Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ and a fixed cohomology class, $[\alpha^*] \in H^k(M)$, we consider the existence of a minimizer $\alpha \in [\alpha^*]$ of the generalized minimal surface energy $\int_M \sqrt{1+|\alpha|^2}…

Following P. Fenton, we investigate sum of translates functions $F(\mathbf{x},t):=J(t)+\sum_{j=1}^n \nu_j K(t-x_j)$, where $J:[0,1]\to {\underline{\mathbb{R}}}:=\mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\}$ is a "sufficiently non-degenerate" and upper-bounded…

In this paper we study nonnegative minimizers of general degenerate elliptic functionals, $\int F(X,u,Du) dX \to \min$, for variational kernels $F$ that are discontinuous in $u$ with discontinuity of order $\sim \chi_{\{u > 0 \}}$. The…

The general meson-baryon potential obtained in the context of the Fock-Tani formalism is applied in the $K^{+}N$ system. A simple spin-dependent interaction on quark level is used in order to compare with known results. The short range…

In this paper, we show the existence and non-existence of minimizers of the following minimization problems which include an open problem mentioned by Horiuchi and Kumlin in 2012: \begin{align*} G_a := \inf_{u \in W_0^{1,N}(\Omega )…

We consider a modification of the OMM energy functional which contains an $\ell^1$ penalty term in order to find a sparse representation of the low-lying eigenspace of self-adjoint operators. We analyze the local minima of the modified…

We study tensor-valued minimizers of the Landau-de Gennes energy functional on a simply-connected planar domain $\Omega$ with non-contractible boundary data. Here the tensorial field represents the second moment of a local orientational…

We consider ground states of $L^2$-subcritical nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (1.1), which can be described equivalently by minimizers of the following constraint minimization problem $$ e(\rho):=\inf\{E_{\rho}(u):u\in…

We consider functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(u):=\int_\Omega\!F(x,u,\nabla u)\,\mathrm{d} x,$$ where $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is open and bounded. The integrand $F\colon\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^{N\times…

We study a two parameter family of energy minimization problems for interaction energies $\mathcal{E}_{\alpha,\beta}$ with attractive-repulsive potential $W_{\alpha,\beta}$. We develop a concavity principle, which allows us to provide a…

In this paper we consider a nonlocal energy $I_\alpha$ whose kernel is obtained by adding to the Coulomb potential an anisotropic term weighted by a parameter $\alpha\in \R$. The case $\alpha=0$ corresponds to purely logarithmic…

Finite temperature density functional theory requires representations for the internal energy, entropy, and free energy as functionals of the local density field. A central formal difficulty for an orbital-free representation is…

We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures in one dimension involving an interaction energy that arises in the modelling of aggregation phenomena. We show that in a certain regime minimizers are absolutely…

Given $N$ points $X=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^N$ on the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and a number $0\leq p \leq \infty$ we investigate the minimizers of the functional $\sum_{k, \ell =1}^N |\langle x_k, x_\ell\rangle|^p$. While it is known that each…

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,…

Let $\mu>0$ be a fixed constant, and we prove that minimizers to the following energy functional \begin{align*} E_f(u,\Omega):=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2+\mu P(\Omega) \end{align*}exist among pairs $(\Omega,u)$ such that $\Omega$ is an…

In this paper we review some recent results on nonlocal interaction problems. The focus is on interaction kernels that are anisotropic variants of the classical Coulomb kernel. In other words, while preserving the same singularity at zero…

We consider a class of generalized antiferromagnetic local/nonlocal interaction functionals in general dimension, where a short range attractive term of perimeter type competes with a long range repulsive term characterized by a reflection…

We investigate the ground states of a free energy functional on sphere. The energy consists of an entropy and a nonlocal interaction term that are in competition with each other, as they favour spreading and aggregation, respectively.…

This paper focuses on the minimization of a sum of a twice continuously differentiable function $f$ and a nonsmooth convex function. An inexact regularized proximal Newton method is proposed by an approximation to the Hessian of $f$…
