We study shadowing-type properties for set-valued dynamical systems. In particular, we investigate the periodic shadowing property and its relationship with expansivity and chain transitivity. We establish that for positively expansive…

Motivated by Mather theory of minimizing measures for symplectic twist dynamics, we study conformally symplectic flows on a cotangent bundle. These dynamics are the most general dynamics for which it makes sense to look at (asymptotic)…

In this paper we will explore fundamental constraints on the evolution of certain symplectic subvolumes possessed by any Hamiltonian phase space. This research has direct application to optimal control and control of conservative mechanical…

In this note our aim is to give a proof of the Pontryagin maximum principle for a general optimal control problem with running state constraints and smooth dynamics. Our proof is based on the classical Ekeland variational principle. The…

B.-Y. Chen famously conjectured that every submanifold of Euclidean space with harmonic mean curvature vector is minimal. In this note we establish a much more general statement for a large class of submanifolds satisfying a growth…

In this paper, we first investigate an abstract subdifferential for which (using Ekeland's variational principle) we can prove an analog of the Br{\o}ndsted-Rockafellar property. We introduce the "$r_L$-density" of a subset of the product…

The restricted strong convexity is an effective tool for deriving globally linear convergence rates of descent methods in convex minimization. Recently, the global error bound and quadratic growth properties appeared as new competitors. In…

We consider a shape optimization problem for the persistence threshold of a biological species dispersing in a periodically fragmented environment, the unknown shape corresponding to the portion of the habitat which is favorable to the…

We introduce nonlocal minimal surfaces on closed manifolds and establish a far-reaching Yau-type result: in every closed, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold we construct infinitely many nonlocal $s$-minimal surfaces. We prove that, when…

In the setting of real vector spaces, we establish a general set-valued Ekeland variational principle (briefly, denoted by EVP), where the objective function is a set-valued map taking values in a real vector space quasi-ordered by a convex…

In this paper we compare the dimensional method with the Lie groups tactic in order to show the limitations and advantages of each technique. For this purpose we study in detail a perfect fluid cosmological model with time-varying…

In this article we extend several foundational results of the theory of complete minimal surfaces of finite index in the Euclidean space to minimal surfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds and, more generally, to marginally outer-trapped…

Inspired by a Blaschke's work about analytic convex surfaces, we study {\em shadow boundaries} of Riemannian submanifolds $M$, which are defined by a parallel vector field along $M$. Since a shadow boundary is just a closed subset of $M$,…

Ioffe's criterion and various reformulations of it have become a~standard tool in proving theorems guaranteeing metric regularity of a (set-valued) mapping. First, we demonstrate that one should always use directly the so-called general…
