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…

We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor's result [Ta] that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$ are locally $C^{1+\alpha}$-equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but…

We investigate regularity of minimizers in two dimensions for certain classes of non-smooth convex functionals. In particular our results apply to the surface tensions that appear in recent works on random surfaces and random tilings of…

The present work constitutes a first step towards establishing a systematic framework for treating variational problems that depend on a given input function through a mixture of its derivatives of different orders in different directions.…

A partial regularity theorem is presented for minimisers of $k$th-order functionals subject to a quasiconvexity and general growth condition. We will assume a natural growth condition governed by an $N$-function satisfying the $\Delta_2$…

We establish the local $C^{1, \alpha}$ regularity of minimizers for functionals of the form $$w\to \int_{\Omega}(|\nabla w|^p-fw) dx + \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|w(x)-w(y)|^q}{|x-y|^{n+sq}}dx\, dy,$$ where $s \in (0, 1)$,…

For a fixed constant $\lambda > 0$ and a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 2$, we establish that almost-minimizers (functions satisfying a sort of variational inequality) of the Alt-Caffarelli type…

We pursue the study of a model convex functional with orthotropic structure and nonstandard growth conditions, this time focusing on the sub-quadratic case. We prove that bounded local minimizers are locally Lipschitz. No restriction on the…

In this paper we study the Poisson problem, \[ \begin{cases} -{\rm div}(d^\beta\nabla u)=f&{\rm in}\ \Omega\\ u=0&{\rm on}\ \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] where $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$, $N\ge2$ is a smooth bounded domain, $f$ is a…

The paper is devoted to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions to the problem ${\rm inf}{{\rm ess sup}_{x \in \Omega} f(\nabla u(x)): u \in u_0 + W^{1,\infty}_0(\Omega)}$ when the supremand $f$ is not…

We consider Lipschitz solutions to the possibly highly degenerate elliptic equation $ {\rm div} G(\nabla u)=0$ in $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^2 $, for any continuous strictly monotone vector field $G \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$. We show…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we cut off a part of a convex surface by a plane near a ridge point and characterize the limiting behavior of the surface measure in $S^2$ induced by this part of surface when the plane approaches…

Minimizers of functionals of mixed local and nonlocal type are locally $C^{1,\beta}$-regular.

The problem of minimization of the least squares functional with a smooth, lower semi-continuous, convex regularizer $J(\cdot)$ is considered to be solved. Over some compact and convex subset $\Omega$ of the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H},$ the…

In this paper we prove that if (u, K) is an almost-minimizer of the Griffith functional and K is $\epsilon$-close to a plane in some ball B $\subset$ R N while separating the ball B in two big parts, then K is C 1,$\alpha$ in a slightly…

In this note, we prove that minimizers of convex functionals with a convexity constraint and a general class of Lagrangians can be approximated by solutions to fourth-order equations of Abreu type. Our result generalizes that of Le (Twisted…

In this paper, we study local minimizers of a degenerate version of the Alt-Caffarelli functional. Specifically, we consider local minimizers of the functional $J_{Q}(u, \Omega):= \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^2 + Q(x)^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}dx$ where…

We establish the existence and uniqueness, in bounded as well as unbounded Lipschitz type cylinders of the forms $U_X\times V_{Y,t}$ and $\Omega\times \mathbb R^{m}\times \mathbb R$, of weak solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems for the…

In this paper, we are interested in shape optimization problems involving the ge ometry (normal, curvatures) of the surfaces. We consider a class of hypersurface s in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ satisfying a uniform ball condition and we prove the…

We establish partial regularity results for minimizers of a class of functionals depending on differential expressions based on elliptic operators. Specifically, we focus on functionals of Orlicz growth with a natural strong quasiconvexity…
