For the thin obstacle problem in 3d, we show that half-space solutions form an isolated family in the space of $7/2$-homogeneous solutions. For a general solution with one blow-up profile in this family, we establish the rate of convergence…

For all odd positive integers $m$, we construct $\mu$-homogeneous solutions to the thin obstacle problem in $\mathbb{R}^3,$ with $\mu\in(m,m+1)$. For $m$ large, $\mu-m$ converges to $1$, so $\mu\neq m+\tfrac 1 2$. The restriction to odd…

In this paper we obtain rigidity results for a bounded non-constant entire solution $u$ of the Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$, whose level set $\{u=0\}$ is contained in a half-space. If $n\leq 3$ we prove that the solution must be…

We prove an epiperimetric inequality for the thin obstacle problem, extending the pioneering results by Weiss on the classical obstacle problem (Invent. Math. 138 (1999), no. 1, 23-50). This inequality provides the means to study the rate…

The aim of this paper is to study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator having degenerate coercivity. We prove the existence of an entropy solution to the obstacle problem under the assumption of $L^{1}-$summability on the data.…

The aim of this paper is twofold: to prove, for L^1-data, the existence and uniqueness of an entropy solution to the obstacle problem for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth, and to show some convergence and stability…

In this paper we study the continuous dependence with respect to obstacles for obstacle problems with measure data. This is deeply investigated introducing a suitable type of convergence, which gives stability under very general hypotheses.…

We study global solutions to the thin obstacle problem with at most quadratic growth at infinity. We show that every ellipsoid can be realized as the contact set of such a solution. On the other hand, if such a solution has a compact…
