We prove the local boundedness for solutions to a class of obstacle problems with non-standard growth conditions. The novelty here is that we are able to establish the local boundedness under a sharp bound on the gap between the growth…
Let $\Omega \subset \rr^2$ be a bounded simply connected domain. We show that, for a fixed (every) $p\in (1,\fz),$ the divergence equation $\mathrm{div}\,\mathbf{v}=f$ is solvable in $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)^2$ for every $f\in L^p_0(\Omega)$, if…
We study existence of minimizers of the least gradient problem \[\inf_{v \in BV_g} \int_{\Omega}\varphi(x, Dv),\] where $BV_g=\{v \in BV(\Omega): \int_{\partial \Omega}gv=1\}$, $\varphi(x,p): \Omega\times \R^n \rightarrow \R$ is a convex,…

In this paper, we propose first-order feasible methods for difference-of-convex (DC) programs with smooth inequality and simple geometric constraints. Our strategy for maintaining feasibility of the iterates is based on a "retraction" idea…

Many satisfiability modulo theories solvers implement a variant of the DPLL(T ) framework which separates theory-specific reasoning from reasoning on the propositional abstraction of the formula. Such solvers conclude that a formula is…
The solution of inverse problems in a variational setting finds best estimates of the model parameters by minimizing a cost function that penalizes the mismatch between model outputs and observations. The gradients required by the numerical…
Fix a strictly increasing right continuous with left limits function $W: \bb R \to \bb R$ and a smooth function $\Phi : [l,r] \to \bb R$, defined on some interval $[l,r]$ of $\bb R$, such that $0<b \le \Phi'\le b^{-1}$. We prove that the…
We establish $\mathrm{W}^{1,1}$-regularity and higher gradient integrability for relaxed minimizers of convex integral functionals on $\mathrm{BV}$. Unlike classical examples such as the minimal surface integrand, we only require linear…
Motivated by mechanical problems where external forces are non-smooth, we consider the differential inclusion problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u(x)\in \partial F(u(x))+\lambda \partial G(u(x))\ \mbox{in}\ \Omega \newline u\geq 0\ \mbox{in}\…

This paper shows that error bounds can be used as effective tools for deriving complexity results for first-order descent methods in convex minimization. In a first stage, this objective led us to revisit the interplay between error bounds…

Many practical optimization problems lack strong convexity. Fortunately, recent studies have revealed that first-order algorithms also enjoy linear convergences under various weaker regularity conditions. While the relationship among…
