We prove a Hopf's lemma in the point-wise sense. The essential technique is to prove $(-\Delta)^s_p u(x)$ is uniformly bounded in the unit ball $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, where $u(x)=(1-|x|^2)^s_{+}$. Also we study the global H\"older…

In this paper we investigate the validity of Hopf's Lemma for a (possibly sign-changing) function $u \in H^s_0(\Omega)$ satisfying \[ (-\Delta)^s u(x) \geq c(x)u(x) \quad \text{in }\Omega,\] where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is an open,…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded, convex domain and let $-\Delta \phi_1 = \mu_1 \phi_1$ be the first nontrivial Laplacian eigenfunction with Neumann boundary conditions. The Hot Spots conjecture claims that the maximum and…

We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to $\partial\mathbb{D}$. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a…

We prove that the existence of a solution to a fully nonlinear elliptic equation in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with an overdetermined boundary condition prescribing both Dirichlet and Neumann constant data forces the domain $\Omega$ to be a…

We prove that, if $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open bounded starshaped domain of class $C^2$, the constancy over $\partial \Omega$ of the function $$\varphi(y) = \int_0^{\lambda(y)} \prod_{j=1}^{n-1}[1-t \kappa_j(y)]\, dt$$ implies…
