We establish the local Lipschitz continuity and the higher differentiability of vector-valued local minimizers of a class of energy integrals of the Calculus of Variations. The main novelty is that we deal with possibly degenerate energy…

For a given constant $\lambda > 0$ and a bounded Lipschitz domain $D \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \geq 2$), we establish that almost-minimizers of the functional $$ J(\mathbf{v}; D) = \int_D \sum_{i=1}^{m} \left|\nabla v_i(x) \right|^p+…

We show that the subgradient method converges only to local minimizers when applied to generic Lipschitz continuous and subdifferentially regular functions that are definable in an o-minimal structure. At a high level, the argument we…

We consider integral functionals with slow growth and explicit dependence on u of the lagrangian; this includes many relevant examples, as, for instance, in elastoplastic torsion problems or in image restoration problems. Our aim is to…

We study the local asymptotic behavior of divergence-like functionals of a family of $d$-dimensional Infinitely Divisible Random Fields. Specifically, we derive limit theorems of surface integrals over Lipschitz manifolds for this class of…

We provide new necessary and sufficient conditons for ensuring strong quasiconvexity in the nonsmooth case and, as a consequence, we provide a proof for the differentiable case. Furthermore, we improve the quadratic growth property for…

An Ahlfors-type regularity result for free-discontinuity energies defined on the space $SBV^{\varphi}$ of special functions of bounded variation with $\varphi$-growth, where $\varphi$ is a generalized Orlicz function, is proved. Our…

We consider a family of domains $(\Omega_N)_{N>0}$ obtained by attaching an $N\times 1$ rectangle to a fixed set $\Omega_0 = \{(x,y): 0<y<1, -\phi(y)<x<0\}$, for a Lipschitz function $\phi\geq 0$. We derive full asymptotic expansions, as…

We study the oracle complexity of nonsmooth nonconvex optimization, with the algorithm assumed to have access only to local function information. It has been shown by Davis, Drusvyatskiy, and Jiang (2023) that for nonsmooth Lipschitz…

We introduce a notion of non-local almost minimal boundaries similar to that introduced by Almgren in geometric measure theory. Extending methods developed recently for non-local minimal surfaces we prove that flat non-local almost minimal…

We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

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

Simple asymptotic expansions for the Jacobi functions $P_\nu^{(\alpha, \beta)}(z)$ and $Q_\nu^{(\alpha, \beta)}(z)$ for large degree $\nu$, with fixed parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$, are surprisingly rare in the literature, with only a few…

We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor's result [Ta] that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$ are locally $C^{1+\alpha}$-equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but…

In this work we prove some abstract results about the existence of a minimizer for locally Lipschitz functionals, without any assumption of homogeneity, over a set which has its definition inspired in the Nehari manifold. As applications we…

We prove the interior and global Lipschitz regularity results for a solution of fully nonlinear equations with $(p,q)$-growth. We prove that for a small gap $q-p$, a solution is locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. We also prove that a…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

We consider the problem of minimizing the Lagrangian $\int [F(\nabla u)+f\,u]$ among functions on $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ with given boundary datum $\varphi$. We prove Lipschitz regularity up to the boundary for solutions of this…

We are interested in the regularity of weak solutions $u$ to the elliptic equation in divergence form; precisely in their local boundedness and their local Lipschitz continuity under general growth conditions, the so called $p,q-$growth…

We prove that minimizers of variational problems on open sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ $$ \mbox{minimize}\quad \mathcal E(v)=\int_\Omega f(v(x))\mathrm{d} x\quad\text{for } \mathscr{A} v=0, $$ are partially continuous provided that the…
