We obtain density estimates for the free boundaries of minimizers $u \ge 0$ of the Alt-Phillips functional involving negative power potentials $$\int_\Omega \left(|\nabla u|^2 + u^{-\gamma} \chi_{\{u>0\}}\right) \, dx, \quad \quad \gamma…

Let $\Omega$ be an open subset of a Stein manifold $\Sigma$ and let $M$ be its boundary. It is well known that $M$ inherits a natural contact structure. In this paper we consider a family of variational functionals $F_\varepsilon$ defined…

This paper is devoted to the construction of generalized multi-scale Young measures, which are the extension of Pedregal's multi-scale Young measures [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358 (2006), pp. 591-602] to the setting of generalized Young…

Some limit theorems of the type $\int_{\Omega}f_n dm_n -- --> \int_{\Omega}f dm$ are presented for scalar, (vector), (multi)-valued sequences of m_n-integrable functions f_n. The convergences obtained, in the vector and multivalued…

We propose a homogenized supremal functional rigorously derived via $L^p$-approximation by functionals of the type $\underset{x\in\Omega}{\mbox{ess-sup}}\hspace{0.03cm} f\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}, Du\right)$, when $\Omega$ is a bounded…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^N$. Given a continuous plurisubharmonic function $u$ on $\Omega$, we construct a sequence of Gaussian analytic functions $f_n$ on $\Omega$ associated with $u$ such that…

The $\Gamma$-limit for a sequence of length functionals associated with a one parameter family of Riemannian manifolds is computed analytically. The Riemannian manifold is of `two-phase' type, that is, the metric coefficient takes values in…

We perform the homogenization of the semilinear elliptic problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u^\varepsilon \geq 0 & \mbox{in} \; \Omega^\varepsilon,\\ \displaystyle - div \,A(x) D u^\varepsilon = F(x,u^\varepsilon) & \mbox{in} \;…

We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_\Omega(u) := \int_\Omega B(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this…

We describe the asymptotic behaviour of the minimal heterogeneous $d$-capacity of a small set, which we assume to be a ball for simplicity, in a fixed bounded open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, with $d\geq2$. Two parameters are…

We get a new multiplicity result for gradient systems. Here is a very particular corollary: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) be a smooth bounded domain and let $\Phi:{\bf R}^2\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ function, with $\Phi(0,0)=0$,…

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in $L^p$ on a thin domain, under standard $p$-growth and coercivity assumptions, $1<p<\infty$. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the…
