In this manuscript we study geometric regularity estimates for quasi-linear elliptic equations of $p$-Laplace type ($1 < p< \infty$) with strong absorption condition: $$ -\text{div}\,(\Phi(x, u, \nabla u)) + \lambda_0(x) u_{+}^q(x) = 0 \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $\Phi: \Omega \times \mathbb{R}_{+} \times \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N$ is a vector field with an appropriate $p$-structure, $\lambda_0$ is a non-negative and bounded function and $0\leq q0\} \cap \Omega$, where the regularity exponent is given explicitly by $\gamma = \frac{p}{p-1-q} \gg 1$. Some weak geometric and measure theoretical properties as non-degeneracy, uniform positive density and porosity of free boundary are proved. As an application, a Liouville-type result for entire solutions is established provided that their growth at infinity can be controlled in an appropriate manner. Finally, we obtain finiteness of $(N-1)$-Hausdorff measure of free boundary for a particular class of dead core problems. The approach employed in this article is novel even to dead core problems governed by the $p$-Laplace operator $-\Delta_p u + \lambda_0 u^q\chi_{\{u>0\}} = 0$ for any $\lambda_0>0$. \newline \newline \noindent \textbf{Keywords:} Quasi-linear elliptic operators of $p$-Laplace type, improved regularity estimates, Free boundary problems of dead core type, Liouville type results, Hausdorff measure estimates., Comment: article published in Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations , 2018

We study regularity issues and the limiting behavior as $p\to\infty$ of nonnegative solutions for elliptic equations of $p-$Laplacian type ($2 \leq p< \infty$) with a strong absorption: $$ -\Delta_p u(x) + \lambda_0(x) u_{+}^q(x) = 0 \quad \text{ in } \quad \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $\lambda_0>0$ is a bounded function, $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $0\leq q0\} \cap \Omega$ where the sharp regularity exponent is given explicitly by $\gamma = \frac{1}{1-\ell}$. Finally, some weak geometric and measure theoretical properties as non-degeneracy, uniform positive density, porosity and convergence of the free boundaries are proved., Comment: article accepted in Journal of the London Mathematical Society , 2019. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1712.06683

In this work, our interest lies in proving the existence of solutions to the following Fractional Lane-Emden Hamiltonian system: $$ \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^s u = H_v(x,u,v) & \text{in }\Omega,\\ (-\Delta)^s v = H_u(x,u,v) & \text{in }\Omega,\\ u=v=0 & \text{in } \R^n\setminus\Omega. \end{cases} $$ The method, that can be traced back to the work of De Figueiredo and Felmer \cite{DF-F}, is flexible enough to deal with more general nonlocal operators and make use of a combination of fractional order Sobolev spaces together with functional calculus for self-adjoint operators., Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures

In this article we study different extensions of the celebrated Hopf's boundary lemma within the context of a family of nonlocal, nonlinear and nonstandard growth operators. More precisely, we examine the behavior of solutions of the fractional $a-$Laplacian operator near the boundary of a domain satisfying the interior ball condition. Our approach addresses problems involving both constant-sign and sign-changing potentials., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2312.07734

In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of solutions for a nonlinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian with variable exponent. We first prove different maximum principles involving this operator. Then we employ the direct moving planes method to obtain monotonicity of solutions to a nonlinear equations in which the fractional laplacian with variable exponent is present. Note that, there are no results studying the monotonicity of solutions for local or nonlocal equations with variables exponent. Our results are new in this setting and includes a self-contained techniques.

We study regularity properties of solutions to nonlinear and nonlocal evolution problems driven by the so-called \emph{$0$-order fractional $p-$Laplacian} type operators: $$ \partial_t u(x,t)=\mathcal{J}_p u(x,t):=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} J(x-y)|u(y,t)-u(x,t)|^{p-2}(u(y,t)-u(x,t))\,dy\,, $$ where $n\ge 1$, $p>1$, $J\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is a bounded nonnegative function with compact support, $J(0)>0$ and normalized such that $\|J\|_{\mathrm{L}^1(\mathbb{R}^n)}=1$, but not necessarily smooth. We deal with Cauchy problems on the whole space, and with Dirichlet and Neumann problems on bounded domains. Beside complementing the existing results about existence and uniqueness theory, we focus on sharp regularity results in the whole range $p\in (1,\infty)$. When $p>2$, we find an unexpected $\mathrm{L}^q-\mathrm{L}^\infty$ regularization: the surprise comes from the fact that this result is false in the linear case $p=2$. We show next that bounded solutions automatically gain higher time regularity, more precisely that $u(x,\cdot)\in C^p_t$. We finally show that solutions preserve the regularity of the initial datum up to certain order, that we conjecture to be optimal ($p$-derivatives in space). When $p>1$ is integer we can reach $C^\infty$ regularity (gained in time, preserved in space) and even analyticity in time. The regularity estimates that we obtain are quantitative and constructive (all computable constants), and have a local character, allowing us to show further properties of the solutions: for instance, initial singularities do not move with time. We also study the asymptotic behavior for large times of solutions to Dirichlet and Neumann problems. Our results are new also in the linear case and are sharp when $p$ is integer. We expect them to be optimal for all $p>1$, supporting this claim with some numerical simulations., Comment: 53 pages

