We provide relaxation for not lower semicontinuous supremal functionals of the type $W^{1,\infty}(\Omega;\mathbb R^d) \ni u \mapsto\supess_{ x \in \Omega}f(\nabla u(x))$ in the vectorial case, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$ is a…

We study existence of a weak solution for one-dimensional problems as \begin{equation}\label{intro}\tag{1} \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\frac{d}{dx}\left(a(x) \frac{d u}{dx}\right) = - \frac{d \phi (u) }{dx}- \frac{d g(x) }{dx}&…

We study energy functionals associated with quasi-linear Schr\"odinger operators on infinite graphs, and develop characterisations of (sub-)criticality via Green's functions, harmonic functions of minimal growth and capacities. We proof a…

Rigorous mathematical foundations of density functional theory are revisited, with some use of infinitesimal (nonstandard) methods. A thorough treatment is given of basic properties of internal energy and ground-state energy functionals…

We consider the generalized Wirtinger inequality \[ (\int_{0}^{T} a |u|^q )^{1/q} \le C \biggm(\int_{0}^{T} a^{1-p} |u'|^{p}\biggm)^{1/p}, \] with $p,q>1$, $T>0$, $a\in L^1[0,T]$, $a\ge0$, $a\not\equiv0$ and where $u$ is a $T$-periodic…

This article addresses structure-preserving smooth approximation of semiconcave functions. semiconcave functions are of particular interest because they naturally arise in a variety of variational problems, including {optimal feedback…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be the class of functions $f$ that are analytic in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ and normalized such that $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. Let $0<\lambda\le1$ and \[ {\mathcal U}(\lambda) = \left\{ f\in{\mathcal A}: \left…

Motivated by the direct method in the calculus of variations in $L^{\infty}$, our main result identifies the notion of convexity characterizing the weakly$^*$ lower semicontinuity of nonlocal supremal functionals: Cartesian level convexity.…

Consider a quantum cat map $M$ associated to a matrix $A\in\mathop{\mathrm{Sp}}(2n,\mathbb Z)$, which is a common toy model in quantum chaos. We show that the mass of eigenfunctions of $M$ on any nonempty open set in the position-frequency…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

In this paper we model discontinuous extended real functions in pointfree topology following a lattice-theoretic approach, in such a way that, if $L$ is a subfit frame, arbitrary extended real functions on $L$ are the elements of the…

In this note besides two abstract versions of the Vitali Covering Lemma an abstract Hardy-Littlewood Maximal Inequality, generalizing weak type (1,1) maximal function inequality, associated to any outer measure and a family of subsets on a…

In this work a linearly constrained minimization of a positive semidefinite quadratic functional is examined. Our results are concerning infinite dimensional real Hilbert spaces, with a singular positive operator related to the functional,…

We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…

Lemma 1 from the paper [N.E. Gretsky, J.M. Ostroy, W.R. Zame, Subdifferentiability and the duality gap, Positivity 6: 261--274, 2002] asserts that the value function $v$ of an infinite dimensional linear programming problem in standard form…

We prove that the realization $A_p$ in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N),\,1<p<\infty$, of the elliptic operator $A=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta+b|x|^{\alpha-1}\frac{x}{|x|}\cdot \nabla-c|x|^{\beta}$ with domain $D(A_p) =\{ u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\, |\, Au…

Let $\mathcal{F} $ be a pointwise almost periodic decomposition of a compact metrizable space $X$. Then $\mathcal{F} $ is $R$-closed if and only if $\hat{\mathcal{F}} $ is usc. Moreover, if there is a finite index normal subgroup $H$ of an…

In this article, following a first work of the author, we study critical subsolutions in discrete weak KAM theory. In particular, we establish that if the cost function $c:M \times M\to \R{}$ defined on a smooth connected manifold is…

For a real number $\alpha$ the Hilbert spaces $\mathscr{D}_\alpha$ consists of those Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n/n^s$ for which $\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|^2/[d(n)]^\alpha < \infty$, where $d(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of…
