This paper is devoted to the study of second order optimality conditions for strong local minimizers in the frameworks of unconstrained and constrained optimization problems in finite dimensions via subgradient graphical derivative. We…
In this paper, we introduce a new second-order directional derivative and a second-order subdifferential of Hadamard type for an arbitrary nondifferentiable function. We derive several second-order optimality conditions for a local and a…
The goal of this paper is to derive in the two-dimensional case necessary and sufficient minimality conditions in terms of the second variation for the functional \[ v\mapsto\int_{\Omega}\big(|\nabla v|^{2}+\chi_{\{v>0\}}Q^{2} \big)\,dx, \]…
We prove some regularity results for a priori bounded local minimizers of non-autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(v,\Omega)=\int_\Omega F(x,Dv)dx,$$ under the constraint $v \ge \psi$ a.e. in $\Omega$, where $\psi$ is a…
The aim of this paper is to study certain problems of calculus of variations, that are dependent upon a Lagrange function on a Caputo-type fractional derivative. This type of fractional operator is a generalization of the Caputo and the…
We prove optimality conditions for different variational functionals containing left and right Caputo fractional derivatives. A sufficient condition of minimization under an appropriate convexity assumption is given. An Euler-Lagrange…
As an alternative to the covariant Ostrogradski method, we show that higher-derivative relativistic Lagrangian field theories can be reduced to second differential-order by writing them directly as covariant two-derivative theories…
Regularization plays a key role in a variety of optimization formulations of inverse problems. A recurring theme in regularization approaches is the selection of regularization parameters, and their effect on the solution and on the optimal…
We prove a theorem on self-improving regularity for derivatives of solutions of the inequality $F(v'(x))\le KG(v'(x))$ constructed by means of a quasiconvex function $F$ and a null Lagrangian $G$. We apply this theorem to improve the…
The Signorini problem for the Laplace operator is considered in a general polygonal domain. It is proved that the coincidence set consists of a finite number of boundary parts plus isolated points. The regularity of the solution is…
We develop a singular pseudodifferential calculus. The symbols that we consider do not satisfy the standard decay with respect to the frequency variables. We thus adopt a strategy based on the Calderon-Vaillancourt Theorem. The remainders…
Nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations are common in various fields of science, such as physics, mechanics and biology. Here we provide a new family of integrable second-order ordinary differential equations by considering…
We prove optimality conditions for generalized quantum variational problems with a Lagrangian depending on the free end-points. Problems of calculus of variations of this type cannot be solved using the classical theory.
This paper addresses the gain of global fractional regularity in Nikolskii spaces for solutions of a class of quasilinear degenerate equations with $(p,q)$-growth. Indeed, we investigate the effects of the datum on the derivatives of order…
Second-order sufficient conditions for local optimality have been playing an important role in local convergence analysis of optimization algorithms. In this paper, we demonstrate that this condition alone suffices to justify the linear…
We consider the functional \[ F(u)=\int_{\Omega} f(\nabla u)\,dx\qquad u\in\varphi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $\Omega$ is a Lipschitz bounded open set of $\R^N$, $f:\R^N\to\R\cup \{+\infty\}$ is a superlinear Borel function, $\varphi\in…
We clarify and extend insights from Lavrentiev's seminal paper. We examine the original theorem dealing with the absence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon, a cornerstone issue in the calculus of variations. We point out some inconsistencies in…
In this work we look at the original fractional calculus of variations problem in a somewhat different way. As a simple consequence, we show that a fractional generalization of a classical problem has a solution without any restrictions on…
We study operators that are generalizations of the classical Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, and of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives. A useful formula relating the generalized fractional derivatives is proved,…
The aim of this work is to study fiber derivatives associated to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions describing the dynamics of a higher-order autonomous dynamical system. More precisely, given a function in $T^*T^{(k-1)}Q$, we find…
