We study estimation of multivariate densities $p$ of the form $p(x)=h(g(x))$ for $x\in \mathbb {R}^d$ and for a fixed monotone function $h$ and an unknown convex function $g$. The canonical example is $h(y)=e^{-y}$ for $y\in \mathbb {R}$;…
We establish the local $C^{1, \alpha}$ regularity of minimizers for functionals of the form $$w\to \int_{\Omega}(|\nabla w|^p-fw) dx + \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|w(x)-w(y)|^q}{|x-y|^{n+sq}}dx\, dy,$$ where $s \in (0, 1)$,…
Solving the Euler equation which corresponds to the energy minimum of a density functional expressed in orbital-free form involves related but distinct computational challenges. One is the choice between all-electron and pseudo-potential…
In this paper, we consider minimizers of integral functionals of the type \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u):= \int_\Omega \dfrac{1}{p} \bigl( |Du(x)|_{\gamma(x)}-1\bigr)_+^p \ \mathrm{d}x, \end{equation*} for $p >1$, where $u : \Omega…
Inspired by Lin-Pan-Wang (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 65(6): 833-888, 2012), we continue to study the corresponding time-independent case of the Keller-Rubinstein-Sternberg problem. To be precise, we explore the asymptotic behavior of…
In this work we study a class of nonlocal quadratic forms given by \[ \mathcal{E}_j(u,v)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}(u(x)-u(y))(v(x)-v(y))j(x-y)\ dxdy, \] where $j:\mathbb{R}^N\to[0,\infty]$ is a measurable even…
We study the one-dimensional symmetry of solutions to the nonlinear Stokes equation $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u+\nabla W(u)=\nabla p&\text{in }\mathbb{R}^d,\\ \nabla\cdot u=0&\text{in }\mathbb{R}^d, \end{cases} $$ which are periodic in the…
In this paper, we study estimation of certain integral functionals of one or two densities with samples from stationary m-dependent sequences. We consider two types of U-statistic estimators for these functionals that are functions of the…
We prove higher integrability for local minimizers of the double-phase orthotropic functional \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n}\int_\Omega\left(\left|u_{x_i}\right|^p+a(x)\left| u_{x_i}\right|^q\right)dx \] when the weight function $a \geq0$ is assumed to…
We prove that any function in $GSBD^p(\Omega)$, with $\Omega$ a $n$-dimensional open bounded set with finite perimeter, is approximated by functions $u_k\in SBV(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)\cap L^\infty(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ whose jump is a finite…
In orbital-free density functional theory the kinetic potential (KP), the functional derivative of the kinetic energy density functional, appears in the Euler equation for the electron density and may be more amenable to simple…
We study the structure of the constrained minimizers of the Gates-Lebowitz-Penrose free-energy functional ${\mathcal F}_{\rm GLP}(m)$, non-local functional of a density field $m(x)$, $x\in {\mathcal T}_L$, a $d$-dimensional torus of side…
We study a nonlocal perimeter functional inspired by the Minkowski content, whose main feature is that it interpolates between the classical perimeter and the volume functional. This problem is related by a generalized coarea formula to a…
In this paper, we consider the following minimizing problem with two constraints: \[ \inf \left\{ E(u) | u=(u_1,u_2), \ \| u_1 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_1, \ \| u_2 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_2 \right\}, \] where $\alpha_1,\alpha_2 > 0$ and $E(u)$ is…
Nonparametric density estimators are studied for $d$-dimensional, strongly spatial mixing data which is defined on a general $N$-dimensional lattice structure. We consider linear and nonlinear hard thresholded wavelet estimators which are…

We obtain a refinement of the degrees of freedom estimate of Landau and Pollak. More precisely, we estimate, in terms of $\epsilon$, the increase in the degrees of freedom resulting upon allowing the functions to contain a certain…
We propose a density functional to find the ground state energy and density of interacting particles, where both the density and the pair density can adjust in the presence of an inhomogeneous potential. As a proof of principle we formulate…
