We study functional stochastic differential equations with a locally unbounded, functional drift focusing on well-posedness, stability and the strong Feller property. Following the non-functional case, we only consider integrability…
We establish that locally bounded relaxed minimizers of degenerate elliptic symmetric gradient functionals on $\mathrm{BD}(\Omega)$ have weak gradients in $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$. This is achieved for…
We introduce the generalized notion of semicontinuity of a function defined on a topological space and derive the useful classification of the so-called Lipschitz derivatives of functions defined on a metric space. Secondly, we investigate…
We provide a sufficient condition for lower semicontinuity of nonautonomous noncoercive surface energies defined on the space of $GSBD^p$ functions, whose dependence on the $x$-variable is $W^{1,1}$ or even $BV$: the notion of nonautonomous…
The main result of this paper is a proof of the continuity of a family of integral functionals defined on the space of functions of bounded variation with respect to a topology under which smooth functions are dense. These functionals occur…
Our purpose is to find positive solutions $u \in D^{1,2}(\rz^N)$ of the semilinear elliptic problem $-\laplace u = h(x) u^{p-1}$ for $2<p$. The function $h$ may have an indefinite sign. Key ingredients are a $h$-dependent…
We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection…
In this paper we analyse functions in Besov spaces $B^{1/q}_{q,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R}^d),q\in (1,\infty)$, and functions in fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{r,q}(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R}^d),r\in (0,1),q\in [1,\infty)$. We prove for…
A Sobolev type embedding for radially symmetric functions on the unit ball $B$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, into the variable exponent Lebesgue space $L_{2^\star + |x|^\alpha} (B)$, $2^\star = 2n/(n-2)$, $\alpha>0$, is known due to J.M. do…
We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…
The present paper is devoted to analysis of the lack of compactness of bounded sequences in \emph{inhomogeneous} Sobolev spaces, where bounded sequences might fail to be compact due to an isometric group action, that is, \emph{translation}.…
We study the manner in which spectral shift functions associated with self-adjoint one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators on the finite interval $(0,R)$ converge in the infinite volume limit $R\to\infty$ to the half-line spectral shift…
In functional analysis, there are different notions of limit for a bounded sequence of $L^1$ functions. Besides the pointwise limit, that does not always exist, the behaviour of a bounded sequence of $L^1$ functions can be described in…
We show weak* in measures on $\bar\O$/ weak-$L^1$ sequential continuity of $u\mapsto f(x,\nabla u):W^{1,p}(\O;\R^m)\to L^1(\O)$, where $f(x,\cdot)$ is a null Lagrangian for $x\in\O$, it is a null Lagrangian at the boundary for…
In this paper we study nonnegative minimizers of general degenerate elliptic functionals, $\int F(X,u,Du) dX \to \min$, for variational kernels $F$ that are discontinuous in $u$ with discontinuity of order $\sim \chi_{\{u > 0 \}}$. The…
We prove that convex functions of finite order on the real line and subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some set of zero relative Lebesgue density, are bounded from above…
