We consider a strengthening of the usual quasiconvexity condition of Morrey in two dimensions, which allows us to prove lower semicontinuity for functionals which are unbounded as the determinant vanishes. This notion, that we call…

Optimal Dirichlet boundary control for a fractional/normal evolution with a final observation is considered. The unique existence of the solution and the first-order optimality condition of the optimal control problem are derived. The…

We analyze a linear parabolic equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions posed in domains whose evolution may involve topological transitions. The domains are described as sublevel sets of a smooth space-time level set…
We introduce a sufficient condition for a finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ to admit finite-sided Dirichlet domains for polyhedral Finsler metrics on the symmetric space $G/K$. The condition always implies…
We consider the Schr\"{o}dinger equation $(i\partial_t+\Delta)u=0$ on an $n$-dimensional simplex with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use a commutator argument along with integration by parts to obtain an observability asymptotic for any…

In this paper, we establish the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping and of the approximate solution mapping for parametric fixed point problems under some suitable conditions. As applications, the lower semicontinuity result…
We regard anisotropic Maxwell's equations as a boundary control and observation system on a bounded Lipschitz domain. The boundary is split into two parts: one part with perfect conductor boundary conditions and the other where the control…
Total variation (TV) minimization is one of the most important techniques in modern signal/image processing, and has wide range of applications. While there are numerous recent works on the restoration guarantee of the TV minimization in…
Here we show a hidden regularity result for nonlinear wave equations with an integral term of convolution type and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under general assumptions on the nonlinear term and on the integral kernel we are able to…

We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…
