Regularity of minimizers of the calculus of variations in Carnot groups via hypoellipticity of systems of Hörmander type

Luca Capogna, Nicola Garofalo (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove the hypoellipticity for systems of Hörmander type with constant coefficients in Carnot groups of step 2. This result is used to implement blow-up methods and prove partial regularity for local minimizers of non-convex functionals, and for solutions of non-linear systems which appear in the study of non-isotropic metric structures with scalings. We also establish estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set.

Revisiting the construction of gap functions for variational inequalities and equilibrium problems via conjugate duality

Liana Cioban, Ernö Csetnek (2013)

Open Mathematics

Based on conjugate duality we construct several gap functions for general variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, in the formulation of which a so-called perturbation function is used. These functions are written with the help of the Fenchel-Moreau conjugate of the functions involved. In case we are working in the convex setting and a regularity condition is fulfilled, these functions become gap functions. The techniques used are the ones considered in [Altangerel L., Boţ R.I., Wanka...
