We study existence, unicity and other geometric properties of the minimizers of the energy functional $$ \|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, $$ where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$…
We prove the lower semicontinuity of functionals of the form \[ \int \limits_\Omega \! V(\alpha) \, \mathrm{d} |\mathrm{E} u| \, , \] with respect to the weak converge of $\alpha$ in $W^{1,\gamma}(\Omega)$, $\gamma > 1$, and the weak*…

We consider the problem $(P)$, $$ -\Delta u =c(x)u+\mu|\nabla u|^2 +f(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega),$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geq 3$, $\mu>0, \, c \in…
For $0<\alpha\leq2$, a super-$\alpha$-stable motion $X$ in $\mathsf{R}^d$ with branching of index $1+\beta\in(1,2)$ is considered. Fix arbitrary $t>0$. If $d<\alpha/\beta$, a dichotomy for the density function of the measure $X_t$ holds:…
We prove existence and comparison results for multi-valued variational inequalities in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of the form \begin{equation*} u\in K\,:\, 0 \in Au+\partial I_K(u)+\mathcal{F}(u)+\mathcal{F}_\Gamma(u)\quad\text{in…
In this paper, we give some refinements for the second inequality in $\frac{1}{2}\|A\| \leq w(A) \leq \|A\|$, where $A\in B(H)$. In particular, if $A$ is hyponormal by refining the Young inequality with the Kantorovich constant $K(\cdot,…
For $\alpha\in [1,2)$ we consider operators of the form $$L f(x)=\int_{R^d} [f(x+h)-f(x)-1_{(|h|\leq 1)} \nabla f(x)\cdot h] \frac{A(x,h)}{|h|^{d+\alpha}}$$ and for $\alpha\in (0,1)$ we consider the same operator but where the $\nabla f$…
We provide a rather complete description of the sharp regularity theory for a family of heterogeneous, two-phase variational free boundary problems, $\mathcal{J}_\gamma \to $ min, ruled by nonlinear, $p$-degenerate elliptic operators.…

Let L be a second order, uniformly elliptic operator, and consider the equation L u=f under the homogeneous boundary condition u=0. It is well known that f in C(Om) (Om= Omega) does not guarantee second order derivatives D^2 u in C(Om).…
We show that a bilinear estimate for biharmonic functions in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$is equivalent to the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the biharmonic equationin $\Omega$. As a result, we prove that for any given bounded…

We investigate partial regularity for vector valued local minimizers of double phase functionals, under vectorial obstacle type constraints satisfying appropriate topological properties.
The present work constitutes a first step towards establishing a systematic framework for treating variational problems that depend on a given input function through a mixture of its derivatives of different orders in different directions.…
We study gradient estimates of $q$-harmonic functions $u$ of the fractional Schr{\"o}dinger operator $\Delta^{\alpha/2} + q$, $\alpha \in (0,1]$ in bounded domains $D \subset \R^d$. For nonnegative $u$ we show that if $q$ is H{\"o}lder…
