This work is devoted to the study of the existence of at least one weak solution to nonlocal equations involving a general integro-differential operator of fractional type. As a special case, we derive an existence theorem for the…

We establish some higher differentiability results of integer and fractional order for solution to non-autonomous obstacle problems of the form \begin{equation*} \min \left\{\int_{\Omega}f(x, Dv(x))\,:\, v\in…

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…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be an open bounded connected set. We consider the indefinite weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in $\Omega$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with…

We prove global $W^{1,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)$-regularity for minimisers of convex functionals of the form $\mathscr{F}(u)=\int_\Omega F(x,Du)\mathrm{d} x$. $W^{1,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)$ regularity is also proven for minimisers of the…

A family of integral functionals F which, in a simplified way, model material microstructure occupying a two-dimensional domain D and which take account of surface energy and a variable well-depth is studied. It is shown that there is a…

We study the minimizers of a functional on the set of partitions of a domain $\Omega \subset R^n$ into $N$ subsets $W_j$ of locally finite perimeter in $\Omega$, whose main term is $\sum_{j=1^N} \int_{\Omega \cap \partial W_j} a(x)…

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 construct a continuous Lagrangian, strictly convex and superlinear in the third variable, such that the associated variational problem has a Lipschitz minimizer which is non-differentiable on a dense set. More precisely, the upper and…

The paper studies the existence of minimizers for Rayleigh quotients $\mu_{\Omega}=\inf\frac{\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^2}{\int_\Omega V{|u|^2}} $, where $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, and $V$ is a nonzero nonnegative function that may…

We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

The problem of minimizing an integral functional of a vector-valued Lagrangian on a set of admissible arcs with given endpoints is considered. The problem is tackled by embedding it into a set-optimization problem such that the image space…

We prove results on the relaxation and weak* lower semicontinuity of integral functionals of the form \[ \mathcal{F}[u] := \int_{\Omega} f \bigg( \frac{1}{2} \bigl( \nabla u(x) + \nabla u(x)^T \bigr) \bigg)\,\mathrm{d} x, \qquad u : \Omega…

We establish the local boundedness of the local minimizers $u:\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{m}$ of non-uniformly elliptic integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f(x,Dv)\,dx$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$…

Let us consider the autonomous obstacle problem \begin{equation*} \min_v \int_\Omega F(Dv(x)) \, dx \end{equation*} on a specific class of admissible functions, where we suppose the Lagrangian satisfies proper hypotheses of convexity and…

We establish the higher differentiability for the minimizers of the following non-autonomous integral functionals \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u,\Omega):= \, \int_\Omega \sum_{i=1}^{n} \, a_i(x) \lvert u_{x_i} \rvert^{p_i} dx,…

In this paper we study the existence of minimizers for $$ F(u) = \1/2\int_{\R^3} |\nabla u|^2 dx + 1/4\int_{\R^3}\int_{\R^3}\frac{| u(x) |^2| u(y) |^2}{| x-y |}dxdy-\frac{1}{p}\int_{\R^3}| u |^p dx$$ on the constraint $$S(c) = \{u \in…

We consider a class of convex integral functionals composed of a term of linear growth in the gradient of the argument, and a fidelity term involving $L^2$ distance from a datum. Such functionals are known to attain their infima in the $BV$…

In the setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we study the problem of minimizing the BV-energy in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of functions bounded between two obstacle functions…

We prove the existence of vectorial Absolute Minimisers in the sense of Aronsson to the supremal functional $E_\infty(u,\Omega') = \|\mathscr{L}(\cdot,u,D u)\|_{L^\infty(\Omega')}$, $\Omega'\Subset \Omega$, applied to $W^{1,\infty}$ maps…
