We discuss the local minimality of certain configurations for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem used to model microphase separation in diblock copolymer melts. We show that critical configurations with positive second variation are local…

We consider shape functionals of the form $F_q(\Omega)=P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $P(\Omega)$ denotes the perimeter of $\Omega$ and $T(\Omega)$ is the torsional…

Let $1<q<p$ and $a\in C(\overline{\Omega})$ be sign-changing, where $\Omega$ is a bounded and smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. We show that the functional \[ I_{q}(u):=\int_{\Omega}\left( \frac{1}{p}|\nabla…

In this paper, we prove that for any bounded set of finite perimeter $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we can choose smooth sets $E_k \Subset \Omega$ such that $E_k \rightarrow \Omega$ in $L^1$ and \begin{align}…

Given $\Omega$ bounded open set of $\mathbb R^{n}$ and $\alpha\in \mathbb R$, let us consider \[ \mu(\Omega,\alpha)=\min_{\substack{v\in W_{0}^{1,2}(\Omega)\\v\not\equiv 0}} \frac{\displaystyle\int_{\Omega} |\nabla v|^{2}dx+\alpha…

This paper deals with quasi-local isoperimetric versions of the positive mass theorem on $3$-manifolds endowed with continuous complete metrics having nonnegative scalar curvature in a suitable weak sense. As a corollary, we derive…

We give a solution to the isoperimetric problem for the exponential measure on the plane with the $\ell_1$-metric. As it turns out, among all sets of a given measure, the simplex or its complement (i.e. the ball in the $\ell_1$-metric or…

In this paper, we investigate further the weighted $p(x)$-Hardy inequality with the additional term of the form \[ \int_\Omega |\xi|^{p(x)}\mu_{1,\beta} (dx) \leqslant \int_\Omega |\nabla \xi|^{p(x)}\mu_{2,\beta} (dx)+\int_\Omega…

It is well known that isoperimetric inequalities imply in a very general measure-metric-space setting appropriate concentration inequalities. The former bound the boundary measure of sets as a function of their measure, whereas the latter…

An isoperimetric inequality on the Hamming cube for exponents $\beta\ge 0.50057$ is proved, achieving equality on any subcube. This was previously known for $\beta\ge \log_2(3/2)\approx 0.585$. Improved bounds are also obtained at the…

It is known that the reduced equations for an axially symmetric homogeneous ellipsoid that rolls without slipping on the plane possess a smooth invariant measure. We show that such an invariant measure does not exist in the case when all of…

In a commutative ring $R$ with unity, given an ideal $I$ of $R$, Anderson and Badawi in 2011 introduced the invariant $\omega(I)$, which is the minimal integer $n$ for which $I$ is an $n$-absorbing ideal of $R$. In the specific case that $R…

We develop a new method that enables us to solve the open problem of characterizing discrete inequalities for kernel operators involving suprema. More precisely, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which there exists a…

This paper deals with existence of a nontrivial positive solution to systems of equations involving nontrivial nonhomogeneous terms and critical or subcritical nonlinearities. Via a minimization argument we prove existence of a positive…

We describe and partially solve a natural Yamabe-type problem on smooth metric measure spaces which interpolates between the Yamabe problem and the problem of finding minimizers for Perelman's $\nu$-entropy. This problem reduces in all…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N\geq1$, let $K$, $M$ be two nonnegative functions and let $\alpha,\gamma>0$. We study existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for singular problems of the form $-\Delta…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and let $m$ be a possibly discontinuous and unbounded function that changes sign in $\Omega$. Let $f:\left[ 0,\infty\right) \rightarrow\left[ 0,\infty\right) $ be a continuous…

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…

We prove general theorems for isoperimetric problems on lattices of the form ${\mathbb{Z}}^{k} \times {\mathbb{N}}^{d}$ which state that the perimeter of the optimal set is a monotonically increasing function of the volume under certain…
