A discrete-time overdetermined problem for the heat equation

Lorenzo Cavallina, Andrea Pinamonti

In this paper, we consider a parabolic counterpart of Serrin's overdetermined problem, in which the overdetermined condition (constant flux condition) is imposed only on a discrete…

A miscellanea of qualitative and symmetry properties of the solutions to the two-phase Serrin's problem

Lorenzo Cavallina

This paper investigates the solutions to the two-phase Serrin's problem, an overdetermined boundary value problem motivated by shape optimization. Specifically, we study the torsio…

Visualizing Shape Functionals via Sinkhorn Multidimensional Scaling

Toshiaki Yachimura, Jun Okamoto, Lorenzo Cavallina

In this paper, we present Sinkhorn multidimensional scaling (Sinkhorn MDS) as a method for visualizing shape functionals in shape spaces. This approach uses the Sinkhorn divergence…

Two extremum problems for Neumann eigenvalues

Lorenzo Cavallina, Kei Funano, Antoine Henrot +3

Neumann eigenvalues being non-decreasing with respect to domain inclusion, it makes sense to study the two shape optimization problems $\min\{μ_k(Ω):Ω\mbox{ convex},Ω\subset D, \}$…

Face 2-phase: how much overdetermination is enough to get symmetry in two-phase problems

Lorenzo Cavallina, Giorgio Poggesi

We provide a full characterization of multi-phase problems under a large class of overdetermined Serrin-type conditions. Our analysis includes both symmetry and asymmetry (includin…

Pythagorean Theorem, Law of Sines and Law of Cosines: alternative proofs via shape derivatives

Lorenzo Cavallina

We provide an alternative unified approach for proving the Pythagorean theorem (in dimension and higher), the law of sines and the law of cosines, based on the concept of shape…

Symmetry and asymmetry in a multi-phase overdetermined problem

Lorenzo Cavallina

A celebrated theorem of Serrin asserts that one overdetermined condition on the boundary is enough to obtain radial symmetry in the so-called one-phase overdetermined torsion probl…

Why are the solutions to overdetermined problems usually "as symmetric as possible"?

Lorenzo Cavallina

In this paper, we study the symmetry properties of nondegenerate critical points of shape functionals using the implicit function theorem. We show that, if a shape functional is in…
