We consider the class of semi-stable solutions to semilinear equations $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ of $R^n$ (with $\Omega$ convex in some results). This class includes all local minimizers, minimal, and extremal…

We present an algorithm to solve $- \lap u - f(x,u) = g$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain $\Omega$. The nonlinearities are non-resonant and have finite spectral interaction: no eigenvalue of $-\lap_D$ is an endpoint of…

We consider the equation $-\Delta u= |x|^{\alpha}|u|^{p-1}u$ for any $\alpha\geq 0$, either in $\mathbb R^2$ or in the unit ball $B$ of $\mathbb R^2$ centered at the origin with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We give a sharp…
We study the elliptic equation with a line Dirac delta function as the source term subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition in a two-dimensional domain. Such a line Dirac measure causes different types of solution singularities in the…
We consider the classical compressible Euler's Equations in three space dimensions with an arbitrary equation of state, and whose initial data corresponds to a constant state outside a sphere. Under suitable restriction on the size of the…

The boundary behaviour of solutions of stochastic PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions can be surprisingly - and in a sense, arbitrarily - bad: as shown by Krylov, for any $\alpha>0$ one can find a simple $1$-dimensional constant…
