Nitsche's method is a standard device for weakly imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions, but for the stabilized nonsymmetric formulation the available $L^2$-error analysis for Poisson's equation still predicts a half-order loss, whereas…

We study the Dirichlet problem $-\div(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u) =0 $ in $\Omega$, with $u=f$ on $\partial \Omega$ and $p(x) = \infty$ in $D$, a subdomain of the reference domain $\Omega$. The main issue is to give a proper sense to what…

We prove local $W^{1,q}$-regularity for weak solutions to fractional $p$-Laplacian type equations with right-hand side $f\in L^r_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega)$. Assuming $p>1$, $s\in(0,1)$, and $sp'>1$, solutions belong to…

In this paper we consider the scale invariant shape functional $${\mathcal{F}}_{p,q}(\Omega)=\frac{\lambda_p^{1/p}(\Omega)}{\lambda_q^{1/q}(\Omega)},$$ where $1\le q<p\le+\infty$ and $\lambda_p(\Omega)$ (respectively $\lambda_q(\Omega)$) is…

In this paper we investigate the existence of a solution to the Poisson equation on complete manifolds with positive spectrum and Ricci curvature bounded from below. We show that if a function $f$ has decay $f=O(r^{-1-\varepsilon}) $ for…

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact orientable two-dimensional Riemannian manifold ({\it surface}) with a smooth metric tensor $g$ and smooth connected boundary $\Gamma$. Its {\it DN-map} $\Lambda_g:{C^\infty}(\Gamma)\to{C^\infty}(\Gamma)$ is…

Let $(M^n,g_0)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ with smooth non-empty boundary $\partial M$. Let $\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a symmetric convex cone and $f$ a symmetric defining function for $\Gamma$…

We proceed with the investigation of the problem $(P_\lambda): $ $-\Delta u = \lambda b(x)|u|^{q-2}u +a(x)|u|^{p-2}u \ \mbox{ in } \Omega, \ \ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \mathbf{n}} = 0 \ \mbox{ on } \partial \Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a…

We continue our study in \cite{FL} on viscosity solutions to a one-phase free boundary problem for the $p(x)$-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We first prove that viscosity solutions are locally Lipschitz continuous, which is the…
