction which satisfies, among other hypotheses, a (p-1)-linear growth at infinity with non-resonance above the first eigenvalue.…
We classify global Lipschitz solutions to two-phase free boundary problems governed by concave fully nonlinear equations, as either two-plane solutions or solutions to a one-phase problem.
We study the Lane-Emden system involving the logarithmic Laplacian: $$ \begin{cases} \ \mathcal{L}_{\Delta}u(x)=v^{p}(x) ,& x\in\mathbb{R}^{n},\\ \ \mathcal{L}_{\Delta}v(x)=u^{q}(x) ,& x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, \end{cases} $$ where $p,q>1$ and…
In a growth-fragmentation system, cells grow in size slowly and split apart at random. Typically, the number of cells in the system grows exponentially and the distribution of the sizes of cells settles into an equilibrium 'asymptotic…
We consider nonlinear elliptic problems involving a nonlocal operator: the square root of the Laplacian in a bounded domain with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. For positive solutions to problems with power nonlinearities, we establish…
In this paper we prove the global existence of a strong solution to the initial boundary value problem for the exponential partial differential equation $\partial_tu-\Delta e^{-\Delta u}+e^{-\Delta u}-1=0$. The equation was proposed as a…
A new model to describe fractal growth is discussed which includes effects due to long-range coupling between displacements $u$. The model is based on the biharmonic equation $\nabla^{4}u =0$ in two-dimensional isotropic defect-free media…
We study the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2}$ on the $n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq1$. First, we present a general extension problem that describes \textit{any} fractional power $L^\gamma$, $\gamma>0$, where $L$ is…
In this paper we establish the well-posedness of the Muskat problem with surface tension and equal viscosities in the subcritical Sobolev spaces $W^s_p(\mathbb{R})$, where ${p\in(1,2]}$ and ${s\in(1+1/p,2)}$. This is achieved by showing…
