This paper concerns rigidity results to Serrin's overdetermined problem in an epigraph $$ \{\begin{aligned} &\Delta u+ f(u)=0,\ \ \ {in}\ \Omega=\{(x^\prime,x_n): x_n>\varphi (x^\prime)\},\\ &u>0,\ \ \ {in}\ \Omega,\\ &u=0,\ \ \ {on}\…

For all $N \geq 9$, we find smooth entire epigraphs in $\R^N$, namely smooth domains of the form $\Omega : = \{x\in \R^N\ / \ x_N > F (x_1,\ldots, x_{N-1})\}$, which are not half-spaces and in which a problem of the form $\Delta u + f(u) =…

In a bounded domain $\Omega$, we consider a positive solution of the problem $\Delta u+f(u)=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a locally Lipschitz continuous function. Under sufficient conditions…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a Lipschitz domain. We prove that, $\Omega$ satisfies the following Serrin-type overdetermined system $$u \in W^{1,2}(\mathbb R^n), \quad u=0\ \text{ a.e. in }\mathbb R^n\setminus \Omega,\quad \Delta…

We consider the solution of the problem $$ -\Delta u=f(u) \ \mbox{ and } \ u>0 \ \ \mbox{ in } \ \Omega, \ \ u=0 \ \mbox{ on } \ \Gamma, $$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with boundary $\Gamma$ of class $C^{2,\tau}$,…

We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…

Let $f:[0,+\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a (locally) Lipschitz function and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ a $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain whose boundary is unbounded and connected. If there exists a positive bounded solution to the overdetermined…

Motivated by the Serrin problem, we study weak solutions of the generalised Alt-Caffarelli problem $-\Delta u = f$ in $\Omega$, $u = 0$ on $\partial\Omega$, $\partial_\nu u = Q$ on $\partial\Omega$. Our main result establishes that if…

We consider positive solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ on continuous epigraphs bounded from below. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove new monotonicity results for $u$, when…

In 1971 J. Serrin proved that, given a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ and $u$ a positive solution of the problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = f(u) &\mbox{in $\Omega$, } u =0 &\mbox{on…

We consider the solution of the torsion problem $-\Delta u=1$ in $\Omega$ and $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Serrin's celebrated symmetry theorem states that, if the normal derivative $u_\nu$ is constant on $\partial \Omega$, then $\Omega$…
