In this note we show that a recent existence result on quasiequilibrium problems, which seems to improve deeply some well-known results, is not correct. We exhibit a counterexample and we furnish a generalization of a lemma about continuous…

We consider minimization of functions that are compositions of convex or prox-regular functions (possibly extended-valued) with smooth vector functions. A wide variety of important optimization problems fall into this framework. We describe…

We establish local $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity for some $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and $C^{\alpha}$-regularity for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$ of local minimizers of the functional \[ v\ \mapsto\ \int_\Omega \phi(x,|Dv|)\,dx, \] where $\phi$ satisfies a…

In this paper, we are interested in the regularity of weak solutions $u\colon\Omega_T\to\mathbb{R}$ to parabolic equations of the type \begin{equation*} \partial_t u - \mathrm{div} \nabla \mathcal{F}(x,t,Du) = f\qquad\mbox{in $\Omega_T$},…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first prove a weighted Sobolev inequality and part of a weighted Morrey's inequality, where the weights are a power of the mean curvature of the level sets of the function appearing in the…
