We consider the Griffith fracture model in two spatial dimensions, and prove existence of strong minimizers, with closed jump set and continuously differentiable deformation fields. One key ingredient, which is the object of the present…

In this paper we continue the study of the Griffith brittle fracture energy minimisation under Dirichlet boundary conditions, suggested by Francfort and Marigo in 1998. In a recent paper, we proved the existence of weak minimisers of the…

We prove that special functions of bounded deformation with small jump set are close in energy to functions which are smooth in a slightly smaller domain. This permits to generalize the decay estimate by De Giorgi, Carriero, and Leaci to…

In this note we show Ahlfors-regularity for a large class of quasiminimizers of the Griffith functional. This allows us to prove that, for a range of free discontinuity problems in linear elasticity with anisotropic, cohesive, or…

We consider regularity of the crack set associated to a minimizer of the Griffith fracture energy, often used in modeling brittle materials. We show that the crack is uniformly rectifiable which in conjunction with our previous…

The seminal paper of Francfort and Marigo [FM] introduced a variational formulation for Griffith fracture that has resulted in substantial theoretical and practical progress in modeling and simulating fracture. In particular, it led to the…

We study the quantitative stability associated with the adjoint Fourier restriction inequality, focusing on the paraboloid and two-dimensional sphere cases. We show that these Strichartz-stability inequalities admit minimizers attaining…

We revisit the question of existence and regularity of minimizers to weighted least gradient problems on a fixed bounded domain, subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case where the boundary data is continuous and the weight…

This paper is devoted to show a discrete adaptive finite element approximation result for the isotropic two-dimensional Griffith energy arising in fracture mechanics. The problem is addressed in the geometric measure theoretic framework of…

In this expository Note, it is shown that the Griffith phase-field theory of fracture accounting for material strength originally introduced by Kumar, Francfort, and Lopez-Pamies (J Mech Phys Solids 112, 523--551, 2018) in the form of PDEs…

We propose here a proof of existence of a minimizer of a segmentation functional based on a priori information on target shapes, and formulated with level sets. The existence of a minimizer is very important, because it guarantees the…

We establish conditions to ensure the existence of minimizer for a class of mass-constrained functionals involving a nonattractive point interaction in three dimensions. The existence of minimizers follows from the compactness of minimizing…

We study a variant of the variational model for the quasi-static growth of brittle fractures proposed by Francfort and Marigo. The main feature of our model is that, in the discrete-time formulation, in each step we do not consider absolute…

We consider a class of non--linear and non--local functionals giving rise to the Choquard equation with a suitably regular interaction potential, modelling, i.e., gases with impurities and axion stars. We study how existence of minimizers…

Some Mumford-Shah functionals are revisited as perturbed area functionals in connection with brittle damage mechanics. We find minimizers "on paper" for the classical Mumford-Shah functional for some particular two dimensional domains and…

We establish a new monotonicity formula for minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional in planar domains. Our formula follows the spirit of Bucur-Luckhaus, but works with the David-L\'eger entropy instead of the energy. Interestingly, this…

In this paper we exhibit a family of stationary solutions of the Mumford-Shah functional in $\mathbb{R}^3$, arbitrary close to a crack-front. Unlike other examples, known in the literature, those are topologically non-minimizing in the…

We focus on existence and rigidity problems of the vectorial Peierls-Nabarro (PN) model for dislocations. Under the assumption that the misfit potential on the slip plane only depends on the shear displacement along the Burgers vector, a…

We consider a two-dimensional atomic mass spring system and show that in the small displacement regime the corresponding discrete energies can be related to a continuum Griffith energy functional in the sense of Gamma-convergence. We also…

In this paper we prove that the singular set of connected minimizers of the planar Griffith functional has Hausdorff dimension strictly less then one, together with the higher integrability of the symetrized gradient.
