Recently, the degenerate gamma functions are introduced as a degenerate version of the usual gamma function by Kim-Kim. In this paper, we investigate several properties of them. Namely, we obtain an analytic continuation as a meromorphic…

We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.

In this paper we studythe asymptotics of singularly perturbed phase-transition functionals of the form \[ F_k(u)=\frac{1}{\epsilon_k}\int_A f_k(x,u,\epsilon_k\nabla u)\,dx\,, \] where $u \in [0,1]$ is a phase-field variable, $\epsilon_k>0$…

We provide a general result concerning the homogenization of nonconvex viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the stationary, ergodic setting. In particular, we show that homogenization occurs for a non-empty set of points within every level…

We consider the vector functions in a domain homeomorphic to a spherical layer bounded by twice continuously differentiable surfaces. Additional restrictions are imposed on the domain, which allow to conduct proofs using simple methods. On…

We consider periodic homogenization of hyperelastic models incorporating incompressible behavior via the constraint $\det(\nabla u)=1$. We show that the 'usual' homogenized integral functional $\int W_{\rm hom}(\nabla u)\,dx$, where $W_{\rm…

We provide a general treatment of perturbations of a class of functionals modeled on convolution energies with integrable kernel which approximate the $p$-th norm of the gradient as the kernel is scaled by letting a small parameter…

We present stochastic homogenization results for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations using a new argument which is based only on the subadditive structure of maximal subsolutions (solutions of the "metric problem"). This permits us to give…

In the paper we develop a general theory of solvability of linear inhomogeneous boundary-value problems for systems of first-order ordinary differential equations in spaces of smooth functions on a finite interval. This problems are set…

We use variational convergence to derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional rod theories, starting out from three-dimensional models in nonlinear elasticity subject to local volume-preservation. The densities of the resulting $\Gamma$-limits…

We prove a result that relates the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact nonorientable surface to a finite group $G$, where conjugacy classes of the boundary components of the surface must map to prescribed…

We study the BMO-type functional $\kappa_{\varepsilon}(f,\mathbb R^n)$, which can be used to characterize BV functions $f\in BV(\mathbb R^n)$. The $\Gamma$-limit of this functional, taken with respect to $L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}$-convergence, is…

The functional equation $\varphi(Fx) - \varphi(x) = \gamma(x)$ is considered in topological, measurable and related categories from the point of view of functional analysis and general theory of dynamical systems. The material is presented…

We introduce a new geometric-analytic functional that we analyse in the context of free discontinuity problems. Its main feature is that the geometric term (the length of the jump set) appears with negative sign. This is motivated by…
