Lagrange multipliers and geometric measure theory
Lepage forms theory applied
In the presented paper we apply the theory of Lepage forms on jet prolongations of fibred manifold with one-dimensional base to the relativistic mechanics. Using this geometrical theory, we obtain and discuss some well-known conservation laws in their general form and apply them to a concrete physical example.
Limiti di problemi di Dirichlet nonlineari in domini variabili
Si studia il comportamento limite di successioni di problemi variazionali nonlineari con condizioni al contorno di Dirichlet su aperti variabili. I principali strumenti usati in questa ricerca sono le nozioni di -convergenza e di -capacità nonlineare.

Local minimizers with vortex filaments for a Gross-Pitaevsky functional
This paper gives a rigorous derivation of a functional proposed by Aftalion and Rivière [Phys. Rev. A64 (2001) 043611] to characterize the energy of vortex filaments in a rotationally forced Bose-Einstein condensate. This functional is derived as a Γ-limit of scaled versions of the Gross-Pitaevsky functional for the wave function of such a condensate. In most situations, the vortex filament energy functional is either unbounded below or has only trivial minimizers, but we establish the existence...
Local semiconvexity of Kantorovich potentials on non-compact manifolds
We prove that any Kantorovich potential for the cost function c = d2/2 on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is locally semiconvex in the “region of interest”, without any compactness assumption on M, nor any assumption on its curvature. Such a region of interest is of full μ-measure as soon as the starting measure μ does not charge n – 1-dimensional rectifiable sets.

Lower semicontinuity and relaxation results in BV for integral functionals with BV integrands
New -lower semicontinuity and relaxation results for integral functionals defined in BV() are proved, under a very weak dependence of the integrand with respect to the spatial variable . More precisely, only the lower semicontinuity in the sense of the -capacity is assumed in order to obtain the lower semicontinuity of the functional. This condition is satisfied, for instance, by the lower approximate limit of the integrand, if it is BV with respect to . Under this further BV dependence, a...
Lower semicontinuity and relaxation results in BV for integral functionals with BV integrands
New L1-lower semicontinuity and relaxation results for integral functionals defined in BV(Ω) are proved, under a very weak dependence of the integrand with respect to the spatial variable x. More precisely, only the lower semicontinuity in the sense of the 1-capacity is assumed in order to obtain the lower semicontinuity of the functional. This condition is satisfied, for instance, by the lower approximate limit of the integrand, if it is BV with respect to x. Under this further BV dependence, a...
