In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary‎. ‎We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...

In this paper, we propose a numerical method for verifying the positiveness of solutions to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems. We provide a sufficient condition for a solution to an elliptic problem to be positive in the domain of the problem, which can be checked numerically without requiring a complicated computation. Although we focus on the homogeneous Dirichlet case in this paper...

This paper investigates stability properties of affine optimal control problems constrained by semilinear elliptic partial differential equations. is done studying the so called metric subregularity set-valued mapping associated with system first order necessary optimality conditions. Preliminary results concerning differentiability functions involved are established, especially so-called switc...
