We show weak lower semi-continuity of functionals assuming the new notion of a "convexly constrained" $\mathcal A$-quasiconvex integrand. We assume $\mathcal A$-quasiconvexity only for functions defined on a set $K$ which is convex.…

We study the problem of finding a function u verifying --$\Delta$u = 0 in $\Omega$ under the boundary condition $\partial$u $\partial$n + g(u) = $\mu$ on $\partial$$\Omega$ where $\Omega$ $\subset$ R N is a smooth domain, n the normal unit…

We measure partial branching fractions for the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay of $\Bxulnu$, and present determinations of the CKM matrix element $\Vub$. This analysis is based on a sample of 467 million $\FourS$ decays into $\BB$…

In metric measure spaces, we study boundary traces of BV functions in domains equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, but possibly having a very large and irregular boundary. We show that the trace exists in…

For \Omega a C^{2}-smooth domain, and a positive bounded continuous map a \in C(\Omega), we prove existence of a minimizer of the functional u \mapsto $\int_{\Omega} a|Du| over the space BV(\Omega) of functions of bounded variation with…

In this paper we study nonnegative minimizers of general degenerate elliptic functionals, $\int F(X,u,Du) dX \to \min$, for variational kernels $F$ that are discontinuous in $u$ with discontinuity of order $\sim \chi_{\{u > 0 \}}$. The…

The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…
