The De Giorgi Conjecture on Elliptic Regularization
نویسنده
چکیده
The statement of Conjecture 1.1 does not specify the convergence notion for u → u nor the solution notion for equation (1.1). We shall tacitly assume in the following that the convergence is (at least) almost everywhere in space and time, that convergence holds (at least) for subsequences, and that equation (1.1) will be solved (at least) in the distributional sense. Along with these provisions, the main result of the paper is the following.

On optimal regularity of free boundary problems and a conjecture of De Giorgi
We present a general theory to study optimal regularity for a large class of nonlinear elliptic systems satisfying general boundary conditions and in the presence of a geometric transmission condition on the free-boundary. As an application we give a full positive answer to a conjecture of De Giorgi on the analyticity of local minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional.
متن کاملEntire Solutions of Semilinear Elliptic Equations in R and a Conjecture of De Giorgi
This paper is concerned with the study of bounded solutions of semilinear elliptic equations ∆u − F ′(u) = 0 in the whole space R, under the assumption that u is monotone in one direction, say, ∂nu > 0 in R. The goal is to establish the one-dimensional character or symmetry of u, namely, that u only depends on one variable or, equivalently, that the level sets of u are hyperplanes. This type of...
متن کاملA Conjecture of De Giorgi on Symmetry for Elliptic Equations in R
In 1978 De Giorgi formulated the following conjecture. Let u be a solution of ∆u = u − u in all of R such that |u| ≤ 1 and ∂xnu > 0 in R. Is it true that all level sets {u = λ} of u are hyperplanes, at least if n ≤ 8? Equivalently, does u depend only on one variable? When n = 2, this conjecture was proved in 1997 by N. Ghoussoub and C. Gui. More recently, L. Ambrosio and the author have proved ...
متن کامل2 3 Ju l 2 00 7 Some connections between results and problems of De Giorgi , Moser and Bangert
Using theorems of Bangert, we prove a rigidity result which shows how a question raised by Bangert for elliptic integrands of Moser type is connected, in the case of minimal solutions without self-intersections, to a famous conjecture of De Giorgi for phase transitions.

In 1978 De Giorgi formulated the following conjecture. Let u be a solution of u = u 3 ? u in all of R n such that juj 1 and @ n u > 0 in R n. Is it true that all level sets fu = g of u are hyperplanes, at least if n 8 ? Equivalently, does u depend only on one variable? When n = 2, this conjecture was proved in 1997 by N. Ghoussoub and C. Gui. In the present paper we prove it for n = 3. The ques...
