We investigate the structure of trees that have greatest maximum eigenvalue among all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that in such an extremal tree the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of the…
This paper is devoted to finite horizon deterministic mean field games in which the state space is a network. The agents control their velocity, and when they occupy a vertex, they can enter into any incident edge. The running and terminal…

We consider the solution of $u_t-\Delta^G_p u=0$ in a (not necessarily bounded) domain, satisfying $u=0$ initially and $u=1$ on the boundary at all times. Here, $\Delta^G_p u$ is the game-theoretic or normalized $p$-laplacian. We derive new…
Motivated by tug-of-war games and asymptotic analysis of certain variational problems, we consider a gradient constraint problem involving the infinity Laplace operator. We prove that this problem always has a solution that is unique if a…

This paper deals with the obstacle problem for the fractional infinity Laplacian with nonhomogeneous term $f(u)$, where $f:\mathbb{R}^+ \mapsto \mathbb{R}^+$: $$\begin{cases} L[u]=f(u) &\qquad in \{u>0\}\\ u \geq 0 &\qquad in\, \Omega\\ u=g…
We show optimal existence, nonexistence and regularity results for nonnegative solutions to Dirichlet problems as $$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta_1 u = g(u)|D u|+h(u)f & \text{in}\;\Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\;\partial\Omega,…
We study the Laplacian on family preserving metric graphs. These are graphs that have a certain symmetry that, as we show, allows for a decomposition into a direct sum of one-dimensional operators whose properties are explicitly related to…
We prove the existence of a weak solution to the problem \begin{equation*} \begin{split} -\Delta_{p}u+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u & =f(u,|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), \ \ \ \\ u(x) & >0\ \ \forall x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{split} \end{equation*} where…
In this article, we study the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states to a fractional Choquard equation of the form: $(-\Delta)^su+u=2(I_2\star u^2)u$ where $s\in(0,1)$ is sufficiently close to $1$. Our method is to make a…
We study the singular part of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian, \ $\min\bigl\{(-\Delta)^su,\,u-\varphi\bigr\}=0$ in $\mathbb R^n$, for general obstacles $\varphi$. Our main result establishes the…
The unique continuation property (UCP) for an operator $A$ says that, if $Au = 0 = u$ holds on an open set $G$, then one has $u=0$ everywhere. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the UCP for the class of L\'evy operators.…

We introduce a game-theoretical framework for the doubly nonlinear parabolic equation \[ |\partial_t u|^{p-2} \partial_t u - \Delta_p u = 0. \] where $\Delta_p u = \nabla \cdot ( |\nabla u |^{p-2} \nabla u)$ with $p>2$ is the standard…
There are several common ways to encode a tree as a matrix, such as the adjacency matrix, the Laplacian matrix (that is, the infinitesimal generator of the natural random walk), and the matrix of pairwise distances between leaves. Such…
We present a simple and self-contained approach to establish the unique continuation property for some classical evolution equations of second order in a cylindrical domain. We namely discuss this property for wave, parabolic and…
We examine the equation \[\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) \qquad \Omega, \] with either Navier or Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show some uniqueness results under certain constraints on the parameter $ \lambda$. We obtain similar results for…
