We study $H^1$ versus $C^1$ local minimizers for functionals defined on spaces of symmetric functions, namely functions that are invariant by the action of some subgroups of $\mathcal{O}(N)$. These functionals, in many cases, are associated…
We consider degenerate nonautonomous energies $$ \int_\Omega f(x, Dv)\, dx, $$ for vector-valued functions $v \in W^{1,1}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^N)$, where the integrand $f(x,P)$ satisfies growth and weak uniform quasiconvexity assumption…
We show the H\"older continuity of quasiminimizers of the energy functionals $\int f(x,u,\nabla u)\,dx$ with nonstandard growth under the general structure conditions $$ |z|^{p(x)} - b(x)|y|^{r(x)}-g(x) \leq f(x,y,z) \leq \mu|z|^{p(x)} +…

We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…

In this paper, we consider functionals of the form $H_\alpha(u)=F(u)+\alpha G(u)$ with $\alpha\in[0,+\infty)$, where $u$ varies in a set $U\neq\emptyset$ (without further structure). We first revisit a result stating that, excluding at most…

In this paper we study the regularity of the local minima of integral functionals: in particular, not convexity (quasi-convexity, policonvexity or rank one convexity) hypothesis will be made on the density, neither structure hypothesis nor…
In this paper, we mainly discuss the local regularity of the solution to the following problem \begin{align*} \begin{cases} -\dive({\bf{A}}(x)\nabla u(x))=f(x),&~x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)=0,&~x\in\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{align*} where…
