We study the regularity of minimizers to the functional \[ J(w)=\int_{\Omega} a^{ij}w_iw_j + Q\chi_{\{w>0\}}, \] over a bounded domain $\Omega$ and among the class of nonnegative functions in $W^{1,2}(\Omega)$ with prescribed boundary data.…

We analyze the topological structure of the Nehari set for a class of functionals depending on a real parameter $\lambda$, and having two degrees of homogeneity. A special attention is paid to the extremal parameter $\lambda^*$, which is…

Established in the 30's, Schauder {\it a priori} estimates are among the most classical and powerful tools in the analysis of problems ruled by 2nd order elliptic PDEs. Since then, a central problem in regularity theory has been to…

We prove a partial regularity result for local minimizers of quasiconvex variational integrals with general growth. The main tool is an improved A-harmonic approximation, which should be interesting also for classical growth.

We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…