In this work we investigate the energy of minimizers of Rayleigh-type quotients of the form $$ \frac{\int_\Omega A(|\nabla u|)\, dx}{\int_\Omega A(|u|)\, dx}. $$ These minimizers are eigenfunctions of the generalized laplacian defined as $\Delta_a u = \text{div}\left(a(|\nabla u|)\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}\right)$ where $a(t)=A'(t)$ and the Rayleigh quotient is comparable to the associated eigenvalue. On the function $A$ we only assume that it is a Young function but no $\Delta_2$ condition is imposed. Since the problem is not homogeneous, the energy of minimizers is known to strongly depend on the normalization parameter $\alpha =\int_\Omega A(|u|)\, dx$. In this work we precisely analyze this dependence and show differentiability of the energy with respect to $\alpha$ and, moreover, the limits as $\alpha\to 0$ and $\alpha\to \infty$ of the Rayleigh quotient. The nonlocal version of this problem is also analyzed., Comment: 22 pages. Submitted

In this paper, we consider different versions of the classical Hopf's boundary lemma in the setting of the fractional $p-$Laplacian for $p \geq 2$. We start by providing for a new proof to a Hopf's lemma based on comparison principles. Afterwards, we give a Hopf's result for sign-changing potential describing the behavior of the fractional normal derivative of solutions around boundary points. The main contribution here is that we do not need to impose a global condition on the sign of the solution. Applications of the main results to boundary point lemmas and non-local non-linear overdetermined problems are also provided., Comment: article accepted in Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems.

In this article we consider a homogeneous eigenvalue problem ruled by the fractional $g-$Laplacian operator whose Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained by minimization of a quotient involving Luxemburg norms. We prove existence of an infinite sequence of variational eigenvalues and study its behavior as the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$ among other stability results., Comment: 25 pages, submitted

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of anisotropic fractional energies as the fractional parameter $s\in (0,1)$ approaches both $s\uparrow 1$ and $s\downarrow 0$ in the spirit of the celebrated papers of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu \cite{BBM} and Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova \cite{MS}. Then, focusing con the case $s\uparrow 1$ we analyze the behavior of solutions to the corresponding minimization problems and finally, we also study the problem where a homogenization effect is combined with the localization phenomena that occurs when $s\uparrow 1$., Comment: 19 pages, submitted

We give a complete characterization of the boundary traces $\varphi_i$ ($i=1,\dots,K$) supporting spiraling waves, rotating with a given angular speed $\omega$, which appear as singular limits of competition-diffusion systems of the type \[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t} u_i -\Delta u_i = \mu u_i -\beta u_i \sum_{j \neq i} a_{ij} u_j \text{ in } \Omega \times\mathbb{R}^+, \qquad u_i = \varphi_i \text{ on $\partial\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^+$}, \qquad u_i(\mathbf{x},0) = u_{i,0}(\mathbf{x}) \text{ for $\mathbf{x} \in \Omega$} \] as $\beta\to +\infty$. Here $\Omega$ is a rotationally invariant planar set and $a_{ij}>0$ for every $i$ and $j$. We tackle also the homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, as well as entire solutions in the plane. As a byproduct of our analysis we detect explicit families of eternal, entire solutions of the pure heat equation, parameterized by $\omega\in\mathbb{R}$, which reduce to homogeneous harmonic polynomials for $\omega=0$.

We establish global H\"older regularity for eigenfunctions of the fractional $g-$Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions where $g=G'$ and $G$ is a Young functions satisfying the so called $\Delta_2$ condition. Our results apply to more general semilinear equations of the form $(-\Delta_g)^s u = f(u)$.

