Abstract

Let $n\ge2$ and let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be an arbitrary bounded open convex set. The author prove that, for $p>n$, the Dirichlet problem \[ \det D^2u=(-u)^p\quad\text{in }\Omega, \qquad u=0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \qquad u>0\quad\text{in }\Omega \] has at most one convex Alexandrov solution. The proof is based on the affine behavior of the Monge--Amp\`ere energy and on a power-concavity property of the $L^{p+1}$ mass along the Legendre path connecting two solutions. At the homogeneous exponent $p=n$, the same argument shows that any two nonzero solutions with the same coefficient are positive multiples of one another.

Positive and nodal solutions for the Minkowski mean curvature equation: multiplicity and asymptotics

We consider the Dirichlet problem for the mean curvature operator in Minkowski space, \[ -\operatorname{div}\left(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1-|\nabla u|^2}}\right) = \lambda u + \mu h(x,u) \quad \text{in } \Omega, \qquad u = 0 \quad \text{on } \partial\Omega, \] in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, where $\la...

Many-point tropical relaxation and the Monge--Amp\`ere equation

We prove a quantitative tropical approximation to the planar Aleksandrov Monge--Amp\`ere equation. Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ be a bounded open convex domain, fix $K\Subset\Omega$, and let $F_N=G_{P_N}(0_\Omega)$ be the minimal nonnegative concave tropical series with integral slopes, zero boundary values, and corn...

A sharp isoperimetric inequality for the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator in every dimension

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge2$, be a bounded connected domain with boundary of class $C^{1,\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1$. For the adjoint Neumann--Poincar\'e operator $K^*_{\partial\Omega}$, normalised so that its distinguished eigenvalue is $1/2$, let $\lambda_j^+(\Omega)$ denote the upper min--max values on...

Liouville-type theorems for coupled-drift Monge-Amp\`ere equations

In this paper, we study entire solutions and periodic correctors for the coupled-drift Monge-Amp\`ere equation \[ \det D^2u = \exp\{-a\cdot Du+b\cdot x+V(x)-c_0\}, \quad D^2u>0. \] For $V\equiv0$, we obtain a sharp classification of the whole-space solvability regimes: all entire smooth strictly convex solutions are qu...

Uniqueness and boundary behaviour of solutions to variational problems with linear growth

We investigate the Dirichlet problem for the variational integral $J[u] = \int_{\Omega} f(\nabla u) \, dx$ with density $f$ of linear growth satisfying appropriate ellipticity conditions. We show that the relaxed problem admits a unique solution $u$ in the space of functions of bounded variation, if the set $\Gamma_0$...
