The nonlinear semigroup generated by the subdifferential of a convex lower semicontinuous function $\varphi$ has a smoothing effect, discovered by H. Br\'ezis, which implies maximal regularity for the evolution equation. We use this and…

We study minimizers of non-autonomous functionals \begin{align*} \inf_u \int_\Omega \varphi(x,|\nabla u|) \, dx \end{align*} when $\varphi$ has generalized Orlicz growth. We consider the case where the upper growth rate of $\varphi$ is…
We establish that the Dirichlet problem for convex linear growth functionals on $BD$, the functions of bounded deformation, gives rise to the same unconditional Sobolev and partial $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity theory as presently available for…
This paper is concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions in an Orlicz-Sobolev space for a nonlocal problem with critical growth, involving N-functions and theory of locally Lispchitz continuous functionals.
We establish partial regularity results for minimizers of a class of functionals depending on differential expressions based on elliptic operators. Specifically, we focus on functionals of Orlicz growth with a natural strong quasiconvexity…
We provide a general approach to Lipschitz regularity of solutions for a large class of vector-valued, nonautonomous variational problems exhibiting nonuniform ellipticity. The functionals considered here range amongst those with unbalanced…
We establish local regularity theory for parabolic systems of Uhlenbeck type with $\varphi$-growth. In particular, we prove local boundedness of weak solutions and their gradient, and then local H\"older continuity of the gradients,…
We consider the homogenization of random integral functionals which are possibly unbounded, that is, the domain of the integrand is not the whole space and may depend on the space-variable. In the vectorial case, we develop a complete…
Let $n\ge2$ and $\phi : [0,\fz) \to [0,\infty)$ be a Young's function satisfying $\sup_{x>0} \int_0^1\frac{\phi( t x)}{ \phi(x)}\frac{dt}{t^{n+1} }<\infty. $ We show that Ahlfors $n$-regular domains are Besov-Orlicz ${\dot {\bf B}}^{\phi}$…

We study the regularity of local minimisers of a prototypical free-discontinuity problem involving both a manifold-valued constraint on the maps (which are defined on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^2$) and a variable-exponent growth in…
We establish a partial regularity result for solutions of parabolic systems with general $\varphi$-growth, where $\varphi$ is an Orlicz function. In this setting we can develop a unified approach that is independent of the degeneracy of…
We establish local $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity for some $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and $C^{\alpha}$-regularity for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$ of local minimizers of the functional \[ v\ \mapsto\ \int_\Omega \phi(x,|Dv|)\,dx, \] where $\phi$ satisfies a…
A way to measure the lower growth rate of $\varphi:\Omega\times [0,\infty) \to [0,\infty)$ is to require $t \mapsto \varphi(x,t)t^{-r}$ to be increasing in $(0,\infty)$. If this condition holds with $r=1$, then \[ \inf_{u\in f+W^{1,…
We study robust regularity estimates for local minimizers of nonlocal functionals with non-standard growth of $(p,q)$-type and for weak solutions to a related class of nonlocal equations. The main results of this paper are local boundedness…
