In this paper, we consider non-diffusive variational problems with mixed boundary conditions and (distributional and weak) gradient constraints. The upper bound in the constraint is either a function or a Borel measure, leading to the state…

The sample paths of Brownian motion are known to admit the exact Besov-type smoothness exponent 1/2 when measured in the sub-Gaussian Orlicz norm. We extend these regularity results by deriving the exact limit of the sub-Gaussian Orlicz…
