The method of Lagrange multipliers relates the critical points of a given function f to the critical points of an auxiliary function F. We establish a cohomological relationship between f and F and use it, in conjunction with the…
Non-existence and uniqueness results are proved for several local and non-local supercritical bifurcation problems involving a semilinear elliptic equation depending on a parameter. The domain is star-shaped but no other symmetry assumption…
We prove the existence of one positive, one negative, and one sign-changing solution of a $p$-Laplacian equation on $\mathbb{R}^N$, with a $p$-superlinear subcritical term. Sign-changing solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations set on…
We prove nonexistence of nontrivial bounded solutions to some nonlinear problems involving nonlocal operators of the form \[Lu(x)=\sum a_{ij}\partial_{ij}u+{\rm PV}\int_{\R^n}(u(x)-u(x+y))K(y)dy.\] These operators are infinitesimal…

Critical points of an invariant function may or may not be symmetric. We prove, however, that if a symmetric critical point exists, those adjacent to it are generically symmetry breaking. This mathematical mechanism is shown to carry…

In this work we consider a system of quasilinear elliptic equations driven by an anisotropic $p$-Laplacian. The lower-order nonlinearities are in potential form and exhibit critical Sobolev growth. We exhibit conditions on the coefficients…
This work proposes an implementable proximal-type method for a broad class of optimization problems involving nonsmooth and nonconvex objective and constraint functions. In contrast to existing methods that rely on an ad hoc model…
We discuss the existence theory of a nonlinear problem of nonlocal type subject to Neumann boundary conditions. Differently from the existing literature, the elliptic operator under consideration is obtained as a superposition of operators…
We apply a topological method to prove existence of positive solutions for the nonlineair Choquard equation with upper critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inquality on bounded domains having nontrivial homology group.
In this paper we develop a new theory for the existence, localization and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of non-variational,quasilinear, elliptic systems. In order to do this, we provide a fairly general abstract framework…
The theory of elliptic equations involving singular nonlinearities is well studied topic but the interaction of singular type nonlinearity with nonlocal nonlinearity in elliptic problems has not been investigated so far. In this article, we…
Given an elliptic operator $P$ on a non-compact manifold (with proper asymptotic conditions), there is a discrete set of numbers called indicial roots. It's known that $P$ is Fredholm between weighted Sobolev spaces if and only if the…

Point-to-point reflection holding for harmonic functions subject to the Dirichlet or Neumann conditions on an analytic curve in the plane almost always fails for solutions to more general elliptic equations. We develop a non-local,…
