Travelling graphs for the forced mean curvature motion in an arbitrary space dimension

Régis Monneau, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Violaine Roussier-Michon (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We construct travelling wave graphs of the form $z = - c t + φ (x)$ , $φ : x \in ℝ^{N - 1} \mapsto φ (x) \in ℝ$ , $N \geq 2$ , solutions to the $N$ -dimensional forced mean curvature motion $V_{n} = - c_{0} + κ$ ( $c \geq c_{0}$ ) with prescribed asymptotics. For any $1$ -homogeneous function $φ_{\infty}$ , viscosity solution to the eikonal equation $| D φ_{\infty} | = \sqrt{{(c / c_{0})}^{2} - 1}$ , we exhibit a smooth concave solution to the forced mean curvature motion whose asymptotics is driven by $φ_{\infty}$ . We also describe $φ_{\infty}$ in terms of a probability measure on $§^{N - 2}$ .

A geometric problem and the Hopf Lemma. I

Yan Yan Li, Louis Nirenberg (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n$ -dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $ℝ^{n + 1}$ , and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of $M$ in a hyperplane $X_{n + 1} = const$ in case $M$ satisfies: for any two points $(X^{'}, X_{n + 1})$ , $(X^{'}, {\hat{X}}_{n + 1})$ on $M$ , with $X_{n + 1} > {\hat{X}}_{n + 1}$ , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional condition for $n = 1$ ....

A priori estimates for weak solutions of complex Monge-Ampère equations

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $ω$ be a smooth closed form of bidegree $(1, 1)$ which is nonnegative and big. We study the classes $ℰ_{χ} (X, ω)$ of $ω$ -plurisubharmonic functions of finite weighted Monge-Ampère energy. When the weight $χ$ has fast growth at infinity, the corresponding functions are close to be bounded. We show that if a positive Radon measure is suitably dominated by the Monge-Ampère capacity, then it belongs to the range of the Monge-Ampère operator on some class $ℰ_{χ} (X, ω)$ . This is done by...

Hypersurfaces with free boundary and large constant mean curvature: concentration along submanifolds

Mouhamed Moustapha Fall, Fethi Mahmoudi (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Given a domain $Ω$ of $ℝ^{m + 1}$ and a $k$ -dimensional non-degenerate minimal submanifold $K$ of $\partial Ω$ with $1 \leq k \leq m - 1$ , we prove the existence of a family of embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in $Ω$ which as their mean curvature tends to infinity concentrate along $K$ and intersecting $\partial Ω$ perpendicularly along their boundaries.

On a bifurcation problem arising in cholesteric liquid crystal theory

Carlo Greco (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In a cholesteric liquid crystal the director field $n (x, y, z)$ tends to form a right-angle helicoid around a twist axis in order to minimize the internal energy; however, a fixed alignment of the director field at the boundary (strong anchoring) can give rise to distorted configurations of the director field, as oblique helicoid, in order to save energy. The transition to this distorted configurations depend on the boundary conditions and on the geometry of the liquid crystal, and it is known...

Functions with prescribed singularities

Giovanni Alberti, S. Baldo, G. Orlandi (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The distributional $k$ -dimensional Jacobian of a map $u$ in the Sobolev space $W^{1, k - 1}$ which takes values in the sphere $S^{k - 1}$ can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension $k$ carried by (part of) the singularity of $u$ which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary $M$ of codimension $k$ can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in $S^{k - 1}$ . In case $M$ is polyhedral, the...

A symmetry problem in the calculus of variations

Graziano Crasta (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider the integral functional $J (u) = \int_{Ω} [f (| D u |) - u] d x$ , $u \in W_{0}^{1, 1} (Ω)$ , where $Ω \subset ℝ^{n}$ , $n \geq 2$ , is a nonempty bounded connected open subset of $ℝ^{n}$ with smooth boundary, and $ℝ ∋ s \mapsto f (| s |)$ is a convex, differentiable function. We prove that if $J$ admits a minimizer in $W_{0}^{1, 1} (Ω)$ depending only on the distance from the boundary of $Ω$ , then $Ω$ must be a ball.

Mean curvature properties for $p$ -Laplace phase transitions

Berardino Sciunzi, Enrico Valdinoci (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of $p$ -Laplacian type and a double well potential $h_{0}$ with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of $Δ_{p} u = h_{0}^{'} (u)$ possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.

