Let $V$ be a locally bounded measurable function such that $e^{-V}$ is bounded and belongs to $L^1(dx)$, and let $\mu_V(dx):=C_V e^{-V(x)} dx$ be a probability measure. We present the criterion for the weighted Poincar\'{e} inequality of…

Local solutions for variational and quasi-variational inequalities are usually the best type of solutions that could practically be obtained when in case of lack of convexity or else when available numerical techniques are too limited for…
We study a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems which involves a convolution operator as well as a superlinear nonlinearity. Our variational existence proof is based on constrained optimization and provides a one-parameter family of…
We obtain the comparison principle for discontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations, with superlinear and coercive gradient terms. The nonlocal terms are integro-differential operators in L\'evy…
We analyze two recently proposed methods to establish a priori lower bounds on the minimum of general integral variational problems. The methods, which involve either `occupation measures' or a `pointwise dual relaxation' procedure, are…

In this paper, a class of nonlocal fractional Dirichlet problems is studied. By using a variational principle due to Ricceri (whose original version was given in J. Comput. Appl. Math. 113 (2000), 401-410), the existence of infinitely many…
