Does unique continuation also hold for derivatives of solutions?
Let $D \subset \mathbf{R}^n$ be the unit ball, and $u \in C^2(D)$ be a solution of the linear elliptic PDE
\begin{equation}
a^{ij} D_{ij} u + b^i D_i u + cu = 0 \quad \text{in $D$},
\end{equation}

When does the eikonal equation $\lvert Du \rvert^2 = f$ admit a local solution?
Let $f$ be a smooth function defined on the unit disc $D \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ with
\begin{equation}
f \geq 0 \text{ in $D$ and } f(0) = 0.
\end{equation}
This is allowed to have a degenerate minimum …

Heating a long cylinder: steady states
Consider a long cylinder $C = D \times (-L,L) \subset \mathbf{R}^3$, with heat applied to its horizontal boundary according to $\varphi$ and perfectly insulated ends. The steady state $u: C \to \mathb …

'Dirichlet problem' along axis for harmonic functions
Question. Let $f: \mathbf{R} \to \mathbf{R}$ be an analytic function. Is there a harmonic function $u$ on the circular cylinder $D \times \mathbf{R} \subset \mathbf{R}^3$ so that $u = f$ along the axi …

Entire solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in the plane
Question. Are all solutions $u: \mathbf{R}^2 \to \mathbf{C}$ of the Ginzburg-Landau equation (1) radially symmetric? What if one imposes additionally that $\int_{\mathbf{R}^2} ( 1 - \lvert u \rvert^2) …

Does the difference of solutions of two unrelated PDE solve an 'intermediate' equation?
I should preface this question by saying that I strongly suspect the answer is negative, but I couldn't find the counterexample myself.
Say we are working on the unit disc $D \subset \mathbf{R}^n$, wh …

The attractive 'force' between phase interfaces in the Allen-Cahn model
The heuristic explanation of the behavior of phase transition in the Allen–Cahn model describes two 'forces' at play:
the curvature of the phase interfaces—they each 'want to' minimize length;
and an …

A harmonic function degenerate in one direction
Question. Let $u: B^3 \to \mathbf{R}$ be a harmonic function with $u(0) = 0$, $Du(0) = 0$, where its homogeneous harmonic blow-up is a polynomial $p = p(x,y)$ in two variables, so independent of $z$; …

Distance function to mean curvature flow
In Ilmanen's monograph on elliptic regularization and mean curvature flow, the following claim is made. (Just for reference, this is on page 60.) For the proof—apparently standard calculations—the rea …