Quasi-polynomial mixing of the 2D stochastic Ising model with “plus” boundary up to criticality

Eyal Lubetzky, Fabio Martinelli, Allan Sly, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We considerably improve upon the recent result of [37] on the mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the 2D Ising model in a box of side $L$ at low temperature and with random boundary conditions whose distribution $P$ stochastically dominates the extremal plus phase. An important special case is when $P$ is concentrated on the homogeneous all-plus configuration, where the mixing time $T_{M I X}$ is conjectured to be polynomial in $L$ . In [37] it was shown that for a large enough inverse-temperature $β$ and...

Optimality of the range for which equivalence between certain measures of smoothness holds

Z. Ditzian (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Recently it was proved for 1 < p < ∞ that $ω^{m} {(f, t)}_{p}$ , a modulus of smoothness on the unit sphere, and $K ̃ ₘ {(f, t^{m})}_{p}$ , a K-functional involving the Laplace-Beltrami operator, are equivalent. It will be shown that the range 1 < p < ∞ is optimal; that is, the equivalence $ω^{m} {(f, t)}_{p} \approx K ̃ ₘ {(f, t^{r})}_{p}$ does not hold either for p = ∞ or for p = 1.

Positivity and anti-maximum principles for elliptic operators with mixed boundary conditions

Catherine Bandle, Joachim von Below, Wolfgang Reichel (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider linear elliptic equations $- Δ u + q (x) u = λ u + f$ in bounded Lipschitz domains $D \subset ℝ^{N}$ with mixed boundary conditions $\partial u / \partial n = σ (x) λ u + g$ on $\partial D$ . The main feature of this boundary value problem is the appearance of $λ$ both in the equation and in the boundary condition. In general we make no assumption on the sign of the coefficient $σ (x)$ . We study positivity principles and anti-maximum principles. One of our main results states that if $σ$ is somewhere negative, $q \geq 0$ and $\int_{D} q (x) d x > 0$ then there exist two eigenvalues $λ_{- 1}$ , $λ_{1}$ such the positivity...

Regularity of stable solutions of $p$ -Laplace equations through geometric Sobolev type inequalities

Daniele Castorina, Manel Sanchón (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish a priori estimates for semistable solutions of $- Δ_{p} u = g (u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $Ω \subset ℝ^{n}$ . In particular, we obtain new $L^{r}$ and $W^{1, r}$ bounds for the extremal solution $u^{☆}$ when the domain is strictly convex. More precisely, we prove that $u^{☆} \in L^{\infty} (Ω)$ if $n \leq p + 2$ and $u^{☆} \in L^{\frac{n p}{n - p - 2}} (Ω) \cap W_{0}^{1, p} (Ω)$ if $n > p + 2$ .

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces $f : Σ \to ℝ^{n}$ , we study the curvature functionals $ℰ^{p} (f)$ and $𝒲^{p} (f)$ with integrands ${(1 + | A |}^{2})^{p / 2}$ and ${(1 + | H |}^{2})^{p / 2}$ , respectively. Here $A$ is the second fundamental form, $H$ is the mean curvature and we assume $p > 2$ . Our main result asserts that $W^{2, p}$ critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for $𝒲^{p}$ -bounded sequences. In the case of $ℰ^{p}$ this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for $𝒲^{p}$ we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below $8 π$ as an additional...

We prove some results in the context of isoperimetric inequalities with quantitative terms. In the $2$ -dimensional case, our main contribution is a method for determining the optimal coefficients $c_{1}, ..., c_{m}$ in the inequality $δ P (E) \geq \sum_{k = 1}^{m} c_{k} α {(E)}^{k} + o (α {(E)}^{m})$ , valid for each Borel set $E$ with positive and finite area, with $δ P (E)$ and $α (E)$ being, respectively, the $𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡$ and the $𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑦$ of $E$ .

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We will consider the following problem $- Δ u - λ \frac{u}{{| x |}^{2}} = {| \nabla u |}^{p} + c f, u > 0 in Ω,$ where $Ω \subset ℝ^{N}$ is a domain such that $0 \in Ω$ , $N \geq 3$ , $c > 0$ and $λ > 0$ . The main objective of this note is to study the precise threshold $p_{+} = p_{+} (λ)$ for which there is novery weak supersolutionif $p \geq p_{+} (λ)$ . The optimality of $p_{+} (λ)$ is also proved by showing the solvability of the Dirichlet problem when $1 \leq p < p_{+} (λ)$ , for $c > 0$ small enough and $f \geq 0$ under some hypotheses that we will prescribe.
