We consider Schr\"odinger operators $H=- \d^2/\d r^2+V$ on $L^2([0,\infty))$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The potential $V$ may be local or non-local, with polynomial decay at infinity. The point zero in the spectrum of $H$ is…

We consider the problem $-\Delta u+\lambda u=u^{p-1}$, where $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ verifies $\|u\|_{L^2}=m>0$, and $\lambda\in [0,+\infty)$. Here, $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega$ is nonempty and compact. We prove the existence of a solution…

We are concerned with positive solutions of equation (E) $(-\Delta)^s u=f(u)$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N>2s$), where $s \in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ and $f\in C^{\alpha}_{loc}(\mathbb{R})$ for some $\alpha \in(0,1)$. We establish…

We present some comparison results for solutions to certain non local elliptic and parabolic problems that involve the fractional Laplacian operator and mixed boundary conditions, given by a zero Dirichlet datum on part of the complementary…

We study Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ where $\Omega$ is $\mathbb R^d$ or the half-space $\mathbb R_+^d$, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For $p>d$ we construct a non-real potential…

We deal with existence, uniqueness and regularity of nonnegative solutions to a Dirichlet problem for equations as \begin{equation*} \displaystyle -\operatorname{div}\left(\frac{|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u}{(1+u)^{\theta(p-1)}}\right) = h(u)f…

Given an elliptic operator~$L$ on a bounded domain~$\Omega \subseteq {\bf R}^n$, and a positive Radon measure~$\mu$ on~$\Omega$, not charging polar sets, we discuss an explicit approximation procedure which leads to a sequence of…

This paper examines the solvability of the equation $\mathrm{div} \ \mathbf{u} = f$ with a zero Dirichlet boundary condition for $\mathbf{u}$. A classical result establishes that for a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with a…

In this paper we are proving the existence of a nontrivial solution of the ${p}(x)$- Laplacian equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. We will use the variational method and concentration compactness principle involving positive radon…

We show uniqueness for overdetermined elliptic problems defined on topological disks $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary, i.e., positive solutions $u$ to $\Delta u + f(u)=0$ in $\Omega \subset (M^2,g)$ so that $u = 0$ and $\frac{\partial…

In this paper we analyze the asymptotic behaviour as $p\to 1^+$ of solutions $u_p$ to $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rclr} -\Delta_p u_p&=&\frac{\lambda}{|x|^p}|u_p|^{p-2}u_p+f&\quad \mbox{ in } \Omega,\\ u_p&=&0 &\quad \mbox{ on }\partial\Omega,…

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…

The existence of positive solutions is considered for the Dirichlet problem \[ \left\{ \begin{array} [c]{rcll}% -\Delta_{p}u & = & \lambda\omega_{1}(x)\left\vert u\right\vert ^{q-2}% u+\beta\omega_{2}(x)\left\vert u\right\vert…

We investigate the Hardy-Schr\"odinger operator $L_\gamma=-\Delta -\frac{\gamma}{|x|^2}$ on domains $\Omega\subset\rn$, whose boundary contain the singularity $0$. The situation is quite different from the well-studied case when $0$ is in…

A classical regularity result is that non-negative solutions to the Dirichlet problem $\Delta u =f$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$, where $f\in L^q(\Omega)$, $q>\frac{n}2$, satisfy $\|u\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} \leq C\|f\|_{L^q(\Omega)}$. We…

We prove a quantitative inhomogeneous Hopf-Oleinik lemma for viscosity solutions of $$|\nabla u|^{\alpha}F(D^{2}u)=f $$ and, more generally, for viscosity supersolutions of $|\nabla u|^{\alpha}\,{M}^-_{\lambda,\Lambda}(D^{2}u)\le f$. The…

We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a solution of $(-\Delta)^s u = g$ in $\Omega$, $u \equiv 0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, for some…
