We study classes of weights ensuring the absence and presence of the Lavrentiev's phenomenon for double phase functionals upon every choice of exponents. We introduce a new sharp scale for weights for which there is no Lavrentiev's…

We establish the absence of the Lavrentiev gap between Sobolev and smooth maps for a non-autonomous variational problem of a general structure, where the integrand is assumed to be controlled by a function which is convex and anisotropic…

For a class of functionals having the $(p,q)$-growth, we establish an improved range of exponents $p$, $q$ for which the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not occur. The proof is based on a standard mollification argument and Young convolution…

In this article we study convex non-autonomous variational problems with differential forms and corresponding function spaces. We introduce a general framework for constructing counterexamples to the Lavrentiev gap, which we apply to…

This pre-print has now been superseded by arXiv:2305.19934 and will not be published. We prove that for convex vectorial functionals with (p,q)-growth the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not occur up to the boundary when (p,q) are suitably…

In the present paper we find optimal conditions separating the regular case from the one with Lavrentiev gap for the borderline case of double phase potencial and related general classes of integrands. We present new results on density of…

We show that non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not imply that the singular set is small. Precisely, given a compact Lebesgue null subset of the line $E$ and an arbitrary superlinearity, there exists a smooth, strictly convex…

We study both divergence and non-divergence form parabolic and elliptic equations in the half space $\{x_d>0\}$ whose coefficients are the product of $x_d^\alpha$ and uniformly nondegenerate bounded measurable matrix-valued functions, where…

Let $F(y):=\displaystyle\int_t^TL(s, y(s), y'(s))\,ds$ be a positive functional, unnecessarily autonomous, defined on the space $ W^{1,p}([t,T]; \mathbb R^n)$ ($p\ge 1$) of Sobolev functions, possibly with prescribed one or two end point…

We establish that the Lavrentiev gap between Sobolev and Lipschitz maps does not occur for a scalar variational problem of the form: \[ \textrm{to minimize} \qquad u \mapsto \int_\Omega f(x,u,\nabla u)\,dx \,, \] under a Dirichlet boundary…

We prove the well-posedness and regularity of solutions in mixed-norm weighted Sobolev spaces for a class of second-order parabolic and elliptic systems in divergence form in the half-space $\mathbb{R}^d_+ = \{x_d > 0\}$ subject to the…

We exhibit a Lavrentiev gap phenomenon for the neo-Hookean energy in three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. More precisely, we construct boundary data for which the infimum of the neo-Hookean energy over deformations satisfying a natural…

As an application of the theory of linear parabolic differential equations on noncompact Riemannian manifolds, developed in earlier papers, we prove a maximal regularity theorem for nonuniformly parabolic boundary value problems in…

We prove locally in time the existence of a smooth solution for multidimensional two-phase Stefan problem for degenerate parabolic equations of the porous medium type. We establish also natural H\"{o}lder class for the boundary conditions…

We show that the smoother the weight, the broader the range of exponents for which the Lavrentiev's gap is absent for the double phase functionals, i.e., $u \mapsto \int_{\Omega} \left(|\nabla u|^p + a(x)|\nabla u|^q\right)\,dx\,, \quad 1…

Let $F(y):=\displaystyle\int_t^TL(s, y(s), y'(s))\,ds$ be a positive functional (the "energy"), unnecessarily autonomous, defined on the space of Sobolev functions $W^{1,p}([t,T]; \mathbb R^n)$ ($p\ge 1$). We consider the problem of…

We establish the existence of solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic second-order equations like $\partial_{t}u+H(v,Dv,D^{2}v,t,x)=0$ in smooth cylinders without requiring $H$ to be convex or concave with respect to the second-order…
