The Landau-de Gennes energy in nematic liquid crystals depends on four elastic constants $L_1$, $L_2$, $L_3$, $L_4$. In the case of $L_4\neq 0$, Ball and Majumdar (Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst., 2010) found an example that the original Landau-de…
We consider the problem of minimizing the bending or elastic energy among Jordan curves confined in a given open set $\Omega$. We prove existence, regularity and some structural properties of minimizers. In particular, when $\Omega$ is…
We prove higher differentiability of bounded local minimizers to some widely degenerate functionals, verifying superquadratic anisotropic growth conditions. In the two dimensional case, we prove that local minimizers to a model functional…
In this paper we consider a very general form of a non-local energy in integral form, which covers most of the usual ones (for instance, the sum of a positive and a negative power). Instead of admitting only sets, or $L^\infty$ functions,…
A family of regularization functionals is said to admit a linear representer theorem if every member of the family admits minimizers that lie in a fixed finite dimensional subspace. A recent characterization states that a general class of…
