We consider weighted $L^p$-Hardy inequalities involving the distance to the boundary of a domain in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with nonempty boundary. Using criticality theory, we give an alternative proof of the following result…

We consider Monge-Amp\`ere equations with right hand side $f$ that degenerate to $\infty$ near the boundary of a convex domain $\Omega$, which are of the type $$\mathrm{det}\;D^2 u=f\quad\mathrm{in}\;\Omega,\quad\quad f\sim…

Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain, let $q>1$, with $q<{{n+2}\over {n-2}}$ if $n\geq 3$ and let $\lambda_1$ be the first eigenvalue of the problem $$\cases{-\Delta…

We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

It is a well-known fact that in a Lipschitz domain \Omega\subset R^n a p-Hardy inequality, with weight d(x,\partial\Omega)^\beta, holds for all u\in C_0^\infty(\Omega) whenever \beta<p-1. We show that actually the same is true under the…

We prove that in variable exponent spaces $L^{p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$, where $p(\cdot)$ satisfies the log-condition and $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbf R^n$ with the property that $\mathbf R^n \backslash \bar{\Omega}$ has the cone…

We consider the ground state $\phi_0$ of the Schr\"odinger operator $L=-\Delta+V$ on the bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$, satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition. Assume that $V\in C^1(\Omega)$ and it admits an even function…

We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.

We consider the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega,\sigma)$ of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions on a compact Riemannian manifold $\Omega$ with smooth boundary, $\sigma\in\bf R$ being the Robin boundary parameter. When $\sigma>0$…

For all $N \geq 9$, we find smooth entire epigraphs in $\R^N$, namely smooth domains of the form $\Omega : = \{x\in \R^N\ / \ x_N > F (x_1,\ldots, x_{N-1})\}$, which are not half-spaces and in which a problem of the form $\Delta u + f(u) =…

Classical boundary Hardy inequality, that goes back to 1988, states that if $1 < p < \infty, \ ~\Omega$ is bounded Lipschitz domain, then for all $u \in C^{\infty}_{c}(\Omega)$, $$\int_{\Omega} \frac{|u(x)|^{p}}{\delta^{p}_{\Omega}(x)} dx…

We give a complete characterization, as "stadium-like domains", of convex subsets $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ where a solution exists to Serrin-type overdetermined boundary value problems in which the operator is either the infinity…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Let $1\leq q_{0}\leq (n-1)$. We show that if $q_{0}$--sums of eigenvalues of the Levi form are comparable, then if the Diederich--Forn\ae ss index of $\Omega$ is $1$,…

Let G be a planar graph such that the volume function of G satisfies V(2n)< CV(n) for some constant C > 0. Then for every vertex v of G and integer n, there is a domain \Omega such that B(v,n) \subset \Omega, \Omega \subset B(v, 6n) and the…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded $C^{2,\alpha}$ domain in $\R^n$ ($n\geq 1$, $0<\alpha<1$), $\Omega^{\ast}$ be the open Euclidean ball centered at 0 having the same Lebesgue measure as $\Omega$, $\tau\geq 0$ and $v\in L^{\infty}(\Omega,\R^n)$ with…

On a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n>1$, the smoothness of the Cheng-Yau solution to Fefferman's complex Monge-Ampere equation up to the boundary is obstructed by a local CR invariant of the boundary. For a…

For any convex set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R} ^N$, we provide a lower bound for the inverse of the Poincar\'e constant in $W ^ {1, 1}(\Omega)$: it refines an inequality in terms of the diameter due to Acosta-Duran, via the addition of an…

We prove two rigidity results for a variational infinity ground state $u$ of an open bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. They state that $u$ coincides with a multiple of the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$ if either…

A domain in $\C^n$ with Levi-flat boundary near a given point is characterized in terms of the boundary behavior of the Kobayashi or Bergman metrics, or of the Bergman kernel. Some results are given in the case of intermediate values of the…
