Our aim is to study how the energy of a solution behaves with respect to volume-preserving variations of the domain $\\Omega$ inside $\\mathcal C$. Once a rigorous variational approach to this question is set, we focus on the cases when $\\mathcal C$ is a cone or a cylinder and we consider spherical sectors and radial solutions or bounded cylinders and special one-dimensional solutions, respectively. In these cases, we show both stability and instability results, which have connections with related overdetermined problems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-14T13:49:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J61", "35B35", "35B38", "49Q10" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear elliptic problems", "energy stability", "special one-dimensional solutions", "solution behaves", "rigorous variational approach" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
