We prove that if u is a bounded smooth function in the kernel of a nonnegative Schrodinger operator $-L=-(\Delta +q)$ on a parabolic Riemannian manifold M, then u is either identically zero or it has no zeros on M, and the linear space of…

We prove existence of solutions for a class of singular elliptic problems with a general measure as source term whose model is $$\begin{cases} -\Delta u = \frac{f(x)}{u^{\gamma}} +\mu & \text{in}\ \Omega, u=0 &\text{on}\ \partial\Omega, u>0…

By Birman and Skvortsov it is known that if $\Omegasf$ is a planar curvilinear polygon with $n$ non-convex corners then the Laplace operator with domain $H^2(\Omegasf)\cap H^1_0(\Omegasf)$ is a closed symmetric operator with deficiency…

We study semilinear elliptic equations \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = f(u) & \text{in } \Omega, \\ \partial_\nu u = 0 & \text{on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in…

We examine the fourth order problem $\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) $ in $ \Omega$ with $ \Delta u = u =0 $ on $ \partial \Omega$, where $ \lambda > 0$ is a parameter, $ \Omega$ is a bounded domain in $ R^N$ and where $f$ is one of the following…

For an elliptic, semilinear differential operator of the form $S(u) = A : D^2 u + b(x, u , Du)$, consider the functional $E_\infty(u) = \mathop{\mathrm{ess \, sup}}_\Omega |S(u)|$. We study minimisers of $E_\infty$ for prescribed boundary…

We are concerned with the classification of positive radial solutions for the system $\Delta u=v^p$, $\Delta v=f(|\nabla u|)$, where $p>0$ and $f\in C^1[0,\infty)$ is a nondecreasing function such that $f(t)>0$ for all $t>0$. We show that…
