We prove an approximation result for functions $u\in SBV(\Omega;\mathbb R^m)$ such that $\nabla u$ is $p$-integrable, $1\leq p<\infty$, and $g_0(|[u]|)$ is integrable over the jump set (whose $\mathcal H^{n-1}$ measure is possibly…

We discuss the regularity of extremal functions in certain weighted Bergman and Fock type spaces. Given an appropriate analytic function $k$, the corresponding extremal function is the function with unit norm maximizing $\text{Re}…

The starting point of this paper is the study of the asymptotic behavior, as $p\to\infty$, of the following minimization problem $$ \min\left\{\frac1{p}\int|\nabla v|^{p}+\frac12\int(v-f)^2 \,, \quad \ v\in W^{1,p} (\Omega)\right\}. $$ We…

This paper relates the lower semi-continuity of an integral functional in the compensated compactness setting of vector fields satisfying a constant-rank first-order differential constraint, to closed $\mathcal{A}$-$p$ quasiconvexity of the…

Solutions to elliptic equations often exhibit higher regularity properties such as \emph{higher integrability}. That is, for instance, a solution $u$ to a system that a priori only satisfies $ u \in W^{1,r}$ is more regular and even in the…

Given a bounded open connected Lipschitz set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, we show that the relaxed Cartesian area functional $\overline{\mathcal A}(u,\Omega)$ of a map $u\in W^{1,1}(\Omega;\mathbb S^1)$ is finite, and provide a useful…

In this work we study the existence of solutions $u \in W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ to the implicit elliptic problem $ f(x, u, \nabla u, \Delta_p u)= 0$ in $ \Omega $, where $ \Omega $ is a bounded domain in $ \mathbb R^N $, $ N \ge 2 $, with smooth…

The aim of this paper is to deal with the asymptotics of generalized Orlicz norms when the lower growth rate tends to infinity. $\Gamma$-convergence results and related representation theorems in terms of $L^\infty$ functionals are proven…

Using Harnack's inequality and a scaling argument we study Liouville-type theorems and the asymptotic behaviour of positive solutions near an isolated singular point $\zeta \in \partial\Omega\cup\{\infty\}$ for the quasilinear elliptic…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals in $L^p(I)$ for $p \ge 1$, where $I$ is an open interval. We show that the limit is a multiple of the $W^{1, p}(I)$ semi-norm to the power $p$ when $p>1$…

Verifying lower-semicontinuity of integral functionals in the weak topology of Sobolev spaces is a central theme in the calculus of variations. For integral functionals with $p$-growth, quasiconvexity is a necessary condition for weak…

We establish a sub-convexity estimate for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the combined level aspect, using the circle method. If $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers, $f$ and $g$ are non-exceptional newforms (modular or Maass) for the…

We investigate surfaces with bounded L^p-norm of the fractional mean curvature, a quantity we shall refer to as fractional Willmore-type functional. In the subcritical case and under convexity assumptions we show how this…

The modeling of fracture problems within geometrically linear elasticity is often based on the space of generalized functions of bounded deformation $GSBD^p(\Omega)$, $p\in(1,\infty)$, their treatment is however hindered by the very low…
