We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

We prove uniqueness for minimizers of the weighted least gradient problem \[\inf \left\lbrace \int_{\Omega} a|Du|: \ \ u\in BV(\Omega), \ \ u|_{\partial \Omega}=f \right\rbrace.\] The weight function $a$ is assumed to be continuous and it…

We prove that there is a unique $p_0\in [0,1)$, which can be characterized by the eigenvalue of Hilbert operator related to a convex body, that the even $L^p$ Minkowski problem has a unique solution for $p\geq p_0$, and the uniqueness fails…

Let $n\geq 1$, and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open and connected set with finite Lebesgue measure. Among functions of bounded variation in $\Omega$ we introduce the class of \emph{minimally singular} functions. Inspired by the…

Fix a compact $M \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and $r>0$. A minimizer of the maximal distance functional is a connected set $\Sigma$ of the minimal length, such that \[ max_{y \in M} dist(y,\Sigma) \leq r. \] The problem of finding maximal distance…

Let the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ be endowed with a Minkowski structure $M$ (that is $M\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to [0,+\infty)$ is the gauge function of a compact convex set having the origin as an interior point, and with boundary of class $C^2$),…

We discuss the minimization of a Kohler-Jobin type scale-invariant functional among open, convex, bounded sets, namely $\min T_2(\Omega) ^{\frac{1}{N+2}}h_1(\Omega)$ among open convex bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, where…

In this paper, we prove the existence of minimizers of a class of multi-constrained variational problems. We consider systems involving a nonlinearity that does not satisfy compactness, monotonicity, neither symmetry properties. Our…

In this manuscript we study the following optimization problem with volume constraint: \[ \min\left\{\frac{1}{p}\int_{\Omega} |\nabla v|^pdx- \int_{\partial \Omega} gv\,dS \colon v \in W^{1, p} \left(\Omega\right), \text{ and } |\{v>0\}|…

In this paper, we prove an extended version of the Minkowski Inequality, holding for any smooth bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$. Our proof relies on the discovery of effective monotonicity formulas holding along the…
