For $\Omega$ varying among open bounded sets in ${\mathbb R} ^n$, we consider shape functionals $J (\Omega)$ defined as the infimum over a Sobolev space of an integral energy of the kind $\int _\Omega[ f (\nabla u) + g (u) ]$, under…

We define fractional derivatives $\pppa$ in Sobolev spaces based on $L^p(0,T)$ by an operator theory, and characterize the domain of $\pppa$ in subspaces of the Sobolev-Slobodecki spaces $W^{\alpha,p}(0,T)$. Moreover we define $\pppa u$ for…

The classical Serrin's overdetermined theorem states that a $C^2$ bounded domain, which admits a function with constant Laplacian that satisfies both constant Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, must necessarily be a ball. While…

Let $N\geq 1$ and $s\in (0,1)$. In the present work we characterize bounded open sets $\Omega$ with $ C^2$ boundary (\textit{not necessarily connected}) for which the following overdetermined problem \begin{equation*} ( -\Delta)^s u = f(u)…

We consider the $p$-Laplacian equation $-\Delta_p u=1$ for $1<p<2$, on a regular bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$, with $N\ge2$, under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the spirit of Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem and…

In this paper we prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish…

This paper investigates the geometric constraints imposed on a domain by overdetermined problems for partial differential equations. Serrin's symmetry results are extended to overdetermined problems with potentially degenerate ellipticity…

In this paper, we consider the overdetermined problem for fully non linear singular or degenerate elliptic operators in bounded smooth domains with both Dirichlet and Neumann condition, as in the classical result of Serrin we prove that the…

We prove the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of least-energy solutions of a fractional Dirichlet semilinear problem in sufficiently large balls and in more general symmetric domains. Our proofs rely on uniform estimates on growing domains, on…

We give a complete characterization, as "stadium-like domains", of convex subsets $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ where a solution exists to Serrin-type overdetermined boundary value problems in which the operator is either the infinity…

In this paper, we describe the structure of shape derivatives around sets which are only assumed to be of finite perimeter in $\R^N$. This structure allows us to define a useful notion of positivity of the shape derivative and we show it…

In this paper we revisit the classical Cauchy problem for Laplace's equation as well as two further related problems in the light of regularisation of this highly ill-conditioned problem by replacing integer derivatives with fractional…
