We consider a class of variational problems for densities that repel each other at distance. Typical examples are given by the Dirichlet functional and the Rayleigh functional \[ D(\mathbf{u}) = \sum_{i=1}^k \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_i|^2…

Let $z=(x,y)$ be coordinates for the product space $\mathbb{R}^{m_1}\times \mathbb{R}^{m_2}$. Let $f:\mathbb{R}^{m_1}\times \mathbb{R}^{m_2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a $C^1$ function, and $\nabla f=(\partial _xf,\partial _yf)$ its…

In this paper, we show $C^{2,\alpha}$ interior estimates for viscosity solutions of fully non-linear, uniformly elliptic equations, which are close to linear equations and we also compute an explicit bound for the closeness.

Given a convex set $C$ in a real vector space $E$ and two points $x,y\in C$, we investivate which are the possible values for the variation $f(y)-f(x)$, where $f:C\longrightarrow [m,M]$ is a bounded convex function. We then rewrite the…

In this article, we prove two new versions of a theorem proven by Efron in [Efr65]. Efron's theorem says that if a function $\phi : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is non-decreasing in each argument then we have that the function $s…

Let $X,Y$ be two irreducible subvarieties of the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, and $d\geq 1$ an integer number. The main result of this paper is an algorithm to construct {\bf explicitly}, in terms of $d$ and the ideals defining $X$ and…

Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^2$ be a bounded domain on which Hardy's inequality holds. We prove that $[\exp(u^2)-1]/\delta^2\in L^1(\Omega)$ if $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ denotes the distance to $\partial\Omega$. The…

We prove a generalized version of Friedrichs and Gaffney inequalities for a bounded $(\varepsilon,\delta)$ domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n=2,3$, by adapting the methods of Jones to our framework.

In this paper, we prove the following result. Let $\alpha$ be any real number between $0$ and $2$. Assume that $u$ is a solution of $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x) = 0 , \;\; x \in \mathbb{R}^n ,\\…

We prove a parabolic analogue of Wolff's inequality adapted to the intrinsic scaling $\delta_c(x,t)=(cx,c^2t)$ and formulated in terms of time-backward parabolic dyadic rectangles. As a consequence, we obtain equivalent characterizations of…

We show that the solution of the Cauchy problem for the classical ode $m \mathbf y''=\mathbf f$ can be obtained as limit of minimizers of exponentially weighted convex variational integrals. This complements the known results about weighted…

This article is concerned with ``up to $C^{2, \alpha}$-regularity results'' about a mixed local-nonlocal nonlinear elliptic equation which is driven by the superposition of Laplacian and fractional Laplacian operators. First of all, an…

For the functions $f$, which can be represented in the form of the convolution $f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi}\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}e^{-\alpha k^{r}}\cos(kt-\frac{\beta\pi}{2})\varphi(x-t)dt$,…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$, $0<\alpha <1,$ and we prove that ``flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\gamma}$. We thus extend the known result for the case $\alpha=1/2.$

In this paper, we are interested in the study of a problem with fractional derivatives having boundary conditions of integral types. The problem represents a Caputo type advection-diffusion equation where the fractional order derivative…

We derive Euler-Lagrange type equations for fractional action-like integrals of the calculus of variations which depend on the Riemann-Liouville derivatives of order $(\alpha,\beta)$, $\alpha > 0$, $\beta > 0$, recently introduced by J.…

Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such that $$\alpha^*:=\max\left…

We investigate the interior pointwise $C^{\alpha}$ regularity for weak solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations with divergence-free drifts. For such equations, the integrability condition on the drift can be relaxed and the interior…
