We consider bounded entire solutions of the nonlinear PDE βu + uu 3 = 0 in R d and prove that under certain monotonicity conditions these solutions must be constant on hyperplanes. The proof uses a Liouville theorem for harmonic functions associated with a nonuniformly elliptic divergence form opera

Abstract
We present a general theory to study optimal regularity for a large class of nonlinear elliptic systems satisfying general boundary conditions and in the presence of a geometric transmission condition on the free boundary. As an application we give a full positive answer to a conjecture of De Giorgi on the analyticity of local minimizers of the MumfordβShah functional. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
