The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional in the class of $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps defined in cylindrical surfaces. The model naturally arises as a curved thin-film limit in the theories of…

We study an NP-hard problem motivated by energy-efficiently maintaining the connectivity of a symmetric wireless communication network: Given an edge-weighted $n$-vertex graph, find a connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost, where the…

Structural learning, a method to estimate the parameters for discrete energy minimization, has been proven to be effective in solving computer vision problems, especially in 3D scene parsing. As the complexity of the models increases,…

The goal of the present paper is to establish some kind of regularity of an energy minimizer map between Riemannian polyhedra. More precisely, we will show the h\"{o}lder continuity of local energy minimizers between Riemannian polyhedra…

The potential energy curves of P2 and P2+ have been calculated using an approximate, albeit strictly N-representable, energy functional of the one-particle reduced density matrix: PNOF5. Quite satisfactory accord is found for the…

Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and metastable configurations correspond to…

We prove existence and regularity of minimisers for the Canham-Helfrich energy in the class of weak (possibly branched and bubbled) immersions of the $2$-sphere. This solves (the spherical case) of the minimisation problem proposed by…

We investigate the convergence as $p\searrow1$ of the minimizers of the $W^{s,p}$-energy for $s\in(0,1)$ and $p\in(1,\infty)$ to those of the $W^{s,1}$-energy, both in the pointwise sense and by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. We also…

This paper discusses the regularity of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing maps into the sphere. It shows that even at branched point, as long as the normalized energy is small enough, we have the energy decay estimate. Combined with the…

We establish a lower bound theorem for the number of $k$-faces ($1\le k\le d-2$) in a $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ (abbreviated as a $d$-polytope) with $2d+2$ vertices, extending the previously known case for $k=1$. We identify all…

We discuss two optimization problems related to the fractional $p$-Laplacian. First, we prove the existence of at least one minimizer for the principal eigenvalue of the fractional $p$-Laplacian with Dirichlet conditions, with a bounded…

Inspired by previous work of Kusner and Bauer-Kuwert, we prove a strict inequality between the Willmore energies of two surfaces and their connected sum in the context of isoperimetric constraints. Building on previous work by…

We prove a lower bound theorem for the number of $k$-faces ($1\le k\le d-2$) in a $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ (or $d$-polytope) with up to $3d-1$ vertices. Previous lower bound theorems for $d$-polytopes with few vertices concern those…

Let $n$ be an arbitrary integer, let $p$ be a prime factor of $n$. Denote by $\omega_1$ the $p^{th}$ primitive unity root, $\omega_1:=e^{\frac{2\pi i}{p}}$. Define $\omega_i:=\omega_1^i$ for $0\leq i\leq p-1$ and…

For a prime $p$, let $E_{p,p^m}=\{\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\p^{m-1}c&d\end{pmatrix}|a,b,c\in\mathbb{Z}_{p},~\mathrm{and}~d\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^{m}}\}$. We first establish a ring isomorphism from $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb{Z}_p\times\mathbb{Z}_p^m)$ onto…

We obtain a sufficient condition for boundary regularity of quasiminimizers of the p-energy integral in terms of a Wiener type sum of power type. The exponent in the sum is independent of the dimension and is explicitly expressed in terms…

Energy minimization algorithms, such as graph cuts, enable the computation of the MAP solution under certain probabilistic models such as Markov random fields. However, for many computer vision problems, the MAP solution under the model is…

We prove lower bounds for energy functionals of mappings from real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces to Riemannian manifolds. For real and complex projective spaces, these lower bounds are sharp, and we characterize the family of…

}We study (vertex-disjoint) $P_2$-packings in graphs under a parameterized perspective. Starting from a maximal $P_2$-packing $\p$ of size $j$ we use extremal arguments for determining how many vertices of $\p$ appear in some $P_2$-packing…

In this article we introduce and investigate a new two-parameter family of knot energies $TP^{(p,q)}$ that contains the tangent-point energies. These energies are obtained by decoupling the exponents in the numerator and denominator of the…
