The Bernstein approximation problem is to determine whether or not the space of all polynomials is dense in a given weighted $C_0$-space on the real line. A theorem of L. de Branges characterizes non--density by existence of an entire…

We prove results on the relaxation and weak* lower semicontinuity of integral functionals of the form \[ \mathcal{F}[u] := \int_{\Omega} f \bigg( \frac{1}{2} \bigl( \nabla u(x) + \nabla u(x)^T \bigr) \bigg)\,\mathrm{d} x, \qquad u : \Omega…

We show optimal existence, nonexistence and regularity results for nonnegative solutions to Dirichlet problems as $$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta_1 u = g(u)|D u|+h(u)f & \text{in}\;\Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\;\partial\Omega,…

We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_\Omega(u) := \int_\Omega B(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this…

In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…

We establish a unique continuation property for solutions of the differential inequality $|\nabla u|\leq V|u|$, where $V$ is locally $L^n$ integrable on a domain in $\mathbb R^n$. A stronger uniqueness result is obtained if in addition the…

The linear PDE ${\mathbf B} {\mathbf L} (\frac{\partial}{\partial x}) u ={\mathbf L}_1(\frac{\partial}{\partial x})u +f(x)$ with nonclassic conditions on boundary $\partial \Omega$ is considered. Here ${\mathbf B}$ is linear noninvertible…

We show that standard deviation $\s$ satisfies the Leibniz inequality $\s(fg) \leq \s(f)\|g\| + \|f\|\s(g)$ for bounded functions f, g on a probability space, where the norm is the supremum norm. A related inequality that we refer to as…

Assume that $f$ is a real $\rho$-harmonic function of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ onto the interval $(-1,1)$, where $\rho(u,v)=R(u)$ is a metric defined in the infinite strip $(-1,1)\times \mathbb{R}$. Then we prove that $|\nabla…
