This is our third paper, after [4] and [5], about a joint application of the theory developed by Brezis and Mawhin in [1] with our minimax theorems ([2], [3]) to get multiple solutions of problems of the type…

In this paper, we deal with a problem of the type $$\cases{(\phi(u'))'=\nabla_xF(t,u) & in $[0,T]$\cr & \cr u(0)=u(T)\ , \hskip 3pt u'(0)=u'(T)\ ,\cr}$$ where, in particular, $\phi$ is a homeomorphism from an open ball of ${\bf R}^n$ onto…

We consider the problem of minimizing the Lagrangian $\int [F(\nabla u)+f\,u]$ among functions on $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ with given boundary datum $\varphi$. We prove Lipschitz regularity up to the boundary for solutions of this…

We are concerned with solvability of the boundary value problem $$-\left[ \phi(u^{\prime}) \right] ^{\prime}=\nabla_u F(t,u), \quad \left ( \phi \left( u^{\prime }\right)(0), -\phi \left( u^{\prime }\right)(T)\right )\in \partial j(u(0),…

We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…

The constrained minimisers of convex integral functionals of the form $\mathscr F(v)=\int_\Omega F(\nabla^k v(x))\mathrm d x $ defined on Sobolev mappings $v\in \mathrm W^{k,1}_g(\Omega , \mathbb R^N )\cap K$, where $K$ is a closed convex…

Every Euclidean domain $R$ has a minimal Euclidean function, $\phi_R$. A companion paper \cite{Graves} introduced a formula to compute $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}[i]}$. It is the first formula for a minimal Euclidean function for the ring of integers…

In this paper, we obtain existence results of periodic solutions of hamiltonian systems in the Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^1L^{\Phi}([0,T])$. We employ the direct method of calculus of variations and we consider a potential function $F$…

In this paper, using the theory developed in [8], we obtain some results of a totally new type about a class of non-local problems. Here is a sample: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain, with $n\geq 4$, let $a, b,…

We get a new multiplicity result for gradient systems. Here is a very particular corollary: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) be a smooth bounded domain and let $\Phi:{\bf R}^2\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ function, with $\Phi(0,0)=0$,…

Let $(\Sigma,g)$ be a compact Riemannian surface without boundary and $\lambda_1(\Sigma)$ be the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g$. Let $h$ be a positive smooth function on $\Sigma$. Define a functional…

We study dynamic minimization problems of the calculus of variations with generalized Lagrangian functionals that depend on a general linear operator $K$ and defined on bounded-time intervals. Under assumptions of regularity, convexity and…

We consider elliptic operators in divergence form with lower order terms of the form $Lu=-$div$\nabla u+bu)-c\nabla u-du$, in an open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, with possibly infinite Lebesgue measure. We assume that the…

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing functionals of the form $E(u)=\int_B f(x,\nabla u) \,dx$ in a suitably prepared class of incompressible, planar maps $u: B \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. Here, $B$ is the unit disk and…

In this article we build a null-Lagrangian and a calibration for general nonlocal elliptic functionals in the presence of a field of extremals. Thus, our construction assumes the existence of a family of solutions to the Euler-Lagrange…

We consider barotropic motions described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a box with periodic boundary conditions. We are looking for density $\varrho$ in the form $\varrho=a+\eta$, where $a$ is a constant and $\eta|_{t=0}$ is…

This paper focuses on the general linearly constrained optimization problem: $\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^d} f(x) \ \text{s.t.} \ Ax = b$, where $f: \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \cup \{+\infty\}$ is a closed proper convex function, $A \in…

We prove a local Faber-Krahn inequality for solutions $u$ to the Dirichlet problem for $\Delta + V$ on an arbitrary domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Suppose a solution $u$ assumes a global maximum at some point $x_0 \in \Omega$ and…

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 prove that, on a closed surface, a Lagrangian system defined by a Tonelli Lagrangian $L$ possesses a periodic orbit that is a local minimizer of the free-period action functional on every energy level belonging to the low range of…
