We develop a Helmholtz-like theorem for differential forms in Euclidean space $E_{n}$ using a uniqueness theorem similar to the one for vector fields. We then apply it to Riemannian manifolds, $R_{n}$, which, by virtue of the…
The Schwarz function has played an elegant role in understanding and in generating new examples of exact solutions to the Laplacian growth (or "Hele- Shaw") problem in the plane. The guiding principle in this connection is the fact that…

We introduce variational approximations for curve evolutions in two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are conformally flat, i.e.\ conformally equivalent to the Euclidean space. Examples include the hyperbolic plane, the hyperbolic disk,…
The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to an elliptic partial differential equation becomes multivalued when the underlying Dirichlet problem is not uniquely solvable. The main objective of this paper is to present a systematic study of…
A class of subharmonic functions represented by the modified kernels are proved to have the growth estimates $u(z)= o(y^{1-\alpha}|z|^{m+\alpha})$ at infinity in the upper half plane ${\bf C}_{+}$, which generalizes the growth properties of…
We consider the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian for a planar, simply connected domain. The eigenvalues admit a characterization in terms of a layer potential of the Helmholtz equation. Using the exterior conformal mapping…
This paper is devoted to Riemann-Hilbert problems with constraints. We obtain results characterizing the existence of solutions as well as the dimension of the solution space in terms of certain indices. As an application, we show how such…

The Cauchy problem for harmonic maps from Minkowski space with its standard flat metric to a certain non-constant curvature Lorentzian 2-metric is studied. The target manifold is distinguished by the fact that the Euler-Lagrange equation…
Two approaches to solution of the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with a "wave number" are proposed. The results can be applied both in numerical areas of physics and in the theory of nonlinear equations. The first approach is based on…
We study the existence of positive increasing radial solutions for superlinear Neumann problems in the ball. We do not impose any growth condition on the nonlinearity at infinity and our assumptions allow for interactions with the spectrum.…
We provide a general approach to Lipschitz regularity of solutions for a large class of vector-valued, nonautonomous variational problems exhibiting nonuniform ellipticity. The functionals considered here range amongst those with unbalanced…
In acoustical engineering, analytical methodologies are often restricted to two or three dimensions; however, a general-dimensional approach can enhance learning and implementation efficiency while providing a unified understanding of…
According to the Schwarz symmetry principle, every harmonic function vanishing on a real analytic curve has an odd continuation, while a harmonic function satisfying homogeneous Neumann condition has the even continuation. There are…
In this article we implement a method for the computation of a nonlinear elliptic problem with nonstandard growth driven by the $p(x)-$Laplacian operator. Our implementation is based in the {\em decomposition--coordination} method that…
The Jacobian elliptic functions are generalized and applied to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with $p$-Laplacian. The eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenfunction are represented in terms of common parameters, and a complete description…
We prove the existence of classical solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations of curvature type on Riemannian manifolds. We also derive new second derivative boundary estimates which allows us to…
Conformal mapping has been applied mostly to harmonic functions, i.e. solutions of Laplace's equation. In this paper, it is noted that some other equations are also conformally invariant and thus equally well suited for conformal mapping in…
