We introduce a new geometric invariant called the obtuse constant of spaces with curvature bounded below. We first find relations between this invariant and the normalized volume. We also discuss the case of maximal obtuse constant equal to…

We investigate the problem $$-\Delta u = \lambda b(x)|u|^{q-2}u +a(x)|u|^{p-2}u \mbox{ in } \Omega, \quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial \mathbf{n}} = 0 \mbox{ on } \partial \Omega, \leqno{(P_\lambda)} $$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth…

We consider the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ on convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions $u =0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Our main concern is the behavior of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}}$, also known as…

The Trudinger-Moser inequality states that for functions $u \in H_0^{1,n}(\Omega)$ ($\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ a bounded domain) with $\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^ndx \le 1$ one has $\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n|u|^{\frac n{n-1}}}-1)dx \le c…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded, convex domain and let $u$ be the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. The estimate $$ \| \nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}(\Omega)} \leq c |\Omega|^{1/2}$$ is…

The classical Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci estimate for the Laplacian states $$ \max_{x \in \Omega}{ |u(x)|} \leq \max_{x \in \partial \Omega}{|u(x)|} + c_{s,n} \mbox{diam}(\Omega)^{2-\frac{n}{s}} \left\| \Delta u\right\|_{L^s(\Omega)}$$ where…

In a bounded domain $\Omega$, we consider a positive solution of the problem $\Delta u+f(u)=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a locally Lipschitz continuous function. Under sufficient conditions…

The goal of this note is to show that, also in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, with $\partial \Omega\in C^2$, any weak solution, $(u(x,t),p(x,t))$, of the Euler equations of ideal incompressible fluid in $\Omega\times (0,T)…

We obtain sharp lower bounds on the radii of inscribed balls for strictly convex isoperimetric domains lying in a 2-dimensional Alexandrov metric space of curvature bounded below. We also characterize the case when such bounds are attained.
