Γ):Γ ∈ 𝒜, ℋ1(Γ) = l}, where ℋ1D1,...,Dk } ⊂ Rd . The cost functional ℰ(Γ) is the Dirichlet energy of Γ defined through the Sobolev functions on Γ vanishing on the points Di. We analyze the existence of a solution in both the families of connected sets and of metric graphs. At the end, several explicit examples are discussed.
Using some results proved in De Pascale and Pratelli [Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 14 (2002) 249-274] (and De Pascale et al. [Bull. London Math. Soc. 36 (2004) 383-395]) and a suitable interpolation technique, we show that the transport density relative to an source is also an function for any .

Si presentano alcuni risultati recenti riguardanti la disuguaglianza di Pòlya- Szegö e la caratterizzazione dei casi in cui essa si riduce ad un'uguaglianza. Particolare attenzione viene rivolta alla simmetrizzazione di Steiner di insiemi di perimetro finito e di funzioni di Sobolev.
We study Hamiltonian systems which generate extremal flows of regular variational problems on smooth manifolds and demonstrate that negativity of the generalized curvature of such a system implies the existence of a global smooth optimal synthesis for the infinite horizon problem. We also show that in the Euclidean case negativity of the generalized curvature is a consequence of the convexity of the Lagrangian with respect to the pair of arguments. Finally, we give a generic classification for...
We introduce an intrinsic notion of perimeter for subsets of a general Minkowski space ( a finite dimensional Banach space in which the norm is not required to be even). We prove that this notion of perimeter is equivalent to the usual definition of surface energy for crystals and we study the regularity properties of the minimizers and the quasi-minimizers of perimeter. In the two-dimensional case we obtain optimal regularity results: apart from a singular set (which is -negligible and is empty...

We discuss variational problems for the -Dirichlet integral, non integer, for maps between manifolds, illustrating the role played by the geometry of the target manifold in their weak formulation.
