Mean curvature properties for p -Laplace phase transitions

Berardino SciunziEnrico Valdinoci — 2005

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of p -Laplacian type and a double well potential h 0 with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of Δ p u = h 0 ' ( u ) possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.

Alessio Figalli's contributionsto nonlocal minimal surfaces

Serena DipierroEnrico Valdinoci — 2019

Matematica, Cultura e Società. Rivista dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Alessio has produced in his very intense career an extraordinary number of outstanding results in an impressive variety of topics. Among the multifold research lines in which he acted as a trailblazer, the one focused on nonlocal minimal surfaces offered an excellent opportunity for Alessio to pioneer some of the first settlements in a brand new subject of investigation and pave the way to a broad spectrum of future research.

Periodic orbits close to elliptic tori and applications to the three-body problem

Massimiliano BertiLuca BiascoEnrico Valdinoci — 2004

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy “twist” conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic invariant tori (of hamiltonian systems). We prove the applicability of this result to the spatial planetary three-body problem in the small eccentricity-inclination regime. Furthermore, we find other periodic orbits under some restrictions on the period and the masses...

Bernstein and De Giorgi type problems: new results via a geometric approach

Alberto FarinaBerardino SciunziEnrico Valdinoci — 2008

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We use a Poincaré type formula and level set analysis to detect one-dimensional symmetry of stable solutions of possibly degenerate or singular elliptic equations of the form div a ( | u ( x ) | ) u ( x ) + f ( u ( x ) ) = 0 . Our setting is very general and, as particular cases, we obtain new proofs of a conjecture of De Giorgi for phase transitions in  2 and  3 and of the Bernstein problem on the flatness of minimal area graphs in  3 . A one-dimensional symmetry result in the half-space is also obtained as a byproduct of our...
