In this article, we study the asymptotics of harmonic functions. A typical method is by proving monotonicity formulas of a version of rescaled Dirichlet energy, and use it to study the renormalized solution -- the Almgren's blowup. However,…
It is known that the $L^{2}$-norms of a harmonic function over spheres satisfies some convexity inequality strongly linked to the Almgren's frequency function. We examine the $L^{2}$-norms of harmonic functions over a wide class of evolving…
We continue the program initiated in \cite{SVGS}. In this paper, we focus on the infinite $d-$regular tree, and prove the monotonicity of a weighted Dirichlet energy, a Weiss-type monotonicity formula, and a generalization of the Almgren…
This paper is dedicated to the unique continuation properties of the solutions to nonlinear variational problems. Our analysis covers the case of nonlinear autonomous functionals depending on the gradient, as well as more general double…
We introduce a new notion of Almgren's frequency which is adapted to solutions of a sub-Laplacian (harmonic functions) on a Carnot group of arbitrary step $\bG$. With this notion we investigate some new functionals associated with the…
We provide a sharp monotonicity theorem about the distribution of subharmonic functions on manifolds, which can be regarded as a new, measure theoretic form of the uncertainty principle. As an illustration of the scope of this result, we…
Given a complete doubling metric measure space $X$ that supports a $2$-Poincar\'e inequality, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain $\Omega$ with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Our approach is based on the…
This paper completes and partially improves some of the results of [arXiv:0809.5002] about the asymptotic behavior of solutions of linear and nonlinear elliptic equations with singular coefficients via an Almgren type monotonicity formula
This paper deals with solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the type \[ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = f(|x|, u) \qquad & \text{ in } \Omega, \\ u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. \] where $\Omega$ is a…
In this work we develop an Almgren type monotonicity formula for a class of elliptic equations in a domain with a crack, in the presence of potentials satisfying either a negligibility condition with respect to the inverse-square weight or…
A direct analog of Hadamard's three-circle theorem is obtained for harmonic functions (in weighted L^2-norm) in case of (n-1)-dimensional non-concentric spheres in R^n. The result extends the concentric case to correlated non-concentric,…
In this paper, we first prove monotonicity of a generalized para bolic frequency on weighted closed Riemannian manifolds for some linear heat equation. Secondly, a certain generalized parabolic frequency functional is defined with respect…
We establish the strong unique continuation property of fractional orders of linear elliptic equations with Lipschitz coefficients by establishing monotonicity of some Almgren-type frequency functional via an extension procedure.
We consider a two-valued function $u$ that is either Dirichlet energy minimizing, $C^{1,\mu}$ harmonic, or in $C^{1,\mu}$ with an area-stationary graph such that Almgren's frequency (restricted to the singular set) is continuous at a…
We prove three theorems about the asymptotic behavior of solutions $u$ to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation at boundary points with tangent cones. First, under very mild hypotheses, we show that the doubling index…
We consider the Landau-Lifshitz equations of ferromagnetism (including the harmonic map heat-flow and Schroedinger flow as special cases) for degree m equivariant maps from R^2 to S^2. If m \geq 3, we prove that near-minimal energy…
For stationary two-valued harmonic functions with H\"older regularity, we establish their Lipschitz regularity and prove that the nodal set consists of analytic hypersurfaces away from a singular set. The main tools are the Almgren…
In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…
We study the map from conductances to edge energies for harmonic functions on finite graphs with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove that for any compatible acyclic orientation and choice of energies there is a unique choice of…
We consider half-harmonic maps from $\mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{S}$) to $\mathbb{S}$. We prove that all (finite energy) half-harmonic maps are non-degenerate. In other words, they are integrable critical points of the energy functional. A…
