Stability results for some nonlinear elliptic equations involving the p-Laplacian with critical Sobolev growth
This article is devoted to the study of a perturbation with a viscosity term in an elliptic equation involving the p-Laplacian operator and related to the best contant problem in Sobolev inequalities in the critical case. We prove first that this problem, together with the equation, is stable under this perturbation, assuming some conditions on the datas. In the next section, we show that the zero solution is strongly isolated in some sense, among the space of the solutions. Actually, we end the...
Stationary configurations for the average distance functional and related problems
Structure of stable solutions of a one-dimensional variational problem
We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem. The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller which concerns the structure of global minimizer. The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the competition between the effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures. With a special choice of a bilinear double...

Sufficient optimality conditions and semi-smooth newton methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities
In this paper sufficient second order optimality conditions for optimal control problems subject to stationary variational inequalities of obstacle type are derived. Since optimality conditions for such problems always involve measures as Lagrange multipliers, which impede the use of efficient Newton type methods, a family of regularized problems is introduced. Second order sufficient optimality conditions are derived for the regularized problems...

Sufficient optimality conditions for multivariable control problems
We study optimal control problems for partial differential equations (focusing on the multidimensional differential equation) with control functions in the Dirichlet boundary conditions under pointwise control (and we admit state - by assuming weak hypotheses) constraints.

Symmetry analysis of the cylindrical Laplace equation.
Symmetry of minimizers with a level surface parallel to the boundary
We consider the functional where is a bounded domain and is a convex function. Under general assumptions on , Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if admits a minimizer in depending only on the distance from the boundary of , then must be a ball. With some restrictions on , we prove that spherical symmetry can be obtained only by assuming that the minimizer has one level surface parallel to the boundary (i.e. it has only a level surface in common with the distance). We then discuss how these...

The H–1-norm of tubular neighbourhoods of curves
We study the H–1-norm of the function 1 on tubular neighbourhoods of curves in . We take the limit of small thicknessε, and we prove two different asymptotic results. The first is an asymptotic development for a fixed curve in the limit ε → 0, containing contributions from the length of the curve (at order ε3), the ends (ε4), and the curvature (ε5). The second result is a Γ-convergence result, in which the central curve may vary along the sequence ε → 0. We prove that a rescaled version of the...