In this note we obtain an asymptotic estimate for growth behavior of variational eigenvalues of the $p-$fractional eigenvalue problem on a smooth bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition., Comment: mistake in the proof

In this article we study some optimal design problems related to nonstandard growth eigenvalues ruled by the $g-$Laplacian operator. More precisely, given $\Omega\subset \R^n$ and $\alpha,c>0$ we consider the optimization problem $\inf \{ \lambda_\Omega(\alpha,E)\colon E\subset \Omega, |E|=c \}$, where $\lambda_\Omega(\alpha,E)$ is related to the first eigenvalue to $$ -\text{div}(g( |\nabla u |)\tfrac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}) + g(u)\tfrac{u}{|u|}+ \alpha \chi_E g(u)\tfrac{u}{|u|} \quad \text{ in }\Omega $$ subject to Dirichlet, Neumann or Steklov boundary conditions. \\ We analyze existence of an optimal configuration, symmetry properties of them, and the asymptotic behavior as $\alpha$ approaches $+\infty$., Comment: the definition of eigenvalue was clarified

In this paper we consider a H\'{e}non-type equation driven by a nonlinear operator obtained as a combination of a local and nonlocal term. We prove existence and non-existence akin to the classical result by Ni, and a stability result as the fractional parameter $s \to 1$., Comment: 22 pages

In this article we consider the following weighted nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the $g-$Laplacian $$ -\mathop{\text{ div}}\left( g(|\nabla u|)\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}\right) = \lambda w(x) h(|u|)\frac{u}{|u|} \quad \text{ in }\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 1 $$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here $w$ is a suitable weight and $g=G'$ and $h=H'$ are appropriated Young functions satisfying the so called $\Delta'$ condition, which includes for instance logarithmic perturbation of powers and different power behaviors near zero and infinity. We prove several properties on its spectrum, being our main goal to obtain lower bounds of eigenvalues in terms of $G$, $H$, $w$ and the normalization $\mu$ of the corresponding eigenfunctions. We introduce some new strategies to obtain results that generalize several inequalities from the literature of $p-$Laplacian type eigenvalues., Comment: 21 pages

We study different maximum principles for non-local non-linear operators with non-standard growth that arise naturally in the context of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and whose most notable representative is the fractional $g-$Laplacian: \[ (-\Delta_g)^su(x):=\textrm{p.v.}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}g\left(\frac{u(x)-u(y)}{|x-y|^s}\right)\frac{dy}{|x-y|^{n+s}}, \] being $g$ the derivative of a Young function. We further derive qualitative properties of solutions such as a Liouville type theorem and symmetry results and present several possible extensions and some interesting open questions. These are the first results of this type proved in this setting.

In this article, we prove that the least energy nodal solutions to Lane-Emden equation $-{\Delta}u = |u|^{p-2}u$ with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on a square are odd with respect to one diagonal and even with respect to the other one when $p$ is close to 2. We also show that this symmetry breaks on rectangles close to squares.

In the present work we study existence of sequences of variational eigenvalues to non-local non-standard growth problems ruled by the fractional $g-$Laplacian operator with different boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin). Due to the non-homogeneous nature of the operator several drawbacks must be overcome, leading to some results that contrast with the case of power functions.

In this article we study the homogenization rates of eigenvalues of a Steklov problem with rapidly oscillating periodic weight functions. The results are obtained via a careful study of oscillating functions on the boundary and a precise estimate of the $L^\infty$ bound of eigenfunctions. As an application we provide some estimates on the first nontrivial curve of the Dancer-{F}u{\v{c}}{\'{\i}}k spectrum., Comment: 19 pages

In this article we prove both norm and modular Hardy inequalities for a class functions in one-dimensional fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces., Comment: to appear in "Publicacions Matem\'atiques"

We establish interior and up to the boundary H\"older regularity estimates for weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the fractional $g-$Laplacian with bounded right hand side and $g$ convex. These are the first regularity results available in the literature for integro-differential equations in the context of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.

In this note we prove the validity of the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova formula in magnetic fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. This complements a previous study of the limit as $s \uparrow 1$ performed by the second author in [21].

We study the eigenvalue problem for the $g-$Laplacian operator in fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, where $g=G'$ and neither $G$ nor its conjugated function satisfy the $\Delta_2$ condition. Our main result is the existence of a nontrivial solution to such a problem; this is achieved by first showing that the corresponding minimization problem has a solution and then applying a generalized Lagrange multiplier theorem to get the existence of an eigenvalue. Further, we prove closedness of the spectrum and some properties of the eigenvalues and, as an application, we show existence for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems.

