We consider the domain dependence of the best constant in the subcritical fractional Sobolev constant, $$ \lambda_{s,p}(\Omega):=\inf \left\{ [u]_{H^s(\mathbb{R}^N)}^2,\,\, u\in C^\infty_c(\Omega),\,\, \|u\|_{L^p(\Omega)}=1 \right\}, $$…

In this paper we aim at characterizing the gauge balls in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ as the only domains where suitable overdetermined problems of Serrin type can be solved. We discuss a one parameter family of overdetermined…
We investigate symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem related to the fractional torsion equation in a regular open, bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, we show that if…
Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a…
We consider a variant of the classic Steklov eigenvalue problem, which arises in the study of the best trace constant for functions in Sobolev space. We prove that the elementary symmetric functions of the eigenvalues depend…
We carry on the investigation started in [2] about the regularity of weak solutions to the strongly degenerate parabolic equation \[ u_{t}-\mathrm{div}\left[(\vert Du\vert-1)_{+}^{p-1}\frac{Du}{\vert…
It is known that the torsional rigidity for a punctured ball, with the puncture having the shape of a ball, is minimum when the balls are concentric and the first eigenvalue for the Dirichlet Laplacian for such domains is also a maximum in…
We study the second-order quasi-linear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) defined on $C^1$ domains. The coefficients are random functions depending on $t,x$ and the unknown solutions. We prove the uniqueness and existence of…
In this paper we investigate continuity properties of first and second order shape derivatives of functionals depending on second order elliptic PDE's around nonsmooth domains, essentially either Lipschitz or convex, or satisfying a uniform…
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 $\Delta u + f(u) =…
In this paper we prove that solutions to several shape optimization problems in the plane, with a convexity constraint on the admissible domains, are polygons. The main terms of the shape functionals we consider are either E f ($\Omega$),…
We study a class of degenerate hyperbolic equations in a bounded domain whose degeneracy occurs at a boundary point. We first develop the weighted functional framework, prove well-posedness of the degenerate problem, and establish…
We consider a one-Laplace equation perturbed by $p$-Laplacian with $1<p<\infty$. We prove that a weak solution is continuously differentiable ($C^{1}$) if it is convex. Note that similar result fails to hold for the unperturbed one-Laplace…
We construct a solution operator for $\overline{\partial}$ equation that gains $\frac{1}{2}$ derivative in the fractional Sobolev space $H^{s,p}$ on bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $C^2$ boundary, for all $1 < p…

In this paper, we study the symmetry properties of nondegenerate critical points of shape functionals using the implicit function theorem. We show that, if a shape functional is invariant with respect to some continuous group of rotations,…
This article introduces a novel method for the implementation of shape optimisation with Lipschitz domains. We propose to use the shape derivative to determine deformation fields which represent steepest descent directions of the shape…
We prove that for $p\ge 2$ solutions of equations modeled by the fractional $p$-Laplacian improve their regularity on the scale of fractional Sobolev spaces. Moreover, under certain precise conditions, they are in $W^{1,p}_{loc}$ and their…
