The main goal of this article is to analyze some peculiar features of the global (and local) minima of $\alpha$-Brjuno functions $B_\alpha$ where $\alpha\in(0,1].$ Our starting point is the result by Balazard--Martin (2020), who showed that…
The Brjuno function attains a strict global minimum at the golden section.
For \alpha in the interval [0,1], we consider the one-parameter family of \alpha-continued fraction maps, which include the Gauss map (\alpha=1) and the nearest integer (\alpha=1/2) and by-excess (\alpha=0) continued fraction maps. To each…
In this paper, we investigate the borderline regularity of local minimizers of energy functionals under minimal assumptions on the potential term $\sigma$. When $\sigma$ is merely bounded and measurable, we show that sign-changing…
The Brjuno function arises naturally in the study of one--dimensional analytic small divisors problems. It belongs to $\hbox{BMO}({\Bbb T}^{1})$ and it is stable under H\"older perturbations. It is related to the size of Siegel disks by…
We consider the minimization property of a Gagliardo-Slobodeckij seminorm which can be seen as the fractional counterpart of the classical problem of functions of least gradient and which is related to the minimization of the nonlocal…
The continued fraction expansion of the real number $x=a_0+x_0, a_0\in {\ZZ},$ is given by $0\leq x_n<1, x_{n}^{-1}=a_{n+1}+ x_{n+1}, a_{n+1}\in {\NN},$ for $n\geq 0.$ The Brjuno function is then $B(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x_0x_1...…
We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…
There are many significant applied contexts that require the solution of discontinuous optimization problems in finite dimensions. Yet these problems are very difficult, both computationally and analytically. With the functions being…
We determine the $1$-exponent (according to the Calder\'on-Zygmund definition) of the Brjuno function $B$ everywhere, thus showing that it is a new example of multifractal function. We also discuss various notions of pointwise regularity of…
We describe the average behaviour of the Brjuno function in the neighbourhood of any given point of the unit interval. In particular, we show that its Lebesgue set is the set of Brjuno numbers and we fi nd the asymptotic behaviour of the…
The Brjuno and Wilton functions bear a striking resemblance, despite their very different origins; while the Brjuno function $B(x)$ is a fundamental tool in one-dimensional holomorphic dynamics, the Wilton function $W(x)$ stems from the…
We study energy functionals obtained by adding a possibly discontinuous potential to an interaction term modeled upon a Gagliardo-type fractional seminorm. We prove that minimizers of such non-differentiable functionals are locally bounded,…
In this note we prove that on metric measure spaces, functions of least gradient, as well as local minimizers of the area functional (after modification on a set of measure zero) are continuous everywhere outside their jump sets. As a tool,…
The Brjuno function was introduced by Yoccoz to study the linearizability of holomorphic germs and other one-dimensional small divisor problems. The Brjuno functions associated with various continued fractions including the by-excess…
The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…
We disprove a conjecture of Bombieri regarding univalent functions in the unit disk in some previously unknown cases. The key step in the argument is showing that the global minimum of the real function…
The recent literature has intensively studied two classes of nonlocal variational problems, namely the ones related to the minimisation of energy functionals that act on functions in suitable Sobolev-Gagliardo spaces, and the ones related…
The de Giorgi theory for minimal surfaces consists in studying sets whose indicator function is a (local) minimum of the BV norm. In this paper we replace the BV norm by the $H^\sigma$ norm, with $\sigma<1/2$, and try to understand what the…
Minimization is a reoccurring theme in many mathematical disciplines ranging from pure to applied ones. Of particular importance is the minimization of integral functionals that is studied within the calculus of variations. Proofs of the…
