We study minimizers of the Dirichlet phi-energy integral with generalized Orlicz growth. We prove the Kellogg property, the set of irregular points has zero capacity, and give characterizations of semiregular boundary points. The results…

We prove that for any two Riemannian metrics $\sigma_1, \sigma_2$ on the unit disk, a homeomorphism $\partial\mathbb{D}\to\partial\mathbb{D}$ extends to at most one quasiconformal minimal diffeomorphism $(\mathbb{D},\sigma_1)\to…

We prove that every expanding minimal semigroup action of $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold (resp. $C^{1+\alpha}$ conformal) is robustly minimal (resp. ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure). We also show how, locally, a…

In this paper we prove that the shape optimization problem $$\min\left\{\lambda_k(\Omega):\ \Omega\subset\R^d,\ \Omega\ \hbox{open},\ P(\Omega)=1,\ |\Omega|<+\infty\right\},$$ has a solution for any $k\in\N$ and dimension $d$. Moreover,…

We show that to each symmetric elliptic operator of the form \[ \mathcal{A} = - \sum \partial_k \, a_{kl} \, \partial_l + c \] on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ one can associate a self-adjoint Dirichlet-to-Neumann…

We study the regularity of minimizers to the composite membrane problem in the plane (ie given a domain omega and a positive number A, smaller than the measure of omega, minimize the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Schrodinger operator…

The harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of…

We improve and generalize in several accounts the recent rigorous proof of convergence of delta expansion - order dependent mappings (variational perturbation expansion) for the energy eigenvalues of anharmonic oscillator. For the…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\Ri^d$ with boundary $\Gamma$ and let $d_\Gamma$ denote the Euclidean distance to $\Gamma$. Further let $H=-\divv(C\nabla)$ where $C=(\,c_{kl}\,)>0$ with $c_{kl}=c_{lk}$ are real, bounded, Lipschitz continuous…
