The aim of this paper is to discuss the main result in the paper by D.Y. Gao and X. Lu [On the extrema of a nonconvex functional with double-well potential in 1D, Z. Angew. Math. Phys. (2016) 67:62]. More precisely we provide a detailed…

This paper presents a set of complete solutions of a nonconvex variational problem with a double-well potential. Based on the canonical duality-triality theory, the associated nonlinear differential equation with either Dirichlet/Neumann or…

Solutions of nonlinear multi-component Euler-Monge partial differential equations are constructed in n spatial dimensions by dimension-doubling, a method that completely linearizes the problem. Nonlocal structures are an essential feature…

In this article we develop a new primal dual variational formulation suitable for a large class of non-convex problems in the calculus of variations. The results are obtained through basic tools of convex analysis, duality theory, the…

We consider separable nonconvex optimization problems under affine constraints. For these problems, the Shapley-Folkman theorem provides an upper bound on the duality gap as a function of the nonconvexity of the objective functions, but…

The paper deals with the optimal control problem described by second order evolution differential inclusions; to this end first we use an auxiliary problem with second order discrete and discrete-approximate inclusions. Then applying…

We propose a duality scheme for solving constrained nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems in a reflexive Banach space. We establish strong duality for a very general type of augmented Lagrangian, in which we assume a less…

This paper presents a canonical dual approach for solving a nonconvex global optimization problem governed by a sum of fourth-order polynomial and a log-sum-exp function. Such a problem arises extensively in engineering and sciences. Based…

This article develops a duality principle for a class of optimization problems in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The results are obtained based on standard tools of convex analysis and on a well known result of Toland for D.C. optimization. Global…

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation involving variable exponents and provides some theorems on existence and regularity of strong solutions. In the proof of these results, we…

This article develops a primal dual formulation for a primal proximal approach suitable for a large class of non-convex models in the calculus of variations. The results are established through standard tools of functional analysis, convex…

In this article we develop a duality principle suitable for a large class of problems in optimization. The main result is obtained through basic tools of convex analysis and duality theory. We establish a correct relation between the…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

Neumann eigenvalues being non-decreasing with respect to domain inclusion, it makes sense to study the two shape optimization problems $\min\{\mu_k(\Omega):\Omega \mbox{ convex},\Omega \subset D, \}$ (for a given box $D$) and…

Nonlinear eigenvalue problems for pairs of homogeneous convex functions are particular nonlinear constrained optimization problems that arise in a variety of settings, including graph mining, machine learning, and network science. By…

For the principal eigenvalue with bilateral Dirichlet boundary condition, the so-called basic estimates were originally obtained by capacitary method. The Neumann case (i.e., the ergodic case) is even harder, and was deduced from the…

This is the final part of a series of papers where we study perturbations of divergence form second order elliptic operators $-\operatorname{div} A \nabla$ by first and zero order terms, whose complex coefficients lie in critical spaces,…

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem, with Dirichlet boundary condition, for a class of very degenerate elliptic operators, with the aim to show that, at least for square type domains having fixed volume, the symmetry of the domain…

We investigate nonlinear eigenproblems for a broad class of proper, closed, convex functionals in reflexive Banach spaces. We develop a dual formulation of the nonlinear eigenproblem using the Fenchel conjugate and establish an equivalence…

We study the extremal solution for the problem $(-\Delta)^s u=\lambda f(u)$ in $\Omega$, $u\equiv0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter and $s\in(0,1)$. We extend some well known results for the extremal solution when…
