In this note we study the Dirichlet problem associated with a version of prime end boundary of a bounded domain in a complete metric measure space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a Poincare inequality. We show the resolutivity…

In this paper we survey some results on the Dirichlet problem \[\left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} L u &=&f&\textrm{in }\Omega \\ u&=&g&\textrm{in }\mathbb R^n\backslash\Omega \end{array}\right.\] for nonlocal operators of the form…

Here we study the Dirichlet problem for first order linear and quasi-linear hyperbolic PDEs on a simply connected bounded domain of $\R^2$, where the domain has an interior outflow set and a mere inflow boundary. By means of a Lyapunov…

We study eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\RR^n$ with piecewise smooth boundary. We bound the distance between an arbitrary parameter $E > 0$ and the spectrum $\{E_j \}$ in terms of…

The goal of this paper is to study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of bounded domains $\Omega\subset \Omega'$. With a local spectral stability requirement on $\Omega$, we show that the difference of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of $\Omega'$ and…

We consider a family of self-adjoint Ornstein--Uhlenbeck operators $L_{\alpha} $ in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H having the same gaussian invariant measure $\mu$ for all $\alpha \in [0,1]$. We study the Dirichlet problem for the…

We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\O$ in the Euclidean space $\R^d$ for which the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on $\Omega$ admits sign-changing eigenfunctions with constant Neumann values on $\partial…

We consider second-order uniformly elliptic operators subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such operators are considered on a bounded domain $\Omega$ and on the domain $\phi(\Omega)$ resulting from $\Omega$ by means of a bi-Lipschitz…

We study boundary value problems for bounded uniform domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with non-Lipschitz (and possibly fractal) boundaries. We prove Poincar\'e inequalities with trace terms and uniform constants for uniform…

We study the boundary regularity of solutions to the porous medium equation $u_t = \Delta u^m$ in the degenerate range $m>1$. In particular, we show that in cylinders the Dirichlet problem with positive continuous boundary data on the…

Using three different notions of generalized principal eigenvalue of linear second order elliptic operators in unbounded domains, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the maximum principle, as well as for the…

We consider Laplacian eigenfunctions on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Under Neumann boundary conditions, the first eigenfunction is constant and the others have mean value 0. The situation is different for Dirichlet boundary…
