We study the nodal set of the Steklov eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ - the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Under the assumption that the domain $\Omega$ is $C^2$, we prove a…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

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…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $R^n$, and let $N=3\cdot 2^{n-1}$. We prove that the trace of the space $C^2(\Omega)$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ has the following finiteness property: A function $f:\partial\Omega\to R$ is the trace to the…

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a piecewise-smooth, bounded convex domain in $\R^2$ and consider $L^2$-normalized Neumann eigenfunctions $\phi_{\lambda}$ with eigenvalue $\lambda^2$ and $u_{\lambda}:= \phi_{\lambda} |_{\partial \Omega}$ the associated…

We introduce a notion of smooth fields of operators following the notion of smooth fields of Hilbert spaces recently defined by L. Lempert and R. Sz\H{o}oke arXiv:1004.4863(2) . Formally, if $\nabla$ is the connection of a smooth field of…

Local boundary smoothness of an analytic function f on the unit ball of C^n is compared to the smoothness of its modulus. We prove that different conditions imposed on the zeros of f imply different drops of the smoothness. We also show…

The article is devoted to the investigation of smoothness of functions $f(x_1,...,x_m)$ of variables $x_1,...,x_m$ in infinite fields with non-trivial multiplicative ultra-norms, where $m\ge 2$. Theorems about classes of smoothness $C^n$ or…

In the unit ball B(0,1), let $u$ and $\Omega$ (a domain in $\R$) solve the following overdetermined problem: $$\Delta u =\chi_\Omega\quad \hbox{in} B(0,1), \qquad 0 \in \partial \Omega, \qquad u=|\nabla u |=0 \quad \hbox{in} B(0,1)\setminus…

In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional \[ J_F(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\lambda^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $\chi_D$ is the characteristic function of a…

An improvement to a Berezin-Li-Yau type inequality for $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}|_{\Omega},$ the fractional Laplacian operators restriced to a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ for $\alpha\in(0,2],$ $d\ge 2,$ is proved.

In this work, we revisit the following estimate due to Dahlberg \cite{Dahl}. Let $\textit{\textbf x}_0$ a fixed point in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$. Then there exists a constant $C > 0$ such that if $u$ is a harmonic function in…

Consider a locally Lipschitz function $u$ on the closure of a possibly unbounded open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^{1,1}$ boundary. Suppose $u$ is semiconcave on $\overline \Omega$ with a fractional semiconcavity modulus. Is it…

We consider triplets of densities $(u_1,u_2,u_3)$ minimizing the Dirichlet energy \[\sum_{j=1}^3 \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_j|^2\,dx \] over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, subject to the partial segregation condition: \[…

For all functions on an arbitrary open set $\Omega\subset\R^3$ with zero boundary values, we prove the optimal bound \[ \sup_{\Omega}|u| \leq (2\pi)^{-1/2} \left(\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2 \,dx\, \int_{\Omega}|\Delta u|^2 \,dx\right)^{1/4}.…

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m, m\geq 2,$ of class $C^0$, the properties are studied of fields of `good directions', that is the directions with respect to which $\partial\Omega$ can be locally represented as the graph of a…

In this paper we study the optimization problem $$\mu^\star(\Omega):=\inf_{u\in \semi}\frac{\into |\n u|^2 \dx}{\into V u^2 \dx}$$ in a suitable functional space $\semi$. Here, $V$ is the multi-singular potential given by $$V:=\sum_{1\leq…
