We prove existence results for optimization problems for the $k$th Laplace eigenvalue on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $m \geq 3$, depending on the choice of normalization. One such normalization leads to eigenvalue optimization…

Slepian functions provide a solution to the optimization problem of joint time-frequency localization. Here, this concept is extended by using a generalized optimization criterion that favors energy concentration in one interval while…
We provide theory for computing the lower semi-continuous convex envelope of functionals of the type f(x) plus an l2 misfit, and discuss applications to various non-convex optimization problems. The latter term is a data fit term whereas f…

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\Omega}G(|\nabla u|) dx$ in the class of functions $W^{1,G}(\Omega)$, with a constrain on the volume of $\{u>0\}$. The conditions on the function $G$ allow for a different behavior…
We study an optimal control problem in which both the objective function and the dynamic constraint contain an uncertain parameter. Since the distribution of this uncertain parameter is not exactly known, the objective function is taken as…
We consider the problem of multi-objective maximization of monotone submodular functions subject to cardinality constraint, often formulated as $\max_{|A|=k}\min_{i\in\{1,\dots,m\}}f_i(A)$. While it is widely known that greedy methods work…
In this paper, we discuss a class of spectral partition problems with a measure constraint, for partitions of a given bounded connected open set. We establish the existence of an optimal open partition, showing that the corresponding…
We propose a new approach to study the existence and non-existence of maximizers for the variational problems associated with Sobolev type inequalities both in the subcritical case and critical case under the equivalent constraints. The…
We discuss a problem of handling resource reservations. The resource can be reserved for some time, it can be freed or it can be queried what is the largest amount of reserved resource during a time interval. We show that the problem has a…
In the contest of optimal control problems, regularity results for optima are known when addressing fiber-strictly convex Lagrangian. For infinite time horizons, or for settings with infinite dimensional dynamics, the equivalence between…

We study optimization problems that are neither approximable in polynomial time (at least with a constant factor) nor fixed parameter tractable, under widely believed complexity assumptions. Specifically, we focus on Maximum Independent…
An optimal control problem with a time-parameter is considered. The functional to be optimized includes the maximum over time-horizon reached by a function of the state variable, and so an $L^\infty$-term. In addition to the classical…
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem subject to the $H^1$-critical defocusing semilinear wave equation on a smooth and bounded domain in three spatial dimensions. Due to the criticality of the nonlinearity in the wave…
