We consider stable solutions to the equation $ -\Delta_p u =f(u) $ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n $ for a $ C^1 $ nonlinearity $f$. Either in the radial case, or for some model nonlinearities $f$ in a general domain,…
In 1993 Foisy et al. proved that the optimal Euclidean planar double bubble---the least-perimeter way to enclose and separate two given areas---is three circular arcs meeting at 120 degrees. We consider the plane with density $r^p$, joining…
