We consider the Nemytskii operators $u\to |u|$ and $u\to u^{\pm}$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary. We give elementary proofs of the boundedness in $H^s(\Omega)$ with $0\le s<3/2$.

Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…

The paper is concerned with the existence of positive weak solutions for a new class of $\left( p,q\right) $-Laplacian elliptic systems in a bounded domain by means of the method of sub-super solutions. Particularly, we do not need any sign…

It is shown that any smooth strictly convex global solution of $$\det(\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial \xi_{i}\partial \xi_{j}}) = \exp \left\{-\sum_{i=1}^n d_i \frac{\partial u}{\partial \xi_{i}} - d_0\right\},$$ where $d_0$, $d_1$,...,$d_n$…

The gradient of any local minimiser of functionals of the type $$ w \mapsto \int_\Omega f(x,w,Dw)\,dx+\int_\Omega w\mu\,dx, $$ where $f$ has $p$-growth, $p>1$, and $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, is continuous provided the optimal Lorentz…

In this paper, the theory of Gelfand problems is adapted to the 1--Laplacian setting. Concretely, we deal with the following problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{cc} -\Delta_1u=\lambda f(u) &\hbox{in }\Omega\,;\\[2mm] u=0…

We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.

Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…

In the present investigation, we consider two new subclasses N_{{\Sigma}}^{{\mu}}({\alpha},{\lambda}) and N_{{\Sigma}}^{{\mu}}({\beta},{\lambda}) of bi-univalent functions defined in the open unit disk U={z:|z|<1}. Besides, we find upper…

Finding minima of a real valued non-convex function over a high dimensional space is a major challenge in science. We provide evidence that some such functions that are defined on high dimensional domains have a narrow band of values whose…

We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…

The multilinear framework has achieved the breakthrough $1-1/e$ approximation for maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a matroid constraint. This framework has a continuous optimization part and a rounding part. We extend…

We prove two rigidity results for a variational infinity ground state $u$ of an open bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. They state that $u$ coincides with a multiple of the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$ if either…

We study the question whether Lipschitz minimizers of $\int F(\nabla u)\,dx$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are $C^1$ when $F$ is strictly convex. Building on work of De Silva-Savin, we confirm the $C^1$ regularity when $D^2F$ is positive and bounded…
