We study the Willmore problem with free boundary by means of a new {\L}ojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for functionals on infinite dimensional manifolds. In contrast to previous works, we do not rely on a gradient-like representation…
The classical Lojasiewicz inequality and its extensions for partial differential equation problems (Simon) and to o-minimal structures (Kurdyka) have a considerable impact on the analysis of gradient-like methods and related problems:…
This paper presents finite-time and fixed-time stabilization results for inhomogeneous abstract evolution problems, extending existing theories. We prove well-posedness for strong and weak solutions, and estimate upper bounds for settling…
In this paper we consider the elastic energy for open curves in Euclidean space subject to clamped boundary conditions and obtain the \L ojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for this energy functional. Thanks to this inequality we can prove…
The {\L}ojasiewicz inequality characterizes objective-value convergence along gradient flows and, in special cases, yields exponential decay of the cost. However, such results do not directly give rates of convergence in the state. In this…
This paper is dedicated to providing new tools and methods for studying the trend to equilibrium of gradient flows in metric spaces in the entropy and metric sense, to establish decay rates, finite time of extinction, and to characterize…
We consider the Cauchy problem for a second-order nonlinear evolution equation in a Hilbert space. This equation represents the abstract generalization of the Ball integro-differential equation. The general nonlinear case with respect to…

We establish an exponential stabilization result for linear port-Hamiltonian systems of first order with quite general, not necessarily continuous, energy densities. In fact, we have only to require the energy density of the system to be of…
We investigate the asymptotic properties of the trajectories generated by a second-order dynamical system of proximal-gradient type stated in connection with the minimization of the sum of a nonsmooth convex and a (possibly nonconvex)…
In this paper, we prove a new functional inequality of Hardy-Littlewood type for generalized rearrangements of functions. We then show how this inequality provides {\em quantitative} stability results of steady states to evolution systems…
The stability of asymptotic profiles of solutions to the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for Fast Diffusion Equation (FDE, for short) is discussed. The main result of the present paper is the stability of any asymptotic profiles of least energy.…
This paper deals with the finite-time stabilization of a class of nonlinear infinite-dimensional systems. First, we consider a bounded matched perturbation in its linear form. It is shown that by using a set-valued function, both the…
This work has the goal of briefly surveying some key stabilization techniques for general nonlinear systems, for which, as it is well known, a smooth control Lyapunov function may fail to exist. A general overview of the situation with…
We address the minimization of the sum of a proper, convex and lower semicontinuous with a (possibly nonconvex) smooth function from the perspective of an implicit dynamical system of forward-backward type. The latter is formulated by means…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
In this paper we propose a new method to stabilise non-symmetric indefinite problems. The idea is to solve a forward and an adjoint problem simultaneously using a suitable stabilised finite element method. Both stabilisation of the element…
We prove three related quantitative results for the relative isoperimetric problem outside a convex body $\Omega$ in the plane: (1) {\L}ojasiewicz estimates and quantitative rigidity for critical points, (2) rates of convergence for the…
We investigate the Cahn-Hilliard equation with nonlinear diffusion and non-degenerate mobility modeling phase separation phenomena in complex systems (e.g., crystals and polymers). Previous results in the literature on this model relied on…
We study the asymptotic stability of a dissipative evolution in a Hilbert space subject to intermittent damping. We observe that, even if the intermittence satisfies a persistent excitation condition, if the Hilbert space is…
