Local minimizers of integral functionals of the calculus of variations are analyzed under growth conditions dictated by different lower and upper bounds for the integrand. Growths of non-necessarily power type are allowed. The local…
In this paper, we generalize a recently obtained result by Kopaliani and Zviadadze from the one-variable case to the several-variable case. Specifically, in terms of decreasing rearrangement, we characterize those exponents $p(\cdot)$ for…
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…
We study a natural biharmonic analogue of the classical Alt-Caffarelli problem, both under Dirichlet and under Navier boundary conditions. We show existence, basic properties and $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of minimisers. For the Navier…
This work concerns the study of the subdifferential of the integral functional $$ E_f(x)=\int_{T} f(t,x)d\mu(t), $$ where $f$ is a (not necessarily convex) normal integrand, $({T},\mathcal{A},\mu)$ is a $\sigma$-finite measure space, while…
A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a G_\delta subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer…
A general slice theorem for the action of a Fr\'echet Lie group on a Fr\'echet manifolds is established. The Nash-Moser theorem provides the fundamental tool to generalize the result of Palais to this infinite-dimensional setting. The…
A subequation on an open subset $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a subset $F$ of the space of $2$-jets on $X$ with certain properties. A smooth function is said to be $F$-subharmonic if all of its $2$-jets lie in $F$, and using the viscosity…
We provide a concise proof of existence for nonlinear operator equations in separable Banach spaces. Notably, the operator is not assumed to be monotone. Instead, our main hypotheses consist of a continuity assumption and a generalized…
We show the well-posed variational principle in constraint systems. In a naive procedure of the variational principle with constraints, the proper number of boundary conditions does not match with that of physical degrees of freedom…
Fr\'echet means, conceptually appealing, generalize the Euclidean expectation to general metric spaces. We explore how well Fr\'echet means can be estimated from independent and identically distributed samples and uncover a fundamental…
We focus on a sequence of functions $\{f_n\}$, defined on a compact manifold with boundary $S$, converging in the $C^k$ metric to a limit $f$. A common assumption implicitly made in the empirical sciences is that when such functions…
In this paper we introduce a notion of almost minimizers for certain variational problems governed by the fractional Laplacian, with the help of the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. In particular, we study almost fractional harmonic…
This paper provides necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for abstract constrained mathematical programming problems in locally convex spaces under new qualification conditions. Our approach exploits the geometrical properties of…
We establish an abstract critical point theorem for locally Lipschitz functionals that does not require any compactness condition of Palais-Smale type. It generalizes and unifies three other critical point theorems established in…
Via a symmetric version of Ekeland's principle recently obtained by the author we improve, in a ball or an annulus, a result of Boccardo-Ferone-Fusco-Orsina on the properties of minimizing sequences of functionals of calculus of variations…
It is proved that the space of differential forms with weak exterior and co-derivative, is compactly embedded into the space of square integrable differential forms. Mixed boundary conditions on weak Lipschitz domains are considered.…
A quasi-equilibrium problem is an equilibrium problem where the constraint set does depend on the reference point. It generalizes important problems such as quasi-variational inequalities and generalized Nash equilibrium problems. We study…
We give a sufficient condition for subelliptic estimates for the d-bar-Neumann operator on smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. This condition is a quantified version of McNeal's condition ($\tilde{P}$) for compactness…
In the author's previous joint work with Hans-Joachim Hein, a mass formula for asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) Kaehler manifolds was proved, assuming only relatively weak fall-off conditions on the metric. However, the case of real…
