We study the higher regularity of solutions and free boundaries in the Alt-Phillips problem $\Delta u=u^{\gamma-1}$, with $\gamma\in(0,1)$. Our main results imply that, once free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$, then they are $C^\infty$. In…

We consider the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ on convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions $u =0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Our main concern is the behavior of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}}$, also known as…

In this paper, we prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1},n\geq1$, bifurcating from the straight cylinder $B\times\mathbb{R}$ (where $B$ is the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$), such that the…
We study the existence and multiplicity of nonnegative solutions, as well as the behaviour of corresponding parameter-dependent branches, to the equation $-\Delta u = (1-u) u^m - \lambda u^n$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset…
We deal with existence and uniqueness of nonnegative solutions to \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta u = f(x) \text{ in }\Omega, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} + \lambda(x) u = \frac{g(x)}{u^\eta} \text{ on }…

In this paper we prove the following long-standing conjecture: stable solutions to semilinear elliptic equations are bounded (and thus smooth) in dimension $n \leq 9$. This result, that was only known to be true for $n\leq4$, is optimal:…
In this note we study the boundary regularity of solutions to nonlocal Dirichlet problems of the form $Lu=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=g$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus\Omega$, in non-smooth domains $\Omega$. When $g$ is smooth enough, then it is easy to…
We investigate symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem related to the fractional torsion equation in a regular open, bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, we show that if…
