We consider the following problem: minimize the functional $\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))\, dx$ in the class of concave functions $u: \Omega \to [0,M]$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a convex body and $M > 0$. If $f(x) = 1/(1 +…

In this work, we prove the $L^3$-based strong Onsager conjecture for the three-dimensional Euler equations. Our main theorem states that there exist weak solutions which dissipate the total kinetic energy, satisfy the local energy…
It has been well known that if $\Omega$ is a bounded $C^1$-domain in $\R^n,\ n \ge 2$, then for every Radon measure $f$ on $\Omega$ with finite total variation, there exists a unique weak solution $u\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega )$ of the Poisson…
In this note two results are established for energy functionals that are given by the integral of $ W(\mathbf x,\nabla \mathbf u(\mathbf x))$ over $\Omega \subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\nabla \mathbf u \in BMO(\Omega;{\mathbb R}^{N\times n})$,…
We obtain a universal energy estimate up to the boundary for stable solutions of semilinear equations with variable coefficients. Namely, we consider solutions to $- L u = f(u)$, where $L$ is a linear uniformly elliptic operator and $f$ is…
This paper is devoted to show a couple of typicality results for weak solutions $v\in C^\theta$ of the Euler equations, in the case $\theta<1/3$. It is known that convex integration schemes produce wild weak solutions that exhibit anomalous…
We study weak solutions and minimizers $u$ of the non-autonomous problems $\operatorname{div} A(x, Du)=0$ and $\min_v \int_\Omega F(x,Dv)\,dx$ with quasi-isotropic $(p, q)$-growth. We consider the case that $u$ is bounded, H\"older…
Steady states of the thin film equation $u_t+[u^3 (u_xxx + \alpha^2 u_x -\sin(x) )]_x=0$ are considered on the periodic domain $\Omega = (-\pi,\pi)$. The equation defines a generalized gradient flow for an energy functional that controls…
