We study no-gap second-order optimality conditions for a non-uniformly convex and non-smooth integral functional. The integral functional is extended to the space of measures. The obtained second-order derivatives contain integrals on…

We prove that given any positive integer $k$, for each open set $\Omega$ and any closed subset $D$ of its closure such that $\Omega$ is locally an (epsilon,delta)-domain near points in the boundary of $\Omega$ not contained in $D$ there…

This contribution is based on a talk given by the author at the "Dualities and Generalized Geometries" session of the Corfu Summer Institute 2018 workshops. We overview the results of [1], focusing our attention on integrable…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the following functional ($p>2$) $$ F_{\epsilon}(u):=\epsilon^{p-2}\int_{\Omega}|Du|^p d(x,\partial \Omega)^{a}dx+\frac{1}{\epsilon^{\frac{p-2}{p-1}}}\int_{\Omega}W(u) d(x,\partial…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain (open and connected) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given $u_0\in L^2(\Omega)$, $g\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of…

We study integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f\left( d\omega\right)$, where $1\leq k\leq n$, $f:\Lambda^{k}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is continuous and $\omega$ is a $\left(k-1\right)$-form. We introduce the appropriate notions of convexity,…

In this note, we provide an explicit formula for computing the quasiconvex envelope of any real-valued function $W\colon\operatorname{SL}(2)\to\mathbb{R}$ with $W(RF)=W(FR)=W(F)$ for all $F\in\operatorname{SL}(2)$ and all…

We consider the well-travelled problem of homogenization of random integral functionals. When the integrand has standard growth conditions, the qualitative theory is well-understood. When it comes to unbounded functionals, that is, when the…

We consider an out-of-equilibrium one-dimensional model for two electrical double-layers. With a combination of exact calculations and Brownian Dynamics simulations, we compute the relaxation time ($\tau$) for an electroneutral salt-free…

We study inequalities of the form \begin{equation*} \rho ( \lvert \hat{f} \rvert) \leq C \sigma(f) < \infty, \end{equation*} with $f \in L_{1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the Lebesgue-integrable functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and \begin{equation*}…

Bounded and compact differences of two composition operators acting from the weighted Bergman space $A^p_\omega$ to the Lebesgue space $L^q_\nu$, where $0<q<p<\infty$ and $\omega$ belongs to the class $\mathcal{D}$ of radial weights…

Perturbations of fluid media can give rise to non-equilibrium dynamics, which may in turn cause motion of immersed inclusions. We consider perturbations ("activations") that are local in space and time, of a fluid density which is…

If $\Omega$ is the interior of a convex polygon in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $f,g$ two asymptotic geodesics, we show that the distance function $d\left(f\left(t\right),g\left(t\right)\right)$ is convex for $t$ sufficiently large. The same result…

Let $\Omega\Subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a domain with smooth boundary, $k\in\mathbb{N}$. It is shown that the integral of a holomorphic function in $L^1(\Omega)$ may be represented as the integral of this function against a smooth function…

According to conventional wisdom electric double-layer forces normally decay exponentially with separation distance. Here we present experimental evidence of algebraically decaying double-layer interactions. We show that algebraic…

It is shown that integrability is an accidental property of generic two-dimensional $O(2)$-symmetric asymptotically-free theories in the regime where the charge density is much larger than the dynamical scale. We show this by constructing…

We give a sharp sufficient condition on the distribution function, $|\{x\in \Omega :\,p(x)\leq 1+\lambda\}|$, $\lambda>0$, of the exponent function $p(\cdot): \Omega \to [1,\infty)$ that implies the embedding of the variable Lebesgue space…

For an Orlicz function $\varphi$ and a decreasing weight $w$, two intrinsic exact descriptions are presented for the norm in the K\"othe dual of an Orlicz-Lorentz function space $\Lambda_{\varphi,w}$ or a sequence space…

We introduce a condition on accretive matrix functions, called $p$-ellipticity, and discuss its applications to the $L^p$ theory of elliptic PDE with complex coefficients. Our examples are: (i) generalized convexity of power functions…

We study the homogenization of a class of non-local functionals featuring a rapidly oscillating periodic weight. By means of two-scale convergence, we explicitly evaluate the {\Gamma}-limit for constant target functions, revealing how the…
