This paper considers overdetermined boundary problems. Firstly, we give a proof to the Payne-Schaefer conjecture about an overdetermined problem of sixth order in the two dimensional case and under an additional condition for the case of…

We consider an overdetermined problem arising in potential theory for the capacitary potential and we prove a radial symmetry result.

In this survey we consider the classical overdetermined problem which was studied by Serrin in 1971. The original proof relies on Alexandrov's moving plane method, maximum principles, and a refinement of Hopf's boundary point Lemma. Since…

In this paper, we consider the Hessian equations in some exterior domain with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity and Dirichlet-Neumann conditions on its interior boundary. We obtain that there exists a unique bounded domain such…

In this manuscript, we consider a control system governed by a general ordinary differential equation on a Riemannian manifold, with its endpoints satisfying some inequalities and equalities, and its control constrained to a closed convex…

We consider an overdetermined problem for a two phase elliptic operator in divergence form with piecewise constant coefficients. We look for domains such that the solution $u$ of a Dirichlet boundary value problem also satisfies the…

In this paper, we deal with the long standing open problem of characterising rotationally symmetric solutions to $\Delta u = -2$, when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on a ring-shaped planar domain. From a physical perspective,…

In this paper, we study a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in a half ball. We prove that a domain in which this partially overdetermined problem admits a solution if and only if the domain is a spherical cap…

We consider the classical "Serrin symmetry result" for the overdetermined boundary value problem related to the equation $\Delta u=-1$ in a model manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature. Using an extension of the Weinberger classical…

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) =…

We consider overdetermined problems of Serrin's type in convex cones for (possibly) degenerate operators in the Euclidean space as well as for a suitable generalization to space forms. We prove rigidity results by showing that the existence…

Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…

We investigate the overdetermined torsion problem $\begin{cases} -\Delta u = 1 & \text{in}\ \Omega\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=\text{const.} & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases}$ where $\Omega$…

This is my Ph.D. Thesis at Tohoku Univeristy (July 2018). It presents the theory on shape derivatives and focuses on its applications to two-phase optimization problems. In particular, we treat the two-phase torsion problem and a two-phase…

We consider non-chiral symmetry-protected topological phases of matter in two spatial dimensions protected by a discrete symmetry such as $\mathbb{Z}_K$ or $\mathbb Z_K \times \mathbb Z_K $ symmetry. We argue that modular…

In this paper we study an overdetermined problem which is directly related to the well known torsion problem studied by J. Serrin. A perturbed version of the latter is tackled by using asymptotic series as well as tools borrowed from the…

We consider the solution of the torsion problem $-\Delta u=1$ in $\Omega$ and $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Serrin's celebrated symmetry theorem states that, if the normal derivative $u_\nu$ is constant on $\partial \Omega$, then $\Omega$…

We establish a rigidity theorem for annular sector-like domains in the setting of overdetermined elliptic problems on model Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, if such a domain admits a solution to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation…

In this paper, we first prove a rigidity result for a Serrin-type partially overdetermined problem in the half-space, which gives a characterization of capillary spherical caps by the overdetermined problem. In the second part, we prove…

We study Serrin's overdetermined boundary value problem \begin{equation*} -\Delta_{S^N}\, u=1 \quad \text{ in $\Omega$},\qquad u=0, \; \partial_\eta u=\textrm{const} \quad \text{on $\partial \Omega$} \end{equation*} in subdomains $\Omega$…
