We construct a bounded $C^{1}$ domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ for which the $H^{3/2}$ regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists $f$ in $C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega)$ such that…

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 the equation $-\epsilon^{2}\Delta u + u = u^ {p}$ in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\R^{3}$ with edges. We impose Neumann boundary conditions, assuming $1<p<5$, and prove concentration of solutions at suitable points of…

This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1--Laplacian operator $\Delta_1 u$ and having a singular term of the type $\frac{f(x)}{u^\gamma}$. Here $f\in L^N(\Omega)$ is nonnegative, $0<\gamma\le1$ and…

In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…

We prove new one-dimensional symmetry results for non-negative solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $ -\Delta u= f(u)$ in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$. Some Liouville-type theorems are also proven in the…

We prove a half-space Bernstein theorem for Allen-Cahn equation. More precisely, we show that every solution $u$ of the Allen-Cahn equation in the half-space $\overline{\mathbb{R}^n_+}:=\{(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n:\,x_1\geq 0\}$…
