First of all, we establish compactness of continuous mappings of the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with the Calderon type condition on $\varphi$ and, in particular, of the Sobolev classes $W^{1,p}_{\rm loc}$ for $p>n-1$…

The Musielak--Orlicz setting unifies the variable exponent, Orlicz, weighted Sobolev, and double-phase spaces. They inherit technical difficulties resulting from general growth and inhomogeneity. In this survey we present an overview of…
We propose a model for nonlinearly elastic membranes undergoing finite deformations while confined to a regular frictionless surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This is a physically correct model of the analogy sometimes given to motivate harmonic…
We consider the homogenization of random integral functionals which are possibly unbounded, that is, the domain of the integrand is not the whole space and may depend on the space-variable. In the vectorial case, we develop a complete…
