We give a positive lower boud for the pricipal curvature of the strict covex level sets of harmoic fuctios i terms of the pricipal curvature of the domai boudary ad the orm of the boudary gradiet. We also exted this result to a class of semi-liear elliptic partial differetial equatios uder certai structure coditio. 1. Itroductio. The covexity of the level sets of the solutios of elliptic partial differetial equatios is a classical subject. For istace, Ahlfors [1] cotais the well-kow result that level curves of Gree fuctio o simply coected covex domai i the plae are the covex Jorda curves. I 1931, Gerge [8] proved the star-shapeess of the level sets of Gree fuctio o 3-dimesioal star-shaped domai. I 1956, Shiffma [20] studied the miimal aulus i R 3 whose boudary cosists of two closed covex curves i parallel plaes P 1, P 2. He proved that the itersectio of the surface with ay parallel plae P, betwee P 1 ad P 2, is a covex Jorda curve. I 1957, Gabriel [7] proved that the level sets of the Gree fuctio o a 3-dimesioal bouded covex domai are strictly covex, see also the book by Hormader [9]. Lewis [13] exteded Gabriel s result to p-harmoic fuctios i higher dimesios. Caffarelli-Spruck [6] geeralized the results [13] to a class of semiliear elliptic partial differetial equatios. Usig the idea of Caffarelli- Friedma [4], Korevaar [12] gave a ew proof o the results of [13, 6] by applyig the costat rak theorem of the secod fudametal form of the covex level sets of p-harmoic fuctio. A survey of this subject is give by Kawohl [11]. For more 2000 Mathematics Subject Classificatio. 35J05, 53J67. Key words ad phrases. Curvature estimate, level sets, semiliear elliptic equatio.

2 2 SUN-YUNG ALICE CHANG, XI-NAN MA AND PAUL YANG recet related extesios, please see the papers by Biachii-Logietti-Salai [3] ad Bia-Gua-Ma-Xu [2]. Now we tur to the curvature estimates of the level sets of the solutios of elliptic partial differetial equatios. For 2-dimesioal harmoic fuctio ad miimal surface with covex level curves, Ortel-Scheider [19], Logietti [14] ad [15] proved that the curvature of the level curves attais its miimum o the boudary. Jost-Ma-Ou [10] ad Ma-Ye-Ye [18] proved that the Gaussia curvature ad the pricipal curvature of the covex level sets of 3-dimesioal harmoic fuctio attais its miimum o the boudary. I this paper, usig the strog maximum priciple, we obtai a pricipal curvature estimates for the strictly covex level set of higher dimesioal harmoic fuctio ad a class of semiliear elliptic partial differetial equatios. Our curvature estimate is i terms of the pricipal curvature of the boudary ad the boudary gradiet of the solutio of elliptic partial differetial equatios. Now we state our result. Theorem 1.1. Let Ω be a bouded domai i R, 2, a u b ad u C 4 (Ω) C 2 ( Ω) be a solutio for u = f(x, u) 0 i Ω. (1.1) Assume u = 0 i Ω. If the level sets of u are strictly covex with respect to ormal Du, ad let k 1 be the least pricipal curvature of the level sets. Cosider the followig two assertios (A 1 ) ad (A 2 ): (A 1 ) The fuctio Du k 1 attais it miimum o the boudary; (A 2 ) The fuctio Du 2 k 1 attais it miimum o the boudary. The we have the followig: Case 1: Suppose f = 0, the (A 1 ) is valid. Case 2: Suppose f = f(u). If f u 0, the (A 1 ) is valid; if f u 0, the (A 2 ) is valid. Case 3: Suppose f = f(x). If F (t, x) := t 3 f(x) is a covex fuctio for (t, x) (0, + ) Ω (or for f > 0 ad f 1 2 is cocave), the (A 1 ) is valid. Case 4: Suppose f = f(x, u). If f u 0 ad F u (t, x) := t 3 f(x, u) is a covex fuctio for (t, x) (0, + ) Ω for every choice of u (a, b), the (A 1 ) is valid. If the level sets of the solutio u i the above Theorem 1.1 are strictly covex with respect to ormal Du, the it is proved i [16, 17] that the orm of gradiet u attais its maximum ad miimum o the boudary. Combiig this fact with Gabriel ad Lewis theorem [7, 13], we have the followig cosequece. Corollary 1.2. Let u C ( Ω) satisfy u = 0 i Ω = Ω 0 \ Ω 1, u = 0 o Ω 0, u = 1 o Ω 1, (1.2) where Ω 0 ad Ω 1 are bouded covex smooth domais i R, 2, Ω 1 Ω 0. Let k 1 be the least pricipal curvature of the level sets of u i Ω, the we have the followig estimates mi k 1 mi Ω Ω k 1 mi Ω0 Du max Ω1 Du.
