We establish a regularity result for optimal sets of the isoperimetric problem with double density under mild ($\alpha$-)H\"older regularity assumptions on the density functions. Our main Theorem improves some previous results and allows to…
The regularity theory of the Campanato space $\mathcal{L}^{(q,\lambda)}_k(\Omega)$ has found many applications within the regularity theory of solutions to various geometric variational problems. Here we extend this theory from…
We provide theory for the computation of convex envelopes of non-convex functionals including an l2-term, and use these to suggest a method for regularizing a more general set of problems. The applications are particularly aimed at…
We provide novel theoretical results regarding local optima of regularized $M$-estimators, allowing for nonconvexity in both loss and penalty functions. Under restricted strong convexity on the loss and suitable regularity conditions on the…
The Aviles Giga functional is a well known second order functional that forms a model for blistering and in a certain regime liquid crystals, a related functional models thin magnetized films. Given Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset R^2$ the…
We prove the optimal $W^{2,\infty}$ regularity for variational problems with convex gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity of the constraints; so the constraints can be nonsmooth, and they need not be strictly convex. When…
We consider the relaxation of polyconvex functionals with linear growth with respect to the strict convergence in the space of functions of bounded variation. These functionals appears as relaxation of $F(u,\Omega):=\int_\Omega f(\nabla…
We study maximal regularity with respect to continuous functions for strongly continuous semigroups on locally convex spaces as well as its relation to the notion of admissible operators. This extends several results for classical strongly…
Regularity theorems \`a la Avellaneda-Lin are an indispensable part of the modern quantitative theory of stochastic homogenization. While interior regularity results for random elliptic operators have been available for a while, on general…
We show that in the two-dimensional case, every objective, isotropic and isochoric energy function which is rank-one convex on $\mathrm{GL}^+(2)$ is already polyconvex on $\mathrm{GL}^+(2)$. Thus we negatively answer Morrey's conjecture in…
We prove local Lipschitz regularity for local minimiser of \[ W^{1,1}(\Omega)\ni v\mapsto \int_\Omega F(Dv)\, dx \] where $\Omega\subseteq {\mathbb R}^N$, $N\ge 2$ and $F:{\mathbb R}^N\to {\mathbb R}$ is a quasiuniformly convex integrand in…
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…
We get a new multiplicity result for gradient systems. Here is a very particular corollary: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) be a smooth bounded domain and let $\Phi:{\bf R}^2\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ function, with $\Phi(0,0)=0$,…
In his big regularity paper, Almgren has proven the regularity theorem for mass-minimizing integral currents. One key step in his paper is to derive the regularity of Dirichlet-minimizing $\mathbf{Q}_{Q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-valued functions in…
For any $n\ge 2$, $\Omega\subset\rn$, and any given convex and coercive Hamiltonian function $H\in C^{0}(\rn)$, we find an optimal sufficient condition on $H$, that is, for any $c\in\mathbb R$, the level set $H^{-1}(c)$ does not contains…
We consider the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the parabolic equation \[ u_t- \operatorname{div} \left(|\nabla u|^{p(x,t)-2} \nabla u\right)= f(x,t) + F(x,t, u, \nabla u) \] in the cylinder $Q_T:=\Omega\times (0,T)$, where $\Omega\subset…
We prove that if a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $D \subset \mathbb C^n$, $n \geq 2$, admits at least one Monge-Amp\`ere exhaustion smooth up to the boundary (i.e. a plurisubharmonic exhaustion $\tau: \overline D \to [0,1]$,…
We shown that every continuous local functional on the space of finite convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a valuation. This relation is used to establish a homogeneous decomposition for the class of polynomial local functionals as well…
In this note we prove that any $W^{1,2}$ mapping $u$ in the plane that minimizes an appropriate quasiconvex energy functional subject to the Jacobian constraint ${\rm det} \na u=1$ a.e., are necessarily Lipschitz. Furthermore we show that…
We consider a class of fully nonlinear integro-differential operators where the nonlocal integral has two components: the non-degenerate one corresponds to the $\alpha$-stable operator and the second one (possibly degenerate) corresponds to…
