We consider an abstract parabolic problem in a framework of maximal monotone graphs, possibly multi-valued with growth conditions formulated with help of an $x-$dependent $N-$function. The main novelty of the paper consists in the lack of…
We investigate a general nonhomogeneous parabolic initial-boundary value problem in some anisotropic H\"ormander inner product spaces. We prove that the operators corresponding to this problem are isomorphisms between appropriate…
Infinite horizon open loop optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations are investigated. The controls are subject to a cost-functional which promotes sparsity in time. The focus is put on deriving first order optimality…
Analysis of the speed of propagation in parabolic operators is frequently carried out considering the minimal speed at which its traveling waves move. This value depends on the solution concept being considered. We analyze an extensive…
A comparison between the two possible variational principles for the study of a free falling spinless particle in a space-time with torsion is noted. It is well known that the autoparallel trajectories can be obtained from a variational…
We introduce a new constructive method for establishing lower bounds on convergence rates of periodic homogenization problems associated with divergence type elliptic operators. The construction is applied in two settings. First, we show…
For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and that the norm of the residual provides an a posteriori error…
For the $N$-centre problem in the three dimensional space, $$ \ddot x = -\sum_{i=1}^{N} \frac{m_i \,(x-c_i)}{\vert x - c_i \vert^{\alpha+2}}, \qquad x \in \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{c_1,\ldots,c_N\}, $$ where $N \geq 2$, $m_i > 0$ and $\alpha…

We prove that for a certain class of closed monotone symplectic manifolds any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point must necessarily have infinitely many periodic orbits. Among the manifolds in this class are complex…
In the variational study of singular Lagrange systems, the zero energy solutions play an important role. In this paper we find a simple way of computing the Morse indices of these solutions for the planar anisotropic Kepler problem. In…
We consider linear inhomogeneous non-autonomous parabolic problems associated to sesquilinear forms, with discontinuous dependence of time. We show that for these problems, the property of maximal parabolic regularity can be extrapolated to…
A boundary value problem related to a parabolic higher order operator with a small parameter is analized. When the small parameter tends to zero, the reduced operator is hyperbolic. When t tends to infinity a parabolic hyperbolic boundary…
In this paper we study the quasilinear nondiagonal parabolic type systems. We assume that the principal elliptic operator, which is part of the parabolic system, has a divergence structure. Under certain conditions it is proved the…
We study periodic billiard trajectories on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, by applying Morse theory to Lagrangian action functionals on the loop space of the manifold. Based on the approximation method due to Benci-Giannoni, we…
