Motivated by the Serrin problem, we study weak solutions of the generalised Alt-Caffarelli problem $-\Delta u = f$ in $\Omega$, $u = 0$ on $\partial\Omega$, $\partial_\nu u = Q$ on $\partial\Omega$. Our main result establishes that if…
We consider solutions to $$ - \Delta_{p} u = f(x) \quad \text{in } \Omega\, ,$$ when $p$ approaches the semilinear limiting case $p=2$ and we get third order estimates. As a consequence we deduce improved regularity properties of the stress…
For the $p$-Laplace Dirichlet problem (where $\varphi (t)=t|t|^{p-2}$, $p>1$) \[ \varphi(u'(x))'+ f(u(x))=0 \;\;\;\; \mbox{for $-1<x<1$}, \;\; u(-1)=u(1)=0 \] assume that $f'(u)>(p-1)\frac{f(u)}{u}>0$ for $u>\gamma>0$, while $\int_u^\gamma…
We establish the uniqueness of the higher radial bound state solutions of $$ \Delta u +f(u)=0,\quad x\in \RR^n. \leqno(P) $$ We assume that the nonlinearity $f\in C(-\infty,\infty)$ is an odd function satisfying some convexity and growth…
We consider the semilinear problem \[ \Delta u = \lambda_+ \left(-\log u^+\right) 1_{\{u > 0\}} - \lambda_- \left(-\log u^- \right) 1_{\{u < 0\}} \qquad \hbox{ in } B_1, \] where $B_1$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and assume…
We propose and study a concept of renormalized solution to the problem $\Delta_p u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N_+$, $|\nabla u|^{p-2}u_{\nu} + g(u) = \mu$ on $\partial\mathbb{R}^N_+$, where $1<p\leq N$, $N\geq 2$,…
In this paper, we consider higher regularity of a weak solution $({\bf u},p)$ to stationary Stokes systems with variable coefficients. Under the assumptions that coefficients and data are piecewise $C^{s,\delta}$ in a bounded domain…
We study the uniqueness problem of $\sigma$-regular solution of the equation, $$-\Delta_p u+ \abs u^{q-1}u =h \quad on\quad \RN, $$ where $q>p-1>0.$ and $N> p.$ Other coercive type equations associated to more general differential operators…
We derive the unique continuation property of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. The simplest type of equations to which our results apply is given as $-\Delta u = |u|^{\sigma-1} u$ in a domain…
In this paper, we fully resolve the question of whether the Regularity problem for the parabolic PDE $\partial_tu - \mbox{div}(A\nabla u)=0$ on the domain $\mathbb R^{n+1}_+\times\mathbb R$ is solvable for some $p\in (1,\infty)$ under the…
We consider a class of nonlinear integro-differential equations whose leading operator is obtained as a superposition of $(-\Delta_{p})^{s}$ and $(-\Delta_{p})^{t}$, where $0<s<t<1<p<\infty$, weighted via two possibly degenerate…
We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a weak solution of $(-\Delta)^s u=f$ in $\Omega$, $\mathcal N_s u=0$ in $\Omega^c$, then $u$ is $C^\alpha$…
The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…
We obtain conditions for the differentiability of weak solutions for a second-order uniformly elliptic equation in divergence form with a homogeneous co-normal boundary condition. The modulus of continuity for the coefficients is assumed to…
We establish the optimal regularity of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian, $(-\Delta)^s u=h$ in $\Omega$, with the external condition $\mathcal N^s u=0$ in $\Omega^c$. For this, a key point is to establish a 1D…
We prove global gradient estimates for parabolic $p$-Laplace type equations with measure data, whose model is $$u_t - \textrm{div} \left(|Du|^{p-2} Du\right) = \mu \quad \textrm{in} \ \Omega \times (0,T) \subset \mathbb{R}^n \times…
We study the boundary behaviour of solutions $u$ of $-\Delta_{N}u+ |u|^{q-1}u=0$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^{N}$ subject to the boundary condition $u=0$ except at one point, in the range $q>N-1$. We prove that if…

In this paper it is shown that higher order quasiconvex functions suitable in the variational treatment of problems involving second derivatives may be extended to the space of all matrices as classical quasiconvex functions. Precisely, it…
