Let $a>0,b>0$ and $V(x)\geq0$ be a coercive function in $\mathbb R^2$. We study the following constrained minimization problem on a suitable weighted Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}$: \begin{equation*}…

We consider two related problems: the first is the minimization of the "Coulomb renormalized energy" of Sandier-Serfaty, which corresponds to the total Coulomb interaction of point charges in a uniform neutralizing background (or rather…

We consider the problem of minimizing variational integrals defined on \cc{nonlinear} Sobolev spaces of competitors taking values into the sphere. The main novelty is that the underlying energy features a non-uniformly elliptic integrand…

Let $\mathcal{D} =\Omega \setminus\bar{\omega} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a smooth annular type domain. We consider the simplified Ginzburg-Landau energy $E_\epsilon(u)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{D}} |\nabla u|^2…

This paper is concerned with the numerical minimization of energy functionals in Hilbert spaces involving convex constraints coinciding with a semi-norm for a subspace. The optimization is realized by alternating minimizations of the…

We study static 180 degree domain walls in infinite magnetic wires with bounded, $C^1$ and rotationally symmetric cross sections. We prove an existence of global minimizers for the energy of micromagnetics for any bounded $C^1$ cross…

We investigate the existence of solutions to viscous ergodic Mean Field Games systems in bounded domains with Neumann boundary conditions and local, possibly aggregative couplings. In particular we exploit the associated variational…

We generalize the notion of calibrated submanifolds to smooth maps and show that the several examples of smooth maps appearing in the differential geometry become the examples of our situation. Moreover, we apply these notion to give the…

We study compactness and boundedness of embeddings from Sobolev type spaces on metric spaces into $L^q$ spaces with respect to another measure. The considered Sobolev spaces can be of fractional order and some statements allow also…

The present paper introduces the concept of monotone Hopf-harmonics in $2D$ as an alternative to harmonic homeomorphisms. It opens a new area of study in Geometric Function Theory (GFT). Much of the foregoing is motivated by the principle…

We give an operator space characterization of subalgebras of $C(\Omega,M_n)$. We also describe injective subspaces of $C(\Omega,M_n)$ and then give applications to sub-TROs of $C(\Omega,M_n)$. Finally, we prove an `$n$-minimal version' of…

We consider the mass-subcritical NLS in dimensions $d\geq 3$ with radial initial data. In the defocusing case, we prove that any solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space throughout its lifespan must be global and scatter.…

We consider symmetric Dirichlet forms on locally compact and non-locally compact spaces and provide an elementary proof for their closability with respect to energy dominant measures. We also discuss how to use known potential theoretic…

We show that there exists a quantum compact metric space which underlies the setting of each Sobolev algebra associated to a subelliptic Laplacian $\Delta=-(X_1^2+\cdots+X_m^2)$ on a compact connected Lie group $G$ if $p$ is large enough,…

We extend the celebrated theorem of Kellogg for conformal mappings to the minimizers of Dirichlet energy. Namely we prove that a diffeomorphic minimiser of Dirichlet energy of Sobolev mappings between double connected domains $D$ and…

It is known that there exist two different classes of time dependent solutions in the form of space-like (or S)-branes in the low energy M/string theory. Accelerating cosmologies are known to arise from S-branes in one class, but not in the…

We give a sharp lower bound for the energy in homotopy classes of mappings from real projective space to Riemannian manifolds, together with an upper bound for its infimum. We characterize the maps which attain this lower bound for energy,…

The original Casimir effect results from the difference in the vacuum energies of the electromagnetic field, between that in a region of space with boundary conditions and that in the same region without boundary conditions. In this paper…

We study the global Lipschitz character of minimisers of the Dirichlet energy of diffeomorphisms between doubly connected domains with smooth boundaries from Riemann surfaces. The key point of the proof is the fact that minimisers are…

We introduce and study a novel grand Lorentz space-that we believe is appropriate for critical cases-that lies "between" the Lorentz-Karamata space and the recently defined grand Lorentz space from [1]. We prove both Young's and O'Neil's…
