On the Representation of Effective Energy Densities
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.

On the stabilization problem for nonholonomic distributions
Let be a smooth connected complete manifold of dimension , and be a smooth nonholonomic distribution of rank on . We prove that if there exists a smooth Riemannian metric on1for which no nontrivial singular path is minimizing, then there exists a smooth repulsive stabilizing section of on . Moreover, in dimension three, the assumption of the absence of singular minimizing horizontal paths can be dropped in the Martinet case. The proofs are based on the study, using specific results of...

On torsional rigidity and principal frequencies: an invitation to the Kohler−Jobin rearrangement technique
We generalize to the p-Laplacian Δp a spectral inequality proved by M.-T. Kohler−Jobin. As a particular case of such a generalization, we obtain a sharp lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of Δp of a set in terms of its p-torsional rigidity. The result is valid in every space dimension, for every 1 < p < ∞ and for every open set with finite measure. Moreover, it holds by replacing the first eigenvalue with more general optimal Poincaré-Sobolev constants. The method of proof...
On variations of the shape Hessian and sufficient conditions for the stability of critical shapes.
Para el estudio de la naturaleza de formas críticas en optimización de formas se requieren algunas propiedades de continuidad sobre las derivadas de segundo orden de las formas. Dado que la fórmula de Taylor-Young involucra a diferentes topologías que no son equivalentes, dicha fórmula no permite deducir cuando una forma crítica es un mínimo local estricto de la función forma pese a que su Hessiano sea definido positivo en ese punto. El resultado principal de este trabajo ofrece una cota superior...

Optimal control problems on parallelizable riemannian manifolds : theory and applications
The motivation for this work is the real-time solution of a standard optimal control problem arising in robotics and aerospace applications. For example, the trajectory planning problem for air vehicles is naturally cast as an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of the Lie Group which is also a parallelizable riemannian manifold. For an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of such a manifold, we use frame co-ordinates and obtain first-order necessary conditions employing calculus...

The motivation for this work is the real-time solution of a standard optimal control problem arising in robotics and aerospace applications. For example, the trajectory planning problem for air vehicles is naturally cast as an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of the Lie Group SE(3), which is also a parallelizable Riemannian manifold. For an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of such a manifold, we use frame co-ordinates and obtain first-order necessary conditions...