3 PRINCIPAL CURVATURE ESTIMATES FOR THE LEVEL SETS 3 We give a applicatio to the followig semiliear elliptic boudary value problem, its strict covexity of the level sets had bee obtaied i Caffarelli-Spruck [6] ad Korevaar [12]. Corollary 1.3. Let u C 4 (Ω) C 2 ( Ω) satisfy u = f(u) i Ω = Ω 0 \ Ω 1, u = 0 o Ω 0, u = 1 o Ω 1, (1.3) where Ω 0 ad Ω 1 are bouded covex smooth domais i R, 2, Ω 1 Ω 0. We assume f is C 2 icreasig fuctio ad f(0) = 0, ad let k 1 be the least pricipal curvature of the level sets of u i Ω, the we have the followig estimates. mi k 1 mi k 1( mi Ω 0 Du Ω Ω max Ω1 Du )2. Assumig u = 0, Biachii-Logietti-Salai [3] proved the covexity of the level sets of solutio u for some semiliear elliptic equatio i covex rig with Dirichlet boudary coditios as i (1.3). It follows from the costat rak theorem of the secod fudametal form of the covex level sets i [12], that the level sets are strictly covex. For the Poisso equatio, our structure coditio is the same as theirs. Now we outlie the proof of the Theorem 1.1. Let {a ij } be the symmetry curvature matrix o the strict covex level sets defied i (2.4), ad let {a ij } be its iverse matrix. We cosider the auxiliary fuctio ϕ(x, ξ) := Du θ a ij ξ i ξ j, where ξ = (ξ 1,...ξ 1 ) R 1, ξ = 1. For suitable choice θ, we shall derive the followig elliptic iequality ϕ 0 mod ϕ i Ω, (1.4) here we have suppressed the terms cotaiig the gradiet of ϕ with locally bouded coefficiets, the we apply the strog maximum priciple to obtai the results. I sectio 2, we first give brief defiitio o the covexity of the level sets, the obtai the curvature matrix a ij of the level sets of a fuctio, which appeared i [2, 5]. I sectio 3, we treat the semiliear elliptic partial differetial equatio ad complete the proof of Theorem 1.1. The mai techique i the proof of theorems cosists i rearragig the third derivatives terms usig the equatio ad the first derivatives coditio for ϕ. 2. The curvature matrix of level sets. I this sectio, we shall give the brief defiitio o the covexity of the level sets, the itroduce the curvature matrix (a ij ) of the level sets of a fuctio, which appeared i [2]. Firstly, we recall some fudametal otatios i classical surface theory. Assume a surface Σ R is give by the graph of a fuctio v i a domai i R 1 : x = v(x ), x = (x 1, x 2,, x 1 ) R 1. Defiitio 2.1. We defie the graph of fuctio x = v(x ) is covex with respect to the upward ormal ν = 1 W ( v 1, v 2,, v 1, 1) if the secod fudametal form b ij = v ij W of the graph x = v(x ) is oegative defiite, where W = 1 + v 2.
4 4 SUN-YUNG ALICE CHANG, XI-NAN MA AND PAUL YANG The pricipal curvature κ = (κ 1,, κ 1 ) of the graph of v, beig the eigevalues of the secod fudametal form relative to the first fudametal form. We have the followig well-kow formula. Lemma 2.2. ([5]) The pricipal curvature of the graph x = v(x ) with respect to the upward ormal ν are the eigevalues of the symmetric curvature matrix { } v il, (2.1) a il = 1 W v iv j v jl W (1 + W ) v lv k v ki W (1 + W ) + v iv l v j v k v jk W 2 (1 + W ) 2 where the summatio covetio over repeated idices is employed. Now we give the defiitio of the covex level sets of the fuctio u. Let Ω be a domai i R ad u C 2 (Ω), its level sets ca be usually defied i the followig sese. Defiitio 2.3. Assume u = 0 i Ω, we defie the