The nonlinear semigroup generated by the subdifferential of a convex lower semicontinuous function $\varphi$ has a smoothing effect, discovered by H. Br\'ezis, which implies maximal regularity for the evolution equation. We use this and…
In this survey article we revisit Hilbert's $19^{\text{th}}$ problem concerning the regularity of minimizers of variational integrals. We first discuss the classical theory (that is, the statement and resolution of Hilbert's problem in all…
We study partial regularity for degenerate elliptic systems of double-phase type, where the growth function is given by $H(x,t)=t^p+a(x)t^q$ with $1<p\leq q$ and $a(x)$ a nonnegative $C^{0,\alpha}$-continuous function. Our main result…
We study the minimizer u of a convex functional in the plane which is not G\^ateaux-differentiable. Namely, we show that the set of critical points of any C^1-smooth minimizer can not have isolated points. Also, by means of some appropriate…
