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

Alberto Farina, Berardino Sciunzi, Enrico 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 analysis. Our approach...

Bernstein classes

N. Roytwarf, Yosef Yomdin (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

One of the classical Bernstein inequalities compares the maxima of a polynomial of a given degree on the interval [-1,1] and on the ellipse in the complex plane with the focuses -1, 1 and the semiaxes R . We prove a similar inequality for a branch of an algebraic function of a given degree on the maximal disk of its regularity, with the explicitly given constant, depending on the degree only. In particular, this improves a recent inequality of Fefferman and Narasimhan and answers one of their questions....

Best constants for metric space inversion inequalities

Stephen Buckley, Safia Hamza (2013)

Open Mathematics

For every metric space (X, d) and origin o ∈ X, we show the inequality I o(x, y) ≤ 2d o(x, y), where I o(x, y) = d(x, y)/d(x, o)d(y, o) is the metric space inversion semimetric, d o is a metric subordinate to I o, and x, y ∈ X o The constant 2 is best possible.

Big groups of automorphisms of some Klein surfaces.

Beata Mockiewicz (2002)

RACSAM

Sea Xp una superficie de Klein compacta con borde de gen algebraico p ≥ 2. Se sabe que si G es un grupo de automorfismos de Xp entonces |G| ≤ 12(p- 1). Se dice que G es un grupo grande de gen p si |G| > 4(p -1). En el presente artículo se halla una familia de enteros p para los que el único grupo grande de gen p son los grupos diédricos. Esto significa que, en términos del gen real introducido por C. L. May, para tales valores de p no existen grupos grandes de gen real p.
