Radial symmetry of minimizers to the weighted Dirichlet energy
2020
AbstractWe consider the problem of minimizing the weighted Dirichlet energy between homeomorphisms of planar annuli. A known challenge lies in the case when the weight λ depends on the independent variable z. We prove that for an increasing radial weight λ(z) the infimal energy within the class of all Sobolev homeomorphisms is the same as in the class of radially symmetric maps. For a general radial weight λ(z) we establish the same result in the case when the target is conformally thin compared to the domain. Fixing the admissible homeomorphisms on the outer boundary we establish the radial symmetry for every such weight.
Regular subclasses in the Sobolev space
2009
Abstract We study some slight modifications of the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) introduced in [D. Bongiorno, Absolutely continuous functions in R n , J. Math. Anal. and Appl. 303 (2005) 119–134]. In particular we prove that the classes α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 , introduced in [C. Di Bari, C. Vetro, A remark on absolutely continuous functions in R n , Rend. Circ. Matem. Palermo 55 (2006) 296–304] are independent by λ and contain properly the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) . Moreover we prove that α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) = ( α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) ) ∩ ( α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) ) , where α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) is the symmetric class of α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 .
The best constant for the Sobolev trace embedding from into
2004
Abstract In this paper we study the best constant, λ 1 ( Ω ) for the trace map from W 1 , 1 ( Ω ) into L 1 ( ∂ Ω ) . We show that this constant is attained in BV ( Ω ) when λ 1 ( Ω ) 1 . Moreover, we prove that this constant can be obtained as limit when p ↘ 1 of the best constant of W 1 , p ( Ω ) ↪ L p ( ∂ Ω ) . To perform the proofs we will look at Neumann problems involving the 1-Laplacian, Δ 1 ( u ) = div ( Du / | Du | ) .
${\cal H}^1$ -estimates of Jacobians by subdeterminants
2002
Let $f:\Omega \rightarrow{\Bbb R}^n$ be a mapping in the Sobolev space $W^{1,n-1}_{loc}(\Omega,{\Bbb R}^n), n\geq 2$ . We assume that the cofactors of the differential matrix Df(x) belong to $L^\frac{n}{n-1}(\Omega)$ . Then, among other things, we prove that the Jacobian determinant detDf lies in the Hardy space ${\cal H}^1(\Omega)$ .
Symmetry breaking in a constrained cheeger type isoperimetric inequality
2015
We study the optimal constant in a Sobolev inequality for BV functions with zero mean value and vanishing outside a bounded open set. We are interested in finding the best possible embedding constant in terms of the measure of the domain alone. We set up an optimal shape problem and we completely characterize the behavior of optimal domains.
Characterization of ellipsoids through an overdetermined boundary value problem of Monge–Ampère type
2014
Abstract The study of the optimal constant in an Hessian-type Sobolev inequality leads to a fully nonlinear boundary value problem, overdetermined with non-standard boundary conditions. We show that all the solutions have ellipsoidal symmetry. In the proof we use the maximum principle applied to a suitable auxiliary function in conjunction with an entropy estimate from affine curvature flow.
Limits of Sobolev homeomorphisms
2017
Let X; Y subset of R-2 be topologically equivalent bounded Lipschitz domains. We prove that weak and strong limits of homeomorphisms h: X (onto)-> Y in the Sobolev space W-1,W-p (X, R-2), p >= 2; are the same. As an application, we establish the existence of 2D-traction free minimal deformations for fairly general energy integrals. Peer reviewed
Elliptic problems with convection terms in Orlicz spaces
2021
Abstract The existence of a solution to a Dirichlet problem, for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations, with a convection term, is established. The main novelties of the paper stand on general growth conditions on the gradient variable, and on minimal assumptions on Ω. The approach is based on the method of sub and supersolutions. The solution is a zero of an auxiliary pseudomonotone operator build via truncation techniques. We present also some examples in which we highlight the generality of our growth conditions.
Multiple solutions for parametric double phase Dirichlet problems
2020
We consider a parametric double phase Dirichlet problem. Using variational tools together with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we show that for all parametric values [Formula: see text] the problem has at least three nontrivial solutions, two of which have constant sign. Also, we identify the critical parameter [Formula: see text] precisely in terms of the spectrum of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian.
Three solutions to mixed boundary value problem driven by p(z)-Laplace operator
2021
We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions to a mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for equations driven by the p(z)-Laplace operator in the principal part. Our approach is variational and use three critical points theorems.
