This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain…

We consider the approximation of minimal geodesics between two closed sets in $\mathbb{R}^D$ endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric. The continuous problem is formulated as the minimization of the energy functional over piecewise smooth…

We consider a version of Gamow's liquid drop model with a short range attractive perimeter-penalizing potential and a long-range Coulomb interaction of a uniformly charged mass in $\R^3$. Here we constrain ourselves to minimizing among the…

We characterize the volume-constrained minimizers of a nonlocal free energy given by the difference of the $t$-perimeter and the $s$-perimeter, with $s$ smaller than $t$. Exploiting the quantitative fractional isoperimetric inequality, we…

We show weak-strong uniqueness and stability results for the motion of a two or three dimensional fluid governed by the Navier-Stokes equation interacting with a flexible, elastic plate of Koiter type. The plate is situated at the top of…

We study the 2D Euler equation in a bounded simply-connected domain, and establish the local uniqueness of flow whose stream function $\psi_\varepsilon$ satisfies \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2\Delta…

We study the asymptotic behavior of finite energy $\rm{SU}(2)$ monopoles, and general critical points of the $\rm{SU}(2)$ Yang--Mills--Higgs energy, on asymptotically conical $3$-manifolds with only one end. Our main results generalize…

Let $n\geq 3$ and let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a $\mathcal{C}^1$ bounded domain which is diffeomorphic to a ball. We investigate here the problem of finding critical points of the $n$-energy in the space $\mathcal{I}=\{v\in…

Inspired by a planar partitioning problem involving multiple improper chambers, this article investigates using classical techniques what can be said of the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of minimizers in a certain free-endpoint…

On the two dimensional sphere, we consider axisymmetric critical points of an isoperimetric problem perturbed by a long-range interaction term. When the parameter controlling the nonlocal term is sufficiently large, we prove the existence…

In this paper, we extend the notion of stationary curves with respect to the moment of inertia from a point $N$ in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ to the case that the ambient space is either the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$ or the…

Employing a local version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, we give a new and simple proof of a result due to Andrews, Choi and Daskalopoulos that the origin-centred balls are the only closed, self-similar solutions of the Gauss curvature…

In this paper, we study the weak compactness of the set of conformal metrics in any Riemann surface without boundary whose Calabi energy and area are uniformly bounded. We prove that for any sequence of such metrics, there alwasy exists a…

In this paper, we investigate energy-minimizing curves with fixed endpoints $p$ and $q$ in a constrained space. We prove that when one of the endpoints, say $p$, is fixed, the set of points $q$ for which the energy-minimizing curve is not…

We consider a nonlocal aggregation equation with degenerate diffusion, which describes the mean-field limit of interacting particles driven by nonlocal interactions and localized repulsion. When the interaction potential is attractive, it…

We study existence and convergence properties of least-energy symmetric solutions (l.e.s.s.) to the pure critical problem \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^su_s=|u_s|^{2^\star_s-2}u_s, \quad u_s\in D^s_0(\Omega),\quad 2^\star_s:=\frac{2N}{N-2s},…

A compactness theorem for volume-constrained almost-critical points of elliptic integrands is proven. The result is new even for the area functional, as almost-criticality is measured in an integral rather than in a uniform sense. Two main…

This paper is concerned with the macroscopic behavior of global energy minimizers in the three-dimensional sharp interface unscreened Ohta-Kawasaki model of diblock copolymer melts. This model is also referred to as the nuclear liquid drop…

We study the nonlocal Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation on the one-dimensional torus, \[ u_t+u u_x=\Lambda^{r}u-\varepsilon \Lambda^{s}u,\qquad x\in\mathbb T, \] where $\varepsilon>0$, $s>1$, $r\in[-1,s)$. We first prove local and global…

This article is an expository introduction to our paper Convexity of the K-energy and Uniqueness of Extremal metrics. We present the main ideas behind the proof that Mabuchi's K-energy functional is convex along weak geodesics in the space…
