We study the regularity of quasi-minimal sets (in the sense of David and Semmes) with a boundary condition, which can be interpreted as quasi-minimizers of Plateau's problem in co-dimension one. For these Plateau-quasi-minimizers, we…

A production function $f$ is called quasi-sum if there are strict monotone functions $F, h_1,...,h_n$ with $F'>0$ such that $$f(x)= F(h_1 (x_1)+...+h_n (x_n)).$$ The justification for studying quasi-sum production functions is that these…

We prove that uniformly disconnected subsets of metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (complete, Ahlfors regular, supporting a Poincare inequality, and a mild topological condition) are contained in a quasisymmetric arc. This…

In this short note we prove that a Kahler manifold with lower Ricci curvature bound and almost maximal volume is Gromov-Hausdorff close to the projective space with the Fubini-Study metric. This is done by combining the recent results of…

We investigate critical exponents relating to weak capacity in Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces. This allows a proof of a weak capacity version of a result by Bonk and Kleiner about the uniformization of metric $2$-spheres. Using our…

We study a class of Landau-de Gennes energy functionals with a sextic bulk energy density in a three-dimensional domain. We examine the asymptotic behavior of uniformly bounded minimizers in two distinct scenarios: one where their energy…

We prove minimax theorems for lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space. The main tool is the theory of $\Phi$-convex functions and sufficient and necessary conditions for the minimax equality to hold for $\Phi$-convex…

We consider a functional related with phase transition models in the Heisenberg group framework. We prove that level sets of local minimizers satisfy some density estimates, that is, they behave as "codimension one" sets. We thus deduce a…

We present a class of models of elastic phase transitions with incompatible energy wells in any space dimension, where an abundance of Lipschitz global minimizers in a hard device coexists with a complete lack of strong local minimizers.…

We consider the elasticity problem in a %heterogeneous domain with contact on multiple periodic open cracks. The contact is described by the Signorini and Coulomb-friction conditions. Problem is non-linear, the dissipative functional…

We consider the linear elliptic systems or equations in divergence form with periodically oscillating coefficients. We prove the large-scale boundary Lipschitz estimate for the weak solutions in domains satisfying the so-called…

We give a precise mathematical formulation of a variational model for the irreversible quasi-static evolution of brittle fractures proposed by G.A. Francfort and J.-J. Marigo, and based on Griffith's theory of crack growth. In the…

This work comprises a detailed theoretical and computational study of the boundary value problem for transversely isotropic linear elastic bodies. General conditions for well-posedness are derived in terms of the material parameters. The…

Using a calibration method we prove that, if $\Gamma\subset \Omega$ is a closed regular hypersurface and if the function $g$ is discontinuous along $\Gamma$ and regular outside, then the function $u_{\beta}$ which solves $$ \begin{cases}…

Upper semicontinuous (usc) functions arise in the analysis of maximization problems, distributionally robust optimization, and function identification, which includes many problems of nonparametric statistics. We establish that every usc…

This paper has two goals: to present some new results that are necessary for further study and applications of quasi-linear functionals, and, by combining known and new results, to serve as a convenient single source for anyone interested…

We show that the order three algebraic differential equation over ${\mathbb Q}$ satisfied by the analytic $j$-function defines a non-$\aleph_0$-categorical strongly minimal set with trivial forking geometry relative to the theory of…

Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the…

For a fixed topological Markov shift, we consider measure-preserving dynamical systems of Gibbs measures for 2-locally constant functions on the shift. We also consider isomorphisms between two such systems. We study the set of all…

We prove that the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension is upper semicontinuous with respect to Gromov-Hausdorff convergence when restricted to the class of uniformly perfect, uniformly quasi-selfsimilar metric spaces. Moreover we show the…
