This paper deals with the variational analysis, for every $s \in (0,1)$ and $p \in [1,+\infty)$, of $(s,p)$-Gagliardo seminorms in a periodic setting. First, we consider the space of $L^p$, $T$-periodic functions and define the energy…
We propose a new approximation for the relaxed energy $E$ of the Dirichlet energy and prove that the minimizers of the approximating functionals converge to a minimizer $u$ of the relaxed energy, and that $u$ is partially regular without…

The free energy is a key quantity of interest in Ising models, but unfortunately, computing it in general is computationally intractable. Two popular (variational) approximation schemes for estimating the free energy of general Ising models…

We study MINLO (mixed-integer nonlinear optimization) formulations of the disjunction $x\in\{0\}\cup[l,u]$, where $z$ is a binary indicatorof $x\in[l,u]$ ($u> \ell > 0$), and $y$ "captures" $f(x)$, which is assumed to be convex on its…

We obtain local Lipschitz regularity for minima of autonomous integrals in the calculus of variations, assuming $q$-growth hypothesis and $W^{1,p}$-quasiconvexity only asymptotically, both in the sub-quadratic and the super-quadratic case.
In this paper, we consider the optimal power flow (OPF) problem which consists in determining the power production at each bus of an electric network by minimizing the production cost. Our contribution is an exact solution algorithm for the…
We consider (2+1)-QFT at finite temperature on a product of time with a static spatial geometry. The suitably defined difference of thermal vacuum free energy for the QFT on a deformation of flat space from its value on flat space is a UV…

We consider a class of integral functionals with Musielak-Orlicz type variable growth, possibly linear in some regions of the domain. This includes $p(x)$ power-type integrands with $p(x)\ge 1$ as well as double-phase $p\!-\!q$ integrands…
