It is developed the theory of the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions. On this basis, for the nondegenerate Beltrami equations in the quasidisks and, in particular, in the smooth domains, it is proved the existence of regular solutions…

In this paper, we investigate whether Variational Principles can be associated with the Helmholtz equation subject to impedance (absorbing) boundary conditions. This model has been extensively studied in the literature from both…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear second-order equations on a riemannian manifold. As in a previous paper we define equations via closed subsets of the 2-jet bundle. Basic existence and uniqueness theorems are…

We prove a scale-invariant boundary Harnack principle for inner uni- form domains in metric measure Dirichlet spaces. We assume that the Dirichlet form is symmetric, strongly local, regular, and that the volume doubling property and…

We couple the issue of evolution in the laws of physics with that of violations of energy conservation. We define evolution in terms of time variables canonically dual to ``constants'' (such as $\Lambda$, the Planck mass or the…

A system of boundary-domain integral equations is derived from the bidimensional Dirichlet problem for the diffusion equation with variable coefficient using the novel parametrix from [22] different from the one in [5,18]. Mapping…

We prove that on convex domains, first mixed Laplace eigenfunctions have no interior critical points if the Dirichlet region is connected and sufficiently small. We also find two seemingly new estimates on the first mixed eigenvalue to give…

Let $\mathbb{D}(u)$ be the Dirichlet energy of a map $u$ belonging to the Sobolev space $H^1_{u_0}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^2)$ and let $A$ be a subclass of $H^1_{u_0}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^2)$ whose members are subject to the constraint $\det \nabla…

This paper is concerned with the sensitivity analysis of a class of parameterized fixed-point problems that arise in the context of obstacle-type quasi-variational inequalities. We prove that, if the operators in the considered fixed-point…

It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…
