Let D be a bounded planar C^1 domain, or a Lipschitz domain "flat enough", and consider the Beurling transform of 1_D, the characteristic function of D. Using a priori estimates, in this paper we solve the following free boundary problem:…
We consider the 2D incompressible Euler equation on a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega$. We give sufficient conditions on the domain $\Omega$ so that for all initial vorticity $\omega_0 \in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ the weak solutions are…
Complex structures can only form in a universe that allows for bound states. While this is clearly observed in three-dimensions, added degrees of freedom in a higher-dimensional space preclude the immediate assumption that binding…
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of very weak solutions to linear diffusion equations involving a singular absorption potential and/or an unbounded convective flow on a bounded open set of $\mathbb R^N$. In most of the…

A planar dual billiard is a planar curve $\gamma$ equipped with a family $(\sigma_P)|_{P\in\gamma}$ of projective involutions of the projective lines $L_P$ tangent to $\gamma$ at $P$ that fix $P$. A dual billiard is called rationally…

We consider the problem of recovering a smooth, compactly supported potential on R^3 from its backscattering data. We show that if two such potentials have the same backscattering data and the difference of the two potentials has controlled…
Given a parabolic cylinder $Q =(0,T)\times\Omega$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$ is a bounded domain, we prove new properties of solutions of \[ u_t-\Delta_p u = \mu \quad \text{in $Q$} \] with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where…
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 discuss the validity of the Weyl asymptotics -- in the sense of two-sided bounds -- for the size of the discrete spectrum of (discrete) Schr\"odinger operators on the $d$--dimensional, $d\geq 1$, cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ at large…
This paper deals with a boundary-value problem for a coupled quasilinear chemotaxis--haptotaxis model with nonlinear diffusion $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_t=\nabla\cdot(D(u)\nabla u)-\chi\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)-\xi \nabla\cdot(u\nabla…

We show that measurements of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map, roughly speaking, on a certain part of the boundary of a smooth domain in dimension 3 or higher, for inputs with support restricted to the other part, determine an electric…
We consider a number of boundary value problems involving the $p$-Laplacian. The model case is $-\Delta_p u=V|u|^{p-2}u$ for $u\in W_0^{1,2}(D)$ with $D$ a bounded domain in ${\bf R}^n$. We derive necessary conditions for the existence of…
Assume that $f(s) = F'(s)$ where $F$ is a double-well potential. Under certain conditions on the Lipschitz constant of $f$ on $[-1,1]$, we prove that arbitrary bounded global solutions of the semilinear equation $\Delta u = f(u)$ on…
Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…
