Using reflection positivity techniques we prove the existence of minimizers for a class of mesoscopic free-energies representing 1D systems with competing interactions. All minimizers are either periodic, with zero average, or of constant…
In 1989 Almgren and Lieb proved a rearrangement inequality for the Sobolev spaces of fractional order $W^{s,p}$. The case $p = 2$ of their result implies the nonlocal isoperimetric inequality \[ \frac{P_s(E)}{|E|^{\frac{N-2s}N}} \ge…
A mean step in Haagerup's proof for the optimal constants in Khintchine's inequality is to show integral inequalities of type $\int(g^s-f^s)\mathrm{d}\mu\geq 0$. F.L. Nazarov and A.N. Podkorytov made Haagerup's proof much more clearer for…
A class of parametric optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations with mixed pointwise constraints is investigated. The perturbations appear in the objective functional, the state equation and in mixed pointwise…
In this Letter, we present a rigorous method to study the stability of periodic lasing systems. In a linear model, the presence of a continuum of modes (with arbitrarily close lasing thresholds) gives the impression that stable single-mode…
We present an overview over recent results concerning semi-classical spectral estimates for magnetic Schroedinger operators. We discuss how the constants in magnetic and non-magnetic eigenvalue bounds are related and we prove, in an…
We approximate an elliptic problem with oscillatory coefficients using a problem of the same type, but with constant coefficients. We deliberately take an engineering perspective, where the information on the oscillatory coefficients in the…
In this paper, we study the best constant of the following discrete Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, \begin{equation} \sum_{i,j,i\neq j}\frac{f_{i}g_{j}}{\mid i-j\mid^{n-\alpha}}\leq C_{r,s,\alpha} |f|_{l^r} |g|_{l^s},…
We consider finite element approximations to the optimal constant for the Hardy inequality with exponent $p=2$ in bounded domains of dimension $n=1$ or $n \geq 3$. For finite element spaces of piecewise linear and continuous functions on a…
In this paper, we will establish the best constants for certain classes of weighted Moser-Trudinger inequalities on the entire Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^N$. We will also prove the existence of maximizers of these sharp weighted…
In this paper we study the existence of maximizers for two families of interpolation inequalities, namely a generalized Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality and a new inequality involving the Riesz energy. Two basic tools in our argument are a…
We introduce a meta logarithmic-Sobolev (log-Sobolev) inequality for the Lindbladian of all single-mode phase-covariant Gaussian channels of bosonic quantum systems, and prove that this inequality is saturated by thermal states. We show…
A new and elementary proof of a recent result of Laptev and Weidl is given. It is a sharp Lieb-Thirring inequality for one dimensional Schroedinger operators with matrix valued potentials.
It is a well-known conjecture, sometimes attributed to Frankl, that for any family of sets which is closed under the union operation, there is some element which is contained in at least half of the sets. Gilmer was the first to prove a…
In this paper, we investigate the borderline regularity of local minimizers of energy functionals under minimal assumptions on the potential term $\sigma$. When $\sigma$ is merely bounded and measurable, we show that sign-changing…
We consider the Laplace operator on a triangle, subject to attractive Robin boundary conditions. We prove that the equilateral triangle is a local maximiser of the lowest eigenvalue among all triangles of a given area provided that the…
In this paper, we consider a family of second-order elliptic systems subject to a periodically oscillating Robin boundary condition. We establish the qualitative homogenization theorem on any Lipschitz domains satisfying a non-resonance…
We prove upper and lower bounds on the ground-state energy of the ideal two-dimensional anyon gas. Our bounds are extensive in the particle number, as for fermions, and linear in the statistics parameter $\alpha$. The lower bounds extend to…
One classical measure of the quality of an interpolating function is its Lipschitz constant. In this paper we consider interpolants with additional smoothness requirements, in particular that their derivatives be Lipschitz. We show that…
We study to what extent Lieb--Thirring inequalities are extendable from self-adjoint to general (possibly non-self-adjoint) Jacobi and Schr\"{o}dinger operators. Namely, we prove the conjecture of Hansmann and Katriel from [Complex Anal.…
