We study the asymptotic behavior, when $\varepsilon\to0$, of the minimizers $\{u_\varepsilon\}_{\varepsilon>0}$ for the energy \begin{equation*} E_\varepsilon(u)=\int_{\Omega}\Big(|\nabla…

We consider triplets of densities $(u_1,u_2,u_3)$ minimizing the Dirichlet energy \[\sum_{j=1}^3 \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_j|^2\,dx \] over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, subject to the partial segregation condition: \[…

The study of singular perturbations of the Dirichlet energy is at the core of the phenomenological-description paradigm in soft condensed matter. Being able to pass to the limit plays a crucial role in the understanding of the…

Given two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$, we consider the energy concentration phenomena of the penalized energy functional $$E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{\vert\nabla u\vert^2}{2}+\frac{F(u)}{\epsilon^2},u\in…

We show that the mappings $u\in \dot{W}^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{N})$ into manifolds $\mathcal{N}$ of a sufficiently simple topology that minimize the energy $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{n+sp}}…

In this paper we initiate the study of maps minimising the energy $$ \int_{D} (|\nabla \u|^2+2|\u|)\ dx. $$ which, due to Lipschitz character of the integrand, gives rise to the singular Euler equations $$ \Delta…

We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_\Omega(u) := \int_\Omega B(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this…

In this manuscript, we delve into the study of maps $u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega;\overline M)$ that minimize the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional $$ \int_\Omega (|Du|^2 + q^2 \chi_{u^{-1}(M)})\,dx, $$ under the condition that the image $u(\Omega)$…

We study homogenization of a boundary obstacle problem on $ C^{1,\alpha} $ domain $D$ for some elliptic equations with uniformly elliptic coefficient matrices $\gamma$. For any $ \epsilon\in\mathbb{R}_+$, $\partial D=\Gamma \cup \Sigma$,…

In this paper we give an explicit sufficient condition for the affine map $u_\lambda(x):=\lambda x$ to be the global energy minimizer of a general class of elastic stored-energy functionals $I(u)=\int_{\Omega} W(\nabla u)\,dx$ in three…

We study the asymptotic behaviour, as a small parameter $\varepsilon$ tends to zero, of minimisers of a Ginzburg-Landau type energy with a nonlinear penalisation potential vanishing on a compact submanifold $\mathcal{N}$ and with a given…

We prove Lojasiewicz inequalities for the harmonic map energy for maps from surfaces of positive genus into general analytic target manifolds which are close to simple bubble trees and as a consequence obtain new results on the convergence…

We study the highly anisotropic energy of two-dimensional unit vector fields given by \begin{align*} E_\epsilon(u)= \int_{\Omega} (\mathrm{div}\,u)^2 + \epsilon(\mathrm{curl}\,u)^2\, dx\,, \quad u\colon\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb…

We study a variational problem for piecewise-smooth hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space with an anisotropic energy. An anisotropic energy is the integral of an energy density that depends on the normal at each point over…

We consider periodic homogenization with localized defects for semilinear elliptic equations and systems of the type $$ \nabla\cdot\Big(\Big(A(x/\varepsilon)+B(x/\varepsilon)\Big)\nabla u(x)+c(x,u(x)\Big)=d(x,u(x)) \mbox{ in } \Omega $$…

We consider critical points $u:\Omega\to N$ of the bi-energy \[ \int_\Omega |\Delta u|^2\,d x, \] where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ is a bounded smooth domain of dimension $m\ge 5$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$ a compact submanifold without…

Given a $C^k$-smooth closed embedded manifold $\mathcal N\subset{\mathbb R}^m$, with $k\ge 2$, and a compact connected smooth Riemannian surface $(S,g)$ with $\partial S\neq\emptyset$, we consider $\frac 12$-harmonic maps $u\in…

For a given family of smooth closed curves $\gamma^1,...,\gamma^\alpha\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ we consider the problem of finding an elastic \emph{connected} compact surface $M$ with boundary $\gamma=\gamma^1\cup...\cup\gamma^\alpha$. This is…

We prove the existence of a homogenization limit for solutions of appropriately formulated sequences of boundary obstacle problems for the Laplacian on $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains. Specifically, we prove that the energy minimizers $u_\epsilon$…

We consider minimizing harmonic maps $u$ from $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$ and prove: (1) an extension to $n \geq 4$ of Almgren and Lieb's linear law. That is, if the fundamental group of the…
