We study the semilinear elliptic equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta u=u^\alpha |\log u|^\beta\quad\text{in }B_1\setminus\{0\}, \end{equation*} where $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 3$, $\frac{n}{n-2} < \alpha < \frac{n+2}{n-2}$ and…
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…
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and let $m$ be a possibly discontinuous and unbounded function that changes sign in $\Omega$. Let $f:\left[ 0,\infty\right) \rightarrow\left[ 0,\infty\right) $ be a continuous…
In this work we establish local $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for flat solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations provided the coefficients and the source function are of class $C^{0,\alpha}$. For problems with merely…
The main goal is to establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the fractional semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u=\rho(x)\,\varphi(u)$ admits nonnegative nontrivial bounded solutions in the whole space…
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,…
In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional \[ J_F(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\lambda^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $\chi_D$ is the characteristic function of a…
We are concerned with positive solutions of equation (E) $(-\Delta)^s u=f(u)$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N>2s$), where $s \in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ and $f\in C^{\alpha}_{loc}(\mathbb{R})$ for some $\alpha \in(0,1)$. We establish…
We consider an one-phase free boundary problem for a degenerate fully non-linear elliptic operators with non-zero right hand side. We use the approach present in \cite{DeSilva} to prove that flat free boundaries and Lipschitz free…
We consider the $2m$-th order elliptic boundary value problem $Lu=f(x,u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\partial\Omega$. The operator $L$ is a uniformly elliptic linear operator of…
In this manuscript we deal with regularity issues and the asymptotic behaviour (as $p \to \infty$) of solutions for elliptic free boundary problems of $p-$Laplacian type ($2 \leq p< \infty$): \begin{equation*} -\Delta_p u(x) +…
We show that a general nonlinearity $a(x,u)$ is uniquely determined, possibly up to a gauge, in a neighborhood of a fixed solution from boundary measurements of the corresponding semilinear equation. The main theorems are low regularity…
In the classical homogeneous one-phase Bernoulli-type problem, the free boundary consists of a "regular" part and a "singular" part, as Alt and Caffarelli have shown in their pioneer work (J. Reine Angew. Math., 325, 105-144, 1981) that…
We study regularity issues for systems of elliptic equations of the type \[ -\Delta u_i=f_{i,\beta}(x)-\beta \sum_{j\neq i} a_{ij} u_i |u_i|^{p-1}|u_j|^{p+1} \] set in domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, for $N \geq 1$. The paper is…
We examine the fourth order problem $\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) $ in $ \Omega$ with $ \Delta u = u =0 $ on $ \partial \Omega$, where $ \lambda > 0$ is a parameter, $ \Omega$ is a bounded domain in $ R^N$ and where $f$ is one of the following…
We study the existence of a maximal solution of $-\Gd u+g(u)=f(x)$ in a domain $\Gw\subset \BBR^N$ with compact boundary, assuming that $f\in (L^1_{loc}(\Gw))_+$ and that $g$ is nondecreasing, $g(0)\geq 0$ and $g$ satisfies the…
In this work, we study regularity properties for nonvariational singular elliptic equations ruled by the infinity Laplacian. We obtain optimal $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity along the free boundary. We also show existence of solutions,…
We prove weighted Orlicz-Sobolev regularity for fully nonlinear elliptic equations with oblique boundary condition under asymptotic conditions of the following problem: $F(D^{2}u,Du,u,x)=f(x)$ in the bounded domain $\Omega\subset…
We obtain optimal boundary and global regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations whose ellipticity degenerates at the critical points of a given solution. We show that any solution is $C^{1,\alpha}$…
We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
