In this paper we consider minimizers for nonlocal energy functionals generalizing elastic energies that are connected with the theory of peridynamics \cite{Silling2000} or nonlocal diffusion models \cite{Rossi}. We derive nonlocal versions…

We introduce a new variational method for the study of stability in the isoperimetric inequality. The method is quite general as it relies on a penalization technique combined with the regularity theory for quasiminimizers of the perimeter.…

We prove the existence of minimizers of causal variational principles on second countable, locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Moreover, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are derived. The method is to first prove the existence of…

We prove existence and uniqueness of minimizers for a family of energy functionals that arises in Elasticity and involves polyconvex integrands over a certain subset of displacement maps. This work extends previous results by Awi and Gangbo…

We establish a regularity result for optimal sets of the isoperimetric problem with double density under mild ($\alpha$-)H\"older regularity assumptions on the density functions. Our main Theorem improves some previous results and allows to…

We prove the existence of a second positive weak solution for mixed local-nonlocal critical semilinear elliptic problems with a sublinear perturbation in the spirit of [Ambrosetti, Brezis, Cerami, 1994].

We first take into account variational problems with periodic boundary conditions, and briefly recall some sufficient conditions for a periodic solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation to be either a directional, a weak, or a strong local…

In this paper we study a new model for patterns in two dimensions, inspired by diblock copolymer melts with a dominant phase. The model is simple enough to be amenable not only to numerics but also to analysis, yet sophisticated enough to…

We study a multiobjective variational problem on time scales. For this problem, necessary and sufficient conditions for weak local Pareto optimality are given. We also prove a necessary optimality condition for the isoperimetric problem…

We study the curl-div-system with variable coefficients and a nonlocal homogenisation problem associated with it. Using, in part refining, techniques from nonlocal $H$-convergence for closed Hilbert complexes, we define the appropriate…

We show that, for a fixed order $\gamma\geq 1$, each local minimizer of a rather general nonsmooth optimization problem in Euclidean spaces is either M-stationary in the classical sense (corresponding to stationarity of order $1$),…

In this paper we study pattern formation for a physical local/nonlocal interaction functional where the local attractive term is given by the $1$-perimeter and the nonlocal repulsive term is the Yukawa (or screened Coulomb) potential. This…

We study asymptotic behavior of the bottom point of the spectrum of convolution type operators in environments with locally periodic microstructure. We show that its limit is described by an additive eigenvalue problem for Hamilton-Jacobi…

In this short note, we discuss how the optimality conditions for the problem of minimizing a multivariate function subject to equality constraints have been dealt with in undergraduate Calculus. We are particularly interested in the 2 or…

The spectral problem for an infinite periodic medium perturbed by a compact defect is considered. For a high contrast small $\ve$-size periodicity and a finite size defect we consider the critical $\ve^2$-scaling for the contrast. We employ…
