Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an uncountable field of characteristic zero and let $f$ be a function from $\mathbb{K}^n$ to $\mathbb{K}$. We show that if the restriction of $f$ to every affine plane $L\subset\mathbb{K}^n$ is regular, then $f$ is a…

Free energy functionals of Ginzburg-Landau type lie at the heart of a broad class of continuum dynamical models, such as the Cahn-Hilliard and Swift-Hohenberg equations. Despite the wide use of such models, the assumptions embodied in the…

In this paper we prove a partial $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity result in dimension $N=2$ for the optimal $p$-compliance problem, extending for $p\not = 2$ some of the results obtained by A. Chambolle, J. Lamboley, A. Lemenant, E. Stepanov…

We provide several equivalent characterizations of locally flat, $d$-Ahlfors regular, uniformly rectifiable sets $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density close to $1$ for any dimension $d \in \mathbb{N}$ with $1 \le d \le n-1$. In particular, we…

The study of singular perturbations of the Dirichlet energy is at the core of the phenomenological-description paradigm in soft condensed matter. Being able to pass to the limit plays a crucial role in the understanding of the…
