We characterize the set of positive harmonic functions with Dirichlet boundary conditions in unbounded domains which are union of several different chambers. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the solutions in connection with the changes…

We use the Method of Difference Potentials (MDP) to solve a non-overlapping domain decomposition formulation of the Helmholtz equation. The MDP reduces the Helmholtz equation on each subdomain to a Calderon's boundary equation with…

In this paper, we consider the following non-linear equations in unbounded domains $\Omega$ with exterior Dirichlet condition: \begin{equation*}\begin{cases} (-\Delta)_p^s u(x)=f(u(x)), & x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)>0, &x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)\leq0,…

We consider a second-order hyperbolic equation on an open bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n\geq2$, with $C^2$-boundary $\Gamma=\pa\Omega=\bar{\Gamma_0\cup\Gamma_1}$, $\Gamma_0\cap\Gamma_1=\emptyset$, subject to…

If $U$ is a $C^{\infty}$ function with compact support in the plane, we let $u$ be its restriction to the unit circle $\mathbb{S}$, and denote by $U_i,\,U_e$ the harmonic extensions of $u$ respectively in the interior and the exterior of…
