We consider impulsive semiflows defined on compact metric spaces and deduce a variational principle. In particular, we generalize the classical notion of topological entropy to our setting of discontinuous semiflows.

We propose the notions of uniform local weak o-minimality and $*$-local weak o-minimality. Local monotonicity theorems hold in definably complete locally o-minimal structures and uniformly locally o-minimal structures of the second kind. In…

We give extensions of results on nonnegative matrix semigroups which deduce finiteness or boundedness of such semigroups from the corresponding local properties, e.g., from finiteness or boundedness of values of certain linear functionals…

We use the framework of a type of abstract convexity ($\Phi_{lsc}$-convexity) to investigate properties of lower semicontinuous quadratically minorized functions in Hilbert spaces. A new result, which states that, for every local…

A class of causal variational principles on a compact manifold is introduced and analyzed both numerically and analytically. It is proved under general assumptions that the support of a minimizing measure is either completely timelike, or…

In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $\left(\varphi_1, \varphi_2\right)-$convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g…

We present an elementary treatment of the Optional Decomposition Theorem for continuous semimartingales and general filtrations. This treatment does not assume the existence of equivalent local martingale measure(s), only that of strictly…

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…

The objective of this paper is to prove a functional weak invariance principle for a local time of a process of the form $X_{n}=\varphi\circ T^{n}$ where $\left(X,\mathcal{B},T,m\right)$ is a measure preserving system with a transfer…

In this paper we study the regularity and the boundedness of the minima of two classes of functionals of the calculus of variations

The paper is devoted to the study, characterizations, and applications of variational convexity of functions, the property that has been recently introduced by Rockafellar together with its strong counterpart. First we show that these…

We study local-global principles for torsors under reductive linear algebraic groups over semi-global fields; i.e., over one variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields. We provide conditions on the group and the…

We isolate a general condition, that we call "localization principle", on the integrand L:\MM\to[0,\infty], assumed to be continuous, under which W^{1,q}-quasiconvexity with q\in[1,\infty] is a sufficient condition for I(u)=\int_\Omega…

The center of interest in this work are variational problems with integral functionals depending on special nonlocal gradients. The latter correspond to truncated versions of the Riesz fractional gradient, as introduced in [Bellido, Cueto &…

We prove a version of the reduction principle for functionals of vector long-range dependent random fields. The components of the fields may have different long-range dependent behaviours. The results are illustrated by an application to…

We introduce the notion of weak minimizer in set optimization. Necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of scalarized variational inequalities of Stampacchia and Minty type, respectively, are proved. As an application, we obtain…

We prove the existence of minimizers of causal variational principles on second countable, locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Moreover, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are derived. The method is to first prove the existence of…

I consider general reflection coefficients for arbitrary one-dimensional whole line differential or difference operators of order $2$. These reflection coefficients are semicontinuous functions of the operator: their absolute value can only…

In this paper we obtain some existence result of solution for general variational inequalities. As applications several coincidence and fixed point results are provided.

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…
