Oscillations and concentrations in sequences of gradients $\{\nabla u_k\}$, bounded in $L^p(\Omega;\R^{M\times N})$ if $p>1$ and $\Omega\subset\R^n$ is a bounded domain with the extension property in $W^{1,p}$, and their interaction with…

The paper is devoted to study analogues of the van der Corput lemmas involving Mittag-Leffler functions. The generalisation is that we replace the exponential function with the Mittag-Leffler-type function, to study oscillatory integrals…

Euler's Gamma function $\Gamma$ either increases or decreases on intervals between two consequtive critical points. The inverse of $\Gamma$ on intervals of increase is shown to have an extension to a Pick-function and similar results are…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour via Gamma-convergence of some integral functionals which model some multi-dimensional structures and depend explicitly on the linearized strain tensor. The functionals are defined in…

We present new results concerning the approximation of the total variation, $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|$, of a function $u$ by non-local, non-convex functionals of the form $$ \Lambda_\delta u = \int_{\Omega} \int_{\Omega} \frac{\delta…

Ratios of integrals can be bounded in terms of ratios of integrands under certain monotonicity conditions. This result, related with L'H\^{o}pital's monotone rule, can be used to obtain sharp bounds for cumulative distribution functions. We…

We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first…

Following the global method for relaxation we prove an integral representation result for a large class of variational functionals naturally defined on the space of functions with Bounded Deformation. Mild additional continuity assumptions…

We review the recent generalized fractional calculus of variations. We consider variational problems containing generalized fractional integrals and derivatives and study them using indirect methods. In particular, we provide necessary…

We study a class of non-local functionals that was introduced by Brezis--Seeger--Van Schaftingen--Yung, and can be used to characterize the total variation of functions. We establish the $\Gamma$-limit of these functionals with respect to…

We consider the integration of two-dimensional, piecewise constant functions with respect to copulas. By drawing a connection to linear assignment problems, we can give optimal upper and lower bounds for such integrals and construct the…

Consider a fixed connected, finite graph $\Gamma$ and equip its vertices with weights $p_i$ which are non-negative integers. We show that there is a finite number of possibilities for the coefficients of the canonical cycle of a numerically…

We establish three results dealing with the character varieties of finitely generated groups. The first two are concerned with the behavior of $\dim X_n(\Gamma)$ as a function of $n$, and the third addresses the problem of realizing a…

We prove a ${\Gamma}$-convergence result for the $p$-Dirichlet energy functional defined on maps from a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ to $\mathscr{N}$, a $(k-2)$-connected and smooth closed Riemannian manifold…

We use variational convergence to derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional rod theories, starting out from three-dimensional models in nonlinear elasticity subject to local volume-preservation. The densities of the resulting $\Gamma$-limits…

We introduce new generalizations of the Gamma and the Beta functions. Their properties are investigated and known results are obtained as particular cases.

We consider divergent integrals $\int_X \omega$ of certain forms $\omega$ on a reduced pure-dimensional complex space $X$. The forms $\omega$ are singular along a subvariety defined by the zero set of a holomorphic section $s$ of some…

We derive two-sided bounds for a class of Stirling-type asymptotic formulas for piecewise logarithmic interpolations of the pi function, and hence also for the factorials and the gamma functions. The bounds are derived by first proving some…

We study the homogenization of a class of non-local functionals featuring a rapidly oscillating periodic weight. By means of two-scale convergence, we explicitly evaluate the {\Gamma}-limit for constant target functions, revealing how the…

We investigate a version of the Phragm\'en-Lindel\"of theorem for solutions of the equation $\Delta_\infty u=0$ in unbounded convex domains. The method of proof is to consider this infinity harmonic equation as the limit of the $p$-harmonic…
