In this paper we continue the study started in part I (posted). We consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected region $\Omega$, and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a cellular decomposition of $\Omega\cup\bord\Omega$,…

We study a problem of minimal surfaces with free boundary written in the form of a non convex minimization problem. Our aim is to characterize optimal solutions by finding a suitable calibration field. A natural upper bound of the infimum…

For a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, we introduce the concept of a uniformly $C^m$ defining function. We characterize uniformly $C^m$ defining functions in terms of the signed distance function for the boundary and provide a large class…

We are motivated by studying a boundary-value problem for a class of semilinear degenerate elliptic equations \begin{align}\tag{P}\label{P} \begin{cases} - \Delta_x u - |x|^{2\alpha} \dfrac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} = f(x,y,u) &…

We consider the supercritical problem {equation*} -\Delta u=|u| ^{p-2}u\text{\in}\Omega,\quad u=0\text{\on}\partial\Omega, {equation*} where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and $p$ smaller than the critical exponent…

We develop a new boundary condition for the weak inverse mean curvature flow, which gives canonical and non-trivial solutions in bounded domains. Roughly speaking, the boundary of the domain serves as an outer obstacle, and the evolving…

We consider the inverse conductivity problem of identifying embedded objects in unbounded domains. The main tool is a set of special solutions to the Schroedinger equation, the complex spherical waves, which are constructed by a Carleman…

We study an overdetermined elliptic free boundary problem for exterior domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \ge 2$, introduced by F. Morabito [Comm. PDE 46 (2021), 1137-1161]. The overdetermining condition prescribes the Neumann data as a multiple…

We consider a mixed boundary value problem in a domain $\Omega$ contained in a half-ball $B_+$ and having a portion $\bar{T}$ of its boundary in common with the curved part of $\partial B_+$. The problem has to do with some sort of…

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…

We consider a variational problem for submanifolds Q $\subset$ M with nonempty boundary $\partial$Q = K. We propose the definition that the boundary K of any critical point Q have constant mean curvature, which seems to be a new perspective…
