Semi-continuité inférieure d'intégrales multiples et d'intégrandes convergentes

Zhiping Li (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Lower semicontinuity of multiple integrals ∫ and ∫ are studied. It is proved that the two can derive from each other under certain general hypotheses such as uniform lower compactness property and locally uniform convergence of . The result is applied to obtain some general lower semicontinuity theorems on multiple integrals with quasiconvex integrand ƒ, while are not required to be quasiconvex.

Variational approximation of a functional of Mumford–Shah type in codimension higher than one

Francesco Ghiraldin (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a new kind of Mumford–Shah functional () for maps : ℝ → ℝ with  ≥ . The most important novelty is that the energy features a singular set of codimension greater than one, defined through the theory of distributional jacobians. After recalling the basic definitions and some well established results, we prove an approximation property for the energy ()  −convergence, in the same spirit of the work by Ambrosio and Tortorelli [L....

Dimension reduction for functionals on solenoidal vector fields

Stefan Krömer (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in on a thin domain, under standard -growth and coercivity assumptions, 1    ∞. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the Gamma-limit with respect to weak convergence in is always given by the associated functional with convexified energy density wherever it is finite. Remarkably, this happens despite the fact that relaxation of nonconvex functionals subject...

Some aspects of the local theory of generalized Dhombres functional equations in the complex domain

Jörg Tomaschek (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

We study the generalized Dhombres functional equation (()) = (()) in the complex domain. The function is given and we are looking for solutions with (0) =  and is a primitive root of unity of order  ≥ 2. All formal solutions for this case are described in this work, for the situation where can be transformed into a function which is linearizable and local analytic in a neighbourhood...

Upper large deviations for maximal flows through a tilted cylinder

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider the standard first passage percolation model in ℤ for  ≥ 2 and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to and whose height is () for a certain height function . We denote this maximal flow by (respectively ). We emphasize the fact that the cylinder may be tilted. We look at the probability that...

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every  or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...
