We study the parabolic fractional $p-$Laplace equation $$\p_t u+(-\Delta_p)^su = 0$$ in the degenerate range \(2 \leq p < 2/(1-s)\). We show that weak solutions are Lipschitz continuous in space and, if \(p > 1/(1-s)\), also in time. We…

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…

We consider the following elliptic system with fractional laplacian $$ -(-\Delta)^su=uv^2,\ \ -(-\Delta)^sv=vu^2,\ \ u,v>0 \ \mbox{on}\ \R^n,$$ where $s\in(0,1)$ and $(-\Delta)^s$ is the $s$-Lapalcian. We first prove that all positive…
A classical result of Milman roughly states that every Lipschitz function on $\mathbb{S}^n$ is almost constant on a sufficiently high-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^m\subset \mathbb{S}^n$. In this paper we extend the result by proving that…
In this paper, we consider $\alpha$-harmonic functions in the half space $\mathbb{R}^n_+$: \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x)=0,~u(x)>0, & x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+, \\ u(x)\equiv 0, & x\notin \mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}.…
All beta-type functions, which are p-homogeneous, are determined. Applying this result, we show that a beta-type function is a homogeneous mean iff it is the harmonic one. A reformulation of a result due to Heuvers in terms of a Cauchy…
Uniqueness of positive solutions to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations of the form $-\Delta u(x) + \frac{1}{\gamma} |D{u}(x)|^\gamma = f(x) - \lambda$, with $f$ a coercive function and $\lambda$ a constant, in the subquadratic…
In this work, we deal with existence and uniqueness of positive solution $u_s$ for the singular quasilinear problem $(-\Delta_{\Phi})^su=u^{-\gamma}$ in the nonreflexive fractional Orlicz-Sobolev $ W^{s}_0L^{\Phi}(\Omega)$ for $0<s<1$.…
Given a smooth foliation by complex curves (locally around a point $x\in\mathbb{C}^2\setminus\{0\}$) which is "compatible" with the foliation by spheres centered at the origin, we construct a smooth real-valued function $g$ in a…
We consider, for $a,l\geq1,$ $b,s,\alpha>0,$ and $p>q\geq1,$ the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the equation $-\Delta_{p}u=\lambda u^{q-1}+\beta u^{a-1}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{b}+mu^{l-1}e^{\alpha u^{s}}$ in a smooth bounded…
An improvement of the Liouville theorem for discrete harmonic functions on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is obtained. More precisely, we prove that there exists a positive constant $\varepsilon$ such that if $u$ is discrete harmonic on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and…
This work is devoted to Lipschitz conditions on bounded harmonic functions on the upper half-space in $\mathbb {R}^n$. Among other results we prove the following one. Let $U(x',x_n)$ be a real-valued bounded harmonic function on the upper…
In this paper we study the following singular perturbation problem for the $p_\varepsilon(x)$-Laplacian: \[ \Delta_{p_\varepsilon(x)}u^\varepsilon:=\mbox{div}(|\nabla u^\varepsilon(x)|^{p_\varepsilon(x)-2}\nabla…
We consider weak distributional solutions to the equation $-\Delta_pu=f(u)$ in half-spaces under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We assume that the nonlinearity is positive and superlinear at zero. For $p>2$ (the case $1<p\leq2$ is…
We derive asymptotic estimates at infinity for positive harmonic functions in a large class of non-smooth unbounded domains. These include domains whose sections, after rescaling, resemble a Lipschitz cylinder or a Lipschitz cone, e.g.,…
We show that if $(u,K)$ is a global minimizer for the Mumford-Shah functional in $R^N$, and if K is a smooth enough cone, then (modulo constants) u is a homogenous function of degree 1/2. We deduce some applications in $R^3$ as for instance…
Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…
Assume that $f(s) = F'(s)$ where $F$ is a double-well potential. Under certain conditions on the Lipschitz constant of $f$ on $[-1,1]$, we prove that arbitrary bounded global solutions of the semilinear equation $\Delta u = f(u)$ on…
