We study the slicing and fine properties of functions in $\mathrm{BV}^{\mathcal A}$, the space of functions with bounded $\mathcal A$-variation. Here, $\mathcal A$ is a homogeneous linear differential operator with constant coefficients (of…

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 existence of minimizers of the least gradient problem \[\inf_{v \in BV_g} \int_{\Omega}\varphi(x, Dv),\] where $BV_g=\{v \in BV(\Omega): \int_{\partial \Omega}gv=1\}$, $\varphi(x,p): \Omega\times \R^n \rightarrow \R$ is a convex,…

We generalize the phenomenon of continuation from complex anal- ysis to locally operator monotone functions. Along the lines of the egde-of- the-wedge theorem, we prove continuations exist dependent only on geometric features of the domain…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ be a chord arc domain. We give a simple proof of the the following fact, which is commonly known to be true: a nontrivial harmonic function which vanishes continuously on a relatively open set of the boundary…

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 prove that the shape optimization problem $$\min\left\{\lambda_k(\Omega):\ \Omega\subset\R^d,\ \Omega\ \hbox{open},\ P(\Omega)=1,\ |\Omega|<+\infty\right\},$$ has a solution for any $k\in\N$ and dimension $d$. Moreover,…

Wang and Ye conjectured in [22]: Let $\Omega$ be a regular, bounded and convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. There exists a finite constant $C({\Omega})>0$ such that \[ \int_{\Omega}e^{\frac{4\pi u^{2}}{H_{d}(u)}}dxdy\le C(\Omega),\;\;\forall…

Recently the characterization of the compactness in the space $BV([0,1])$ of functions of bounded Jordan variation was given. Here, certain generalizations of this result are given for the spaces of functions of bounded Waterman…

Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain. In this paper, we prove a result of which the following is a by-product: Let $q\in ]0,1[$, $\alpha\in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, with $\alpha>0$, and $k\in {\bf N}$. Then, the problem…

In this article we study functionals of the following type $$ \int_{\Omega} \Big ( \langle A(x,u)\nabla u, \nabla u\rangle + \Lambda (x,u) \Big )\,dx $$ here $A(x,u)= A_+(x)\chi_{\{u>0\}}+A_-(x) \chi _{\{u\leq 0\}}$ for some elliptic and…

This paper is concerned with developing a theory of traces for functions that are integrable but need not possess any differentiability within their domain. Moreover, the domain can have an irregular boundary with cusp-like features and…

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 show existence of a trace for functions of bounded variation on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. The trace, which is bounded in $L^\infty$, is reached via $L^1$-convergence and allows an integration by parts formula. We…

In this paper, we study functions of bounded variation on a complete and connected metric space with finite one-dimensional Hausdorff measure. The definition of BV functions on a compact interval based on pointwise variation is extended to…

In this note we prove that on metric measure spaces, functions of least gradient, as well as local minimizers of the area functional (after modification on a set of measure zero) are continuous everywhere outside their jump sets. As a tool,…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ be an open set. Given a boundary datum $g$ on $\partial\Omega$ and a function $K:\bar {\Omega} \to\mathcal{K}$, the family of all compact convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, we prove the existence of…

We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

We use localized topologies to prove existence and optimal regularity results for the divergence equation $\mathrm{div} (v) = F$ in critical cases $v \in L_1(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$ or $v \in C_0(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$, i.e. we characterize…
