In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…
We develop arguments on convexity and minimization of energy functionals on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to investigate existence of solution to the equation $\displaystyle -\mbox{div} (\phi(|\nabla u|) \nabla u) = f(x,u) + h \mbox{in} \Omega$…
It is well known that non-negative solutions to the Dirichlet problem $\Delta u =f$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$, where $f\in L^q(\Omega)$, $q>\frac{n}2$, satisfy $\|u\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} \leq C\|f\|_{L^q(\Omega)}$. We generalize this…

In this paper, we consider the following non-linear equations in unbounded domains $\Omega$ with exterior Dirichlet condition: \begin{equation*}\begin{cases} (-\Delta)_p^s u(x)=f(u(x)), & x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)>0, &x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)\leq0,…
Consider the Dirichlet problem with respect to an elliptic operator \[ A = - \sum_{k,l=1}^d \partial_k \, a_{kl} \, \partial_l - \sum_{k=1}^d \partial_k \, b_k + \sum_{k=1}^d c_k \, \partial_k + c_0 \] on a bounded Wiener regular open set…

We present some new problems in spectral optimization. The first one consists in determining the best domain for the Dirichlet energy (or for the first eigenvalue) of the {\it metric Laplacian}, and we consider in particular Riemannian or…
We study a rather broad class of optimal partition problems with respect to monotone and coercive functional costs that involve the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the partitions. We show a sharp regularity result for the entire set of minimizers…

We look for solutions of $(-\Delta)^s u+f(u) = 0$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$, $s\in(0,1)$, with a strong singularity at the boundary. In particular, we are interested in solutions which are $L^1(\Omega)$ and higher order with…
We show that optimal $L^2$-convergence in the finite element method on quasi-uniform meshes can be achieved if, for some $s_0 > 1/2$, the boundary value problem has the mapping property $H^{-1+s} \rightarrow H^{1+s}$ for $s \in [0,s_0]$.…
