Nonlinear balayage on metric spaces
2009
We develop a theory of balayage on complete doubling metric measure spaces supporting a Poincaré inequality. In particular, we are interested in continuity and p-harmonicity of the balayage. We also study connections to the obstacle problem. As applications, we characterize regular boundary points and polar sets in terms of balayage.

Sharp estimate on the inner distance in planar domains
2020
We show that the inner distance inside a bounded planar domain is at most the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the boundary of the domain. We prove this sharp result by establishing an improved Painlev\'e length estimate for connected sets and by using the metric removability of totally disconnected sets, proven by Kalmykov, Kovalev, and Rajala. We also give a totally disconnected example showing that for general sets the Painlev\'e length bound $\kappa(E) \le\pi \mathcal{H}^1(E)$ is sharp.
Sobolev homeomorphic extensions onto John domains
2020
Abstract Given the planar unit disk as the source and a Jordan domain as the target, we study the problem of extending a given boundary homeomorphism as a Sobolev homeomorphism. For general targets, this Sobolev variant of the classical Jordan-Schoenflies theorem may admit no solution - it is possible to have a boundary homeomorphism which admits a continuous W 1 , 2 -extension but not even a homeomorphic W 1 , 1 -extension. We prove that if the target is assumed to be a John disk, then any boundary homeomorphism from the unit circle admits a Sobolev homeomorphic extension for all exponents p 2 . John disks, being one sided quasidisks, are of fundamental importance in Geometric Function The…
Weighted Hardy inequalities beyond Lipschitz domains
2014
It is a well-known fact that in a Lipschitz domain \Omega\subset R^n a p-Hardy inequality, with weight d(x,\partial\Omega)^\beta, holds for all u\in C_0^\infty(\Omega) whenever \beta<p-1. We show that actually the same is true under the sole assumption that the boundary of the domain satisfies a uniform density condition with the exponent \lambda=n-1. Corresponding results also hold for smaller exponents, and, in fact, our methods work in general metric spaces satisfying standard structural assumptions.
Hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature over obstacles
1973
Let ~2 be a bounded domain in the euclidean space IR", n-> 2, with Lipschitz boundary ~ . We shall consider surfaces which are graphs of functions u defined on f2 having prescribed mean curvature H=H(x, u) with the side condition that they should be bounded from below by an obstacle ~b. The case H = 0 (minimal surfaces) has been discussed in detail by several authors, compare [6, 7, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24] of the references. Tomi [-31] has also investigated parametric surfaces with variable H. More general variational problems with obstructions have been discussed in [-9] and [-10]. During the session on "Variationsrechnung", held from June 18th to June 24th, 1972 in Oberwolfach, Mirand…
Existence of minimizers for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-Laplacian with a drift
2015
Abstract This paper deals with the eigenvalue problem for the operator L = − Δ − x ⋅ ∇ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in proving the existence of a set minimizing any eigenvalue λ k of L under a suitable measure constraint suggested by the structure of the operator. More precisely we prove that for any c > 0 and k ∈ N the following minimization problem min { λ k ( Ω ) : Ω quasi-open set , ∫ Ω e | x | 2 / 2 d x ≤ c } has a solution.
Existence and uniqueness for a degenerate parabolic equation with 𝐿¹-data

In this paper we study existence and uniqueness of solutions for the boundary-value problem, with initial datum in L 1 ( Ω ) L^{1}(\Omega ) , u t = d i v a ( x , D u ) in ( 0 , ∞ ) × Ω , \begin{equation*}u_{t} = \mathrm {div} \mathbf {a} (x,Du) \quad \text {in } (0, \infty ) \times \Omega , \end{equation*} − ∂ u ∂ η a ∈ β ( u ) on ( 0 , ∞ ) × ∂ Ω , \begin{equation*}-{\frac {{\partial u} }{{\partial \eta _{a}}}} \in \beta (u) \quad \text {on } (0, \infty ) \times \partial \Omega ,\end{equation*} u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) in Ω , \begin{equation*}u(x, 0) = u_{0}(x) \quad \text {in }\Omega ,\end{equation*} where a is a Carathéodory function satisfying the classical Leray-Lions hypothesis, ∂ / …
The asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the Cauchy problem generated by ϕ-accretive operators
2005
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of certain type of differential inclusions posed in Banach spaces. In particular, we obtain the abstract result on the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the boundary value problem { u t − Δ p ( u ) + | u | γ − 1 u = f on ] 0 , ∞ [ × Ω , − ∂ u ∂ η ∈ β ( u ) on [ 0 , ∞ [ × ∂ Ω , u ( 0 , x ) = u 0 ( x ) in Ω , where Ω is a bounded open domain in R n with smooth boundary ∂Ω, f ( t , x ) is a given L 1 -function on ] 0 , ∞ [ × Ω , γ ⩾ 1 and 1 ⩽ p ∞ . Δ p represents the p-Laplacian operator, ∂ ∂ η is the associated Neumann boundary operator and β a maximal monotone graph in R × R with 0 ∈ β ( 0 ) .

Fractional Laplacians in bounded domains: Killed, reflected, censored, and taboo Lévy flights.
2018
The fractional Laplacian $(- \Delta)^{\alpha /2}$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$ has many equivalent (albeit formally different) realizations as a nonlocal generator of a family of $\alpha $-stable stochastic processes in $R^n$. On the other hand, if the process is to be restricted to a bounded domain, there are many inequivalent proposals for what a boundary-data respecting fractional Laplacian should actually be. This ambiguity holds true not only for each specific choice of the process behavior at the boundary (like e.g. absorbtion, reflection, conditioning or boundary taboos), but extends as well to its particular technical implementation (Dirchlet, Neumann, etc. problems). The inferred jump-type …
