Given a real-valued function $c$ defined on the cartesian product of a generic Carnot group $\G$ and the first layer $V_1$ of its Lie algebra, we introduce a notion of $c$ horizontal convex ($c$ H-convex) function on $\G$ as the supremum of…
In this article, we study the asymptotics of harmonic functions. A typical method is by proving monotonicity formulas of a version of rescaled Dirichlet energy, and use it to study the renormalized solution -- the Almgren's blowup. However,…
Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…
We derive monotonicity formulae for solutions of the fractional H\'{e}non-Lane-Emden equation \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^{s} u=|x|^a |u|^{p-1} u \ \ \ \text{in } \ \ \mathbb{R}^n, \end{equation*} when $0<s<2$, $a>0$ and $p>1$. Then, we…
We prove quasi-monotonicity formulas for classical obstacle-type problems with energies being the sum of a quadratic form with Lipschitz coefficients, and a H\"older continuous linear term. With the help of those formulas we are able to…
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of the functions $t \mapsto \frac{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k w_k(t)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k w_k(t)}$ and $x \mapsto \frac{\int_\alpha^\beta f(t) w(t,x) \textrm{d} t}{\int_\alpha^\beta g(t) w(t,x)…
We consider positive solutions to $\displaystyle -\Delta_p u=\frac{1}{u^\gamma}+f(u)$ under zero Dirichlet condition in the half space. Exploiting a prio-ri estimates and the moving plane technique, we prove that any solution is monotone…
We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…
In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…
We continue the program initiated in \cite{SVGS}. In this paper, we focus on the infinite $d-$regular tree, and prove the monotonicity of a weighted Dirichlet energy, a Weiss-type monotonicity formula, and a generalization of the Almgren…
We generalize to the ${\rm RCD}(0,N)$ setting a family of monotonicity formulas by Colding and Minicozzi for positive harmonic functions in Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Rigidity and almost rigidity statements are…
In this article, we show that if $A$ is a maximal monotone operator on a Hilbert space $H$ with $0$ in the range $\textrm{Rg}(A)$ of $A$, then for every $0<s<1$, the Dirichlet problem associated with the Bessel-type equation $$…
We extend to the case of a system involving p-Laplacians, the monotonicity and symmetry results of Damascelli and Pacella obtained in the case of a scalar p-Laplace equation with $1<p<2$. For this purpose, we use the moving hyperplanes…
In this paper we prove an invariant Harnack inequality on Carnot-Carath\'eodory balls for fractional powers of sub-Laplacians in Carnot groups. The proof relies on an "abstract" formulation of a technique recently introduced by Caffarelli…
In this paper we prove the monotonicity of positive solutions to $ -\Delta_p u = f(u) $ in half-spaces under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, for $(2N+2)/(N+2) < p < 2$ and for a general class of regular changing-sign nonlinearities $f$.…
In [David-Toro 15] and [David-Engelstein-Toro 19], (some of) the authors studied almost minimizers for functionals of the type first studied by Alt and Caffarelli in [Alt-Caffarelli 81] and Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in…
We establish monotonicity formulas for a parabolic frequency function associated with sign-changing solutions to a class of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $\partial_t u = \mathcal{L}_{p,\varphi} u^q$ on weighted complete…
The formation of codimension-one interfaces for multi-well gradient-driven problems is well-known and established in the scalar case, where the equation is often referred to as the Allen-Cahn equation. The proofs rely for a large on a…
In this paper, we investigate the boundary H\"{o}lder regularity for elliptic equations (precisely, the Poisson equation, linear equations in divergence form and non-divergence form, the p-Laplace equations and fully nonlinear elliptic…
Based on an assumption on the Hessian of the Green function, we derive some monotonicity formulas on nonparabolic manifolds. This assumption is satisfied on manifolds that meet certain conditions including bounds on the sectional curvature…
