In this paper, we study the problems of minimizing a functional depending on the Caputo fractional derivative of order $0< \alpha \leq 1$ and the Riemann- Liouville fractional integral of order $\beta >0$ under certain constraints. A…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

In this paper, we establish the existence of the efficient solutions for polynomial vector optimization problems on a nonempty closed constraint set without any convexity and compactness assumptions. We first introduce the relative…

We consider the Cauchy problem for weakly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that in general one has to impose Levi conditions to get $C^\infty$…

We consider approximations of a continuous function on a countable normed Fr\'{e}chet space by analytic and $*$-analytic. Also we found a criterium of the existence of an extension of a continuous function from a dense subspace of a…

In this paper, we give some {\L}ojasiewicz-type inequalities and a nonsmooth slope inequality on non-compact domains for continuous definable functions in an o-minimal structure. We also give a necessary and sufficicent condition for which…

We investigate functorial properties of Putnam's homology theory for Smale spaces. Our analysis shows that the addition of a conjugacy condition is necessary to ensure functoriality. Several examples are discussed that elucidate the need…

We prove the existence of minimizers in the class of negative definite measures on compact subsets of momentum space in the homogeneous setting under several side conditions (constraints). The method is to employ Prohorov's theorem. Given a…

Easy lowering local minima, after introducing valley functions on smooth manifolds gives, without gluing technicities, "M. Morse's lemma's" canonical form, moving critical values and eliminating pair of critical points theorems, reducing…

We consider a modification of the OMM energy functional which contains an $\ell^1$ penalty term in order to find a sparse representation of the low-lying eigenspace of self-adjoint operators. We analyze the local minima of the modified…

We introduce the notion of strong local minimizer for the problems of the calculus of variations on time scales. Simple examples show that on a time scale a weak minimum is not necessarily a strong minimum. A time scale form of the…

In this note, we remark, with sufficient mathematical rigor, that many weak generalizations of the usual minimum available in the literature are not true generalizations. Motivated by the Ekeland Variational Principle, we provide, first…

In the present paper, we study a Kirchhoff type problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent. We give sufficient conditions for the sequentially weakly lower semicontinuity and the Palais Smale property of the energy functional…

The key element of the approach to the theory of necessary conditions in optimal control discussed in the paper is reduction of the original constrained problem to unconstrained minimization with subsequent application of a suitable…

We extend Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory to pairs $(f, \phi)$, where $\phi$ is a homotopy equivalence of a space $X$, $f$ is a function on $X$ which decreases along $\phi$ and $(f, \phi)$ satisfies a discrete analog of the Palais-Smale…

We prove that subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some asymptotically small sets on spheres, are bounded from above everywhere. It follows that subharmonic functions of…

The purpose of this paper is to extend the hypocoercivity results for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation in $H^1$ space in Villani's memoir \cite{Villani} to higher order Sobolev spaces. As in the $L^2$ and $H^1$ setting, there is lack of…

The classical criterion for compactness in Banach spaces of functions can be reformulated into a simple tightness condition in the time-frequency domain. This description preserves more explicitly the symmetry between time and frequency…

We give a mechanical example concerning the fact that some regularity is necessary in KAM theory. We consider the model given by the vertical bouncing motion of a ball on a periodically moving plate. Denoting with $f$ the motion of the…
