We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals in $L^p(I)$ for $p \ge 1$, where $I$ is an open interval. We show that the limit is a multiple of the $W^{1, p}(I)$ semi-norm to the power $p$ when $p>1$…

We consider the asymptotic profiles of the nonlinear parabolic flows $$(e^{u})_{t}= \La u+\lambda e^u$$ to show the geometric properties of the following elliptic nonlinear eigenvalue problems known as a Gelfand's problem: \begin{equation*}…

In this paper we study solutions, possibly unbounded and sign-changing, of the following problem: -\D_{\lambda} u=|x|_{\lambda}^a |u|^{p-1}u, in R^n,\;n\geq 1,\; p>1, and a \geq 0, where \D_{\lambda} is a strongly degenerate elliptic…

It is known from the work of Shearer (1985) (and also Scott and Sokal (2005)) that the independence polynomial $Z_G(\lambda)$ of a graph $G$ of maximum degree at most $d+1$ does not vanish provided that $\vert{\lambda}\vert \leq…

Let G be an unramified reductive group over a non archimedian local field F. The so-called "Langlands Fundamental Lemma" is a family of conjectural identities between orbital integrals for G(F) and orbital integrals for endoscopic groups of…

Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a centered convex body of volume one. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c,C > 0$ and an orthonormal set of vectors $\Theta \subset S^{n-1}$ with size $\left|\Theta\right| \ge 9n/10$ such that, if…

This paper addresses the gain of global fractional regularity in Nikolskii spaces for solutions of a class of quasilinear degenerate equations with $(p,q)$-growth. Indeed, we investigate the effects of the datum on the derivatives of order…

We obtain regularity conditions of a new type of problems of the calculus of variations with second-order derivatives. As a corollary, we get non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. Our main result asserts that autonomous integral…

Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be open and $D\subseteq \partial\Omega$ be a closed part of its boundary. Under very mild assumptions on $\Omega$, we construct a bounded Sobolev extension operator for the Sobolev space $\mathrm{W}^{k ,…

In this paper, we prove two Liouville-type theorems for capillary minimal graph over $\mathbb{R}^n_+$. First, if $u$ has linear growth, then for $n=2,3$ and for any $\theta\in(0,\pi)$, or $n\geq4$ and $\theta\in(\frac{\pi}6,\frac{5\pi}6)$,…

What limits how fast a Lyapunov function can decay under input bounds? We address this question by showing how the shape of Lyapunov comparison functions governs guaranteed decay for control affine systems. Using a windowed nominal…

We show that there are no non-trivial linear dependencies among p-norms of vectors in finite dimensions that hold for all p. The proof is by complex analytic continuation.

This is a simplification of our prior work on the existence theory for the Rosseland-type equations. Inspired by the Rosseland equation in the conduction-radiation coupled heat transfer, we use the locally arbitrary growth conditions…

Given a positive function $F$ on $S^n$ which satisfies a convexity condition, for $1\leq r\leq n$, we define the $r$-th anisotropic mean curvature function $H^F_r$ for hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which is a generalization of the…

In this short note, we establish the following result: Let $f:[0,+\infty[\to [0,+\infty[$, $\alpha:[0,1]\to ]0,+\infty[$ be two continuous functions, with $f(0)=0$. Assume that, for some $a>0$, the function $\xi\to…

We show general lower semicontinuity and relaxation theorems for linear-growth integral functionals defined on vector measures that satisfy linear PDE side constraints (of arbitrary order). These results generalize several known lower…

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces $f:\Sigma \to \R^n$, we study the curvature functionals $\mathcal{E}^p(f)$ and $\mathcal{W}^p(f)$ with integrands $(1+|A|^2)^{p/2}$ and $(1+|H|^2)^{p/2}$, respectively. Here $A$ is the second…

Building on work of Wilson, we show that if $G$ is a finitely generated residually soluble group whose growth function $\gamma$ satisfies $(\log \gamma(n))/ n^{1/4} \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$ then $G$ is virtually nilpotent. This shows that…

In a bounded domain $\Omega$, we consider a positive solution of the problem $\Delta u+f(u)=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a locally Lipschitz continuous function. Under sufficient conditions…
