Turnpike properties of approximate solutions of autonomous variational problems
In this work we study the structure of approximate solutions of autonomous variational problems with a lower semicontinuous strictly convex integrand : , where is the -dimensional euclidean space. We obtain a full description of the structure of the approximate solutions which is independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals.
We study a variational problem which was introduced by Hannon, Marcus and Mizel [ (2003) 145–149] to describe step-terraces on surfaces of so-called “unorthodox” crystals. We show that there is no nondegenerate intervals on which the absolute value of a minimizer is identically.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s surface physicists/metallurgists such as Herring and Mullins applied ingenious thermodynamic arguments to explain a number of experimentally observed surface phenomena in crystals. These insights permitted the successful engineering of a large number of alloys, where the major mathematical novelty was that the surface response to external stress was anisotropic. By examining step/terrace (vicinal) surface defects it was discovered through lengthy and tedious experiments...
