We prove $L^p$ quantitative differentiability estimates for functions defined on uniformly rectifiable subsets of the Euclidean space. More precisely, we show that a Dorronsoro-type theorem holds in this context: the $L^p$ norm of the…
For each $p>2$ we give intrinsic characterizations of the restriction of the homogeneous Sobolev space $L^1_p(R^2)$ to an arbitrary finite subset $E$ of $R^2$. The trace criterion is expressed in terms of certain weighted oscillations of…
This short note investigates the compact embedding of degenerate matrix weighted Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces. The Sobolev spaces explored are defined as the abstract completion of Lipschitz functions in a bounded domain…
The paper deals with homogenization and higher order approximations of solutions to nonlocal evolution equations of convolution type whose coefficients are periodic in the spatial variables and random stationary in time. We assume that the…
In this paper we provide a different approach for existence of the variational solutions of the gradient flows associated to functionals on Sobolev spaces studied in \cite{BDDMS20}. The crucial condition is the convexity of the functional…
In this paper, two multiplicity results about local minima of integrals of the calculus of variations are established. The main tool used to prove them is the theory developed in [B. Ricceri, Sublevel sets and global minima of coercive…
A common problem in physics and engineering is the calculation of the minima of energy functionals. The theory of Sobolev gradients provides an efficient method for seeking the critical points of such a functional. We apply the method to…
This work deals with the homogenization of functionals with linear growth in the context of $\mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity. A representation theorem is proved, where the new integrand function is obtained by solving a cell problem where the…
We prove a homogenization result for integral functionals in domains with oscillating boundaries, showing that the limit is defined on a degenerate Sobolev space. We apply this result to the description of the asymptotic behaviour of thin…
The homogenization of periodic elastic composites is addressed through the reformulation of the local equations of the mechanical problem in a geometric functional setting. This relies on the definition of Hilbert spaces of kinematically…
In this paper, we extend the fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents $W^{s,p(x,y)}$ to include the general fractional case $W^{K,p(x,y)}$, where $p$ is a variable exponent, $s\in (0,1)$ and $K$ is a suitable kernel. We are…
We prove a characterization of some $L^p$-Sobolev spaces involving the quadratic symmetrization of the Calder\'on commutator kernel, which is related to a square function with differences of difference quotients. An endpoint weak type…
We consider a class of integral functionals with Musielak-Orlicz type variable growth, possibly linear in some regions of the domain. This includes $p(x)$ power-type integrands with $p(x)\ge 1$ as well as double-phase $p\!-\!q$ integrands…
We consider the well-travelled problem of homogenization of random integral functionals. When the integrand has standard growth conditions, the qualitative theory is well-understood. When it comes to unbounded functionals, that is, when the…
In this paper, we consider a class of variational problems with integral functionals involving nonlocal gradients. These models have been recently proposed as refinements of classical hyperelasticity, aiming for an effective framework to…
The local (central) limit theorem precisely describes the behavior of iterated convolution powers of a probability distribution on the $d$-dimensional integer lattice, $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Under certain mild assumptions on the distribution, the…
We prove that maximal operators of convolution type associated to smooth kernels are bounded in the homogeneous Hardy-Sobolev spaces $\dot{H}^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ when $1/p < 1+1/d$. This range of exponents is sharp. As a by-product of the…
We study the limit behaviour of singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals of the form \[ \mathcal F_k(u,v)=\int_A v^2\,f_k(x,\nabla u)\.dx+\frac{1}{\varepsilon_k}\int_A g_k(x,v,\varepsilon_k\nabla v)\.dx\,, \] where $u$ is a vector-valued…
