Abstract:
In this talk, we first establish a Modica type estimate for bounded solutions to the overdetermined elliptic problem. The case of equality will also be discussed. Finally, we will give some information about the curvature of the boundary from such estimates. The proof uses the maximum principle together with scaling and contradiction arguments.
