We study energy functionals obtained by adding a possibly discontinuous potential to an interaction term modeled upon a Gagliardo-type fractional seminorm. We prove that minimizers of such non-differentiable functionals are locally bounded,…

We show that the support of any local minimizer of the interaction energy consists of isolated points whenever the interaction potential is of class $C^2$ and mildly repulsive at the origin; moreover, if the minimizer is global, then its…

We establish conditions to ensure the existence of minimizer for a class of mass-constrained functionals involving a nonattractive point interaction in three dimensions. The existence of minimizers follows from the compactness of minimizing…

The aim of this paper is to extend worst risk minimization, also called worst average loss minimization, to the functional realm. This means finding a functional regression representation that will be robust to future distribution shifts on…

In this paper, using the theory developed in [8], we obtain some results of a totally new type about a class of non-local problems. Here is a sample: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain, with $n\geq 4$, let $a, b,…

Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain. In this paper, we prove a result of which the following is a by-product: Let $q\in ]0,1[$, $\alpha\in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, with $\alpha>0$, and $k\in {\bf N}$. Then, the problem…
