We address the minimization of the Canham-Helfrich functional in presence of multiple phases. The problem is inspired by the modelization of heterogeneous biological membranes, which may feature variable bending rigidities and spontaneous…

In this paper we prove the uniqueness and radial symmetry of minimizers for variational problems that model several phenomena. The uniqueness is a consequence of the convexity of the functional. The main technique is Fourier transform of…

In this paper we prove a $\mathcal C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity result for minimizers of the planar Griffith functional arising from a variational model of brittle fracture. We prove that any isolated connected component of the crack, the…

We study a one-dimensional electron liquid embedded in a 2D antiferromagnetic insulator, and coupled to it via a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction. We argue that this model may qualitatively capture the physics of a single…

We consider periodic piecewise affine functions, defined on the real line, with two given slopes and prescribed length scale of the regions where the slope is negative. We prove that, in such a class, the minimizers of $s$-fractional…

Inspired by numerical studies of the aggregation equation, we study the effect of regularization on nonlocal interaction energies. We consider energies defined via a repulsive-attractive interaction kernel, regularized by convolution with a…

This is part one in a series of two papers dedicated to the notion that the destruction of the topological order associated with stripe phases is about the simplest theory controlled by local symmetry: Ising gauge theory. This first part is…

We consider surfaces which minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional and we discuss their interior regularity and rigidity properties, in a quantitative and qualitative way, and their (perhaps rather surprising) boundary behavior. We present…

We show that the heat flow provides good approximation properties for the area functional on proper $\RCD(K,\infty)$ spaces, implying that in this setting the area formula for functions of bounded variation holds and that the area…

We establish local $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity for some $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and $C^{\alpha}$-regularity for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$ of local minimizers of the functional \[ v\ \mapsto\ \int_\Omega \phi(x,|Dv|)\,dx, \] where $\phi$ satisfies a…

We consider the unconstrained $L_2$-$L_p$ minimization: find a minimizer of $\|Ax-b\|^2_2+\lambda \|x\|^p_p$ for given $A \in R^{m\times n}$, $b\in R^m$ and parameters $\lambda>0$, $p\in [0,1)$. This problem has been studied extensively in…

We consider a minimization problem whose objective function is the sum of a fidelity term, not necessarily convex, and a regularization term defined by a positive regularization parameter $\lambda$ multiple of the $\ell_0$ norm composed…

Minimizers are sampling schemes with numerous applications in computational biology. Assuming a fixed alphabet of size $\sigma$, a minimizer is defined by two integers $k,w\ge2$ and a linear order $\rho$ on strings of length $k$ (also…

We prove some regularity results for a priori bounded local minimizers of non-autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(v,\Omega)=\int_\Omega F(x,Dv)dx,$$ under the constraint $v \ge \psi$ a.e. in $\Omega$, where $\psi$ is a…

As a starting point of our research, we show that, for a fixed order $\gamma\geq 1$, each local minimizer of a rather general nonsmooth optimization problem in Euclidean spaces is either M-stationary in the classical sense (corresponding to…

We numerically examine the two-dimensional ordering of a stripe forming system of particles with competing long-range repulsion and short-range attraction in the presence of a quasi-one-dimensional corrugated substrate. As a function of…

The (constrained) minimization of a ratio of set functions is a problem frequently occurring in clustering and community detection. As these optimization problems are typically NP-hard, one uses convex or spectral relaxations in practice.…

We propose a model for the physics of stripes in antiferromagnets in which the stripes are described by Luttinger liquids hybridized with antiferromagnetic domains. Using bosonization techniques we study the model in the limit where the…

The goal of this paper is to establish a monotonicity formula for perimeter minimizing sets in RCD(0,N) metric measure cones, together with the associated rigidity statement. The applications include sharp Hausdorff dimension estimates for…

In this document we achieve exact and asymptotic enumeration of words, compositions over a finite group, and/or integer compositions characterized by local restrictions and, separately, subsequence pattern avoidance. We also count…
