Using a recent result of C. De Lellis and L. Sz\'{e}kelyhidi Jr. we show that, in the case of periodic boundary conditions and for dimension greater or equal 2, there exist infinitely many global weak solutions to the incompressible Euler…

We consider the semi-linear, defocusing wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = -|u|^{p-1} u$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $1+4/(d-1)\leq p < 1+4/(d-2)$. We generalize the inward/outward energy theory and weighted Morawetz estimates in 3D to…

We study standing-wave solutions of Born-Infeld electrodynamics, with nonzero electromagnetic field in a region between two parallel conducting plates. We consider the simplest case which occurs when the vector potential describing the…

In this paper, we are concerned with the following type of fractional problems: $$ \begin{cases}\dis (-\Delta)^{s} u-\mu\frac{u}{|x|^{2s}}-\lambda u=|u|^{2^*_{s}-2}u+f(x,u), &\text{in} \Omega,\ \ \, u=0\,&\text{in} \R^N\backslash\Omega…

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u|^2\,\mathrm{d}x$ with double obstacles $\phi\leq u\leq\psi$ a.e. in $D$ and a constraint on the volume of $\{u>0\}\setminus\overline{D}$, where…

In this paper, we consider the following minimizing problem with two constraints: \[ \inf \left\{ E(u) | u=(u_1,u_2), \ \| u_1 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_1, \ \| u_2 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_2 \right\}, \] where $\alpha_1,\alpha_2 > 0$ and $E(u)$ is…

Let $K$ be a Klein bottle. We show that the infimum of the Willmore energy among all immersed Klein bottles in Euclidean $n$-space is attained by a smooth embedded Klein bottle, where $n\geq 4$. There are three distinct regular homotopy…

We establish a new estimate for the Ginzburg-Landau energies $E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{1}{2}|du|^2+\frac{1}{4\epsilon^2}(1-|u|^2)^2$ of complex-valued maps $u$ on a compact, oriented manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)\neq 0$, obtained by…

For the nonlinear Fokker--Planck equation $$\partial_tu = \Delta\beta(u)-\nabla \Phi \cdot \nabla \beta(u) - div_{\varrho}\big(D(x)b(u)u\big),\quad (t,x) \in (0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^d,$$ where $\varrho = \exp(-\Phi)$ is the density of a…

In 2001 Wolansky \cite{Wol} introduced a particle number-Casimir functional for the Einstein-Vlasov system. Two open questions are associated with this functional. First, a meaningful variational problem should be formulated and the…

Let $\gamma > 0\,$, $\beta > 0\,$, $\alpha > 0$ and $0 < \sigma N < 4$. In the present paper, we study, for $c > 0$ given, the constrained minimization problem \begin{equation*} \label{MinL2fixed} m(c):=\inf_{u\in S (c) }E(u),…

This paper investigates the local regularity of solutions to stationary Fokker-Planck equations on an open set $U \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. A central objective is to relax the classical assumptions on the coefficients by…
