We prove that entire bounded monotone solutions to a certain class of fully nonlinear equations in 2D are one-dimensional. Our result also gives a new (non-variational) proof of the well known De Giorgi's conjecture.

Assume that $f(s) = F'(s)$ where $F$ is a double-well potential. Under certain conditions on the Lipschitz constant of $f$ on $[-1,1]$, we prove that arbitrary bounded global solutions of the semilinear equation $\Delta u = f(u)$ on…

We consider Lipschitz solutions to the possibly highly degenerate elliptic equation $ {\rm div} G(\nabla u)=0$ in $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^2 $, for any continuous strictly monotone vector field $G \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$. We show…

We consider the elliptic equation $-\Delta u = u^q|\nabla u|^p$ in $\mathbb R^n$ for any $p\ge 2$ and $q>0$. We prove a Liouville-type theorem, which asserts that any positive bounded solution is constant. The proof technique is based on…
