Assuming a lower bound on the dimension, we prove a long standing conjecture concerning the classification of global solutions of the obstacle problem with unbounded coincidence sets.
The characterization of global solutions to the obstacle problems in $\mathbb{R}^N$, or equivalently of null quadrature domains, has been studied over more than 90 years. In this paper we give a conclusive answer to this problem by proving…
We study global solutions to the thin obstacle problem with at most quadratic growth at infinity. We show that every ellipsoid can be realized as the contact set of such a solution. On the other hand, if such a solution has a compact…
In this paper we give a full classification of global solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian (including the thin obstacle problem) with compact coincidence set and at most polynomial growth in dimension $N \geq 3$.…
We prove the -- to the best knowledge of the authors -- first result on the fine asymptotic behavior of the regular part of the free boundary of the obstacle problem close to singularities. The result is motivated by our recent partial…
We study rigidity/flexibility properties of global solutions to the thin obstacle problem. For solutions with bounded positive sets, we give a classification in terms of their expansions at infinity. For solutions with bounded contact sets,…
For the obstacle problem with a nonlinear operator, we characterize the space of global solutions with compact contact sets. This is achieved by constructing a bijection onto a class of quadratic polynomials describing the asymptotic…
In this paper, we study the coupled Einstein constraint equations on complete manifolds through the conformal method, focusing on non-compact manifolds with flexible asymptotics. This is physically well-motivated by standard cosmological…
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…
Existence and non-existence results are established for quasilinear elliptic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions and lack of compactness. The proofs combine variational methods with the geometrical feature, due to the competition…
We obtain a criterion for an analytic subset of a Euclidean space to contain points of differentiability of a typical Lipschitz function, namely, that it cannot be covered by countably many sets, each of which is closed and purely…
This article is an exposition of recent results on self-similar sets, asserting that if the dimension is smaller than the trivial upper bound then there are almost overlaps between cylinders. We give a heuristic derivation of the theorem…
In this paper the existence of solutions, $(\lambda,u)$, of the problem $$-\Delta u=\lambda u -a(x)|u|^{p-1}u \quad \hbox{in }\Omega, \qquad u=0 \quad \hbox{on}\;\;\partial\Omega,$$ is explored for $0 < p < 1$. When $p>1$, it is known that…
This paper concerns the formation of a coincidence set for the positive solution of $p$-Laplacian elliptic problems of monostable type. It is proved that for any small parameter of diffusion term, the solution coincides with the stable…
The non-transversal intersection of the free boundary with the fixed boundary is obtained for nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators when $\Omega = \{\nabla u \neq 0\} \cap \{x_n>0\}$ thereby solving a problem in elliptic theory that in the…
The compactness phenomenon is one of the featured aspects of structuralism in mathematics. In simple and broad words, a compactness property holds in a structure if a related property is satisfied by sufficiently many substructures of that…
We consider the supercritical elliptic problem -\Delta u = \lambda e^u, \lambda > 0, in an exterior domain $\Omega = \mathbb{R}^N \setminus D$ under zero Dirichlet condition, where D is smooth and bounded in \mathbb{R}^N, N greater or equal…
We consider periodic homogenization with localized defects for semilinear elliptic equations and systems of the type $$ \nabla\cdot\Big(\Big(A(x/\varepsilon)+B(x/\varepsilon)\Big)\nabla u(x)+c(x,u(x)\Big)=d(x,u(x)) \mbox{ in } \Omega $$…
In this paper, we explore cooperative and competitive coupled obstacle systems, which, up to now, are new type obstacle systems and formed by coupling two equations belonging to classical obstacle problem. On one hand, applying the…
The aim of this paper is to show that, for a class of non-cooperative elliptic systems on compact symmetric spaces, any continuum of nontrivial solutions bifurcating from the set of trivial solutions is unbounded. The main tool is the…
