We prove new, sharp, wavenumber-explicit bounds on the norms of the Helmholtz single- and double-layer boundary-integral operators as mappings from $L^2(\partial \Omega)\rightarrow H^1(\partial \Omega)$ (where $\partial\Omega$ is the…

This article deals with the variable coefficient thin obstacle problem in $n+1$ dimensions. We address the regular free boundary regularity, the behavior of the solution close to the free boundary and the optimal regularity of the solution…

We consider the Helmholtz transmission problem with one penetrable star-shaped Lipschitz obstacle. Under a natural assumption about the ratio of the wavenumbers, we prove bounds on the solution in terms of the data, with these bounds…

We consider the time-harmonic Maxwell equations posed in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove a priori bounds on the solution for $L^\infty$ coefficients $\epsilon$ and $\mu$ satisfying certain monotonicity properties, with these bounds valid for…

In this note, we use an epiperimetric inequality approach to study the regularity of the free boundary for the parabolic Signorini problem. We show that if the "vanishing order" of a solution at a free boundary point is close to $3/2$ or an…

We are concerned with the two-dimensional steady supersonic reacting Euler flow past Lipschitz bending walls that are small perturbations of a convex one, and establish the existence of global entropy solutions when the total variation of…

We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in…

We give three different proofs of the log-epiperimetric inequality at singular points for the obstacle problem. In the first, direct proof, we write the competitor explicitly; the second proof is also constructive, but this time the…

We obtain new estimates for the solution of both the porous medium and the fast diffusion equations by studying the evolution of suitable Lipschitz norms. Our results include instantaneous regularization for all positive times, long-time…

We introduce a symmetric (log-)epiperimetric inequality, generalizing the standard epiperimetric inequality, and we show that it implies a growth-decay for the associated energy: as the radius increases energy decays while negative and…

We study inverse boundary problems for semilinear Schr\"odinger equations on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $\ge 2$ with smooth boundary, at a large fixed frequency. We show that certain classes of cubic nonlinearities…

Non-reversible lifts reduce the relaxation time of reversible diffusions at most by a square root. For reversible diffusions on domains in Euclidean space, or, more generally, on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, non-reversible lifts are…

Using a direct approach, we prove a $2$-dimensional epiperimetric inequality for the one-phase problem in the scalar and vectorial cases and for the double-phase problem. From this we deduce, in dimension $2$, the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity…

In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the incompressible two-dimensional Euler equations in the exterior of a single smooth obstacle when the obstacle becomes very thin tending to a curve. We extend results by…

An inverse problem of finding an obstacle and the boundary condition on its surface from the fixed-energy scattering data is studied. A new method is developed for a proof of the uniqueness results. The method does not use the discreteness…

Advantage is taken of the arbitrariness in energy reference to consider anew integral transcriptions of Schrodinger's equation in the presence of potentials which at infinity acquire constant, nonvanishing values. It is found possible to…

We obtain sharp convergence rates, using Dirichlet correctors, for solutions of wave equations in a bounded domain with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. The results are used to prove the exact boundary controllability that is…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain satisfying a Hayman-type asymmetry condition, and let $ D $ be an arbitrary bounded domain referred to as "obstacle". We are interested in the behaviour of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue…
