In this paper we construct nontrivial exterior domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, for all $N\geq 2$, such that the problem $$\left\{ {ll} -\Delta u +u -u^p=0,\ u >0 & \mbox{in }\; \Omega, {1mm] \ u= 0 & \mbox{on }\; \partial \Omega,…
Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded, convex domain and let $u$ be the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. The estimate $$ \| \nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}(\Omega)} \leq c |\Omega|^{1/2}$$ is…
