In this short note we review results on equilibrium shapes of minimizers to the sessile drop problem. More precisely, we study the Winterbottom problem and prove that the Winterbottom shape is indeed optimal. The arguments presented here…
In this paper we consider the volume-constrained minimization of a variant of the Ohta-Kawasaki functional with an anisotropic surface energy replacing the standard perimeter. Following and suitably adapting the second variation approach…
We consider a scale invariant functional involving the anisotropic $p-$momentum, the anisotropic perimeter and the volume. We show that the Wulff shape, associated with the Finsler norm $F$ considered and centered at the origin, is the…
We obtain existence of minimizers for the $p$-capacity functional defined with respect to a centrally symmetric anisotropy for $1 < p<\infty$, including the case of a crystalline norm in $\mathbb R^N$. The result is obtained by a…
Local minimizers for the anisotropic isoperimetric problem in the small-volume regime on closed Riemannian manifolds are shown to be geodesically convex and small smooth perturbations of tangent Wulff shapes, quantitatively in terms of the…
We consider the minimization of an energy functional given by the sum of a crystalline perimeter and a nonlocal interaction of Riesz type, under volume constraint. We show that, in the small mass regime, if the Wulff shape of the…
In this paper, we show that any embedded capillary hypersurface in the half-space with anisotropic constant mean curvature is a truncated Wulff shape. This extends Wente's result \cite{Wente80} to the anisotropic case and He-Li-Ma-Ge's…
We study various regularity properties of minimizers of the $\Phi$--perimeter, where $\Phi$ is a norm. Under suitable assumptions on $\Phi$ and on the dimension of the ambient space, we prove that the boundary of a cartesian minimizer is…
The continuum model related to the Winterbottom problem, i.e., the problem of determining the equilibrium shape of crystalline drops resting on a substrate, is derived in dimension two by means of a rigorous discrete-to-continuum passage by…
We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
We consider the variational problem of minimizing an anisotropic perimeter functional under a volume constraint in a Euclidean convex domain. We extend to this setting analytical properties of the isoperimetric profile, topological features…
A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…
We consider a variant of Gamow's liquid drop model with an anisotropic surface energy. Under suitable regularity and ellipticity assumptions on the surface tension, Wulff shapes are minimizers in this problem if and only if the surface…
Since the pioneering work of Canham and Helfrich, variational formulations involving curvature-dependent functionals, like the classical Willmore functional, have proven useful for shape analysis of biomembranes. We address minimizers of…
Capillarity functionals are parameter invariant functionals defined on classes of two-dimensionals parametric surfaces in R3 as the sum of the area integral with an anisotropic term of suitable form. In the class of parametric surfaces with…
Closed hyperbolic manifolds are proven to minimize volume over all Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below by -1 in the same bilipschitz class. As a corollary compact convex cores with totally geodesic boundary are proven to minimize…
We introduce and study certain variants of Gamow's liquid drop model in which an anisotropic surface energy replaces the perimeter. After existence and nonexistence results are established, the shape of minimizers is analyzed. Under…
Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and…
We study the equilibrium shape of liquid drops minimizing the fractional perimeter under the action of a potential energy. We prove, with a quantitative estimate, that the small volume minimizers are convex and uniformly close to a ball.
In this paper we study an anisotropic variant of the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi functional with $L^1$ fidelity term of the form \[ E(u) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \phi(\nabla u) + \lambda \| u -f \|_{L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)}. \] We will characterize the…
