In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…

We establish a general principle which states that regularizing an inverse problem with a convex function yields solutions which are convex combinations of a small number of atoms. These atoms are identified with the extreme points and…

We introduce a new quantification of nonuniform ellipticity in variational problems via convex duality, and prove higher differentiability and $2d$-smoothness results for vector valued minimizers of possibly degenerate functionals. Our…

We consider the functional $\int_\Omega g(\nabla u+\textbf X^\ast)d\mathscr L^{2n}$ where $g$ is convex and $\textbf X^\ast(x,y)=2(-y,x)$ and we study the minimizers in $BV(\Omega)$ of the associated Dirichlet problem. We prove that, under…

We prove existence of radially symmetric solutions and validity of Euler-Lagrange necessary conditions for a class of variational problems such that neither direct methods nor indirect methods of Calculus of Variations apply. We obtain…

We consider nonconstant periodic constrained minimizers of semilinear elliptic equations for integro-differential operators in $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that, after an appropriate translation, each of them is necessarily an even function which…

We study the problem of empirical minimization for variance-type functionals over functional classes. Sharp non-asymptotic bounds for the excess variance are derived under mild conditions. In particular, it is shown that under some…

We investigate a class of composite nonconvex functions, where the outer function is the sum of univariate extended-real-valued convex functions and the inner function is the limit of difference-of-convex functions. A notable feature of…

We revisit the problem of approximating minimizers of certain convex functionals subject to a convexity constraint by solutions of fourth order equations of Abreu type. This approximation problem was studied in previous works of…

In this work we consider higher dimensional thin domains with the property that both boundaries, bottom and top, present oscillations of weak type. We consider the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions and analyze the behavior…

We study a vectorial $L^\infty$-variational problem of second order, where the supremal functional depends on the vector function $u$ through a linear elliptic operator in divergence form. We prove existence and uniqueness of the minimiser…

In this work we address the question of the existence of nonradial domains inside a nonconvex cone for which a mixed boundary overdetermined problem admits a solution. Our approach is variational, and consists in proving the existence of…

An application of dimensional reduction results for gradient constrained problems is provided for 3D-2D dimension reduction for supremal functionals, in the case when the domain is convex.

This thesis pertains to the study of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations on "thin" structures. The first main objective is to establish the strong and weak low-dimensional counterparts of the parabolic Neumann problem. The…

We introduce the class of quasiconvex Lipschitz domains, which covers both $C^1$ and convex domains, to the study of boundary unique continuation for elliptic operators. In particular, we prove the upper bound of the size of nodal sets for…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

We consider eigenvalue problems for elliptic operators of arbitrary order $2m$ subject to Neumann boundary conditions on bounded domains of the Euclidean $N$-dimensional space. We study the dependence of the eigenvalues upon variations of…

We look for the minimizers of the functional $\jla{\la}(\oo)=\la|\oo|-P(\oo)$ among planar convex domains constrained to lie into a given ring. We prove that, according to the values of the parameter $\la$, the solutions are either a disc…

We prove the existence of sectors of minimal growth for general closed extensions of elliptic cone operators under natural ellipticity conditions. This is achieved by the construction of a suitable parametrix and reduction to the boundary.…

In this paper we prove a version of the Fountain Theorem for a class of nonsmooth functionals that are sum of a $C^1$ functional and a convex lower semicontinuous functional, and also a version of a theorem due to Heinz for this class of…
