In this paper we study a local and a non-local regularization of the system of nonlinear elastodynamics with a non-convex energy. We show that solutions of the non-local model converge to those of the local model in a certain regime. The…
We show that the lower-semicontinuous envelope of a non-convex double integral may not admit a representation as a double integral. By taking an integrand with value $+\infty$ except at three points (say $-1$, $0$ and $1$) we give a simple…
We study two notions of concentration for homogeneous polynomials of degree $N$ in $d+1$ complex variables on the unit sphere: a local notion measuring the fraction of the $L^2$-norm supported on a measurable subset; and a global notion…
We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…
Although the \emph{residual method}, or \emph{constrained regularization}, is frequently used in applications, a detailed study of its properties is still missing. This sharply contrasts the progress of the theory of Tikhonov…
We give an extension of the theory of relaxation of variational integrals in classical Sobolev spaces to the setting of metric Sobolev spaces. More precisely, we establish a general framework to deal with the problem of finding an integral…
This article provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the question posed by W.Schmid in [Sch]. A corresponding problem in the compact group setting was solved by…
We consider the Landau equation with Coulomb potential in the spatially homogeneous case. We show short time propagation of smallness in $L^p$ norms for $p>3/2$ and instantaneous regularization in Sobolev spaces. This yields new short time…
We study variational problems involving nonlocal supremal functionals $L^\infty(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m) \ni u\mapsto {\rm ess sup}_{(x,y)\in \Omega\times \Omega} W(u(x), u(y)),$ where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded, open set and…
The fundamental relaxation result for Lipschitz differential inclusions is the Filippov-Wazewski Relaxation Theorem, which provides approximations of trajectories of a relaxed inclusion on finite intervals. A complementary result is…
The Lov\'asz Local Lemma (the LLL for short) is a powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics that is used to verify the existence of combinatorial objects with desirable properties. Recent years saw the development of various…
We study relaxation of nonconvex integrals of the calculus of variations in the setting of Cheeger-Sobolev spaces when the integrand has not polynomial growth and can take infinite values.
This article presents an arithmetic, called superposition relaxation, for bracketing the graph of a multivariate factorable function on a compact domain between a pair of underestimating and overestimating functions that are both separable.…
In stochastic optimization, particularly in evolutionary computation and reinforcement learning, the optimization of a function $f: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is often addressed through optimizing a so-called relaxation $\theta \in \Theta…
We consider positivity conditions both for real-valued functions of several complex variables and for Hermitian forms. We prove a stabilization theorem relating these two notions, and give some applications to proper mappings between balls…
By using some recent results for divergence form equations, we study the $L_p$-solvability of second-order elliptic and parabolic equations in nondivergence form for any $p\in (1,\infty)$. The leading coefficients are assumed to be in…
In this short note we have proved an enhanced version of a theorem of Lorentz [1] and its generalization to the multivariate case which gives a non- uniform estimate of degree of approximation by a polynomial with positive coefficients. The…
Multilinear $L^p$ extrapolation results are established in a limited-range, multilinear, and off-diagonal setting for mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces over $\sigma$-finite measure spaces. Integrability exponents are allowed in the full range…
This paper studies the inclusions between different Sobolev-Lorentz spaces $W^{1,(p,q)}(\Omega)$ defined on open sets $\Omega \subset {\mathbf{R}^n},$ where $n \ge 1$ is an integer, $1<p<\infty$ and $1 \le q \le \infty.$ We prove that if $1…
We show how to infer sharp partial regularity results for relaxed minimizers of degenerate, nonuniformly elliptic quasiconvex functionals, using tools from Nonlinear Potential Theory. In particular, in the setting of functionals with…
