We show $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity for energy minimizing maps from a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold into a Finsler space $(\R^n, F)$ with a Finsler structure $F(u,X)$.

We prove the $C^{2,\alpha}$-regularity of the solution $u$ of the equation [\det(u_{\bar{k} j}) = f, \quad f^{1/n} \in C^{\alpha}, \quad f \geq \lambda] under the assumption in upper bound of $\Delta u$. Our result settles down the…

In this paper, we establish an $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for minimizers of an Alt-Phillips type functional subject to constraint maps. We prove that under sufficiently small energy, the minimizers exhibit regularity, and hence…

We give a simple proof of a recent result in [1] by Caffarelli, Soria-Carro, and Stinga about the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of weak solutions to transmission problems with $C^{1,\alpha}$ interfaces. Our proof does not use the mean value…

We prove $C^{1,\nu}$ regularity for local minimizers of the \oh{multi-phase} energy: \begin{flalign*} w \mapsto \int_{\Omega}\snr{Dw}^{p}+a(x)\snr{Dw}^{q}+b(x)\snr{Dw}^{s} \ dx, \end{flalign*} under sharp assumptions relating the couples…

We prove the optimal $W^{2,\infty}$ regularity for variational problems with convex gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity of the constraints; so the constraints can be nonsmooth, and they need not be strictly convex. When…
