We prove density of smooth functions in subspaces of Sobolev- and higher order $BV$-spaces of kind $W^{m,p}(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$ and $BV^m(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$, respectively, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$)…

Lemma 1 from the paper [N.E. Gretsky, J.M. Ostroy, W.R. Zame, Subdifferentiability and the duality gap, Positivity 6: 261--274, 2002] asserts that the value function $v$ of an infinite dimensional linear programming problem in standard form…

Affine isoperimetric inequalities for the functional radial mean bodies are derived from the new affine chord Sobolev inequalities, which extend the recent affine isoperimetric inequalities of Haddad and Ludwig from convex bodies to…

In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…

We characterize the continuity of prototypical functionals acting on finite Caccioppoli partitions. In the spirit of the classical Reshetnyak continuity theorem for measures that can be used to prove continuity of surface-type functionals…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

In this paper we study the regularity of the local minima of integral functionals: in particular, not convexity (quasi-convexity, policonvexity or rank one convexity) hypothesis will be made on the density, neither structure hypothesis nor…

In this paper, we study the properties of integral functionals induced on $L^1_E (S,\mu)$ by closed convex functions on a Euclidean space $E$. We give sufficient conditions for such integral functions to be strongly rotund (well-posed). We…

This work provides formulae for the $\epsilon$-subdifferential of integral functions in the framework of complete $\sigma$-finite measure spaces and locally convex spaces. In this work we present here new formulae for this…

In functional analysis it is well known that every linear functional defined on the dual of a locally convex vector space which is continuous for the weak topology is the evaluation at a uniquely determined point of the given vector space.…

We apply upper and lower compensated convex transforms, which are `tight' one-sided approximations of a given function, to the extraction of fine geometric singularities from semiconvex/semiconcave functions and DC-functions in…

This paper has two goals: to present some new results that are necessary for further study and applications of quasi-linear functionals, and, by combining known and new results, to serve as a convenient single source for anyone interested…

In this paper we prove generic results concerning Hardy spaces in one or several complex variables. More precisely, we show that the generic function in certain Hardy type spaces is totally unbounded and hence non-extentable, despite the…

Consider a functional associating to a pair of compactly supported smooth functions on a symplectic manifold the maximum of their Poisson bracket. We show that this functional is lower semi-continuous with respect to the product uniform…

To every log-concave function $f$ one may associate a pair of measures $(\mu_{f},\nu_{f})$ which are the surface area measures of $f$. These are a functional extension of the classical surface area measure of a convex body, and measure how…

We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…

Based on recent developments in the theory of fractional Sobolev spaces, an interesting new class of nonlocal variational problems has emerged in the literature. These problems, which are the focus of this work, involve integral functionals…

Let $\varphi$ be a locally upper bounded Borel measurable function on a Greenian open set $\Omega$ in $R^d$ and, for every $x\in \Omega$, let $v_\varphi(x)$ denote the infimum of the integrals of $\varphi$ with respect to Jensen measures…

For an integral functional defined on functions $(u,v)\in W^{1,1}\times L^1$ featuring a prototypical strong interaction term between $u$ and $v$, we calculate its relaxation in the space of functions with bounded variations and Radon…

We prove a lower semicontinuity result for a functional of linear growth initially defined by \[ \int_{\Omega}F\left(\frac{dDu}{d\mu}\right)\,d\mu \] for $u\in BV(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^N)$ with $Du\ll \mu$. The positive Radon measure $\mu$ is…
