We investigate regularity properties of the $\overline{\partial}$-equation on domains in a complex euclidean space that depend on a parameter. Both the interior regularity and the regularity in the parameter are obtained for a continuous…

In this paper, we provide examples to show that for $1 \leq k \leq n/2$, solutions to $k$-Hessian equations $S_k(D^2u)=1$ in the exterior of a strictly convex domain need not be quasiconvex, when prescribing quadratic growth at infinity.…

We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.

We investigate partial symmetry of solutions to semi-linear and quasi-linear elliptic problems with convex nonlinearities, in domains that are either axially symmetric or radially symmetric.

We prove global second-order regularity for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations, both with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. A condition on the integrability of the second fundamental form on the boundary of the…

We consider stable solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. A classical result of Casten, Holland [20] and Matano [44] states that all stable solutions are constant in convex bounded domains.…

We show that a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ admitting partial pseudoconvex exhaustion remains partial pseudoconvex. The main ingredient of the proof is based on a new characterization of hyper-$q$-convex domains. Furthermore, we…

We obtain new concavity results, up to a suitable transformation, for a class of quasi-linear equations in a convex domain involving the $p$-Laplace operator and a general nonlinearity satisfying concavity type assumptions. This provides an…

We study some special almost complex structures on strictly pseudoconvex domains. They appear naturally as limits under a nonisotroping scaling procedure and play a role of model objects in the geometry of almost complex manifolds with…

A property of smooth convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is that if two points on the boundary $x, y \in \partial \Omega$ are close to each other, then their normal vectors $n(x), n(y)$ point roughly in the same direction and this…
