We consider nonparametric functional regression when both predictors and responses are functions. More specifically, we let $(X_1,Y_1),...,(X_n,Y_n)$ be random elements in $\mathcal{F}\times\mathcal{H}$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is a semi-metric…

We study existence, unicity and other geometric properties of the minimizers of the energy functional $$ \|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, $$ where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$…

In this paper, we prove the following result: Let $(H,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)$ be a real Hilbert space, $B$ a ball in $H$ centered at $0$ and $\Phi:B\to H$ a $C^{1,1}$ function, with $\Phi(0)\neq 0$, such that the function $x\to \langle…

Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such that $$\alpha^*:=\max\left…

We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first…

We provide a general treatment of perturbations of a class of functionals modeled on convolution energies with integrable kernel which approximate the $p$-th norm of the gradient as the kernel is scaled by letting a small parameter…

We get a new multiplicity result for gradient systems. Here is a very particular corollary: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) be a smooth bounded domain and let $\Phi:{\bf R}^2\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ function, with $\Phi(0,0)=0$,…

In this paper, we investigate the minimization problem : $$ \inf_{ \displaystyle{\begin{array}{lll} u \in H_0^1(\Omega), v \in H_0^1(\Omega),\\ \quad \| u \|_{L^{q}} =1, \quad \| v \|_{L^{q}} = 1 \end{array}}} \left[ \frac{1}{2}…

We study the minimizers of a functional on the set of partitions of a domain $\Omega \subset R^n$ into $N$ subsets $W_j$ of locally finite perimeter in $\Omega$, whose main term is $\sum_{j=1^N} \int_{\Omega \cap \partial W_j} a(x)…

We consider first order local minimization problems of the form $\min \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}f(u,\nabla u)$ under a mass constraint $\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}u=m$. We prove that the minimal energy function $H(m)$ is always concave, and that relevant…
