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…

We study the existence of positive solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations of the type \[ -\Delta_{p} u = \sigma u^{q} + \mu \quad \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{n}, \] in the sub-natural growth case $0 < q < p - 1$, where $\Delta_{p}u =…

The functionals of double phase type \[ \mathcal{H} (u):= \int \left(|Du|^{p} + a(x)|Du|^{q} \right) dx, ( q > p > 1, a(x)\geq 0) \] are introduced in the epoch-making paper by Colombo-Mingione for constants $p$ and $q$, and investigated by…

In [2] we characterized in terms of a quadratic growth condition various metric regularity properties of the subdifferential of a lower semicontinuous convex function acting in a Hilbert space. Motivated by some recent results in [16] where…

We introduce the concept of strong high-order approximate minimizers for nonconvex optimization problems. These apply in both standard smooth and composite non-smooth settings, and additionally allow convex or inexpensive constraints. An…

We study Sobolev regularity results for minimisers of autonomous, convex variational of linear growth which depend on the symmetric gradient rather than the full gradient. This extends the results available in the literature for the…

We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…
