Concavity properties of solutions to Robin problems

Analysis of PDEs 2020-06-15 v1

Abstract

We prove that the Robin ground state and the Robin torsion function are respectively log-concave and 12\frac{1}{2}-concave on an uniformly convex domain ΩRN\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N of class Cm\mathcal{C}^m, with [mN2]4[m -\frac{ N}{2}]\geq 4, provided the Robin parameter exceeds a critical threshold. Such threshold depends on NN, mm, and on the geometry of Ω\Omega, precisely on the diameter and on the boundary curvatures up to order mm.
