Let $\,(M,g)\,$ be a $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold and $\,\Omega\,$ be any compact connected domain in $\,M$. We study the problem of finding the {\em maxima} of the functional $\, {\mathcal E} (\Omega)\,$ (known as {\em torsional…

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $p>n$, Morrey's inequality implies that there is $c>0$ such that $$ c\|u\|^p_{\infty}\le \int_\Omega|Du|^pdx $$ for each $u$ belonging to the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$. We show…

We obtain bounds for the expected loss of torsional rigidity of a cylinder $\Omega_L=(-L/2,L/2) \times \Omega\subset \R^3$ of length $L$ due to a Brownian fracture that starts at a random point in $\Omega_L,$ and runs until the first time…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, convex, centrally symmetric in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ with a connected $C^{2,\epsilon}$ ($\epsilon\in(0,1)$) boundary. We show that, if the following overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation} -\Delta u=\alpha…

Let $\Omega$ be an open connected cone in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with vertex at the origin. Assume that the operator $$P_\mu:=-\Delta-\frac{\mu}{\delta_\Omega^2(x)}$$ is {\em subcritical} in $\Omega$, where $\delta_\Omega$ is the distance function…
