This paper is devoted to the autonomous Lagrange problem of the calculus of variations with a discontinuous Lagrangian. We prove that every minimizer is Lipschitz continuous if the Lagrangian is coercive and locally bounded. The main…

For two real numbers $c>0, \alpha> -1,$ we study some spectral properties of the weighted finite bilateral Laplace transform operator, defined over the space $E=L^2(I,\omega_{\alpha}),$ $I=[-1,1],$ $\omega_{\alpha}(x)=(1-x^2)^{\alpha},$ by…

We study extremal functions for a family of Poincar\'e-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical $p\geq 2$, the quotient ${\|\nabla u\|_2}/{\|u\|_p}$ among all $u \in H^1(B)\setminus\{0\}$ with…

Standard large deviation estimates or the use of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation reduce the analysis of the distribution of the overlap parameters essentially to that of an explicitly known random function $\Phi_{N,\b}$ on $\R^M$.…

For a real c\`{a}dl\`{a}g function f and a positive constant c we find another c\`{a}dl\`{a}g function, which has the smallest total variation pos- sible among all functions uniformly approximating f with accuracy c/2. The solution is…

Let $U\not\equiv \pm\infty$ be the difference of subharmonic functions, i.e., a $\delta$-subharmonic function, on a closed disc of radius $R$ centered at zero. In the preceding first part of our paper, we obtained general estimates for the…

We consider a metric graph consisting of two edges, one of which has length $\varepsilon$ which we send to zero. On this graph we study the resolvent and spectrum of the Laplacian subject to a general vertex condition at the connecting…

Let $H=-\Delta+V$, where $V$ is a real valued potential on $\R^2$ satisfying $|V(x)|\les \la x\ra^{-3-}$. We prove that if zero is a regular point of the spectrum of $H=-\Delta+V$, then $$ \|w^{-1} e^{itH}P_{ac}f\|_{L^\infty(\R^2)}\les…

In this paper, we consider minimizers of integral functionals of the type \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u):= \int_\Omega \dfrac{1}{p} \bigl( |Du(x)|_{\gamma(x)}-1\bigr)_+^p \ \mathrm{d}x, \end{equation*} for $p >1$, where $u : \Omega…

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing functionals of the form $E(u)=\int_B f(x,\nabla u) \,dx$ in a suitably prepared class of incompressible, planar maps $u: B \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. Here, $B$ is the unit disk and…

For any $n\ge 2$, $\Omega\subset\rn$, and any given convex and coercive Hamiltonian function $H\in C^{0}(\rn)$, we find an optimal sufficient condition on $H$, that is, for any $c\in\mathbb R$, the level set $H^{-1}(c)$ does not contains…

Let (M^n, g) be a closed smooth Riemannian spin manifold and denote by D its Atiyah-Singer-Dirac operator. We study the variation of Riemannian metrics for the zeta function and functional determinant of D^2, and prove finiteness of the…

We show that optimal $L^2$-convergence in the finite element method on quasi-uniform meshes can be achieved if, for some $s_0 > 1/2$, the boundary value problem has the mapping property $H^{-1+s} \rightarrow H^{1+s}$ for $s \in [0,s_0]$.…

We present a new approach (distinct from Gel'fand-Levitan) to the theorem of Borg-Marchenko that the m-function (equivalently, spectral measure) for a finite interval or half-line Schr\"odinger operator determines the potential. Our…

We shall present a measure theoretical approach for which together with the Kantorovich duality provide an efficient tool to study the optimal transport problem. Specifically, we study the support of optimal plans where the cost function…

Following the method of Froese and Herbst, we show for a class of potentials V that an eigenfunction $\psi$ with eigenvalue E of the multi-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator H = $\Delta$ + V on \mathbb{Z}^d decays sub-exponentially…

We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ on a cube $M\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$, with periodic or Dirichlet (simple) boundary conditions. We use a hidden landscape function $u$, defined as the solution of an inhomogeneous…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ on the $n-$torus $T^n$ and a rotation vector $k\in R^n$, we ask wether there exists a minimizer to the integral $\int_{T^n} |\grad\phi+k|^2 d\mu$. This problem leads, naturally, to a class of elliptic PDE…

In this note, we prove weighted resolvent estimates for the semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator $-h^2 \Delta + V(x) : L^2(\mathbb{R}^n) \to L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $n \neq 2$. The potential $V$ is real-valued, and assumed to either decay at…
