Consider a compact Abelian group $Z$ and closed subgroups $U_1$, \ldots, $U_k \leq Z$. Let $\mathbb{T} := \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. This paper examines two kinds of functional equation for measurable functions $Z\to \mathbb{T}$. First, given…

We analyze a finite-difference approximation of a functional of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type in brittle fracture, in the discrete-to-continuum limit. In a suitable regime between the competing scales, namely if the discretization step $\delta$…

We prove a sharp higher differentiability result for local minimizers of functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}\left(w,\Omega\right)=\int_{\Omega}\left[ F\left(x,Dw(x)\right)-f(x)\cdot w(x)\right]dx$$ with non-autonomous integrand $F(x,\xi)$…

Let $V\in C^2(\R^d)$ such that $\mu_V(\d x):= \e^{-V(x)}\,\d x$ is a probability measure, and let $\aa\in (0,2)$. Explicit criteria are presented for the $\aa$-stable-like Dirichlet form $$\E_{\aa,V}(f,f):= \int_{\R^d\times\R^d}…

Let $n\geq 1$, $K>0$, and let $X=(X_1,X_2,\dots,X_n)$ be a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with independent $K$--subgaussian components. We show that for every $1$--Lipschitz convex function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (the Lipschitzness with…

We introduce an adaptation of integral approximation operators to set-valued functions (SVFs, multifunctions), mapping a compact interval $[a,b]$ into the space of compact non-empty subsets of ${\mathbb R}^d$. All operators are adapted by…

In this work we analyse the functional ${\cal J}(u)=\|\nabla u\|_\infty$ defined on Lipschitz functions with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our analysis is performed directly on the functional without the need to approximate…

We define functions of noncommuting self-adjoint operators with the help of double operator integrals. We are studying the problem to find conditions on a function $f$ on ${\Bbb R}^2$, for which the map $(A,B)\mapsto f(A,B)$ is Lipschitz in…

We study the existence of subharmonic solutions in the system $\ddot {u}(t)=f(t,u(t))$, where $u(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{k}$ and $f$ is an even and $p$-periodic function in time. Under some additional symmetry conditions on the function $f$, the…

Structural properties are given for $D(K)$, the Banach algebra of (complex) differences of bounded semi-continuous functons on a metric space $K$. For example, it is proved that if all finite derived sets of $K$ are non-empty, then a…

The ordinary differential equation $\dot{x}(t)=f(x(t)), \; t \geq 0 $, for $f$ measurable, is not sufficiently regular to guarantee existence of solutions. To remedy this we may relax the problem by replacing the function $f$ with its…

Let $\cal M$ be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a distinguished faithful, normal, semi-finite trace $\tau$. We introduce the notion of equi-integrability in non-commutative spaces and show that if a rearrangement invariant…
