We prove existence and regularity of minimizers for a class of functionals defined on Borel sets in $R^n$. Combining these results with a refinement of the selection principle introduced by the authors in arXiv:0911.0786, we describe a…

Recently it has been shown that the unique locally perimeter minimizing partitioning of the plane into three regions, where one region has finite area and the other two have infinite measure, is given by the so-called standard lens…

The ancient Gamow liquid drop model of nuclear energies has had a renewed life as an interesting problem in the calculus of variations: Find a set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ with given volume A that minimizes the sum of its surface area…

In this article, we consider and analyse a small variant of a functional originally introduced in \cite{BLS,LS} to approximate the (geometric) planar Steiner problem. This functional depends on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and…

The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional in the class of $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps defined in cylindrical surfaces. The model naturally arises as a curved thin-film limit in the theories of…

We consider parametrized problems driven by spatially nonlocal integral operators with parameter-dependent kernels. In particular, kernels with varying nonlocal interaction radius $\delta > 0$ and fractional Laplace kernels, parametrized by…

An infinite cluster $\mathbf E$ in $\mathbb R^d$ is a sequence of disjoint measurable sets $E_k\subset \mathbb R^d$, $k\in \mathbb N$, called regions of the cluster. Given the volumes $a_k\ge 0$ of the regions $E_k$, a natural question is…

The aim of this paper is investigating the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions to non--local equations involving the {\em magnetic fractional Laplacian}, when the nonlinearity is subcritical and asymptotically linear at infinity.…

We present a systematic study on a class of nonlocal integral functionals for functions defined on a bounded domain and the naturally induced function spaces. The function spaces are equipped with a seminorm depending on finite differences…

We study the standing waves for a fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation with mixed dispersion that minimize the associated energy when the $L^2-$norm (the \textit{mass}) } is kept fixed. We need some non-homogeneous Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type…

We consider a variational problem involving competition between surface tension and charge repulsion. We show that, as opposed to the case of weak (short-range) interactions where we proved ill-posedness of the problem in a previous paper,…

We obtain a full resolution result for minimizers in the exterior isoperimetric problem with respect to a compact obstacle in the large volume regime $v\to\infty$. This is achieved by the study of a Plateau-type problem with free boundary…

For $\Omega_\e=(0,\e)\times (0,1)$ a thin rectangle, we consider minimization of the two-dimensional nonlocal isoperimetric problem given by \[ \inf_u E^{\gamma}_{\Omega_\e}(u)\] where \[ E^{\gamma}_{\Omega_\e}(u):=…

We formulate a variational principle for a collection of projectors in an indefinite inner product space. The existence of minimizers is proved in various situations.

We give a simple proof of existence of solutions of the dispersion manage- ment and diffraction management equations for zero average dispersion, respectively diffraction. These solutions are found as maximizers of non-linear and non-local…

We are interested in the study of local and global minimizers for an energy functional of the type $$ \frac{1}{4} \iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2 N} \setminus \left( \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega \right)^2} |u(x) - u(y)|^2 K(x - y) \, dx dy +…

We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.

We consider a constrained minimal energy problem with an external field over noncompact classes of infinite dimensional vector measures on a locally compact space. The components are positive measures (charges) that are constrained from…

The purpose of this article is to extend the work by Anantharaman and Canc\`es [1], and prove the existence of minimizers for the spin-polarized Kohn-Sham model in the presence of a magnetic field within the local spin density…

In this work, we study the minimization of nonlinear functionals in dimension $d\geq 1$ that depend on a degenerate radial weight $w$. Our goal is to prove the existence of minimizers in a suitable functional class here introduced and to…
