We prove some regularity results for a connected set S in the planar domain O, which minimizes the compliance of its complement O\S, plus its length. This problem, interpreted as to find the best location for attaching a membrane subject to…

An asymptotic expansion is performed to obtain quasi-axisymmetric magnetic configurations that are weakly non-axisymmetric. A large space of solutions is identified, which satisfy the condition of quasi-axisymmetry on a single magnetic flux…

We consider global efficiency of algorithms for minimizing a sum of a convex function and a composition of a Lipschitz convex function with a smooth map. The basic algorithm we rely on is the prox-linear method, which in each iteration…

In any dimension $N \geq 1$, for given mass $m > 0$ and for the $C^1$ energy functional \begin{equation*} I(u):=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(u)dx, \end{equation*} we revisit the classical problem of…

Let $k$ be \emph{any} algebraically closed field in any characteristic, let $R$ be any regular local ring such that $R$ contains $k$ as a subring, the residue field of $R$ is isomorphic to $k$ as $k$-algebras and $\dim R\geq 1$, let $P$ be…

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 consider the minimization of integral functionals in one dimension and their approximation by $r$-adaptive finite elements. Including the grid of the FEM approximation as a variable in the minimization, we are able to show that the…

Consider a compact $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $r > 0$. A maximal distance minimizer problem is to find a connected compact set $\Sigma$ of the minimal length, such that \[ \max_{y \in M} dist (y, \Sigma) \leq r. \] The inverse problem is…

We characterize the relaxation of the perimeter in an infinite dimensional Wiener space, with respect to the weak L^2-topology. We also show that the rescaled Allen-Cahn functionals approximate this relaxed functional in the sense of…

We consider a convex minimization problem for which the objective is the sum of a homogeneous polynomial of degree four and a linear term. Such task arises as a subproblem in algorithms for quadratic inverse problems with a…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…

Given a smooth, symmetric, homogeneous of degree one function $f\left(\lambda_{1},\cdots,\,\lambda_{n}\right)$ satisfying $\partial_{i}f>0$ for all $i=1,\cdots,\,n$, and a rotationally symmetric cone $\mathcal{C}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we…

When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group $\Gamma$ is reduced modulo an odd prime $p$, a finite representation in some orthogonal space over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is obtained. If $\Gamma$ has a string diagram, the latter…

We consider periodic homogenization of boundary value problems for second-order semilinear elliptic systems in 2D of the type $$ \partial_{x_i}\left(a_{ij}^{\alpha…

We study the small-hole minimization problem for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue in the square \[ Q=(-1,1)^2, \qquad \Lambda_r(x_1,x_2)=\lambda_1\Bigl(Q\setminus\bigl(\overline{B_r(x_1)}\cup \overline{B_r(x_2)}\bigr)\Bigr), \] where two…

We consider positive solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ on continuous epigraphs bounded from below. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove new monotonicity results for $u$, when…

The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional defined on the space of vector fields $H^1(S,T)$, where $S$ and $T$ are surfaces of revolution. The energy functional we consider is closely related…

We study global optimization of non-convex functions through optimal control theory. Our main result establishes that (quasi-)optimal trajectories of a discounted control problem converge globally and practically asymptotically to the set…

We devise variants of classical nonconforming methods for symmetric elliptic problems. These variants differ from the original ones only by transforming discrete test functions into conforming functions before applying the load functional.…

We study a boundary value problem associated with a system of two second order differential equations with cubic nonlinearity which model a film of superconductor material subjected to a tangential magnetic field. We show that for an…
