Let $\Gamma$ be a compact codimension-two submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $L$ be a nontrivial real line bundle over $X = \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Gamma$. We study the Allen--Cahn functional, \[E_\varepsilon(u) = \int_X \varepsilon…
We study solutions of $\Delta u - F'(u)=0$, where the potential $F$ can have an arbitrary number of wells at arbitrary heights, including bottomless wells with subcritical decay. In our setting, ground state solutions correspond to unstable…
Solving the Plateau problem means to find the surface with minimal area among all surfaces with a given boundary. Part of the problem actually consists of giving a suitable definition to the notions of 'surface', 'area' and 'boundary'. The…
We will prove that solutions of the Allen-Cahn equations that satisfy the equipartition can be transformed into solutions of the Euler equations with constant pressure. As a consequence, we obtain De Giorgi type results, that is, the level…
The $P_1$--nonconforming quadrilateral finite element space with periodic boundary condition is investigated. The dimension and basis for the space are characterized with the concept of minimally essential discrete boundary conditions. We…
For $n\geq2,$ we obtain Liouville type theorems for minimal surface equations in half space $\mathbf R^n_+$ with affine Dirichlet boundary value or constant Neumann boundary value.
We consider a class of semilinear elliptic system of the form $-\Delta u(x,y)+\nabla W(u(x,y))=0,\quad (x,y)\in\R^{2}$ where $W:\R^{2}\to\R$ is a double well non negative symmetric potential. We show, via variational methods, that if the…
In this paper we consider semilinear equations $-\Delta u=f(u)$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on certain convex domains of the two dimensional model spaces of constant curvature. We prove that a positive, semi-stable solution $u$ has…
In this work we shall show that the Cauchy problem \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &(u_t+u^pu_x+\mathcal H\partial_x^2u+ \alpha\mathcal H\partial_y^2u )_x - \gamma u_{yy}=0 \quad p\in{\nat} &u(0;x,y)=\phi{(x,y)} \end{aligned}…
We show that the bounded solutions to the fractional Helmholtz equation, $(-\Delta)^s u= u$ for $0<s<1$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, are given by the bounded solutions to the classical Helmholtz equation $(-\Delta)u= u$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \ge…
We establish a half-space theorem \`a la Hoffman and Meeks for nonlocal minimal surfaces. Differently from the classical case, our result holds in every dimension.
In this paper we discuss nondegeneracy and stability properties of some special minimal hypersurfaces which are asymptotic to a given Lawson cone $C_{m,n}$, for $m,\,n\ge 2$. Then we use such hypersurfaces to construct solutions to the…
We derive explicit formulae for a set of constraints for the Einstein equations on a null hypersurface, in arbitrary dimensions. We solve these constraints and show that they provide necessary and sufficient conditions so that a spacetime…
We study entire minimizers of the Allen-Cahn systems. The specific feature of our systems are potentials having a finite number of global minima, with sub-quadratic behaviour locally near their minima. The corresponding formal…
A parabolic partial differential equation $u'_t(t,x)=Lu(t,x)$ is considered, where $L$ is a linear second-order differential operator with time-independent coefficients, which may depend on $x$. We assume that the spatial coordinate $x$…
We study steady solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation with hard-sphere interactions in a slab geometry. Under a spatial symmetry assumption in the transverse variables $x_2$ and $x_3$, the problem reduces to a one-dimensional…

We consider the stationary semilinear Schr\"odinger equation $-\Delta u + a(x) u = f(x,u)$, $u\in H^1(\R^N)$, where $a$ and $f$ are continuous functions converging to some limits $a_\infty>0$ and $f_\infty=f_\infty(u)$ as $|x|\to\infty$. In…
We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
