We study polyconvex envelopes of a class of functions related to the function of Kohn and Strang introduced in . We present an example of a function of this class for which the polyconvex envelope may be computed explicitly and we also point out some general features of the problem.
This Note contains the following remark on a recent result by Boccardo and Buttazzo: under the same assumptions, a stronger conclusion, concerning the solvability of variational inequalities, can be obtained.
In this note we prove compactness for the Cahn–Hilliard functional without assuming coercivity of the multi-well potential.
In this note we study the summability properties of the minima of some non differentiable functionals of Calculus of the Variations.
It is known that the vector stop operator with a convex closed characteristic of class is locally Lipschitz continuous in the space of absolutely continuous functions if the unit outward normal mapping is Lipschitz continuous on the boundary of . We prove that in the regular case, this condition is also necessary.
We consider some variational principles in the spaces C*(X) of bounded continuous functions on metrizable spaces X, introduced by M. M. Choban, P. S. Kenderov and J. P. Revalski. In particular we give an answer (consistent with ZFC) to a question stated by these authors.
We prove the equiabsolute integrability of a class of gradients, for functions in . The present result appears as the localized version of well-known classical theorems.
Si prova resistenza locale della soluzione di una equazione di Riccati che si incontra in un problema di controllo ottimale. In ipotesi di regolarità per il costo si prova resistenza globale. Il problema astratto considerato è il modello di alcuni problemi di controllo ottimale governati da equazioni paraboliche con controllo sulla frontiera.
The Monge-Kantorovich problem is revisited by means of a variant of the saddle-point method without appealing to c-conjugates. A new abstract characterization of the optimal plans is obtained in the case where the cost function takes infinite values. It leads us to new explicit sufficient and necessary optimality conditions. As by-products, we obtain a new proof of the well-known Kantorovich dual equality and an improvement of the convergence of the minimizing sequences.

Semi-smooth Newton methods for elliptic equations with gradient constraints are investigated. The one- and multi-dimensional cases are treated separately. Numerical examples illustrate the approach and as well as structural features of the solution.
