We consider a potential $W:R^m\rightarrow R$ with two different global minima $a_-, a_+$ and, under a symmetry assumption, we use a variational approach to show that the Hamiltonian system \begin{equation} \ddot{u}=W_u(u), \hskip 2cm (1)…

In this paper we consider a semi-linear, energy sub-critical, defocusing wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = - |u|^{p -1} u$ in the 3-dimensional space with $p \in [3,5)$. We prove that if initial data $(u_0, u_1)$ are radial so that…

In this paper, we are concerned with the following elliptic equation $$ ( SC_\varepsilon ) \qquad \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |u|^{4/(n-2)}u [\ln (e+|u|)]^\varepsilon & \hbox{ in } \Omega,\\ u = 0 & \hbox{ on }\partial \Omega, \end{cases} $$…

We propose a new weak solution concept for (two-phase) mean curvature flow which enjoys both (unconditional) existence and (weak-strong) uniqueness properties. These solutions are evolving varifolds, just as in Brakke's formulation, but are…
