Some Liouville theorems for PDE problems in periodic media

Luis Caffarelli (2003)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Liouville problems in periodic media (i.e. the study of properties of global solutions to PDE) arise both in homogenization and dynamical systems. We discuss some recent results for minimal surfaces and free boundaries.

Some new existence, sensitivity and stability results for the nonlinear complementarity problem

Rubén López (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this work we study the nonlinear complementarity problem on the nonnegative orthant. This is done by approximating its equivalent variational-inequality-formulation by a sequence of variational inequalities with nested compact domains. This approach yields simultaneously existence, sensitivity, and stability results. By introducing new classes of functions and a suitable metric for performing the approximation, we provide bounds for the asymptotic set of the solution set and coercive existence...

Some new problems in spectral optimization

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Bozhidar Velichkov (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We present some new problems in spectral optimization. The first one consists in determining the best domain for the Dirichlet energy (or for the first eigenvalue) of the metric Laplacian, and we consider in particular Riemannian or Finsler manifolds, Carnot-Carathéodory spaces, Gaussian spaces. The second one deals with the optimal shape of a graph when the minimization cost is of spectral type. The third one is the optimization problem for a Schrödinger potential in suitable classes.

Some regularity results for minimal crystals

L. Ambrosio, M. Novaga, E. Paolini (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We introduce an intrinsic notion of perimeter for subsets of a general Minkowski space ( i . e . a finite dimensional Banach space in which the norm is not required to be even). We prove that this notion of perimeter is equivalent to the usual definition of surface energy for crystals and we study the regularity properties of the minimizers and the quasi-minimizers of perimeter. In the two-dimensional case we obtain optimal regularity results: apart from a singular set (which is 1 -negligible and is empty...

Some relations among volume, intrinsic perimeter and one-dimensional restrictions of B V functions in Carnot groups

Francescopaolo Montefalcone (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Let 𝔾 be a k -step Carnot group. The first aim of this paper is to show an interplay between volume and 𝔾 -perimeter, using one-dimensional horizontal slicing. What we prove is a kind of Fubini theorem for 𝔾 -regular submanifolds of codimension one. We then give some applications of this result: slicing of B V 𝔾 functions, integral geometric formulae for volume and 𝔾 -perimeter and, making use of a suitable notion of convexity, called 𝔾 -convexity, we state a Cauchy type formula for 𝔾 -convex sets. Finally,...
