The asymptotic behavior of minimizers y ∈ R2N of the energy EN (y) = XN i=1XN j=i+1 V (...

On the dynamics of the heat equation with superlinear nonlinearity

We discuss the dynamical behavior of the semiflow associated to the nonlinear heat equation ut − ∆u = f(x, u) on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The nonlinearity f grows superline...

Travelling waves in spatially heterogeneous media

We consider travelling waves in spatially recurrent diffusive media, including the almost periodic and quasi-periodic ones as special cases. We first define the notion of travelling waves under such h...

The boundary behaviour of blow-up solutions related to state constrained problems

We study the asymptotic behaviour near the boundary of explosive solutions of a viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This model was introduced by J.M. Lasry and P.L. Lions from a state constrained proble...

Sulla classificazione delle soluzioni dell’equazione di Lane-Emden in domini non limitati

Lo scopo del seminario e di presentare alcuni recenti risultati riguardanti le soluzioni dell’equazione di Lane-Emden in domini non limitati dello spazio euclideo ad N dimensioni. In particolare, si p...

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...

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...

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...

Construction of a blow up solution for a supercritical nonlinear Schrodinger equation

I will consider the quintic two-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation iut + ∆u +...

New developments in the theory of self-dual partial differential equations

We introduce and analyse a general -and remarkably encompassing- concept of self (and antiself) dual partial differential equations. The class contains many of the basic families of linear and nonline...

Solitoni compatti del flusso di Ricci

Discuterò alcuni risultati e problemi aperti relativi alla classificazione dei solitoni compatti del flusso di Ricci. Questi sono una classe particolare di varieta riemanniane che generalizzano le var...
