We investigate minimizers defined on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for singular constrained energy functionals that include Ball and Majumdar's modification of the Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor model for nematic liquid crystals.…
We prove the local H\"{o}lder continuity of strong local minimizers of the stored energy functional \[E(u)=\int_{\om}\lambda |\nabla u|^{2}+h(\det \nabla u) \,dx\] subject to a condition of `positive twist'. The latter turns out to be…
We construct Lipschitz $Q$-valued functions which approximate carefully integral currents when their cylindrical excess is small and they are almost minimizing in a suitable sense. This result is used in two subsequent works to prove the…

We consider autonomous integral functionals of the form $\mathcal F[u]:=\int_\Omega f(D u)\,dx$ with $u:\Omega\to\mathbb R^N$ $N\geq1$, where the convex integrand $f$ satisfies controlled $(p,q)$-growth conditions. We establish higher…
Combining information both within and between sample realizations, we propose a simple estimator for the local regularity of surfaces in the functional data framework. The independently generated surfaces are measured with errors at…
The formalism which has been developed to give general expressions for the determinants of differential operators is extended to the physically interesting situation where these operators have a zero mode which has been extracted. In the…
For \alpha in the interval [0,1], we consider the one-parameter family of \alpha-continued fraction maps, which include the Gauss map (\alpha=1) and the nearest integer (\alpha=1/2) and by-excess (\alpha=0) continued fraction maps. To each…
