We study a stochastic optimal control problem with the state constrained to a smooth, compact domain. The control influences both the drift and a possibly degenerate, control-dependent dispersion matrix, leading to a fully nonlinear,…

We consider the problem of minimising an inhomogeneous anisotropic elliptic functional in a class of closed $m$ dimensional subsets of $\mathbf{R}^n$ which is stable under taking smooth deformations homotopic to the identity and under local…

The real homology of a compact, n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm of a homology class is the minimal Riemannian volume of its representatives. If M is orientable the stable norm…

We prove that flat ground state solutions ($i.e.$ minimizing the energy and with gradient vanishing on the boundary of the domain) of the Dirichlet problem associated to some semilinear autonomous elliptic equations with a strong absorption…

We study semilinear elliptic equations \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = f(u) & \text{in } \Omega, \\ \partial_\nu u = 0 & \text{on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in…

We provide a complete classification with respect to asymptotic behaviour, stability and intersections properties of radial smooth solutions to the equation $-\Delta_g u=e^u$ on Riemannian model manifolds $(M,g)$ in dimension $N\ge 2$. Our…

We show that a necessary and sufficient condition for a smooth function on the tangent bundle of a manifold to be a Lagrangian density whose action can be minimized is, roughly speaking, that it be the sum of a constant, a nonnegative…

We prove a local minimizing property for strictly stable free-boundary minimal hypersurfaces in the relative current setting. Let $\Sigma^n$ be a compact, two-sided, properly embedded free-boundary minimal hypersurface in a compact…

Let ($M$, $\Omega$) be a smooth symplectic manifold and $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a symplectic diffeomorphism of class $C^l$ ($l\geq 3$). Let $N$ be a compact submanifold of $M$ which is boundaryless and normally hyperbolic for $f$. We suppose…

We introduce a notion of approximate viscosity solution for a class of nonlinear path-dependent PDEs (PPDEs), including the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type equations. Existence, comparaison and stability results are established under fairly…

We investigate regularizations of distributional sections of vector bundles by means of nets of smooth sections that preserve the main regularity properties of the original distributions (singular support, wavefront set, Sobolev…

We investigate existence and nonexistence of stationary stable nonconstant solutions, i.e. patterns, of semilinear parabolic problems in bounded domains of Riemannian manifolds satisfying Robin boundary conditions. These problems arise in…

We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic maps of optimal regularity from an arbitrary closed manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n>2$ to any closed, non-aspherical manifold $N$ containing no stable minimal two-spheres. In particular,…

We construct a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$ (arbitrarily close to the euclidean one) and a smooth simple closed curve $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^4$ such that the unique area minimizing surface spanned by $\Gamma$ has infinite…

The study of stable minimal surfaces in Riemannian $3$-manifolds $(M, g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature has a rich history. In this paper, we prove rigidity of such surfaces when $(M, g)$ is asymptotically flat and has horizon…

We show that Busemann functions on a smooth, non-compact, complete, boundaryless, connected Riemannian manifold are viscosity solutions with respect to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation determined by the Riemannian metric and consequently they…

In this note, we demonstrate that a locally semiconvex viscosity supersolution to a possibly degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is differentiable along the directions spanned by the range of the…

In optimal control problems defined on stratified domains, the dynamics and the running cost may have discontinuities on a finite union of submanifolds of RN. In [8, 5], the corresponding value function is characterized as the unique…

In this manuscript we consider a class optimal control problem for stochastic differential delay equations. First, we rewrite the problem in a suitable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Then, using the dynamic programming approach, we…

We study a non-local optimal control problem involving a linear, bond-based peridynamics model. In addition to existence and uniqueness of solutions to our problem, we investigate their behavior as the horizon parameter $\delta$, which…