level set of u passig through the poit x o Ω as Σ u(xo) = {x Ω u(x) = u(x o )}. Now we shall work ear the poit x o where u(x o ) = 0. By the implicit fuctio theorem, locally the level set Σ u(xo) ca be represeted as a graph x = v(x ), x = (x 1, x 2,, x 1 ) R 1, ad v(x ) satisfies the followig equatio u(x 1, x 2,, x 1, v(x 1, x 2,, x 1 )) = u(x o ). The the first fudametal form of the level set is g ij (1 + v 2 ) 1 2 = u u. The upward ormal directio of the level set is = δ ij + uiuj u, ad W = 2 ν = u u u (u 1, u 2,, u 1, u ). (2.2) Let h ij = u 2 u ij + u u i u j u u j u i u u i u j, (2.3) the the secod fudametal form of the level set of fuctio u is b ij = vij W = u hij u u. 3 Defiitio 2.4. For the fuctio u C 2 (Ω) we assume u 0 i Ω. Without loss of geerality we ca let u (x o ) 0 for x o Ω. We defie locally the level set Σ u(xo) = {x Ω u(x) = u(x o )} is covex with respect to the upward ormal directio ν if the secod fudametal form b ij is oegative defiite. Remark 2.5. If we let u be the upward ormal of the level set Σ u(xo) at x o, the u (x o ) > 0 by (2.2). Acccordig to the defiitio 2.4, if the level set Σ u(xo) is covex with respect to the ormal directio u, the the matrix (h ij (x o )) is opositive defiite. Now we obtai the represetatio of the curvature matrix (a ij ) of the level sets of the fuctio u with the derivative of the fuctio u, { 1 u i u l h jl u j u l h il a ij = u u 2 h ij + W (1 + W )u 2 + W (1 + W )u 2 u } iu j u k u l h kl W 2 (1 + W ) 2 u 4. (2.4) From ow o we deote u i u l h jl u j u l h il B ij = W (1 + W )u 2 + W (1 + W )u 2, C ij = u iu j u k u l h kl W 2 (1 + W ) 2 u 4, (2.5)
5 PRINCIPAL CURVATURE ESTIMATES FOR THE LEVEL SETS 5 ad A ij = h ij + B ij C ij, (2.6) the the symmetric curvature matrix of the level sets of u ca be represeted as 1 [ ] 1 a ij = hij u u 2 + B ij C ij = u u 2 A ij. (2.7) We ed this sectio with the followig Codazzi coditio which will be used i the ext sectios. Propositio 2.6. (see [2]) Deote a ij,k = aij x k for 1 i, j, k 1, the at the poit where u = u > 0, u i = 0, a ij,k is commutative i i, j, k, i.e. Proof. Direct calculatio shows a ij,k = a ik,j. a ij,k = u 1 u ijk + u 2 (u ij u k + u ik u j + u jk u i ). (2.8) The right had side of (2.8) is obviously commutative i i, j, k. 3. Pricipal curvature estimates of level set of Poisso equatio. I this sectio, we prove the Theorem 1.1. We study the followig equatio u = f(x, u) 0 i Ω. (3.1) Proof of Theorem 1.1: Sice the level sets of u are strictly covex with respect to ormal Du, the curvature matrix a ij of the level sets is positive defiite i Ω. Let a ij be the iverse matrix of a ij. We cosider the auxiliary fuctio ϕ(x, ξ) := Du θ a ij (x)ξ i ξ j, where ξ = (ξ 1,...ξ 1 ) R 1, ξ = 1. For suitable choice θ, we shall derive the followig elliptic iequality ϕ 0 mod ϕ i Ω, (3.2) where we modify the terms of the gradiet of ϕ with locally bouded coefficiets. The by the stadard strog maximum priciple, we get the result immediately. I order to prove (3.2) at a arbitrary poit x o Ω, as i Caffarelli-Friedma [4], we choose the ormal coordiate at x o. We have metioed i remark 2.5, sice the level sets of u are strictly covex with respect to ormal Du, by rotatig the coordiate system suitably by T xo, we may assume that u i (x o ) = 0, 1 i 1 ad u (x o ) = u > 0. Ad we ca further assume