We consider minimization problems in the calculus of variations set in a sequence of domains the size of which tends to infinity in certain directions and such that the data only depend on the coordinates in the directions that remain…
We discuss variational problems on two-dimensional domains with energy densities of linear growth and with radially symmetric data. The smoothness of generalized minimizers is established under rather weak ellipticity assumptions. Further…
In any dimension $N \geq 1$, for given mass $m > 0$ and for the $C^1$ energy functional \begin{equation*} I(u):=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(u)dx, \end{equation*} we revisit the classical problem of…
We show certain rigidity for minimizers of generalized Colding-Minicozzi entropies. The proofs are elementary and work even in situations where the generalized entropies are not monotone along mean curvature flow.
Regularity results for minimal configurations of variational problems involving both bulk and surface energies and subject to a volume constraint are established. The bulk energies are convex functions with p-power growth, but are otherwise…
We show the H\"older continuity of quasiminimizers of the energy functionals $\int f(x,u,\nabla u)\,dx$ with nonstandard growth under the general structure conditions $$ |z|^{p(x)} - b(x)|y|^{r(x)}-g(x) \leq f(x,y,z) \leq \mu|z|^{p(x)} +…

We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_\Omega(u) := \int_\Omega B(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this…
In this paper, we prove several rigidity results for compact initial data sets, in both the boundary and no boundary cases. In particular, under natural energy, boundary, and topological conditions, we obtain a global version of the main…
