We consider nematic liquid crystals in a bounded, convex polyhedron described by a director field n(r) subject to tangent boundary conditions. We derive lower bounds for the one-constant elastic energy in terms of topological invariants.…

We employ the so-called tangent-point energy as Tikhonov regularizer for ill-conditioned inverse scattering problems in 3D. The tangent-point energy is a self-avoiding functional on the space of embedded surfaces that also penalizes surface…

We investigate the energy-momentum balance in the perforating collision of a point particle with an infinitely thin planar domain wall within the linearized gravity in arbitrary dimensions. Since the metric of the wall increases with…

We study the equilibrium shape of liquid drops minimizing the fractional perimeter under the action of a potential energy. We prove, with a quantitative estimate, that the small volume minimizers are convex and uniformly close to a ball.

We establish small energy H\"{o}lder bounds for minimizers $u_\varepsilon$ of \[E_\varepsilon (u):=\int_\Omega W(\nabla u)+ \frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \int_\Omega f(u),\] where $W$ is a positive definite quadratic form and the potential $f$…

This paper deals with the Lipschitz regularity of minimizers for a class of variational obstacle problems with possible occurance of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. In order to overcome this problem, the availment of the notions of relaxed…

The weak energy condition is known to fail in general when applied to expectation values of the the energy momentum tensor in flat space quantum field theory. It is shown how the usual counter arguments against its validity are no longer…

Let $\mu>0$ be a fixed constant, and we prove that minimizers to the following energy functional \begin{align*} E_f(u,\Omega):=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2+\mu P(\Omega) \end{align*}exist among pairs $(\Omega,u)$ such that $\Omega$ is an…

We show that finite-energy weak solutions to the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations on a three-dimensional bounded smooth domain are regular up to the boundary, provided that the $L^4_tL^4_x$-norm of the solution is smaller than a…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the minimization problem related to a Ginzburg-Landau energy functional, where in particular a nonlinear diffusion of mean curvature-type is considered, together with a classical double well…

Given that a solution to the 3D incompressible Euler equations on a bounded domain blows up at a time $T_\ast$ and that $T_\ast$ is the first such time, we provide pointwise-in-time lower bounds on $\|D^k\omega\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)}$ for $k…

We consider a one-dimensional variational problem arising in connection with a model for cholesteric liquid crystals. The principal feature of our study is the assumption that the twist deformation of the nematic director incurs much higher…

We prove that a solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes or MHD equations does not blow up at $t=T$ provided $\displaystyle \limsup_{q \to \infty} \int_{\mathcal{T}_q}^T \|\Delta_q(\nabla \times u)\|_\infty \, dt$ is small enough, where $u$ is the…

In this work, singularly perturbed energies arising from discrete $J_1$-$J_3$-models are studied. The energies under consideration consist of a non-convex bulk term and a higher-order regularizing term and are subject to incompatible…

We study the regularity of weak solutions to a certain class of second order parabolic system under the only assumption of continuous coefficients. By using the $A-$caloric approximation argument, we claim that the weak solution $u$ to such…

Energy functionals describing phase transitions in crystalline solids are often non-quasiconvex and minimizers might therefore not exist. On the other hand, there might be infinitely many gradient Young measures, modelling microstructures,…
