Abstract: In a bounded domain Omega, we consider a positive solution of the problem Deltau+f(u)=0 in Omega, u=0 on partialOmega, where f:mathbbRomathbbR is a locally Lipschitz continuous function. Under sufficient conditions on Omega (for instance, if Omega is convex), we show that partialOmega is contained in a spherical annulus of radii ri<re, where rerileqC,[uu]partialOmegaalpha for some constants C>0 and alphain(0,1]. Here, [uu]partialOmega is the Lipschitz seminorm on partialOmega of the normal derivative of u. This result improves to H"older stability the logarithmic estimate obtained in [1] for Serrin's overdetermined problem. It also extends to a large class of semilinear equations the H"older estimate obtained in [6] for the case of torsional rigidity (fequiv1) by means of integral identities. The proof hinges on ideas contained in [1] and uses Carleson-type estimates and improved Harnack inequalities in cones.
