In this paper, we establish the convergence of solutions to the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation (with a Tonelli Hamiltonian): \[ \lambda u +H(x, du)=\varepsilon(\lambda)\Delta u,\quad \lambda>0 \] as $\lambda\rightarrow 0_+$, once the…

We give a simple proof of the strong maximum principle for viscosity subsolutions of fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on the form $$ F(x,u,Du,D^2u) = 0 $$ under suitable structure conditions on the equation allowing for non-Lipschitz growth in…

For a parabolic equation associated to a uniformly elliptic operator, we obtain a $W^{3, \varepsilon}$ estimate, which provides a lower bound on the Lebesgue measure of the set on which a viscosity solution has a quadratic expansion. The…

This paper is devoted to the study of semi-stable radial solutions $u\in H^1(B_1)$ of $-\Delta u=g(u) {in} B_1\setminus \{0\}$, where $g\in C^1(R)$ is a general nonlinearity and $B_1$ is the unit ball of $R^N$. We establish sharp pointwise…

We study symmetry properties of viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations. We show that if $u$ is a viscosity solution of a rotationally invariant equation of the form $F(x,D^2u)+f(x,u)=0$, then the operator…

We consider variational integrals of the form $\int F(D^2u)$ where $F$ is convex and smooth on the Hessian space. We show that a critical point $u\in W^{2,\infty}$ of such a functional under compactly supported variations is smooth if the…

In this work, we study the Landis conjecture for second-order elliptic equations in the plane. Precisely, assume that $V\ge 0$ is a measurable real-valued function satisfying $\|V\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb R}^2)} \le 1$. Let $u$ be a real…

In this paper, we consider periodic soft inclusions $T_{\epsilon}$ with periodicity $\epsilon$, where the solution, $u_{\epsilon}$, satisfies semi-linear elliptic equations of non-divergence in $\Omega_{\epsilon}=\Omega\setminus…

We prove higher-order fractional Sobolev regularity for fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations in the presence of unbounded source terms. More precisely, we show the existence of a universal number $0< \varepsilon <1$, depending only…

We prove that viscosity solutions to the quadratic Hessian equation $$\sigma_2(D^2u) = 1$$ cannot touch a harmonic function on a minimal surface from below. This can be viewed as a form of strict $2$-convexity. We also prove an a priori…

We study the following semilinear biharmonic equation $$ \left\{\begin{array}{lllllll} \Delta^{2}u=\frac{\lambda}{1-u}, &\quad \mbox{in}\quad \B, u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=0, &\quad \mbox{on}\quad \partial\B, \end{array} \right.…

In 1991 De Giorgi conjectured that, given $\lambda >0$, if $\mu_\varepsilon$ stands for the density of the Allen-Cahn energy and $v_\varepsilon$ represents its first variation, then $\int [v_\varepsilon^2 + \lambda] d\mu_\varepsilon$ should…

We prove that if $u : B_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ is a Lipschitz critical point of the area functional with respect to outer variations, then $u$ is smooth. This solves a conjecture of Lawson and Osserman from 1977 in…

We prove that if $u:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is strongly convex, then for every $\varepsilon>0$ there is a strongly convex function $v\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $|\{u\neq v\}|<\varepsilon$ and $\Vert u-v\Vert_\infty<\varepsilon$.

We study the vanishing viscosity limit for $2\times2$ triangular system of hyperbolic conservation laws when the viscosity coefficients are non linear. In this article, we assume that the viscosity matrix $B(u)$ is commutating with the…

In the first part we present a generalized implicit function theorem for abstract equations of the type $F(\lambda,u)=0$. We suppose that $u_0$ is a solution for $\lambda=0$ and that $F(\lambda,\cdot)$ is smooth for all $\lambda$, but,…
