We show that any minimizer of the well-known ACF functional (for the $p$-Laplacian) is a viscosity solution. This allows us to establish a uniform flatness decay at the two-phase free boundary points to improve the flatness, that boils down…

We study minimizers of non-differentiable functionals of the Alp-Phillips type with two-phases for the $p$-Laplacian , focusing on the geometric and analytical properties of free boundaries. The main result establishes finite…

We prove a lower bound for the Cheeger constant of a cylinder $\Omega\times (0,L)$, where $\Omega$ is an open and bounded set. As a consequence, we obtain existence of minimizers for the shape functional defined as the ratio between the…

We consider a nonlocal isoperimetric problem defined in the whole space $\R^N$, whose nonlocal part is given by a Riesz potential with exponent $\alpha\in(0, N-1)$. We show that critical configurations with positive second variation are…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…

We establish a Rademacher type theorem involving Hamiltonians $H(x,p)$ under very weak conditions in both of Euclidean and Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces. In particular,$H(x,p)$ is assumed to be only measurable in the variable $x$, and to be…

In this paper, we establish an $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for minimizers of an Alt-Phillips type functional subject to constraint maps. We prove that under sufficiently small energy, the minimizers exhibit regularity, and hence…

The minimizers of the anisotropic fractional isoperimetric inequality with respect to the convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are shown to be equivalent to star bodies whenever $K$ is strictly convex and unconditional. From this a…

The gradient of any local minimiser of functionals of the type $$ w \mapsto \int_\Omega f(x,w,Dw)\,dx+\int_\Omega w\mu\,dx, $$ where $f$ has $p$-growth, $p>1$, and $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, is continuous provided the optimal Lorentz…

We prove some regularity results for a priori bounded local minimizers of non-autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(v,\Omega)=\int_\Omega F(x,Dv)dx,$$ under the constraint $v \ge \psi$ a.e. in $\Omega$, where $\psi$ is a…

We construct a continuous Lagrangian, strictly convex and superlinear in the third variable, such that the associated variational problem has a Lipschitz minimizer which is non-differentiable on a dense set. More precisely, the upper and…

We consider the minimization property of a Gagliardo-Slobodeckij seminorm which can be seen as the fractional counterpart of the classical problem of functions of least gradient and which is related to the minimization of the nonlocal…
