The present paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of equi-coercive sequences $\{\mathcal{F}_n\}$ of nonlinear functionals defined over vector-valued functions in $W_)^{1,p}(\Omega)^M$ , where $p>1$, $M\ge1$, and $\Omega$ is a bounded…

For $N\geq 4$, we let $\Omega$ to be a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $\Gamma$ a smooth closed submanifold of $\Omega$ of dimension $k$ with $1\leq k \leq N-2$ and $h$ a continuous function defined on $\Omega$. We denote by…

We study simultaneous homogenization and dimensional reduction of integral functionals for maps in manifold-valued Sobolev spaces. Due to the superlinear growth regime, we prove that the density of the $\Gamma$-limit is a tangential…

We derive a new criterion for a real-valued function $u$ to be in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}(\R^n)$. This criterion consists of comparing the value of a functional $\int f(u)$ with the values of the same functional applied to convolutions…

We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of $u$ and on the behaviour of $u$ near the discontinuity points, by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise…

The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

The singularities of the $\Gamma$ function, a meromorphic function on the complex plane, are known to occur at the nonpositive integers. We show, using Euler and Gauss identities, that for all positive integers $n$ and $k$, $$…

We introduce Omega functions that generalize Euler Gamma functions and study the functional difference equation they satisfy. Under a natural exponential growth condition, the vector space of meromorphic solutions of the functional equation…

We study the approximation properties of a harmonic function $u \in H\sp{1-k}(\Omega)$, $k > 0$, on relatively compact sub-domain $A$ of $\Omega$, using the Generalized Finite Element Method. For smooth, bounded domains $\Omega$, we obtain…

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact codimension-two submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $L$ be a nontrivial real line bundle over $X = \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Gamma$. We study the Allen--Cahn functional, \[E_\varepsilon(u) = \int_X \varepsilon…

We prove an integral representation theorem for the $\mathrm{L}^1(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$-relaxation of the functional \[ \mathcal{F}\colon u\mapsto\int_\Omega f(x,u(x),\nabla u(x))\;\mathrm{dd } x,\quad…

We will prove several existence and regularity results for the mixed local-nonlocal parabolic equation of the form \begin{eqnarray} \begin{split} u_t-\Delta u+(-\Delta)^s u&=\frac{f(x,t)}{u^{\gamma(x,t)}} \text { in } \Omega_T:=\Omega…

In unbounded subset $\Omega$ in $R^n$ we study the operator $u\rightarrow gu$ as an operator defined in the Sobolev space $W^{r,p}(\Omega)$ and which takes values in $L^p(\Omega)$. The functions $g$ belong to wider spaces of $L^p$ connected…

Given a family of locally Lipschitz vector fields $X(x)=(X_1(x),\dots,X_m(x))$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, $m\leq n$, we study functionals depending on $X$. We prove an integral representation for local functionals with respect to $X$ and a result…

This paper deals with the variational analysis, for every $s \in (0,1)$ and $p \in [1,+\infty)$, of $(s,p)$-Gagliardo seminorms in a periodic setting. First, we consider the space of $L^p$, $T$-periodic functions and define the energy…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain that can be written as $\Omega=\bigcup_{t} \Omega_t$, where $\{\Omega_t\}_{t\in\Gamma}$ is a countable collection of domains with certain properties. In this work, we develop a technique…

We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals proposed and investigated by J. Bourgain, H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a series of papers of the last decade. It was known that this family of functionals Gamma-converges to a…
