We study the regularity of solutions of elliptic second order boundary value problems on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb R^3$. The coefficients are not necessarily continuous and the boundary conditions may be mixed, i.e. Dirichlet on…

We study the critical Neumann problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |u|^{2^*-2}u &\text{in }\Sigma_\omega,\\ \quad\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}=0 &\text{on }\partial\Sigma_\omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} in the unbounded…

This paper is motivated by the maximization of the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions among domains of ${\mathbb R}^N$ with prescribed measure. We relax the problem to the class of (possibly…

We prove that in dimension $n \geq 2$, within the collection of unit measure cuboids in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. domains of the form $\prod_{i=1}^{n}(0, a_n)$), any sequence of minimising domains $R_k^\mathcal{D}$ for the Dirichlet eigenvalues…

This is a continuation of the paper 'Symmetry breaking and other phenomena in the optimization of eigenvalues for composite membranes' by S. Chanillo, D. Grieser, M. Imai, K. Kurata, and I. Ohnishi. Again, we consider the following…

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…

We prove existence and comparison results for multi-valued variational inequalities in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of the form \begin{equation*} u\in K\,:\, 0 \in Au+\partial I_K(u)+\mathcal{F}(u)+\mathcal{F}_\Gamma(u)\quad\text{in…
