Regularity and variationality of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Part I : regularity
We formulate an Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equationon a dimensional manifold , with assumptions of convexity of and regularity of (locally in a neighborhood of in ); we define the “min solution” , a generalized solution; to this end, we view as a symplectic manifold. The definition of “min solution” is suited to proving regularity results about ; in particular, we prove in the first part that the closure of the set where is not regular may be covered by a countable number...
Regularity and variationality of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Part I: Regularity
We formulate an Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation H( x, D u(x))=0 on a n dimensional manifold M, with assumptions of convexity of H(x, .) and regularity of H (locally in a neighborhood of {H=0} in T*M); we define the “minsol solution” u, a generalized solution; to this end, we view T*M as a symplectic manifold. The definition of “minsol solution” is suited to proving regularity results about u; in particular, we prove in the first part that the closure of the set where...

Regularity for minimizers of functionals with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients
Based on the theory of variable exponent spaces, we study the regularity of local minimizers for a class of functionals with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain local Hölder continuity of minimizers.

Regularity of displacement solutions in Hencky plasticity. II: The main result
The aim of this paper is to study the problem of regularity of displacement solutions in Hencky plasticity. Here, a non-homogeneous material is considered, where the elastic-plastic properties change discontinuously. In the first part, we have found the extremal relation between the displacement formulation defined on the space of bounded deformation and the stress formulation of the variational problem in Hencky plasticity. In the second part, we prove that the displacement...
Regularity of displacement solutions in Hencky plasticity. I: The extremal relation
The aim of this paper is to study the problem of regularity of displacement solutions in Hencky plasticity. A non-homogeneous material whose elastic-plastic properties change discontinuously is considered. We find (in an explicit form) the extremal relation between the displacement formulation (defined on the space of bounded deformation) and the stress formulation of the variational problem in Hencky plasticity. This extremal relation is used in the proof of the regularity of displacements. ...

Regularity of minimizers of the calculus of variations in Carnot groups via hypoellipticity of systems of Hörmander type
We prove the hypoellipticity for systems of Hörmander type with constant coefficients in Carnot groups of step 2. This result is used to implement blow-up methods and prove partial regularity for local minimizers of non-convex functionals, and for solutions of non-linear systems which appear in the study of non-isotropic metric structures with scalings. We also establish estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set.
Regularity of optimal shapes for the Dirichlet’s energy with volume constraint
In this paper, we prove some regularity results for the boundary of an open subset of which minimizes the Dirichlet’s energy among all open subsets with prescribed volume. In particular we show that, when the volume constraint is “saturated”, the reduced boundary of the optimal shape (and even the whole boundary in dimension 2) is regular if the state function is nonnegative.

Regularity of optimal transport maps on multiple products of spheres
This article addresses regularity of optimal transport maps for cost=“squared distance” on Riemannian manifolds that are products of arbitrarily many round spheres with arbitrary sizes and dimensions. Such manifolds are known to be non-negatively cross-curved. Under boundedness and non-vanishing assumptions on the transfered source and target densities we show that optimal maps stay away from the cut-locus (where the cost exhibits singularity), and obtain injectivity and continuity of optimal maps....
