We prove necessary optimality conditions, in the class of continuous functions, for variational problems defined with Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. The fractional basic problem of the calculus of variations with free…

Drawing on well-known results from the theory of canonical extensions and the theory of categories enriched over a quantale, we define canonical extensions of quantale-enriched categories and establish their basic properties.

We consider Betti numbers of the excursion of a smooth Euclidean Gaussian field restricted to a rectangular window, in the asymptotics where the window grows to R^d . With motivations coming from Topological Data Analysis, we derive a…

The equations for the critical points of the action functional defined by a Lagrangian depending on higher-order derivatives of admissible curves on a Lie algebroid are found. The relation with Euler-Poincar\'e and Lagrange Poincar\'e type…

We establish some existence results for a class of critical $N$-Laplacian problems in a bounded domain in ${\mathbb R}^N$. In the absence of a suitable direct sum decomposition, we use an abstract linking theorem based on the ${\mathbb…

We give criteria for the existence of a Serre functor on the derived category of a gauged Landau-Ginzburg model. This is used to provide a general theorem on the existence of an admissible (fractional) Calabi-Yau subcategory of a gauged…

The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…

We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

The categorical models of the differential lambda-calculus are additive categories because of the Leibniz rule which requires the summation of two expressions. This means that, as far as the differential lambda-calculus and differential…

Tangent categories provide a categorical axiomatization of the tangent bundle. There are many interesting examples and applications of tangent categories in a variety of areas such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, algebra, and…

In this article we extend the theory of lax monoidal structures, also known as multitensors, and the monads on categories of enriched graphs that they give rise to. Our first principal result -- the lifting theorem for multitensors --…

In this paper we prove existence and multiplicity results of unbounded critical points for a general class of weakly lower semicontinuous functionals. We will apply a suitable nonsmooth critical point theory.

In this paper we show that if $\mathscr{C}$ is a tangent category then the Ind-category $\operatorname{Ind}(\mathscr{C})$ is a tangent category as well with a tangent structure which locally looks like the tangent structure on…

We study a functional that derives from the classical Yang-Mills functional and Born-Infeld theory. We establish its first variation formula and prove the existence of critical points. We also obtain the second variation formula.
