We consider the minimization of an energy functional given by the sum of a crystalline perimeter and a nonlocal interaction of Riesz type, under volume constraint. We show that, in the small mass regime, if the Wulff shape of the…
We study the minimizer of the electrostatic Born--Infeld energy \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}1-\sqrt{1-|D v|^2}\ dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\rho v\ dx, \end{equation*} which vanishes at infinity. We show that the minimizer $u$ is…
We consider solutions $u^\varepsilon$ of Poisson problems with the Dirichlet condition on domains $\Omega_\varepsilon$ with holes concentrated at subsets of a domain $\Omega$ non-periodically. We show $u^\varepsilon$ converges to a solution…
In materials that undergo martensitic phase transformation, macroscopic loading often leads to the creation and/or rearrangement of elastic domains. This paper considers an example {involving} a single-crystal slab made from two martensite…
We study the vacuum polarization (Casimir) energy in renormalizable, continuum quantum field theory in the presence of a background field, designed to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions on the fluctuating quantum field. In two and three…
We take an open regular domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 3$. We introduce a pair of positive parameters $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$ and we set $\epsilon\equiv(\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2)$. Then we define the perforated domain…

It is shown that the supports of measures minimizing weakly repulsive energies on Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounded below do not have concentration points. This extends the results of Bj\"orck and Carrillo, Figalli, and…
On Bakhvalov-type mesh, uniform convergence analysis of finite element method for a 2-D singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with exponential layers is still an open problem. Previous attempts have been unsuccessful. The…
In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for a scalar elliptic equation in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ with a singular drift of the form $b_0= b-\alpha \frac {x'}{|x'|^2}$ where $x'=(x_1,x_2,0)$, $\alpha \in…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a Lipschitz domain, and consider a harmonic map $v: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{S}^2$ with boundary data $v|\partial\Omega = \varphi$ which minimises the Dirichlet energy. For $p\geq 2$, we show that any…
Consider the mixed problem with Dirichelet condition associated to the wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Div_{x}(a(t,x)\nabla_{x}u)=0$, where the scalar metric $a(t,x)$ is $T$-periodic in $t$ and uniformly equal to 1 outside a compact set in…
In this note two results are established for energy functionals that are given by the integral of $ W(\mathbf x,\nabla \mathbf u(\mathbf x))$ over $\Omega \subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\nabla \mathbf u \in BMO(\Omega;{\mathbb R}^{N\times n})$,…
For $\Omega$ a perturbation of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we establish the existence of a sequence of local minimizers for the vector Allen-Cahn energy. The sequence converges in $L^1$ to a partition of $\Omega$ whose skeleton is…
This work deals with the homogenization of an initial- and boundary-value problem for the doubly-nonlinear system $$ D_t w -\nabla\cdot \vec z = \nabla\cdot \vec h(x,t,x/\varepsilon), \qquad w\in \alpha(u,x/\varepsilon), \qquad \vec z\in…
We study the existence of energy minimizers for a Bose-Einstein condensate with dipole-dipole interactions, tightly confined to a plane. The problem is critical in that the kinetic energy and the (partially attractive) interaction energy…
We are concerned with the following constrained minimization problem: $$e(a_{1},a_{2},\beta) := \inf\left\{E_{a_{1},a_{2},\beta}(u_{1},u_{2}): \|u_{1}\|_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})} = \|u_{2}\|_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})} = 1\right\},$$ where…
In this work, we consider a mixed local and nonlocal Dirichlet problem with supercritical nonlinearity. We first establish a multiplicity result for the problem \begin{equation} Lu=|u|^{p-2}u+\mu|u|^{q-2}u~~\text{in}~~\Omega,~~~~~…
We consider the Gross-Petaevskii equation in 1 space dimension with a $n$-well trapping potential. We prove, in the semiclassical limit, that the finite dimensional eigenspace associated to the lowest n eigenvalues of the linear operator is…
The present note contains a review of $p$-energies and Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces that carry a strongly local regular Dirichlet form. These Sobolev spaces are then used to generalize some basic results from the calculus of…
