Concavity Properties for Free Boundary Elliptic Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove some concavity properties connected to nonlinear Bernoulli type free boundary problems. In particular, we prove a Brunn-Minkowski inequality and an Urysohn’s type inequality for the Bernoulli Constant and we study the behaviour of the free boundary with respect to the given boundary data. Moreover we prove a uniqueness result regarding the interior non-linear Bernoulli problem.

A two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
متن کاملQuasi-concavity for Semilinear Elliptic Equations with Non-monotone and Anisotropic Nonlinearities
An interesting field of modern mathematical research is the study of geometric properties of solutions to elliptic problems. Remarkably, this is often done without any explicit representation of the solution. This paper concentrates on the problem of convexity of level sets for solutions to some elliptic semilinear boundary-value problems in convex rings.More precisely, letΩ0,Ω1 be convex, boun...
متن کاملAnalytic solutions for the Stephen's inverse problem with local boundary conditions including Elliptic and hyperbolic equations
In this paper, two inverse problems of Stephen kind with local (Dirichlet) boundary conditions are investigated. In the first problem only a part of boundary is unknown and in the second problem, the whole of boundary is unknown. For the both of problems, at first, analytic expressions for unknown boundary are presented, then by using these analytic expressions for unknown boundaries and bounda...
متن کاملFree and constrained equilibrium states in a variational problem on a surface
We study the equilibrium states for an energy functional with a parametric force field on a region of a surface. Consideration of free equilibrium states is based on Lyusternik - Schnirelman's and Skrypnik's variational methods. Consideration of equilibrium states under a constraint of geometrical character is based on an analog of Skrypnik's method, described in [P. Vyridis, {it Bifurcation in...
متن کاملON THE REGULARITY OF THE FREE BOUNDARY IN THE p-LAPLACIAN OBSTACLE PROBLEM
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the obstacle for the p-Laplacian, min { −∆pu, u − φ } = 0 in Ω ⊂ R. Here, ∆pu = div ( |∇u|p−2∇u ) , and p ∈ (1, 2) ∪ (2,∞). Near those free boundary points where ∇φ 6= 0, the operator ∆p is uniformly elliptic and smooth, and hence the free boundary is well understood. However, when ∇φ = 0 then ∆p is singular or degenerate, and nothing was known ab...
