We investigate several instances of the Hadamard inequality in the mean in two dimensions. As a consequence, we prove the uniqueness of minimizers of an integral functional with a polyconvex integrand, subject to mixed Dirichlet and Neumann…
In this paper, we show the existence and non-existence of minimizers of the following minimization problems which include an open problem mentioned by Horiuchi and Kumlin in 2012: \begin{align*} G_a := \inf_{u \in W_0^{1,N}(\Omega )…
In two-phase image segmentation, convex relaxation has allowed global minimisers to be computed for a variety of data fitting terms. Many efficient approaches exist to compute a solution quickly. However, we consider whether the nature of…
We continue the analysis of some modifications of the total variation image inpainting method formulated on the space $BV(\Omega)^M$ in the sense that we generalize the main results of [32] to the case that a more general data fitting term…
Motivated by applications in materials science, a set of quasiconvexity at the boundary conditions is introduced for domains that are locally diffeomorphic to cones. These conditions are shown to be necessary for strong local minimisers in…
This paper deals with continuity preservation when minimizing generalized total variation with a $L^2$ fidelity term or a Dirichlet boundary condition. We extend several recent results in the two cases, mainly by showing comparison…
We prove the existence of minimizers in the class of negative definite measures on compact subsets of momentum space in the homogeneous setting under several side conditions (constraints). The method is to employ Prohorov's theorem. Given a…
We prove that the gradient of any bounded subharmonic function is upper semi-continuous, provided that its super-level sets can be touched from the exterior by uniform $C^{1,\text{Dini}}$ domains at every point. This idea extends to a class…
Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…
It has recently been established byWang and Xia [WX] that local minimizers of perimeter within a ball subject to a volume constraint must be spherical caps or planes through the origin. This verifies a conjecture of the authors and is in…
In this paper, we prove first that the space of minimal sets of any homeomorphisms $f:X\to X$ of a regular curve $X$ is closed in the hyperspace $2^X$ of closed subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and the non-wandering set…
In this paper we study nonnegative minimizers of general degenerate elliptic functionals, $\int F(X,u,Du) dX \to \min$, for variational kernels $F$ that are discontinuous in $u$ with discontinuity of order $\sim \chi_{\{u > 0 \}}$. The…
In the setting of a doubling metric measure space, we study regularity of sets with finite $s$-perimeter, that is, sets whose characteristic functions have finite Besov energy, with regularity parameter $0<s<1$ and exponent $p=1$. Following…
We mainly discuss superquadratic minimization problems for splitting-type variational integrals on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and prove higher integrability of the gradient up to the boundary by incorporating…
Teichm\"uller's classical mapping problem for plane domains concerns finding a lower bound for the maximal dilatation of a quasiconformal homeomorphism which holds the boundary pointwise fixed, maps the domain onto itself, and maps a given…
Using a geometric construction, we solve Plateau's Problem in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^{1}$ for intrinsic graphs defined on a convex domain $D$, under a smallness condition either on the boundary $\partial D$ or on the Lipschitz…
In \cite{CHMY04}, we studied $p$-mean curvature and the associated $p$-minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group from the viewpoint of PDE and differential geometry. In this paper, we look into the problem through the variational…
We prove the higher integrability of the gradient for minimizers of the thermal insulation problem, an analogue of De Giorgi's conjecture for the Mumford-Shah functional. We deduce that the singular part of the free boundary has Hausdorff…
In this article, we study the continuous mild solutions to the Boltzmann equation in a bounded spatial domain, under either angular cutoff assumption or non-cutoff assumption. Without assuming convexity of the spatial domain, we establish a…
We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…
