We construct the heat kernel on curvilinear polygonal domains in arbitrary surfaces for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions as well as mixed problems, including those of Zaremba type. We compute the short time asymptotic…

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…

This paper deals with the lack of compactness in nonlinear elliptic problems $(P)$. In particular, a domain $\Omega$ is provided where not converging Palais-Smale sequences exist at every energy level. Nevertheless, it is proved that…

We prove \emph{uniform solvability estimates} for certain families of elliptic problems posed in a bounded family of domains (for example, a sequence that converges to another domain). We provide uniform estimates both in weighted and in…

If $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^N$, we study conditions on a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\partial\Omega$ for solving the equation $-\Delta u+e^{u}-1=0$ in $\Omega$ with $u=\mu$ on $\partial\Omega$. The conditions are expressed in…

We investigate a shape optimization problem of the Polya-Szego type and prove some results on symmetry and asymmetry of extremal domains.

Considered here is one quite general problem about description of extremal configurations maximizing the product of inner radii non-overlapping domains.

In a previous article about the homogenization of the classical problem of diff usion in a bounded domain with su ciently smooth boundary we proved that the error is of order $\epsilon^{1/2}$. Now, for an open set with su ciently smooth…

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…

We consider the 2D incompressible Euler equation on a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega$. We give sufficient conditions on the domain $\Omega$ so that for all initial vorticity $\omega_0 \in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ the weak solutions are…

In this paper, we prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1},n\geq1$, bifurcating from the straight cylinder $B\times\mathbb{R}$ (where $B$ is the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$), such that the…

We obtain some rigidity results for overdetermined boundary value problems for singular solutions in bounded domains.

In this paper we study the boundary behavior of solutions of a divergence-form subelliptic heat equation in a time-varying domain \Omega in R^{n+1}, structured on a set of vector fields X = (X_1, ... X_m) with smooth coefficients satisfying…

We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…

The thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional model describing spin dynamics in the presence of a twofold orbital degeneracy are studied numerically using the transfer-matrix renormalization group (TMRG). The model contains an…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, be a bounded, open and convex set and let $f$ be a positive and non-increasing function depending only on the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$. We consider the $p-$torsional rigidity…

We study the semilinear indefinite elliptic problem \[ -\Delta u = Q_\Omega |u|^{p-2}u \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N, \] where $Q_\Omega = \chi_\Omega - \chi_{\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega}$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded…

In an open bounded interval $\Omega$, the problem \[ u_{tt} = u_{xx} - \big(f(\Theta)\big)_x, \Theta_t = \Theta_{xx} - f(\Theta) u_{xt}, \] is considered under the boundary conditions $u|_{\partial\Omega}=\Theta_x|_{\partial\Omega}=0$, and…

In this thesis, we explore several related topics broadly regarding the symmetry and geometric properties of nonlocal partial differential equations (PDE). This thesis is split into three parts. In the first part, we study two…
