In this survey we go through some of the recent results about the regularity of vectorial free boundary problems of Bernoulli type and free boundary systems. The aim is to illustrate the general methodologies as well as to outline a…

We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…

Variational methods play an important role in the study of quantum many-body problems, both in the flavor of classical variational principles based on tensor networks as well as of quantum variational principles in near-term quantum…

We study approximations to the Moreau envelope -- and infimal convolutions more broadly -- based on Laplace's method, a classical tool in analysis which ties certain integrals to suprema of their integrands. We believe the connection…

In this article we study optimization problems ruled by $\alpha$-fractional diffusion operators with volume constraints. By means of penalization techniques we prove existence of solutions. We also show that every solution is locally of…

In this paper, we shall study the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surfaces equation. We prove some results about the boundary behaviour of a solution of this problem. We describe the behaviour of a non-converging sequence of solutions in…

In this paper, we study a second order variational problem for locally convex hypersurfaces, which is the affine invariant analogue of the classical Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. We prove existence, regularity and uniqueness results…

We consider the exterior free boundary Bernoulli problem in the case of a rough given domain. An asymptotic analysis shows that the solution of the initial problem can be approximated by the solution of a non-rough Bernoulli problem at…

We show that metrics that maximize the k-th Steklov eigenvalue on surfaces with boundary arise from free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball. We prove several properties of the volumes of these minimal submanifolds. For free boundary…

In this paper, we investigate eigenvalues of Laplacian on a bounded domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a sharper lower bound for the sum of its eigenvalues, which gives an improvement of results due to A. D. Melas [15].…

Developing an original idea of De Giorgi, we introduce a new and purely variational approach to the Cauchy Problem for a wide class of defocusing hyperbolic equations. The main novel feature is that the solutions are obtained as limits of…

Given a global 1-homogeneous minimizer $U_0$ to the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional, with $sing(F(U_0)) = \{0\}$, we provide a foliation of the half-space $\R^{n} \times [0,+\infty)$ with dilations of graphs of global minimizers…

In this paper we study the fractional p(., .)-Laplacian and we introduce the corresponding nonlocal conormal derivative for this operator. We prove basic properties of the corresponding function space and we establish a nonlocal version of…

In this paper we study an elliptic variational problem regarding the $p$-fractional Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^N$ on the basis of recent result \cite{Ha1}, which generalizes the nice work \cite{AT,AP,XZR1}, and then give some sufficient…

We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way…

We look for pointwise bounds on a plurisubharmonic function near its singularity point, given the value of its generalized Lelong number with respect to a plurisubharmonic weight. To this end, an extremal problem is considered. In certain…

We study the extremal solution for the problem $(-\Delta)^s u=\lambda f(u)$ in $\Omega$, $u\equiv0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter and $s\in(0,1)$. We extend some well known results for the extremal solution when…
