Abstract

We consider an elliptic PDE problem related with fluid mechanics. We show that level sets of rescaled solutions satisfy the zero mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. In particular, such level sets cannot be touched from below (above) by a convex (concave) paraboloid in a suitably small neighborhood.
