The present paper is devoted to a theory of profile decomposition for bounded sequences in \emph{homogeneous} Sobolev spaces, and it enables us to analyze the lack of compactness of bounded sequences. For every bounded sequence in…

We prove density of smooth functions in subspaces of Sobolev- and higher order $BV$-spaces of kind $W^{m,p}(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$ and $BV^m(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$, respectively, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$)…

In this paper, I propose some problems, of topological nature, on the energy functional associated to the Dirichlet problem -\Delta u = f(x,u) in Omega, u restricted to the boundary of Omega is 0. Positive answers to these problems would…

We establish a general weak* lower semicontinuity result in the space $\BD(\Omega)$ of functions of bounded deformation for functionals of the form $$\Fcal(u) := \int_\Omega f \bigl(x, \Ecal u \bigr) \dd x + \int_\Omega f^\infty \Bigl(x,…

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

We study the following question: Given an open set $\Omega$, symmetric about 0, and a continuous, integrable, positive definite function $f$, supported in $\Omega$ and with $f(0)=1$, how large can $\int f$ be? This problem has been studied…

For $\Omega$ varying among open bounded sets in ${\mathbb R} ^n$, we consider shape functionals $J (\Omega)$ defined as the infimum over a Sobolev space of an integral energy of the kind $\int _\Omega[ f (\nabla u) + g (u) ]$, under…

Let $\Omega$ be an open, simply connected, and bounded region in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\geq2$, and assume its boundary $\partial\Omega$ is smooth. Consider solving an elliptic partial differential equation $Lu=f$ over $\Omega$ with zero…

In this note we will show a Calder\'on--Zygmund decomposition associated with a function $f\in L^1(\mathbb{T}^{\omega})$. The idea relies on an adaptation of a more general result by J. L. Rubio de Francia in the setting of locally compact…

Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu$ be a nonatomic finite measure on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ containing the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. We say $\mu$ is weakly outer regular, if for every $A \in \Sigma$ and $\epsilon>0$, there…
