A counterexample to uniqueness of global minimizers of semilinear optimal control problems is given. The lack of uniqueness occurs for a special choice of the state-target in the cost functional. Our arguments show also that, for some…
In any dimension $N \geq 1$, for given mass $m > 0$ and for the $C^1$ energy functional \begin{equation*} I(u):=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(u)dx, \end{equation*} we revisit the classical problem of…
We study the quantitative stability of the mapping that to a measure associates its pushforward measure by a fixed (non-smooth) optimal transport map. We exhibit a tight H\"older-behavior for this operation under minimal assumptions. Our…
Symmetric quasiconvexity plays a key role for energy minimization in geometrically linear elasticity theory. Due to the complexity of this notion, a common approach is to retreat to necessary and sufficient conditions that are easier to…

We consider the generalized Choquard equation describing trapped electron gas in 3 dimensional case. The study of orbital stability of the energy minimizers (known as ground states) depends essentially in the local uniqueness of these…
This paper discusses a general and useful stability principle which, roughly speaking, says that given a uniformly continuous function defined on an arbitrary metric space, if the function is bounded on the constraint set and we slightly…
This paper addresses several problems associated to local energy solutions (in the sense of Lemari\'e-Rieusset) to the Navier-Stokes equations with initial data which is sufficiently small at large or small scales as measured using…
We investigate variational problems in large-strain magnetoelasticity, both in the static and in the quasistatic setting. The model contemplates a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation: while deformations are defined on the reference…
We show that an optimality condition of M-stationarity type holds for minimizers of a class of mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (MPCCs) in Lebesgue spaces. We apply these results also to local minimizers of an inverse…
We consider the problem of maximizing a convex function over a closed convex set in a real Hilbert space. For linear functions, we show that a single orthogonal projection suffices to obtain an approximate solution. For continuous convex…
We propose and analyze a structure-preserving space-time variational discretization method for the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system. Uniqueness and stability for the discrete problem is established in the presence of concentration…
