We solve the Levi-flat Plateau problem in the following case. Let $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 2$, be a connected compact real-analytic codimension-two submanifold with only nondegenerate CR singularities. Suppose $M$ is a…

In this paper, we study the existence of minimizers for a class of constrained minimization problems derived from the Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson equations: $$-\Delta u+V(x)u+(|x|^{-1}*u^2)u-|u|^\frac{4}{3}u=\lambda u,~~x\in\R^3$$ on the…

For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and that the norm of the residual provides an a posteriori error…
