We show that a wide range of overdetermined boundary problems for semilinear equations with position-dependent nonlinearities admits nontrivial solutions. The result holds true both on the Euclidean space and on compact Riemannian…
In this paper, we prove that a domain which verifies some integral inequality is either (strictly) contained in the solution of some free boundary problem, or it coincides with an $N$-ball. We also present new overdetermined value problems…
We consider an overdetermined problem arising in potential theory for the capacitary potential and we prove a radial symmetry result.
We consider the semilinear elliptic boundary value problem \[ -\Delta u=\left\vert u\right\vert ^{p-2}u\text{ in }\Omega,\text{\quad }u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ for supercritical…
We are concerned with solvability of the boundary value problem $$-\left[ \phi(u^{\prime}) \right] ^{\prime}=\nabla_u F(t,u), \quad \left ( \phi \left( u^{\prime }\right)(0), -\phi \left( u^{\prime }\right)(T)\right )\in \partial j(u(0),…
In classical potential theory, one can solve the Dirichlet problem on unbounded domains such as the upper half plane. These domains have two types of boundary points; the usual finite boundary points and another point at infinity. W. Woess…
It is considered a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with a potential that may vanish at infinity and a nonlinear term with subcritical growth. A positive solution is proved to exist depending on the…
The third named author has been developing a theory of "higher" symplectic capacities. These capacities are invariant under taking products, and so are well-suited for studying the stabilized embedding problem. The aim of this note is to…
The present paper provides symmetry results for a class of overdetermined problems of elliptic and parabolic type in multi-phase settings, including various extensions of remarkable results obtained by S. Sakaguchi in [12, 13]. A new…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, $N \geq 2$, be a smooth bounded domain. We consider a boundary value problem of the form $$-\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…
In 1966, Jenkins and Serrin gave existence and uniqueness results for infinite boundary value problems of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space, and after that such solutions have been studied by using the univalent harmonic mapping…
In this note we discuss an abstract framework for standard boundary value problems in divergence form with maximal monotone relations as "coefficients". A reformulation of the respective problems is constructed such that they turn out to be…
Our work proposes a unified approach to three different topics in a general Riemannian setting: splitting theorems, symmetry results and overdetermined elliptic problems. By the existence of a stable solution to the semilinear equation…
We develop an elliptic theory based in $L^2$ of boundary value problems for general wedge differential operators of first order under only mild assumptions on the boundary spectrum. In particular, we do not require the indicial roots to be…
We study overdetermined problems for fully nonlinear elliptic equations in subdomains $\O$ of the Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^{N}$ and the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{N}$. We prove, the existence of a classical solution to the underlined…
We construct nontrivial unbounded domains $\Omega$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^N$, $N \in \{2,3,4\}$, bifurcating from the complement of a ball, such that the overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation} -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N}…

We study a semilinear elliptic equation with a pure power nonlinearity with exponent $p>1$, and provide sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions. These conditions involve expected exit times from the domain, $D$, where…
