In this work we prove that the non-negative functions $u \in L^s_{loc}(\Omega)$, for some $s>0$, belonging to the De Giorgi classes \begin{equation}\label{eq0.1} \fint\limits_{B_{r(1-\sigma)}(x_{0})} \big|\nabla \big(u-k\big)_{-}\big|^{p}\,…

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in $L^p$ on a thin domain, under standard $p$-growth and coercivity assumptions, $1<p<\infty$. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the…

We study the limit behaviour of singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals of the form \[ \mathcal F_k(u,v)=\int_A v^2\,f_k(x,\nabla u)\.dx+\frac{1}{\varepsilon_k}\int_A g_k(x,v,\varepsilon_k\nabla v)\.dx\,, \] where $u$ is a vector-valued…

The Aviles-Giga functional $I_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_{\Omega} \frac{\left|1-\left|\nabla u\right|^2\right|^2}{\epsilon}+\epsilon \left|\nabla^2 u\right|^2 \, dx$ is a well known second order functional that models phenomena from blistering to…

In this paper we study localization properties of the Riesz $s$-fractional gradient $D^s u$ of a vectorial function $u$ as $s \nearrow 1$. The natural space to work with $s$-fractional gradients is the Bessel space $H^{s,p}$ for $0 < s < 1$…

Utilizing a new variational principle that allows dealing with problems beyond the usual locally compactness structure, we study problems with a supercritical nonlinearity of the type $ -\Delta u + u= a(x) f(u)$ in $ \Omega$ with…