ξ = e 1, the matrix {u ij }(x o ) (1 i < j 1) is diagoal ad u ii (x o ) < 0. Cosequetly we ca choose T xo to vary smoothly with x o. If we ca establish (3.2) at x o uder the above assumptio, the go back to the origial coordiates we fid that (3.2) remai valid with ew locally bouded coefficiets o ϕ i (3.2), depedig smoothly o the idepedet variable. Thus it remais to establish (3.2) uder the above assumptio. Now we write ϕ(x) := Du θ a 11. From ow o, all the calculatios will be doe at the fixed poit x 0. Step1: we first compute the formula (3.19) Takig first derivative of ϕ, we get ϕ α = θ 2 Du θ 2 Du 2 αa 11 + Du θ a 11 α, (3.3)
6 6 SUN-YUNG ALICE CHANG, XI-NAN MA AND PAUL YANG sice it follows that a 11 α = 1 k,l=1 a 1k a 1l a kl,α, (3.4) a 11,α = θ u α u a 11 u θ a 2 11ϕ α. (3.5) From ow o, we follow the covetio: the Greek idices 1 α, β, γ, the Lati idices 1 i, j, k, l 1. Sice a 11 αα = 1 k,l,r,s=1 [a 1r a ks a 1l a kl,α a rs,α + a 1k a 1r a ls a kl,α a rs,α ] 1 = 2(a 11 ) 2 a kk a 2 1k,α (a 11 ) 2 a 11,αα, k=1 1 k,l=1 a 1k a 1l a kl,αα Takig derivative of equatio (3.3) oce more, ad usig (3.5), it follows that 1 a 2 11ϕ αα = Du θ a 11,αα + 2 Du θ a kk a 2 1k,α + θ Du θ 1 a 11 u αα From the equatio (3.1), k=1 θ(θ + 2) Du θ 2 u 2 αa 11 + θ Du θ 2 a 11 γ=1 u 2 αγ + 2θa 2 11u 1 u α ϕ α. u 2 θ a 2 11 ϕ = u 2 +[θ a 11,αα + 2u 2 α,γ=1 1 k=1 u 2 αγ + θu D f θ(θ + 2) a kk a 2 1k,α + 2θa 2 11u 1 θ u α ϕ α u 2 α]a 11. (3.6) Now we use (3.5) ad the Codazzi idetity (2.6) to treat the followig term i (3.6). 1 k=1 a kk a 2 1k,α = a 11 = 1,α k 1 a 2 11,α + +a 3 11u 2θ 1 a kk a 2 kk,1 +,α k 1 a kk a 2 1k,α + a kk a 2 kk,1 + θ 2 u 2 ϕ 2 α 2θa 2 11u 1 θ a kk a 2 1k,α a 11 u 2 α u α ϕ α. (3.7)

(3.8) D αα = 5u u 2 α + 3u 2 u αα + u D αα = 5u By (2.4), we have u 2 α + 3u 2 D f + u Takig derivative of equatio (3.10), it follows that By (2.6) By (2.5), at x o we have We get u 2 γ=1 α,γ=1 u 2 αγ. u 2 αγ. (3.9) A 11 = u u 2 a 11. (3.10) A 11,α = a 11 D α + Da 11,α, A 11,αα = Da 11,αα + 2a 11,α D α + a 11 D αα. (3.11) A 11,αα = h 11,αα + B 11,αα C 11,αα. (3.12) C 11,αα = 0. (3.13) a 11,αα = u 1 +u 1 h 11,αα u 1 B 11,αα [a 11 D αα + 2D α a 11,α ]. (3.14) Takig first ad secod derivatives of equatio (2.5) o B ij, we have 1 B 11,αα = 4 l=1 u 1α u lα h 1l W (1 + W )u 2.

(3.19) STEP 2: I this step we calculate the followig term i (3.19) h 11,αα, u 1 i order to derive the formula (3.32). By (2.3), we have ad h 11,α = 2u u α u 11 + u 2 u 11α + u α u u u 1 u 1α 2u α u 1 u 1 2u u 1α u 1 2u u 1 u 1α, (3.20) h 11,αα = 2u u αα u u u α u 11α 2u u 1αα u 1 + u 2 u 11αα +2u 11 u 2 α + 2u u 2 1α 4u α u 1α u 1 4u u 1α u 1α.

(3.36) i=1 Now we let λ i = a ii > 0, 1 i 1, use the followig abbreviatio σ k (λ) = λ i1 λ ik, 1 i 1< <i k 1 ad let σ k (λ i) deote the summatio i which the terms ivolvig λ i are deleted. Combiig (3.35)- (3.36), it follows that u 2 θ a 2 11 ϕ u D 11 f + (1 + θ)u λ 1 D f 6u 1 D 1 f + 6u 1 u 2 1f +(θ 2 + θ)λ 1 f 2 + 2(θ 2 + θ)u λ 1 σ 1 (λ 1)f + 2(θ 2 θ 1)u λ 2 1 f i=1 +λ 1 u 2 [(θ 1) 2 λ (θ + 1) 2 σ 1 2 (λ 1) +2(θ 2 θ 1)λ 1 σ 1 (λ 1) 2(1 + θ)σ 2 (λ 1)] 1 +(θ 1) 2 λ 1 u (θ + 1) 2 λ 1 u 2 j. (3.37) Now we make the followig choice of θ to complete the proof. Case 1: if f = 0, for = 3, we let θ = 0 the for ϕ := a 11, we get j=2 u 2 a 2 11 ϕ λ 1 (u u 2 23) + λ 1 u 2 3(λ 1 λ 2 ) 2 0.
