In this paper we prove the existence of continua of nonradial solutions for the Lane-Emden equation. In a first result we show that there are infinitely many global continua detaching from the curve of radial solutions with any prescribed…

The celebrated Almgren monotonicity formula for harmonic functions $u:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ says that its $L^2-$energy concentrated on a sphere of radius $r$, when measured in a suitable sense, is non-decreasing: if $u$…

We show that every entire solution to the Bernoulli (or one-phase) free boundary problem with finite Morse index in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is axially symmetric. In fact, we additionally prove that the same result would follow in any dimension $4…

This paper discusses a so-called ultra-weak three-field formulation of the biharmonic problem where the solution, its gradient, and an additional Lagrange multiplier are the three unknowns. We establish the well-posedness of the problem…

Compared to the entrywise transforms which preserve positive semidefiniteness, those leaving invariant the inertia of symmetric matrices reveal a surprising rigidity. We first obtain the classification of negativity preservers by combining…

In this paper, we study semilinear elliptic equations in domains where there is a natural class of solutions, which depend only on one variable, and whose simple geometry reflects the geometry of the domain. We prove that under quite…

We consider a Hamiltonian system of free boundary type, showing first uniform bounds and existence of solutions and of the free boundary. Then, for any smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions in a suitable…

In [KP16] (arXiv:1605.07880) the authors introduced a second-order variational problem in $L^{\infty}$. The associated equation, coined the $\infty$-Bilaplacian, is a \emph{third order} fully nonlinear PDE given by $\Delta^2_\infty u\, :=…

Consider a complete asymptotically flat 3-manifold $M$ with non-negative scalar curvature and non-empty minimal boundary $\Sigma$. Fix a number $1 < p < 3$. We derive monotone quantities for $p$-harmonic functions on $M$ which become…

In this paper, a new proof of the Positive Mass Theorem is established through a newly discovered monotonicity formula, holding along the level sets of the Green's function of an asymptotically flat $3$-manifold. In the same context and for…

We study the pure Neumann Lane-Emden problem in a bounded domain \[ -\Delta u = |u|^{p-1} u \text{ in }\Omega, \qquad \partial_\nu u=0 \text{ on }\partial \Omega, \] in the subcritical, critical, and supercritical regimes. We show existence…

We are concerned with the reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies based on measurements from a laboratory experiment. In doing so, we solve the inverse problem of the time-harmonic elastic wave equation, in contrast to the stationary…
