We consider the parabolic one-dimensional Allen-Cahn equation $$u_t= u_{xx}+ u(1-u^2)\quad (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}\times (-\infty, 0].$$ The steady state $w(x) =\tanh (x/\sqrt{2})$, connects, as a "transition layer" the stable phases $-1$ and…

We consider the "thin one-phase" free boundary problem, associated to minimizing a weighted Dirichlet energy of the function in $\mathbb R^{n+1}_+$ plus the area of the positivity set of that function in $\mathbb R^n$. We establish full…

We study entire minimizers of the Allen-Cahn systems. The specific feature of our systems are potentials having a finite number of global minima, with sub-quadratic behaviour locally near their minima. The corresponding formal…

In this paper, we study the boundary value problem of the classical semilinear parabolic equations $$ u_t-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u, \ \ in \ \ \Omega\times (0,T) $$ and $u=0$ on the boundary $\partial\Omega\times [0,T)$ and $u=\phi$ at $t=0$,…

This paper develops semiparametric theory for counterfactual distribution, quantile, and lower-tail risk processes under unmeasured confounding using proximal negative-control proxies. Rather than treating each threshold as a separate…

Motivated by its relation to models of flame propagation, we study globally Lipschitz solutions of $\Delta u=f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $f$ is smooth, non-negative, with support in the interval $[0,1]$. In such setting, any "blow-down"…

We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…

In this paper we establish a uniform $C^{2,\theta}$ estimate for level sets of stable solutions to the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn equation in dimensions $ n\leq 10$ (which is optimal). The proof combines two ingredients: one is the…
