It is well-known that convex variational problems with linear growth and Dirichlet boundary conditions might not have minimizers if the boundary condition is not suitably relaxed. We show that for a wide range of integrands, including the…

We study quasilinear elliptic equations of the form $\text{div} \mathbf{A}(x,u,\nabla u) = \text{div}\mathbf{F} $ in bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 1$. The vector field $\mathbf{A}$ is allowed to be discontinuous in $x$,…

The existence problem is solved, and global pointwise estimates of solutions are obtained for quasilinear and Hessian equations of Lane-Emden type, including the following two model problems: $ -\Delta_p u = u^q + \mu$ and $F_k[-u] = u^q +…

In this paper it is shown that if $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is an open, bounded Lipschitz set, and if $f: \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^{d \times N \times N} \rightarrow [0, \infty)$ is a continuous function with $f(x, \cdot)$ of linear…

We discuss recent advances in the theory of quasilinear equations of the type $ -\Delta_{p} u = \sigma u^{q} \; \; \text{in} \;\; \mathbb{R}^n, $ in the case $0<q< p-1$, where $\sigma$ is a nonnegative measurable function, or measure, for…

In this paper, we mainly discuss the local regularity of the solution to the following problem \begin{align*} \begin{cases} -\dive({\bf{A}}(x)\nabla u(x))=f(x),&~x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)=0,&~x\in\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{align*} where…

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…

In this paper we consider the minimization of a novel class of fractional linear growth functionals involving the Riesz fractional gradient. These functionals lack the coercivity properties in the fractional Sobolev spaces needed to apply…

In this work, we investigate a quasilinear subdiffusion model which involves a fractional derivative of order $\alpha \in (0,1)$ in time and a nonlinear diffusion coefficient. First, using smoothing properties of solution operators for…
