The first goal of this paper is to give a short description of the planar bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms, providing simple and self-contained proofs for some already known properties. In particular, for any such homeomorphism $u:\Omega\to…
We study Sobolev regularity results for minimisers of autonomous, convex variational of linear growth which depend on the symmetric gradient rather than the full gradient. This extends the results available in the literature for the…
In unbounded subset $\Omega$ in $R^n$ we study the operator $u\rightarrow gu$ as an operator defined in the Sobolev space $W^{r,p}(\Omega)$ and which takes values in $L^p(\Omega)$. The functions $g$ belong to wider spaces of $L^p$ connected…
We establish that the Dirichlet problem for convex linear growth functionals on $BD$, the functions of bounded deformation, gives rise to the same unconditional Sobolev and partial $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity theory as presently available for…
This paper proves that the approximation of pointwise derivatives of order $s$ of functions in Sobolev space $W_2^m(\R^d)$ by linear combinations of function values cannot have a convergence rate better than $m-s-d/2$, no matter how many…
We prove higher-order fractional Sobolev regularity for fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations in the presence of unbounded source terms. More precisely, we show the existence of a universal number $0< \varepsilon <1$, depending only…
Given $\alpha >0$, we establish the following two supercritical Moser-Trudinger inequalities \[ \sup\limits_{u \in W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B): \int_B |\nabla u|^n dx \leq 1} \int_B \exp\big( (\alpha_n + |x|^\alpha) |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}} \big)…
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,…
In this paper, we are concerned with the convergence rate of a FEM based numerical scheme approximating extremal functions of the Sobolev inequality. We prove that when the domain is polygonal and convex in $\R^2$, the convergence of a…
Motivated by applications to gas filtration problems, we study the regularity of weak solutions to the strongly degenerate parabolic PDE $u_{t}-\mathrm{div}\left((\vert Du\vert-\nu)_{+}^{p-1}\frac{Du}{\vert Du\vert}\right)=f$ in…
The Riesz-Sobolev inequality provides an upper bound, in integral form, for the convolution of indicator functions of subsets of Euclidean space. We formulate and prove a sharper form of the inequality. This can be equivalently phrased as a…
We consider the inequality $f \geqslant f\star f$ for real integrable functions on $d$ dimensional Euclidean space where $f\star f$ denotes the convolution of $f$ with itself. We show that all such functions $f$ are non-negative, which is…
We study homogenization it its most basic form $$-\left(a\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}\right) u_{\varepsilon}'(x)\right)' = f(x) \quad \mbox{for} ~x \in (0,1),$$ where $a(\cdot)$ is a positive $1-$periodic continuous function, $f$ is smooth…
For each $p>1$ and each positive integer $m$ we use divided differences to give intrinsic characterizations of the restriction of the Sobolev space $W^m_p(R)$ to an arbitrary closed subset of the real line.
In many applications, one deals with nonsmooth functions, e.g., in nonsmooth dynamical systems, nonsmooth mechanics, or nonsmooth optimization. In order to establish theoretical results, it is often beneficial to regularize the nonsmooth…
We carry on the investigation started in [2] about the regularity of weak solutions to the strongly degenerate parabolic equation \[ u_{t}-\mathrm{div}\left[(\vert Du\vert-1)_{+}^{p-1}\frac{Du}{\vert…
We study an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary value problem for functions of least gradient on bounded domains in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincar\'e inequality. We show that solutions exist under…
We study existence, uniqueness, and regularity properties of the Dirichlet problem related to fractional Dirichlet energy minimizers in a complete doubling metric measure space $(X,d_X,\mu_X)$ satisfying a $2$-Poincar\'e inequality. Given a…
In this note we will generalize the results deduced in arXiv:1905.08203 and arXiv:2103.15360 to fractional Sobolev spaces. In particular we will show that for $s\in (0,1)$, $n>2s$ and $\nu\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists constants $\delta =…
We develop arguments on convexity and minimization of energy functionals on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to investigate existence of solution to the equation $\displaystyle -\mbox{div} (\phi(|\nabla u|) \nabla u) = f(x,u) + h \mbox{in} \Omega$…
