Some overdetermined problems related to the anisotropic capacity
Abstract We characterize the Wulff shape of an anisotropic norm in terms of solutions to overdetermined problems for the Finsler p-capacity of a convex set Ω ⊂ R N , with 1 p N . In particular we show that if the Finsler p-capacitary potential u associated to Ω has two homothetic level sets then Ω is Wulff shape. Moreover, we show that the concavity exponent of u is q = − ( p − 1 ) / ( N − p ) if and only if Ω is Wulff shape.
Wulff shape characterizations in overdetermined anisotropic elliptic problems
We study some overdetermined problems for possibly anisotropic degenerate elliptic PDEs, including the well-known Serrin's overdetermined problem, and we prove the corresponding Wulff shape characterizations by using some integral identities and just one pointwise inequality. Our techniques provide a somehow unified approach to this variety of problems.
An overdetermined problem for the anisotropic capacity
We consider an overdetermined problem for the Finsler Laplacian in the exterior of a convex domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\), establishing a symmetry result for the anisotropic capacitary potential. Our result extends the one of Reichel (Arch Ration Mech Anal 137(4):381–394, 1997), where the usual Newtonian capacity is considered, giving rise to an overdetermined problem for the standard Laplace equation. Here, we replace the usual Euclidean norm of the gradient with an arbitrary norm H. The resulting symmetry of the solution is that of the so-called Wulff shape (a ball in the dual norm \(H_0\)).
A note on an overdetermined problem for the capacitary potential
We consider an overdetermined problem arising in potential theory for the capacitary potential and we prove a radial symmetry result.
