We consider the functional $$J(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|\nabla v|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f:[0,+\infty)\to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function vanishing for $s\in [0,\sigma]$, with $\sigma>0$. We prove that a minimizer…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…

For $\Omega_\e=(0,\e)\times (0,1)$ a thin rectangle, we consider minimization of the two-dimensional nonlocal isoperimetric problem given by \[ \inf_u E^{\gamma}_{\Omega_\e}(u)\] where \[ E^{\gamma}_{\Omega_\e}(u):=…

The Aviles-Giga functional $I_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_{\Omega} \frac{\left|1-\left|\nabla u\right|^2\right|^2}{\epsilon}+\epsilon \left|\nabla^2 u\right|^2 \, dx$ is a well known second order functional that models phenomena from blistering to…

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…

We study the Dirichlet problem $-\div(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u) =0 $ in $\Omega$, with $u=f$ on $\partial \Omega$ and $p(x) = \infty$ in $D$, a subdomain of the reference domain $\Omega$. The main issue is to give a proper sense to what…

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 the following Dirichlet problems for elliptic equations with singular drift $\mathbf{b}$: \[ \text{(a) } -\operatorname{div}(A \nabla u)+\operatorname{div}(u\mathbf{b})=f,\quad \text{(b) } -\operatorname{div}(A^T \nabla…

Let $\Omega_\ell = \ell\omega_1 \times \omega_2$ where $\omega_1 \subset \R^p$ and $\omega_2 \subset \R^{n-p}$ are assumed to be open and bounded. We consider the following minimization problem: $$E_{\Omega_\ell}(u_\ell) = \min_{u\in…

We study the viscosity solutions to the first eigenvalue equation. We consider $\Omega$ a bounded B-regular domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and we prove that the Dirichlet problem $\Lambda_{1}(D_{\mathbb{C}}^2 u)=f$ in $\Omega$ and $u=\varphi$ on…

Denote by $E_\epsilon$ the Ginzburg-Landau functional in the plane and let $\tilde u_\varepsilon$ be the radial solution to the Euler equation associated to the problem $\min \left\{E_\varepsilon(u,B_1): \>\left. u\right\vert _{\partial…

We study a minimizing problem associated with the singular problem \[ \left\{ \begin{array} [c]{ll} -\operatorname{div}\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{p-2}\nabla u\right) =\lambda u^{-1} & \mathrm{in\ }\Omega\\ u>0 & \mathrm{in\…

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

Let $\Omega $ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R} ^N $, and let $u\in C^1 (\overline{\Omega }) $ be a weak solution of the following overdetermined BVP: $-\nabla (g(|\nabla u|)|\nabla u|^{-1} \nabla u )=f(|x|,u)$, $ u>0 $ in $\Omega $ and…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded $C^{2}$ domain in $\R^n$, and let $\Omega^{\ast}$ be the Euclidean ball centered at 0 and having the same Lebesgue measure as $\Omega$. Consider the operator $L=-\div(A\nabla)+v\cdot \nabla +V$ on $\Omega$ with…

We are interested in the following Dirichlet problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u + \lambda u - \mu \frac{u}{|x|^2} - \nu \frac{u}{\mathrm{dist}\,(x,\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega)^2} = f(x,u) & \quad \mbox{in } \Omega \\ u = 0 &…

We examine the equation \[\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) \qquad \Omega, \] with either Navier or Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show some uniqueness results under certain constraints on the parameter $ \lambda$. We obtain similar results for…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for second-order linear elliptic equations in divergence form \begin{equation*} -\mathrm{div }(A\nabla u)+\mathbf{b} \cdot \nabla u+\lambda u=f+\mathrm{div } \mathbf{F}\quad \text{in }…

The present work constitutes a first step towards establishing a systematic framework for treating variational problems that depend on a given input function through a mixture of its derivatives of different orders in different directions.…

The authors of this paper deal with the existence and regularities of weak solutions to the homogenous $\hbox{Dirichlet}$ boundary value problem for the equation $-\hbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)+|u|^{p-2}u=\frac{f(x)}{u^{\alpha}}$.…
