We consider the problem of minimizing convex combinations of the first two eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-Laplacian among open sets of $R^N$ of fixed measure. We show that, by purely elementary arguments, based on the minimality condition, it…

The (global) Lipschitz smoothness condition is crucial in establishing the convergence theory for most optimization methods. Unfortunately, most machine learning and signal processing problems are not Lipschitz smooth. This motivates us to…

We prove local Lipschitz regularity for local minimiser of \[ W^{1,1}(\Omega)\ni v\mapsto \int_\Omega F(Dv)\, dx \] where $\Omega\subseteq {\mathbb R}^N$, $N\ge 2$ and $F:{\mathbb R}^N\to {\mathbb R}$ is a quasiuniformly convex integrand in…

In this paper, we extend the related notions of Dirichlet quasiminimizer, $\omega-$minimizer and almost minimizer to the framework of multiple-valued functions in the sense of Almgren and prove Holder regularity results. We also give…

Dual first-order methods are powerful techniques for large-scale convex optimization. Although an extensive research effort has been devoted to studying their convergence properties, explicit convergence rates for the primal iterates have…

Lawson and Osserman proved that the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface system is not always solvable in the class of Lipschitz maps. However, it is known that minimizing sequences (for area) of Lipschitz graphs converge to objects…

We obtain Lipschitz regularity results for a fairly general class of nonlinear first-order PDEs. These equations arise from the inner variation of certain energy integrals. Even in the simplest model case of the Dirichlet energy the…

Conservation laws are usually studied in the context of sufficient regularity conditions imposed on the flux function, usually $C^{2}$ and uniform convexity. Some results are proven with the aid of variational methods and a unique minimizer…

We construct a Lipschitz truncation which approximates functions of bounded variation in the area-strict metric. The Lipschitz truncation changes the original function only on a small set similar to Lusin's theorem. Previous results could…

In this note, we prove that minimizers of convex functionals with a convexity constraint and a general class of Lagrangians can be approximated by solutions to fourth-order equations of Abreu type. Our result generalizes that of Le (Twisted…

We study a variational problem motivated by models of species population density in a nonhomogeneous environment. We first analyze local minimizers and the structure of the saturated region (where the population attains its maximal density)…

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 study the existence and non-existence of minimizers for a type of (critical) Poincar\'{e}-Sobolev inequalities. We show that minimizers do exist for smooth domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$, an also for some polyhedral domains. On…

In this paper, we study the regularity of the solutions of Maxwell's equations in a bounded domain. We consider several different types of low regularity assumptions to the coefficients which are all less than Lipschitz. We first develop a…

We investigate properties of minimizers of a variational model describing the shape of charged liquid droplets. The model, proposed by Muratov and Novaga, takes into account the regularizing effect due to the screening of free…

ResNets constrained to be bi-Lipschitz, that is, approximately distance preserving, have been a crucial component of recently proposed techniques for deterministic uncertainty quantification in neural models. We show that theoretical…

In a series of papers, including the present one, we give a new, shorter proof of Almgren's partial regularity theorem for area minimizing currents in a Riemannian manifold, with a slight improvement on the regularity assumption for the…

We prove some regularity results for a priori bounded local minimizers of non-autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(v,\Omega)=\int_\Omega F(x,Dv)dx,$$ under the constraint $v \ge \psi$ a.e. in $\Omega$, where $\psi$ is a…

We prove regularity properties in the vector valued case for minimizers of variational integrals of the form $$A(u) = \int_\Omega A(x,u,Du) dx$$ where the integrand $A(x,u,Du)$ is not necessarily continuous respect to the variable $x,$…

We establish the existence and symmetry of all minimizers of a constrained variational problem involving the fractional gradient. This problem is closely connected to some fractional kinetic equations.