In the first part of this article we deal with the existence of at least three non-trivial weak solutions of a nonlocal problem with nonstandard growth involving a nonlocal Robin type boundary condition. The second part of the article is devoted to study eigenvalues and minimizers of several nonlocal problems for the fractional $g-$Laplacian $(-\Delta_g)^s$ with different boundary conditions, namely, Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin., Comment: 22 pages

In this note we study the limit as $s\downarrow 0$ of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev seminorms in Carnot groups. This closes the study started in [10], Comment: Paper retired due to a technical problem with the main proof

In this paper we prove a reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ of the fully nonlinear eigenvalue problem \[ \label{eq} \left\{\begin{array}{r c l l} -\lambda_N(D^2 u) & = & \mu u & \text{in }\Omega, \\ u & = & 0 & \text{on }\partial \Omega. \end{array}\right. \] Here $ \lambda_N(D^2 u)$ stands for the largest eigenvalue of the Hessian matrix of $u$. More precisely, we prove that, for an open, bounded, convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, the inequality \[ \mu_1(\Omega) \leq \frac{\pi^2}{[\text{diam}(\Omega)]^2} = \mu_1(B_{\text{diam}(\Omega)/2}),\] where $\text{diam}(\Omega)$ is the diameter of $\Omega$, holds true. The inequality actually implies a stronger result, namely, the maximality of the ball under a diameter constraint. Furthermore, we discuss the minimization of $\mu_1(\Omega)$ under different kinds of constraints., Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure

In this article we define a class of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups and, in the spirit of the celebrated results of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu and of Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova, we study the asymptotic behavior of the Orlicz functionals when the fractional parameter goes to $1$ and $0$.

In this paper we deal with the stability of solutions of fractional $p-$Laplace problems with nonlinear sources when the fractional parameter $s$ goes to 1. We prove a general convergence result for general weak solutions which is applied to study the convergence of ground state solutions of $p-$fractional problems in bounded and unbounded domains as $s$ goes to 1. Moreover, our result applies to treat the stability of $p-$fractional eigenvalues as $s$ goes to 1., Comment: 13 pages

In this article we prove modular and norm P\'olya-Szeg\"o inequalities in general fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces by using the polarization technique. We introduce a general framework which includes the different definitions of theses spaces in the literature, and we establish some of its basic properties such as the density of smooth functions. As a corollary we prove a Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn type inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues under nonlocal nonstandard growth operators., Comment: 19 pages, some typos fixed and references added

In this paper we define the notion of nonlocal magnetic Sobolev spaces with non-standard growth for Lipschitz magnetic fields. In this context we prove a Bourgain - Brezis - Mironescu type formula for functions in this space as well as for sequences of functions. Finally, we deduce some consequences such as the $\Gamma-$convergence of modulars and convergence of solutions for some non-local magnetic Laplacian allowing non-standard growth laws to its local counterpart., Comment: 21 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1707.03267

In this article we study eigenvalues and minimizers of a fractional non-standard growth problem. We prove several properties on this quantities and their corresponding eigenfunctions.

This paper concerns with the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to a family of fractional type problems on a bounded domain, satisfying homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The family of differential operators includes the fractional $p_n$-Laplacian when $p_n\to\infty$ as a particular case, tough it could be extended to a function of the H\"older quotient of order $s$, whose primitive is an Orlicz function satisfying appropriated growth conditions. The limit equation involves the H\"older infinity Laplacian., Comment: 29 pages. Submitted

We consider a homogeneous fractional Sobolev space obtained by completion of the space of smooth test functions, with respect to a Sobolev--Slobodecki\u{\i} norm. We compare it to the fractional Sobolev space obtained by the $K-$method in real interpolation theory. We show that the two spaces do not always coincide and give some sufficient conditions on the open sets for this to happen. We also highlight some unnatural behaviors of the interpolation space. The treatment is as self-contained as possible., Comment: 33 pages, 2 figures

We prove a general result about the behaviour of minimizing sequences for nonlocal shape functionals satisfying suitable structural assumptions. Typical examples include functions of the eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Exploiting a nonlocal version of Lions' concentration-compactness principle, we prove that either an optimal shape exists, or there exists a minimizing sequence consisting of two "pieces" whose mutual distance tends to infinity. Our work is inspired by similar results obtained by Bucur in the local case., Comment: 17 pages

In this manuscript we study the following optimization problem: given a bounded and regular domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ we look for an optimal shape for the "$\mathrm{W}-$vanishing window" on the boundary with prescribed measure over all admissible profiles in the framework of the Orlicz-Sobolev spaces associated to constant for the "Sobolev trace embedding". In this direction, we establish existence of minimizer profiles and optimal sets, as well as we obtain further properties for such extremals. Finally, we also place special emphasis on analyzing the corresponding optimization problem involving an "$\mathrm{A}-$vanishing hole" (inside the domain) with volume constraint.

