Convex domains and unique continuation at the boundary.

Vilhelm Adolfsson, Luis Escauriaza, Carlos Kenig (1995)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Similarity:

We show that a harmonic function which vanishes continuously on an open set of the boundary of a convex domain cannot have a normal derivative which vanishes on a subset of positive surface measure. We also prove a similar result for caloric functions vanishing on the lateral boundary of a convex cylinder.

Bergman-Shilov boundary for subfamilies of q-plurisubharmonic functions

Thomas Patrick Pawlaschyk (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We introduce the notion of the Shilov boundary for some subfamilies of upper semicontinuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. It is by definition the smallest closed subset of the given space on which all functions of that subclass attain their maximum. For certain subfamilies with simple structure we show the existence and uniqueness of the Shilov boundary. We provide its relation to the set of peak points and establish Bishop-type theorems. As an application we obtain a generalization...

Free boundary regularity in Stefan type problems

Ioannis Athanasopoulos (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Regularity results of free boundaries for Stefan type problems are discussed. The influence that curvature may have on the behavior of the free boundary is studied and various open problems are also mentioned.
