For all $N \geq 9$, we find smooth entire epigraphs in $\R^N$, namely smooth domains of the form $\Omega : = \{x\in \R^N\ / \ x_N > F (x_1,\ldots, x_{N-1})\}$, which are not half-spaces and in which a problem of the form $\Delta u + f(u) =…

In this paper, we deal with the long standing open problem of characterising rotationally symmetric solutions to $\Delta u = -2$, when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on a ring-shaped planar domain. From a physical perspective,…

We consider a class of overdetermined problems in rotationally symmetric spaces, which reduce to the classical Serrin's overdetermined problem in the case of the Euclidean space. We prove some general integral identities for rotationally…

We consider the heat equation in a smooth bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with nonlinear Neumann boundary condition $\partial_\nu u = \lambda (u - u^3)$. Stable non-constant stationary solutions do not exist when…

For the heat equation on a bounded subdomain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, we investigate the optimal shape and location of the observation domain in observability inequalites. A new decomposition of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ into heat packets…

We consider shape functionals of the form $F_q(\Omega)=P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $P(\Omega)$ denotes the perimeter of $\Omega$ and $T(\Omega)$ is the torsional…

We study the rigidity problem for $(-\alpha)$-homogeneous solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible stationary Euler equations in sector-type domains $\Omega_{a, b, \theta_0}:= \{(r,\theta): a<r<b, \ 0<\theta<\theta_0\}$, where…

Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a…

We study an overdetermined eigenvalue problem for domains $\Omega$ contained in the half-cylinder $\Sigma=\omega \times (0, +\infty)$, based on a bounded regular domain $\omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N-1}$. It is easy to see that in any…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a Lipschitz domain. We prove that, $\Omega$ satisfies the following Serrin-type overdetermined system $$u \in W^{1,2}(\mathbb R^n), \quad u=0\ \text{ a.e. in }\mathbb R^n\setminus \Omega,\quad \Delta…

In this note we construct smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, other than disks, for which the overdetermined problem $$ \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \Delta u + \lambda u &= 0 &\qquad& \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u &= b…

We consider the unit ball $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge2$) filled with two materials with different conductivities. We perform shape derivatives up to the second order to find out precise information about locally optimal…

We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…
