The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…

In the unit ball B(0,1), let $u$ and $\Omega$ (a domain in $\R$) solve the following overdetermined problem: $$\Delta u =\chi_\Omega\quad \hbox{in} B(0,1), \qquad 0 \in \partial \Omega, \qquad u=|\nabla u |=0 \quad \hbox{in} B(0,1)\setminus…

We present a series of recent results on some new classes of free boundary problems. Differently from the classical literature, the problems considered have either a "nonlocal" feature (e.g., the interaction or/and the interfacial energy…

Existence and regularity of minimizers in elliptic free boundary problems have been extensively studied in the literature. The corresponding study of higher critical points was recently initiated in Jerison and Perera [30, 31]. In…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, $N \geq 2$, be a smooth bounded domain. We consider a boundary value problem of the form $$-\Delta u = c_{\lambda}(x) u + \mu(x) |\nabla u|^2 + h(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$$ where…

We investigate a variational problem in the Lorentz-Minkowski space $\l^3$ whose critical points are spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature and making constant contact angle with a given support surface along its common boundary.…

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\Omega}G(|\nabla u|)+\lambda \chi_{\{u>0\}} dx$ in the class of functions $W^{1,G}(\Omega)$ with $u-\phi_0\in W_0^{1,G}(\Omega)$, for a given $\phi_0\geq 0$ and bounded.…

We study the generalized boundary value problem for nonnegative solutions of of $-\Delta u+g(u)=0$ in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, when $g$ is continuous and nondecreasing. Using the harmonic measure of $\Omega$, we define a trace…

We study unknottedness for free boundary minimal surfaces in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary, and for self-shrinkers in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For doing…

In this article we study for the first time the regularity of the free boundary in the one-phase free boundary problem driven by a general nonlocal operator. Our main results establish that the free boundary is $C^{1,\alpha}$ near regular…

We consider a one-phase nonlocal free boundary problem obtained by the superposition of a fractional Dirichlet energy plus a nonlocal perimeter functional. We prove that the minimizers are H\"older continuous and the free boundary has…

Let $\Omega$ be an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $(n \geq 3)$ with $C^\infty$ boundary, and consider $L^2$-normalized eigenfunctions $ - \Delta \phi_{\lambda} = \lambda^2 \phi_\lambda$ with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary…

We consider triplets of densities $(u_1,u_2,u_3)$ minimizing the Dirichlet energy \[\sum_{j=1}^3 \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_j|^2\,dx \] over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, subject to the partial segregation condition: \[…

Even without a variational background, a multiplicity result of positive solutions with ordered $L^{p}(\Omega)$-norms is provided to the following boundary value problem \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{array}{ll}…

This work revolves around properties and applications of functions whose nonlocal gradient, or more precisely, finite-horizon fractional gradient, vanishes. Surprisingly, in contrast to the classical local theory, we show that this class…

We consider weak solutions $u \in u_0 + W^{1,2}_0(\Omega,R^N) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega,R^N)$ of second order nonlinear elliptic systems of the type $- div a (\cdot, u, Du) = b(\cdot,u,Du)$ in $\Omega$ with an inhomogeneity satisfying a…

We start the investigation of free boundary variational models featuring varying singularities. The theory depends strongly on the nature of the singular power $\gamma(x)$ and how it changes. Under a mild continuity assumption on…

We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first…
