Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We show that if a unique solution of an elliptic boundary value problem over a bounded domain has a level surface parallel to the boundary, then the domain must be a ball. This is regarded as a kind of isoperimetric property such that the rate of change of the solution on the surface parallel to the boundary must be minimized at a ball. Moreover, it is shown that, if the solution is nearly a constant on the surface, then the domain is nearly a ball. Also, we show that if a unique solution of an elliptic boundary value problem on an exterior domain has a level surface similar to the boundary, then the boundary must be a sphere. On the other hand, for a hypersurface, we consider the perturbed domain whose boundary consists of two hypersurfaces parallel to the hypersurface at an equal distance. Under some initial and boundary conditions, we show that if the hypersurface is stationary isotermic, then the surface must be either a plane or a sphere. Some new problems are proposed.
