Loss of compactness that occurs in may significant PDE settings can be expressed in a well-structured form of profile decomposition for sequences. Profile decompositions are formulated in relation to a triplet $(X,Y,D)$, where $X$ and $Y$…
For many known non-compact embeddings of two Banach spaces $E\hookrightarrow F$, every bounded sequence in $E$ has a subsequence that takes form of a profile decomposition - a sum of clearly structured terms with asymptotically disjoint…
The present paper is devoted to analysis of the lack of compactness of bounded sequences in \emph{inhomogeneous} Sobolev spaces, where bounded sequences might fail to be compact due to an isometric group action, that is, \emph{translation}.…
We obtain a critical imbedding and then, concentration-compactness principles for fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. As an application of these results, we obtain the existence of many solutions for a class of critical…
We give a new proof of the compactness of minimizing sequences of the Sobolev inequalities in the critical case. Our approach relies on a simplified version of the concentration-compactness principle, which does not require any refinement…

We obtain an improved Sobolev inequality in H^s spaces involving Morrey norms. This refinement yields a direct proof of the existence of optimizers and the compactness up to symmetry of optimizing sequences for the usual Sobolev embedding.…
Defect of compactness, relative to an embedding of two Banach spaces E and F, is a difference between a weakly convergent sequence in E and its weak limit taken up to a remainder that vanishes in the norm of F. For Sobolev embeddings in…
Profile decompositions for "critical" Sobolev-type embeddings are established, allowing one to regain some compactness despite the non-compact nature of the embeddings. Such decompositions have wide applications to the regularity theory of…

Cocompactness is a property of embeddings between two Banach spaces, similar to but weaker than compactness, defined relative to some non-compact group of bijective isometries. In presence of a cocompact embedding, bounded sequences (in the…

This paper studies when a sequence of probability measures on a metric space admit subsequential weak limits. A sufficient condition called sequential tightness is formulated, which relaxes some assumptions for asymptotic tightness used in…
We show that tools from circuit complexity can be used to study decompositions of global constraints. In particular, we study decompositions of global constraints into conjunctive normal form with the property that unit propagation on the…
Defect of compactness for non-compact imbeddings of Banach spaces can be expressed in the form of a profile decomposition. This paper extends the profile decomposition for Sobolev spaces proved by Solimini (AIHP 1995) to the non-reflexive…
Concentration properties of functionals of general Poisson processes are studied. Using a modified $\Phi$-Sobolev inequality a recursion scheme for moments is established, which is of independent interest. This is applied to derive moment…
We prove that in a vast class of metric measure spaces (namely, those whose associated Sobolev space is separable) the following property holds: a single test plan can be used to recover the minimal weak upper gradient of any Sobolev…

The purpose of this paper is to provide tools for analyzing the compactness of sequences in Sobolev spaces, in particular if the sequence gets mapped onto a compact set by some nonlinear operator. Here, our focus lies on a very general…
