We consider the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces. We give a complete characterization of indices $\vec p$ and $\vec q$ such that the Riesz potential is bounded from $L^{\vec p}$ to $L^{\vec q}$, including…
We prove a compactness and semicontinuity result that applies to minimisation problems in nonhomogeneous linear elasticity under Dirichlet boundary conditions. This generalises a previous compactness theorem that we proved and employed to…
We study energy functionals obtained by adding a possibly discontinuous potential to an interaction term modeled upon a Gagliardo-type fractional seminorm. We prove that minimizers of such non-differentiable functionals are locally bounded,…
We investigate local and metric geometry of weighted Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces which are a wide generalization of sub-Riemannian manifolds and arise in nonlinear control theory, subelliptic equations etc. For such spaces the intrinsic…
An approximation theorem of Youngs (1948) asserts that a continuous map between compact oriented topological 2-manifolds (surfaces) is monotone if and only if it is a uniform limit of homeomorphisms. Analogous approximation of Sobolev…
In the present paper, we study quantum Sobolev spaces whose elements are operators of the Hilbert-Schmidt class. We construct these Sobolev spaces from the Fourier transform for operators. Next, we obtain continuous embedding theorems.…
Defect of compactness for non-compact imbeddings of Banach spaces can be expressed in the form of a profile decomposition. This paper extends the profile decomposition for Sobolev spaces proved by Solimini (AIHP 1995) to the non-reflexive…
An apparently new concept of maximal mean difference quotient is defined for functions in the Lebesgue space $L_{loc}(R^n)$. Our definitions are meaningful for vector valued functions on general measure metric spaces as well and seem to…
Motivated by a class of nonlinear equations of interest for string theory, we introduce Sobolev spaces on arbitrary locally compact abelian groups and we examine some of their properties. Specifically, we focus on analogs of the Sobolev…

We derive a simplified general expression for the two-body scalar Casimir energy in generalized separable coordinate systems. We apply this technique to the case of radial semi-transparent planes in the annular region between two concentric…
Minimum Riesz energy problems in the presence of an external field are analyzed for a condenser with touching plates. We obtain sufficient and/or necessary conditions for the solvability of these problems in both the unconstrained and the…
In this article, the authors introduce the Newton-Morrey-Sobolev space on a metric measure space $(\mathscr{X},d,\mu)$. The embedding of the Newton-Morrey-Sobolev space into the H\"older space is obtained if $\mathscr{X}$ supports a weak…
This paper investigates the existence and qualitative properties of minimizers for a class of nonlocal micromagnetic energy functionals defined on bounded domains. The considered energy functional consists of a symmetric exchange…
Given a homogeneous k-th order differential operator $A (D)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ between two finite dimensional spaces, we establish the Hardy inequality $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{\lvert D^{k-1}u\rvert}{\lvert x \rvert} \,\mathrm{d} x \leq…
We improve higher-order CR Sobolev inequalities on $S^{2n+1}$ under the vanishing of higher order moments of the volume element. As an application, we give a new and direct proof of the classification of minimizers of the CR invariant…
In this work, we establish some abstract results on the perspective of the fractional Musielak-Sobolev spaces, such as: uniform convexity, Radon-Riesz property with respect to the modular function, $(S_{+})$-property, Brezis-Lieb type Lemma…
We consider a class of defocusing energy-supercritical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in four space dimensions. Following a concentration-compactness approach, we show that for $1<s_c<3/2$, any solution that remains bounded in the…
Given a complete doubling metric measure space $X$ that supports a $2$-Poincar\'e inequality, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain $\Omega$ with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Our approach is based on the…
