In this work, we obtain an existence of nontrivial solutions to a minimization problem involving a fractional Hardy-Sobolev type inequality in the case of inner singularity. Precisely, for $\lambda>0$ we analyze the attainability of the…

We study positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem $-\Delta u = u^p$ in a uniformly convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb S^2$, $u= 0$ on $\partial\Omega.$ For $p=1$, we assume that the right-hand side is replaced by $\lambda_1 u$, where…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold and $\{u_h\}$ be a sequence of $L^2$-normalized Laplace eigenfunctions that has a localized defect measure $\mu$ in the sense that $ M \setminus \text{supp}(\pi_* \mu) \neq \emptyset$…

We consider a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 3$, and $h$ a continuous function on $\Omega$. Let $\Gamma$ be a closed curve contained in $\Omega$. We study existence of positive solutions $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ to the…

This paper investigates sloshing problems defined by $-\Delta u=0$ in $\Omega$, with mixed boundary conditions: $\partial_{\nu}u=\lambda u$ on $S$, and either $\partial_{\nu}u=0$ or $u=0$ on $W$. Here, $\Omega$ represents a smooth bounded…

We study (higher order) asymptotic behaviour near branch points of stationary $n$-dimensional two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ graphs in an open subset of ${\mathbb R}^{n+m}$. Specifically, if $M$ is the graph of a two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ function…

We consider periodic homogenization of boundary value problems for quasilinear second-order ODE systems in divergence form of the type $a(x,x/\varepsilon,u(x),u'(x))'= f(x,x/\varepsilon,u(x),u'(x))$ for $x \in [0,1]$. For small…
