We show that given an initial vorticity which is bounded and $m$-fold rotationally symmetric for $m \ge 3$, there is a unique global solution to the 2D Euler equation on the whole plane. That is, in the well-known $L^1 \cap L^\infty$ theory…

We prove a one-dimensional symmetry result for a weighted Dirichlet-to-Neumann problem arising in a model for water waves in dimension 3. More precisely we prove that minimizers and bounded monotone solutions depend on only one Euclidean…

We study properties of the semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta u = 1/u$ on domains in $R^n$, with an eye toward nonnegative singular solutions as limits of positive smooth solutions. We prove the nonexistence of such solutions in low…

For the system of semilinear elliptic equations \[ \Delta V_i = V_i \sum_{j \neq i} V_j^2, \qquad V_i > 0 \qquad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^N$} \] we devise a new method to construct entire solutions. The method extends the existence results…

We study the following nonlinear elliptic problem [-\Delta u =F^{'} (u) in {\mathbb R}^n] where $F(u)$ is a periodic function. Moser (1986) showed that for any minimal and nonself-intersecting solution, there exist $ \alpha \in {\mathbb…

We show that any classical solution of the diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi (DHJ) equation $-\Delta u= |\nabla u|^p$ in a half-space with zero boundary conditions for $1<p\le 2$ is necessarily one-dimensional. This improves the previously known…

We study the semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta u + g(x,u,Du) = 0$ in $\R^n$. The nonlinearities $g$ can have arbitrary growth in $u$ and $Du$, including in particular the exponential behavior. No restriction is imposed on the behavior of…

In two dimensions every weak solution to a nonlinear elliptic system $\rm{div} a(x,u,Du)=0$ has H\"older continuous first derivatives provided that standard continuity, ellipticity and growth assumptions hold with a growth exponent $p \geq…

In 1978 E. De Giorgi formulated a conjecture concerning the one-dimensional symmetry of bounded solutions to the elliptic equation \Delta u=F'(u), which are monotone in some direction. In this paper we prove the analogous statement for the…

We consider vector-valued solutions to a linear transmission problem, and we prove that Lipschitz-regularity on one phase is transmitted to the next phase. More exactly, given a solution $u:B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m$ to the…

In this paper, under very general assumptions, we prove existence and regularity of distributional solutions to homogeneous Dirichlet problems of the form $$\begin{cases} \displaystyle - \Delta_{1} u = h(u)f & \text{in}\, \Omega,\newline…

We consider the Hardy-H\'enon system $-\Delta u =|x|^a v^p$, $-\Delta v =|x|^b u^q$ with $p,q>0$ and $a,b\in {\mathbb R}$ and we are concerned in particular with the Liouville property, i.e. the nonexistence of positive solutions in the…

We study positive solutions to the problem $-\Delta_p u + \vartheta |\nabla u|^q = \frac{1}{u^\gamma} + f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^N_+$ with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition, where $p>1$, $\gamma>0$, $0<q\le p$, $\vartheta\ge0$ and…

Let $\textbf{A}$ be a symmetric convex quadratic form on $\mathbb{R}^{Nn}$ and $\Omega\Subset \mathbb{R}^n$ a bounded convex domain. We consider the problem of existence of solutions $u: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow…

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 discuss variational problems on two-dimensional domains with energy densities of linear growth and with radially symmetric data. The smoothness of generalized minimizers is established under rather weak ellipticity assumptions. Further…

We consider positive solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ on continuous epigraphs bounded from below. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove new monotonicity results for $u$, when…
