Density estimates for a nonlocal variational model via the Sobolev inequality

Analysis of PDEs 2011-04-01 v1

Abstract

We consider the minimizers of the energy uHs(Ω)2+ΩW(u)dx, \|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}^2+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, with s(0,1/2)s \in (0,1/2), where uHs(Ω)\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)} denotes the total contribution from Ω\Omega in the HsH^s norm of uu, and WW is a double-well potential. By using a fractional Sobolev inequality, we give a new proof of the fact that the sublevel sets of a minimizer uu in a large ball BRB_R occupy a volume comparable with the volume of BRB_R.
