We construct a branched Helfrich immersion satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The number of branch points is finite. We proceed by a variational argument and hence examine the Helfrich energy for oriented varifolds. The main…
Regularity results for minimal configurations of variational problems involving both bulk and surface energies and subject to a volume constraint are established. The bulk energies are convex functions with p-power growth, but are otherwise…

Mean field optimal control problems are a class of optimization problems that arise from optimal control when applied to the many body setting. In the noisy case one has a set of controllable stochastic processes and a cost function that is…
We establish that regular flat partitions are locally minimizing for the interface energy with respect to $L^1$ perturbations of the phases. Regular flat partitions are partitions of open sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose network of interfaces…
