In 2013, Abo and Wan studied the analogue of Waring's problem for systems of skew-symmetric forms and identified several defective systems. Of particular interest is when a certain secant variety of a Segre-Grassmann variety is expected to…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},\mathbb{k})$ be an equicharacteristic one-dimensional complete local domain over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic 0. R. Berger conjectured that R is regular if and only if the universally…
This paper studies the state observation problems for the semilinear heat equation in R^n. We derive observation estimates for the equation using the logarithmic convexity property of the frequency function (see [12]). As an application, we…
We establish symmetry results for two categories of overdetermined obstacle problems: a Serrin-type problem and a two-phase problem under the overdetermination that the interface serves as a level surface of the solution. The first proof…
We consider the Neumann type problem of the heat equation in a moving thin domain around a given closed moving hypersurface. The main result of this paper is an error estimate in the sup-norm for classical solutions to the thin domain…
In this paper, using the theory developed in [8], we obtain some results of a totally new type about a class of non-local problems. Here is a sample: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain, with $n\geq 4$, let $a, b,…
The problem of heat conduction in one-dimensional piecewise homogeneous composite materials is examined by providing an explicit solution of the one-dimensional heat equation in each domain. The location of the interfaces is known, but…
In Lipschitz two and three dimensional domains, we study the existence for the so--called Boussinesq model of thermally driven convection under singular forcing. By singular we mean that the heat source is allowed to belong to…
We establish quantitative stability for the nonlocal Serrin overdetermined problem, via the method of the moving planes. Interestingly, our stability estimate is even better than those obtained so far in the classical setting (i.e., for the…
We consider the following eigenvalue optimization problem: Given a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$ and numbers $\alpha\geq 0$, $A\in [0,|\Omega|]$, find a subset $D\subset\Omega$ of area $A$ for which the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of…
We consider a quasi-linear homogenization problem in a two-dimensional pre-fractal domain $\Omega_n$, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$, surrounded by thick fibers of amplitude $\varepsilon$. We introduce a sequence of "pre-homogenized" energy…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb R^3$ with $\partial\Omega = \partial\left(\mathbb R^3\setminus \overline{\Omega}\right)$, where $\partial\Omega$ is unbounded and connected, and let $u$ be the solution of the Cauchy problem for the heat…
We consider shape optimization problems with internal inclusion constraints, of the form $$\min\big\{J(\Omega)\ :\ \Dr\subset\Omega\subset\R^d,\ |\Omega|=m\big\},$$ where the set $\Dr$ is fixed, possibly unbounded, and $J$ depends on…
Maxmin-$\omega$ dynamical systems were previously introduced as a generalization of dynamical systems expressed by tropical linear algebra. To describe steady states of such systems one has to study an eigenproblem of the form…
We consider the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ on convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions $u =0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Our main concern is the behavior of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}}$, also known as…
Let $N\geq 1$ and $s\in (0,1)$. In the present work we characterize bounded open sets $\Omega$ with $ C^2$ boundary (\textit{not necessarily connected}) for which the following overdetermined problem \begin{equation*} ( -\Delta)^s u = f(u)…
We consider the following fractional semilinear Neumann problem on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq2$, $$\begin{cases} (-\varepsilon\Delta)^{1/2}u+u=u^{p},&\hbox{in}~\Omega,\\ \partial_\nu…
We examine Serrin's classical overdetermined problem under a perturbation of the Neumann boundary condition. The solution of the problem for a constant Neumann boundary condition exists provided that the underlying domain is a ball. The…
In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the measure of the domain. Our result generalizes to arbitrary…
For open radial sets $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$ we consider the nonlinear problem \[ (P)\quad Iu=f(|x|,u) \quad\text{in $\Omega$,}\quad u\equiv 0\quad \text{on $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega$ and }\lim_{|x|\to\infty} u(x)=0, \]…
