We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}+ \lambda \chi_{\{u>0\}} dx$ in the class of functions $W^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$ with $u-\phi_0\in W_0^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$, for a given $\phi_0\geq 0$ and…

We propose a minimal model of the dynamics of diversity -- replicator equations with extinction, invasion and mutation. We numerically study the behavior of this simple model and show that it displays completely different behavior from the…

The parabolic N-membranes problem for the p-Laplacian and the complete order constraint on the components of the solution is studied in what concerns the approximation, the regularity and the stability of the variational solutions. We…

We consider a Hamiltonian system of free boundary type, showing first uniform bounds and existence of solutions and of the free boundary. Then, for any smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions in a suitable…

In this paper we give a comprehensive treatment of a two-penalty boundary obstacle problem for a divergence form elliptic operator, motivated by applications to fluid dynamics and thermics. Specifically, we prove existence, uniqueness and…

The $p$-Laplacian evolution equation and the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow with a flat side are degenerate parabolic equations with evolving free boundaries. We give proofs of smooth short-time existence, up to the free boundaries, using a…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are population-based general-purpose optimization algorithms, and have been successfully applied in various real-world optimization tasks. However, previous theoretical studies often employ EAs with only a…

In this paper, we study the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the problem given by \begin{equation*} \label{1} \left\{\begin{split} \mathcal{L}u\: &= \lambda u^{q} + u^{p}, \quad u>0 ~~ \text{in} ~\Omega,…

We extend basic regularity of the free boundary of the obstacle problem to some classes of heterogeneous quasilinear elliptic operators with variable growth that includes, in particular, the $p(x)$-Laplacian. Under the assumption of…

We consider the equation $-\epsilon^{2}\Delta u + u = u^ {p}$ in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\R^{3}$ with edges. We impose Neumann boundary conditions, assuming $1<p<5$, and prove concentration of solutions at suitable points of…

In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of a well-known free boundary/shape optimization problem motivated by some issues arising in population dynamics. The question is to determine optimal spatial arrangements of favorable and…

The OneMax problem, alternatively known as the Hamming distance problem, is often referred to as the "drosophila of evolutionary computation (EC)", because of its high relevance in theoretical and empirical analyses of EC approaches. It is…

We study admissible observation operators for perturbed evolution equations using the concept of maximal regularity. We first show the invariance of the maximal $L^p$-regularity under non-autonomous Miyadera-Voigt perturbations. Second, we…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be a bounded connected open set. We consider the weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in $\Omega$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with homogeneous…

We study existence and uniqueness of solutions to a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem with a general, and possibly singular, lower order term, whose model is $$\begin{cases} -\Delta_p u = H(u)\mu & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u>0…

Constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs) pervade real-world applications in science, engineering, and design. Constraint violation has been a building block in designing evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms…

We consider the variational approach to prove the existence of solutions of second order stationary Mean Field Games on a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d}$, with Neumann boundary conditions, and with and without density…

We present a new method for proving lower bounds on the expected running time of evolutionary algorithms. It is based on fitness-level partitions and an additional condition on transition probabilities between fitness levels. The method is…

We establish near-optimal quantitative uniqueness of continuation for solutions of evolution equations vanishing on the lateral boundary. These results were obtained simply by combining existing observability inequalities and energy…

A general form of the Lions-Magenes theorems on solvability of an elliptic boundary-value problem in the spaces of nonregular distributions is proved. We find a general condition on the space of right-hand sides of the elliptic equation…
