Given an open bounded subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex and satisfies an interior sphere condition, we consider the pde $-\Delta_{\infty} u = 1$ in $\Omega$, subject to the homogeneous boundary condition $u = 0$ on…

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…

We consider two eliiptic overdetermined boundary value problems. There are variants on J. Serrin's 1971 classical results and having the same conclusion that the domains should be forcibly Euclidean balls.

We study an overdetermined elliptic free boundary problem for exterior domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \ge 2$, introduced by F. Morabito [Comm. PDE 46 (2021), 1137-1161]. The overdetermining condition prescribes the Neumann data as a multiple…

We consider a partially overdetermined problem in a sector-like domain $\Omega$ in a cone $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, and prove a rigidity result of Serrin type by showing that the existence of a solution implies that $\Omega$ is…

We exhibit several counterexamples showing that the famous Serrin's symmetry result for semilinear elliptic overdetermined problems may not hold for partially overdetermined problems, that is when both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…

A celebrated theorem of Serrin asserts that one overdetermined condition on the boundary is enough to obtain radial symmetry in the so-called one-phase overdetermined torsion problem. It is also known that imposing just one overdetermined…

In this paper, we prove that a domain which verifies some integral inequality is either (strictly) contained in the solution of some free boundary problem, or it coincides with an $N$-ball. We also present new overdetermined value problems…

Let $N\geq 1$ and $s\in (0,1)$. In the present work we characterize bounded open sets $\Omega$ with $ C^2$ boundary (\textit{not necessarily connected}) for which the following overdetermined problem \begin{equation*} ( -\Delta)^s u = f(u)…

We develop a sharp boundary trace theory in arbitrary bounded Lipschitz domains which, in contrast to classical results, allows "forbidden" endpoints and permits the consideration of functions exhibiting very limited regularity. This is…