In this paper we define the fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, and prove its convergence to the classical Orlicz-Sobolev spaces when the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$ in the spirit of the celebrated result of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu. We then deduce some consequences such as $\Gamma-$convergence of the modulars and convergence of solutions for some fractional versions of the $\Delta_g$ operator as the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$., Comment: 28 pages.

In this note we analyze how perturbations of a ball $\mathfrak{B}_r \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ behaves in terms of their first (non-trivial) Neumann and Dirichlet $\infty-$eigenvalues when a volume constraint $\\mathscr{L}^n(\Omega) = \mathscr{L}^n(\mathfrak{B}_r)$ is imposed. Our main result states that $\Omega$ is uniformly close to a ball when it has first Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues close to the ones for the ball of the same volume $\mathfrak{B}_r$. In fact, we show that, if $$ |\lambda_{1,\infty}^D(\Omega) - \lambda_{1,\infty}^D(\mathfrak{B}_r)| = \delta_1 \quad \text{and} \quad |\lambda_{1,\infty}^N(\Omega) - \lambda_{1,\infty}^N(\mathfrak{B}_r)| = \delta_2, $$ then there are two balls such that $$\mathfrak{B}_{\frac{r}{\delta_1 r+1}} \subset \Omega \subset \mathfrak{B}_{\frac{r+\delta_2 r}{1-\delta_2 r}}.$$ In addition, we also obtain a result concerning stability of the Dirichlet $\infty-$eigen-functions., Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure

In this article we obtain improved versions of Stein-Weiss and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities, involving Besov norms of negative smoothness. As an application of the former, we derive the existence of extremals of the Stein-Weiss inequality in certain cases, some of which are not contained in the celebrated theorem of E. Lieb., Comment: 20 pages; added references, corrected typos, and other minor changes

In this article we prove that the first eigenvalue of the $\infty-$Laplacian $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rclcl} \min\{ -\Delta_\infty v,\, |\nabla v|-\lambda_{1, \infty}(\Omega) v \} & = & 0 & \text{in} & \Omega v & = & 0 & \text{on} & \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ has a unique (up to scalar multiplication) maximal solution. This maximal solution can be obtained as the limit as $\ell \nearrow 1$ of concave problems of the form $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rclcl} \min\{ -\Delta_\infty v_{\ell},\, |\nabla v_{\ell}|-\lambda_{1, \infty}(\Omega) v_{\ell}^{\ell} \} & = & 0 & \text{in} & \Omega v_{\ell} & = & 0 & \text{on} & \partial \Omega. \end{array} \right. $$ In this way we obtain that the maximal eigenfunction is the unique one that is the limit of the concave problems as happens for the usual eigenvalue problem for the $p-$Laplacian for a fixed $1

In this article we study the behavior as $p \nearrow+\infty$ of the Fucik spectrum for $p$-Laplace operator with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We characterize the limit equation, and we provide a description of the limit spectrum. Furthermore, we show some explicit computations of the spectrum for certain configurations of the domain., Comment: 5 figures

In this work we study a general shape optimization problem where the state equation is given in terms of a nonlocal operator. Examples of the problems considered are monotone combinations of fractional eigenvalues. Moreover, we also analyze the transition from nonlocal to local state equations., Comment: 17 pages, submitted

In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of the curves of the Fu{\v{c}}{\'{\i}}k spectrum for weighted second order linear ordinary differential equations. We prove a Weyl type asymptotic behavior of the hyperbolic type curves in the spectrum in terms of some integrals of the weights. We present an algorithm which computes the intersection of the Fu{\v{c}}{\'{\i}}k spectrum with rays through the origin, and we compare their values with the asymptotic ones., Comment: 15 pages

We study existence of principal eigenvalues of fully nonlinear integro-differential elliptic equations with a drift term via the Krein-Rutman theorem which based on regularity up to boundary of viscosity solutions. We also show the simplicity of the eigenfunctions in viscosity sense by a nonlocal version of ABP estimate.

In this work we study the convergence of an homogenization problem for half-eigenvalues and Fu\v{c}\'ik eigencurves. We provide quantitative bounds on the rate of convergence of the curves for periodic homogenization problems., Comment: 11 pages

Given a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$ we study the asymptotic behavior as $\varepsilon \to 0$ of the eigencurves of $$ -\Delta_p u_\varepsilon=\alpha_\varepsilon m(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon})(u_\varepsilon^+ )^{p-1} - \beta_\varepsilon n(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon})(u_\varepsilon^- )^{p-1} \quad \textrm{ in } \Omega $$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $m$ and $n$ are bounded periodic weights. In this work we obtain accurate bounds of the convergence rates of these curves to some limit curves as $\varepsilon \to 0$., Comment: 13 pages
