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…

\begin{abstract} In this paper, we partly solve the generalized Khavinson conjecture in the setting of hyperbolic harmonic mappings in Hardy space. Assume that $u=\mathcal{P}_{\Omega}[\phi]$ and $\phi\in L^{p}(\partial\Omega, \mathbb{R})$,…

We study existence and regularity of weak solutions to a nonlinear parabolic Dirichlet problem $\partial_{t}u - \rho_{\lambda}(x)u\Delta u = \rho_{\lambda}(x)g_{0}(x)u$ on the half line $(0,\infty)$. We find weak solutions from $L^p\ (p <…

The celebrated conjecture by Payne, P\'{o}lya and Weinberger (1956) states that for the fixed membrane problem, the ratio of the first two eigenvalues, $\lambda_2/\lambda_1$, is maximized by a disk. A more general dimensional version of…

We consider the equation $\Delta^2 u=g(x,u) \geq 0$ in the sense of distribution in $\Omega'=\Omega\setminus \{0\} $ where $u$ and $ -\Delta u\geq 0.$ Then it is known that $u$ solves $\Delta^2 u=g(x,u)+\alpha \delta_0-\beta \Delta…

We shall discuss the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for: $f(x,u, Du, D^2u) = \psi(x)$ where $f$ is a "natural" differential operator, with a restricted domain $F$, on a manifold $X$. By "natural" we mean operators that arise intrinsically…

Let $u_{g}$ the unique solution of a parabolic variational inequality of second kind, with a given $g$. Using a regularization method, we prove, for all $g_{1}$ and $g_{2}$, a monotony property between $\mu u_{g_{1}} + (1-\mu)u_{g_{2}}$ and…

We consider three different questions related to the Steklov and mixed Steklov problems on surfaces. These questions are connected by the techniques that we use to study them, which exploit symmetry in various ways even though the surfaces…

In this work we study an optimal control problem subject to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations, where the control enters via an inhomogeneous Neumann/Do-Nothing boundary condition. Despite the Navier-Stokes equations with these…
