We consider an abstract mixed variational problem governed by a nonlinear operator $A$ and a bifunctional $J$, in a real reflexive Banach space $X$. The operator $A$ is assumed to be continuous, Lipschitz continuous on each bounded subset…

Let $\xi$ be a $\tau$-invariant contact structure on $N(W) = \mathbb{R}_{\tau} \times W$ for a closed, $2n$-dimensional manifold $W$, so that each $\{\tau\} \times W$ is a convex hypersurface. When $n=1$, Giroux's criterion provides a…

In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional \[ J_F(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\lambda^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $\chi_D$ is the characteristic function of a…

We give a new normalization condition for connections on sub-Riemannian manifolds with constant symbols. The condition is formulated in terms of Cartan connections and depends only on the first degree of homogeneity of the curvature. The…

In this paper, a one-phase Stefan-type problem for a semi-infinite material which has as its main feature a variable latent heat that depends on the power of the position and the velocity of the moving boundary is studied. Exact solutions…

The present paper proposes a new condition to replace both the ($O$-regularly varying) quasimonotone condition and a certain type of bounded variation condition, and shows the same conclusion for the uniform convergence of certain…

For a homogeneous incompressible 2D fluid confined within a bounded Lipschitz simply connected domain, homogeneous Neumann pressure boundary conditions are equivalent to a constant boundary vorticity. We investigate the rigidity of such…

We are interested in the identification of a Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition from the far--fields created by one or several incident plane waves at a fixed frequency. We focus on the particular case where this boundary condition is…

This paper presents a consistent approach to prescribe traction boundary conditions in atomistic models. Due to the typical multiple-neighbor interactions, finding an appropriate boundary condition that models a desired traction is a…

In this paper we study contact nonholonomic mechanical sys\-tems. We construct a general framework for non-holonomic constraints in contact geometry and, in this framework, we define different nonholonomic brackets using con\-venient…

We study the parabolic obstacle problem $$\lap u-u_t=f\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \quad u\geq 0,\quad f\in L^p \quad \mbox{with}\quad f(0)=1$$ and obtain two monotonicity formulae, one that applies for general free boundary points and one for singular…

A regular contact manifold is a manifold $M$ equipped with a globally defined contact form $\eta$ such that the topological space $M/\mathcal{R}$ of orbits (trajectories) of the Reeb vector field $\mathcal{R}$ of $\eta$ carries a smooth…

We study linear damped and viscoelastic wave equations evolving on a bounded domain. For both models, we assume that waves are subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition on a portion of the domain's boundary. The analysis of…

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of an Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity type formula in the Heisenberg group.

The idea of monotonicity (or positive-definiteness in the linear case) is shown to be the central theme of the solution theories associated with problems of mathematical physics. A "grand unified" setting is surveyed covering a…

We investigate the properties of a fairly large class of boundary conditions for the linearised Einstein equations in the Riemannian setting, ones which generalise the linearised counterpart of boundary conditions proposed by Anderson.…

We study integrability of generalized almost contact structures, and find conditions under which the main associated maximal isotropic vector bundles form Lie bialgebroids. These conditions differentiate the concept of generalized contact…

The goal of this article is to study compact quasi-Einstein manifolds with boundary. We provide boundary estimates for compact quasi-Einstein manifolds simi\-lar to previous results obtained for static and $V$-static spaces. In addition, we…

We consider a Hamiltonian system of free boundary type, showing first uniform bounds and existence of solutions and of the free boundary. Then, for any smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions in a suitable…

The main goal of this note is to characterize the necessary and sufficient conditions for a composition operator to act between spaces of mappings of bounded Wiener variation in a normed-valued setting. The necessary and sufficient…
