On Conditions for Unrectifiability of a Metric Space

Piotr Hajłasz, Soheil Malekzadeh (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lipschitz map f : E ⊂ ℝk → X into a metric space to satisfy ℋk(f(E)) = 0. An interesting feature of our approach is that despite the fact that we are dealing with arbitrary metric spaces, we employ a variant of the classical implicit function theorem. Applications include pure unrectifiability of the Heisenberg groups.

On some recent developments of the theory of sets of finite perimeter

Luigi Ambrosio (2003)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper we describe some recent progress on the theory of sets of finite perimeter, currents, and rectifiability in metric spaces. We discuss the relation between intrinsic and extrinsic theories for rectifiability

On the Representation of Effective Energy Densities

Christopher J. Larsen (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the question raised in [1] of whether relaxed energy densities involving both bulk and surface energies can be written as a sum of two functions, one depending on the net gradient of admissible functions, and the other on net singular part. We show that, in general, they cannot. In particular, if the bulk density is quasiconvex but not convex, there exists a convex and homogeneous of degree 1 function of the jump such that there is no such representation.

Optimal transportation networks as free Dirichlet regions for the Monge-Kantorovich problem

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Eugene Stepanov (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In the paper the problem of constructing an optimal urban transportation network in a city with given densities of population and of workplaces is studied. The network is modeled by a closed connected set of assigned length, while the optimality condition consists in minimizing the Monge-Kantorovich functional representing the total transportation cost. The cost of trasporting a unit mass between two points is assumed to be proportional to the distance between them when the transportation is carried...
