Let $\Omega\Subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a domain with smooth boundary, $k\in\mathbb{N}$. It is shown that the integral of a holomorphic function in $L^1(\Omega)$ may be represented as the integral of this function against a smooth function…

We consider shape functionals of the form $F_q(\Omega)=P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $P(\Omega)$ denotes the perimeter of $\Omega$ and $T(\Omega)$ is the torsional…

We show that the quantization of energy for Willmore spheres into closed Riemannian manifolds holds provided that the Willmore energy and the area are uniformly bounded. The analogous energy quantization result holds for Willmore surfaces…

The Willmore energy plays a central role in the conformal geometry of surfaces in the conformal 3-sphere \(S^3\). It also arises as the leading term in variational problems ranging from black holes, to elasticity, and cell biology. In the…

We use gradient Young measures generated by Lipschitz maps to define a relaxation of integral functionals which are allowed to attain the value $+\infty$ and can model ideal locking in elasticity as defined by Prager in 1957. Furthermore,…

The unsigned p-Willmore functional introduced in \cite{mondino2011} generalizes important geometric functionals which measure the area and Willmore energy of immersed surfaces. Presently, techniques from \cite{dziuk2008} are adapted to…

We study a generalized Stokes system with Orlicz growth which is nonstandard in a non-smooth domain. Our purpose is to derive a Calderon-Zygmund type estimate of the gradient of a solution and the pressure to such a system like (1.1) under…

We introduce a notion of generalized Willmore functionals motivated by the Hawking energy of General Relativity and bending energies of membranes. An example of a bending energy is discussed in detail. Using results of Y. Chen and J. Li, we…

For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…

Let $(\mathbb{X} , d, \mu )$ be a proper metric measure space and let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{X}$ be a bounded domain. For each $x\in \Omega$, we choose a radius $0< \varrho (x) \leq \mathrm{dist}(x, \partial \Omega ) $ and let $B_x$ be the…

This paper is devoted to the construction of generalized multi-scale Young measures, which are the extension of Pedregal's multi-scale Young measures [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358 (2006), pp. 591-602] to the setting of generalized Young…

We consider the $L^2$ gradient flow for the Willmore functional in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. In the euclidean case E.\;Kuwert and R.\;Sch\"atzle [\textsl{Gradient flow for the Willmore functional,} Comm. Anal. Geom., 10:…

We present an elementary method of explicit calculation of Young measures for certain class of functions. This class contains in particular functions of a highly oscillatory nature which appear in optimization problems and homogenization…

We prove several characterizations of $\mathscr{C}^{1,\omega}$-domains (aka Lyapunov domains), where $\omega$ is a growth function satisfying natural assumptions. For example, given an Ahlfors regular domain $\Omega\subseteq{\mathbb{R}}^n$,…

In this paper, we study $(p,V)$-harmonic functions on complete Riemannian manifolds using the Moser iteration method. A volume comparison theorem and a Sobolev embedding theorem are established under the Bakry-$\acute{E}$mery curvature…

We consider functions of vanishing mean oscillation on a bounded domain $\Omega$ and prove a $\rm{VMO}$ analogue of the extension theorem of P. Jones for $\rm{BMO}(\Omega)$. We show that if $\Omega$ satisfies the same condition imposed by…

We characterize generalized Young measures, the so-called DiPerna-Majda measures which are generated by sequences of gradients. In particular, we precisely describe these measures at the boundary of the domain in the case of the…
