Multiple solutions to semilinear elliptic problems via flow invariance and topological methods

I will discuss some recent results on the existence of multiple solutions to equations of the form −∆u = f(x, u), where the nonlinearity f has subcritical or critical growth. In some cases we find sig...

How the boundary conditions affect the attainability of the optimal constant of some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Some applications.

In this talk, will be presented some results on the optimal constants of Sobolev and Hardy-Sobolev inequalities with weights and their relation with the behavior of some mixed Dirichlet-Neumann bounda...

Smoothing problems for dispersive equations and global analysis of Fourier integrals

We will review smoothing problems for dispersive equations, in particular for the Schrodinger equation. We will relate these problems to the global analysis of certain Fourier integrals, spectral prob...

Comportamento asintotico dell’equazione di reazione-diffusione stocastica

Si considera l’equazione di reazione-diffusione con potenziale a due pozzi in un intervallo finito con termine forzante aleatorio. Si scelgono condizioni al bordo di Dirichlet non omogenee che impongo...

Noncompact optimal transport

The problem of Optimal Mass Transport, due to Monge,is to transfer a mass from one location to another trying to minimize a total cost. The case where the cost is the square of the distance on the Euc...

Existence and a priori estimate for elliptic problems with subquadratic gradient dependent terms

In this lecture I will consider the nonlinear elliptic model problem −div(A(x)∇u(x)) + cu(x) = γ...

Data assimilation problems: non standard approach and Tychonov regularisation revisited

Data assimilation problems consist in retrieving the value of the solution at some time (everywhere in the domain) for an evolution problem knowing informations on the solution on a subdomain during a...

Mathematical models for cell motion

Several transport-dffusion systems arise as simple models in chemotaxis (motion of bacterias or amebia interacting through a chemical signal) and in angiogenesis (development of capillary blood vessel...

Sul problema di Dirichlet per l’equazione della curvatura media

Si studia il problema di Dirichlet per l’equazione della curvatura media sul disco con dato al bordo gamma. Il problema è variazionale e caratterizzato da mancanza di compattezza. Se la curvatura medi...

A-priori bounds for semilinear elliptic equations in non-smooth domains

I will begin by giving a survey of some known methods for a-priori bounds of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations on smooth bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. I wi...

Un problema di rimozione di massa

Si considera il problema di rimuovere una fissata quantita di materiale da una regione D nella maniera piu efficiente possibile. Per tener conto del fatto che non tutte le direzioni si percorrono con ...

Degeneration of differential operators: an overview

I will discuss various modes of degeneration of differential operators and associated Lie algebras of vector fields and indicate a systematic approach to uniform invertibility under appropriate ellipt...
