In this paper, we study a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in a half ball. We prove that a domain in which this partially overdetermined problem admits a solution if and only if the domain is a spherical cap intersecting S n−1 orthogonally. As an application, we show a stationary point for a partially torsional rigidity under a volume constraint must be a spherical cap.

In this paper, we study stability and instability problem for type-II partitioning problem. First, we make a complete classification of stable type-II stationary hypersurfaces in a ball in a space form as totally geodesic n-balls. Second, for general ambient spaces and convex domains, we give some topological restriction for type-II stable stationary immersed surfaces in two dimension. Third, we give a lower bound for the Morse index for type-II stationary hypersurfaces in terms of their topology.MSC 2010: 53A10, 53C24, 53C40.

In the first part of this paper, we consider a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in space forms and generalize the main result in [11] to the case of general domains with partial umbilical boundary in space forms. Precisely, we prove that a partially overdetermined problem in a domain with partial umbilical boundary admits a solution if and only if the rest part of the boundary is also part of an umbilical hypersurface. In the second part of this paper, we prove a Heintze–Karcher–Ros-type inequality for embedded hypersurfaces with free boundary lying on a horosphere or an equidistant hypersurface in the hyperbolic space. As an application, we show an Alexandrov-type theorem for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces with free boundary in these settings.
