In the main theorem of this paper we treat the problem of existence of minimizers of the isoperimetric problem under the assumption of small volumes. Applications of the main theorem to asymptotic expansions of the isoperimetric problem are…

The existence of minimizers in the fractional isoperimetric problem with multiple volume constraints is proved, together with a partial regularity result.

We address small volume-fraction asymptotic properties of a nonlocal isoperimetric functional with a confinement term, derived as the sharp interface limit of a variational model for self-assembly of diblock copolymers under confinement by…

We consider a non local isoperimetric problem arising as the sharp interface limit of the Ohta-Kawasaki free energy introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. We perform a second order variational analysis that allows…

We consider the Fermi quantization of the classical damped harmonic oscillator (dho). In past work on the subject, authors double the phase space of the dho in order to close the system at each moment in time. For an infinite-dimensional…

In this article we consider the isoperimetric problem for partitioning the plane into three disjoint domains, one having unit area and the remaining two having infinite area. We show that the only solution, up to rigid motions of the plane,…

Diffusion of particles through an heterogenous obstacle line is modeled as a two-dimensional diffusion problem with a one--directional nonlinear convective drift and is examined using two-scale asymptotic analysis. At the scale where the…

We investigate partial regularity for vector valued local minimizers of double phase functionals, under vectorial obstacle type constraints satisfying appropriate topological properties.

We solve a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^2_+ :=\left\{ (x,y)\in \mathbb{R} ^2 : y>0 \right\}$ with respect to monomial weights. Let $\alpha $ and $\beta $ be real numbers such that $0\le \alpha <\beta+1$, $\beta\le 2…

This paper concerns the asymptotic expansion of the solution of the Dirichlet-Laplace problem in a domain with small inclusions. This problem is well understood for the Neumann condition in dimension greater than two or Dirichlet condition…

We study an isoperimetric problem described by a functional that consists of the standard Gaussian perimeter and the norm of the barycenter. This second term has a repulsive effect, and it is in competition with the perimeter. Because of…

We consider capillarity functionals which measure the perimeter of sets contained in a Euclidean half-space assigning a constant weight $\lambda \in (-1,1)$ to the portion of the boundary that touches the boundary of the half-space.…

This doctoral thesis is devoted to the analysis of some minimization problems that involve nonlocal functionals. We are mainly concerned with the $s$-fractional perimeter and its minimizers, the $s$-minimal sets. We investigate the behavior…

We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

We use a new approach that we call unification to prove that standard weighted double bubbles in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space minimize immiscible fluid surface energy, that is, surface area weighted by constants. The result is new for…

In this article, we study a class of fully nonlinear double-divergence systems with free boundaries associated with a minimization problem. The variational structure of Hessian-dependent functional plays a fundamental role in proving the…

We study the following problem: describe the triplets $(\Omega,g,\mu)$, $\mu=\rho\,dx$, where $g= (g^{ij}(x))$ is the (co)metric associated with the symmetric second order differential operator $L (f) = \frac{1}{\rho}\sum_{ij} \partial_i…

We consider sets in $\mathbb R^N$ which minimise, for fixed volume, the sum of the perimeter and a non-local term given by the double integral of a kernel $g:\mathbb R^N\setminus\{0\}\to \mathbb R^+$. We establish some general existence and…

We consider a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+} $ where the volume and the area element carry two different weights of the type $|x|^lx_N^\alpha$. We solve them in a special case while a more detailed study is contained…

We add a random bulk term, modelling the interaction with the impurities of the medium, to a standard functional in the gradient theory of phase transitions consisting of a gradient term with a double well potential. We show that in $d\le2$…
