The repulsion strength at the origin for repulsive/attractive potentials determines the regularity of local minimizers of the interaction energy. In this paper, we show that if this repulsion is like Newtonian or more singular than…
We obtain Lipschitz regularity results for a fairly general class of nonlinear first-order PDEs. These equations arise from the inner variation of certain energy integrals. Even in the simplest model case of the Dirichlet energy the…
We consider a large mass limit of the non-local isoperimetric problem with a repulsive Yukawa potential in two space dimensions. In this limit, the non-local term concentrates on the boundary, resulting in the existence of a critical regime…

We study existence, unicity and other geometric properties of the minimizers of the energy functional $$ \|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, $$ where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$…
We consider some energy integrals under slow growth and we prove that the local minimizers are locally Lipschitz continuous. Many examples are given, either with subquadratic $p,q-$growth and/or anisotropic growth.
In this paper, we refine and complement McCann's results on binary-star systems \cite{McC06}, a compressible fluid model governed by the Euler-Poisson equations. We consider a general form of the equation of state that includes polytropic…
We prove the higher differentiability of integer order of locally bounded minimizers of integral functionals of the form \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u,\Omega):= \,\sum_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{1}{p_i}\displaystyle \int_\Omega \, a_i(x) \lvert…
We establish Maximum Principles which apply to vectorial approximate minimizers of the general integral functional of Calculus of Variations. Our main result is a version of the Convex Hull Property. The primary advance compared to results…
We study the regularity properties of H\"older continuous minimizers to non-autonomous functionals satisfying $(p,q)$-growth conditions, under Besov assumptions on the coefficients. In particular, we are able to prove higher integrability…
We study a class of Landau-de Gennes energy functionals with a sextic bulk energy density in a three-dimensional domain. We examine the asymptotic behavior of uniformly bounded minimizers in two distinct scenarios: one where their energy…
We prove a threshold phenomenon for the existence/non-existence of energy minimizing solitary solutions of the diffraction management equation for strictly positive and zero average diffraction. Our methods allow for a large class of…
Let $\mathcal{D} =\Omega \setminus\bar{\omega} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a smooth annular type domain. We consider the simplified Ginzburg-Landau energy $E_\epsilon(u)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{D}} |\nabla u|^2…
We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…
We present an extension of the classical De Giorgi class, and then we show that functions in this new class are locally bounded and locally H\"older continuous. Some applications are given. As a first application, we give a regularity…
Using reflection positivity techniques we prove the existence of minimizers for a class of mesoscopic free-energies representing 1D systems with competing interactions. All minimizers are either periodic, with zero average, or of constant…
We study the functional considered in~\cite{2011PhRvB..84f4205G,2014CMaPh.tmp..127G,GiuSeirGS} and a continuous version of it, analogous to the one considered in~\cite{GR}. The functionals consist of a perimeter term and a non-local term…
In this paper we study the regularity of the local minima of integral functionals: in particular, not convexity (quasi-convexity, policonvexity or rank one convexity) hypothesis will be made on the density, neither structure hypothesis nor…
We introduce two different ways of coupling local and nonlocal equations with Neumann boundary conditions in such a way that the resulting model is naturally associated with an energy functional. For these two models we prove that there is…
