Uniform partial regularity of quasi minimizers for the perimeter

Quasi minimizers for the perimeter are measurable subsets G of such that for all variations of G with and for a given increasing function such that . We prove here that, given , G a reduced quasi minimizer, and , there are , with , and , homeomorphic to a closed ball with radius t in , such that for some absolute constant . The constant above depends only on n, and . If moreover for some , we prove that we can find such a ball such that is a dimensional graph of class . This will be obtained proving that a quasi minimizer is equivalent to some set which satisfies the condition B. This condition gives some kind of uniform control on the flatness of the boundary and then criterions proven by Ambrosio-Paolini and Tamanini can be applied to get the required regularity properties.

Asymptotic analysis for the radial minimizer of a second-order energy functional

The convergence for the radial minimizers of a second-order energy functional, when the parameter tends to 0 is studied. And the location of the zeros of the radial minimizers of this functional is presented. Based on this result, the uniqueness of the radial minimizer is discussed.     

The method of p-harmonic approximation and optimal interior partial regularity for energy minimizing p-harmonic maps under the controllable growth condition

In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity for the weak solutions of energy minimizing p-harmonic maps under the controllable growth condition. We get the interior partial regularity by the p-harmonic approximation method together with the technique used to get the decay estimation on some Degenerate elliptic equations and the obstacle problem by Tan and Yan. In particular, we directly get the optimal regularity.     

The Harnack inequality for second-order parabolic equations with divergence-free drifts of low regularity

We establish the Harnack inequality for advection-diffusion equations with divergence-free drifts by adapting the classical Moser technique to parabolic equations with drifts with regularity lower than the scale invariant spaces.     

The method of A-harmonic approximation and optimal interior partial regularity for nonlinear elliptic systems under the controllable growth condition

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear elliptic systems under controllable growth condition. We use a new method introduced by Duzaar and Grotowski, for proving partial regularity for weak solutions, based on a generalization of the technique of harmonic approximation. We extend previous partial regularity results under the natural growth condition to the case of the controllable growth condition, and directly establishing the optimal Hölder exponent for the derivative of a weak solution.     

A condition on the value function both necessary and sufficient for full regularity of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems

We study two-point Lagrange problems for integrands :

 

Under very weak regularity hypotheses [ is Hölder continuous and locally elliptic on each compact subset of ] we obtain, when is of superlinear growth in , a characterization of problems in which the minimizers of (P) are -regular for all boundary data. This characterization involves the behavior of the value function : defined by . Namely, all minimizers for (P) are -regular in neighborhoods of and if and only if is Lipschitz continuous at . Consequently problems (P) possessing no singular minimizers are characterized in cases where not even a weak form of the Euler-Lagrange equations is available for guidance. Full regularity results for problems where is nearly autonomous, nearly independent of , or jointly convex in are presented.

     

An optimal replenishment policy for deteriorating items with time-varying demand and partial backlogging

Recently, Papachristos and Skouri developed an inventory model in which unsatisfied demand is partially backlogged at a negative exponential rate with the waiting time. In this article, we complement the shortcoming of their model by adding not only the cost of lost sales but also the non-constant purchase cost.     

Convergence of the multigrid -cycle algorithm for second-order boundary value problems without full elliptic regularity

The multigrid -cycle algorithm using the Richardson relaxation scheme as the smoother is studied in this paper. For second-order elliptic boundary value problems, the contraction number of the -cycle algorithm is shown to improve uniformly with the increase of the number of smoothing steps, without assuming full elliptic regularity. As a consequence, the -cycle convergence result of Braess and Hackbusch is generalized to problems without full elliptic regularity.

     

Existence and regularity of solutions for some partial functional integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces

In this work, we study the existence and regularity of solutions for some partial functional integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces. We suppose that the undelayed part admits a resolvent operator in the sense given by Grimmer in [R. Grimmer, Resolvent operators for integral equations in a Banach space, Transaction of American Mathematical Society 273 (1982) 333–349]. The delayed part is assumed to be locally Lipschitz. Firstly, we show the existence of the mild solutions. Secondly, we give sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of the strict solutions.     

A partial regularity result for an anisotropic smoothing functional for image restoration in BV space

Here we examine the partial regularity of minimizers of a functional used for image restoration in BV space. This functional is a combination of a regularized p-Laplacian for the part of the image with small gradient and a total variation functional for the part with large gradient. This model was originally introduced in Chambolle and Lions using the Laplacian. Due to the singular nature of the p-Laplacian we study a regularized p-Laplacian. We show that where the gradient is small, the regularized p-Laplacian smooths the image u, in the sense that u∈C1,α for some 0<α<1. This functional thus anisotropically smooths the image where the gradient is small and preserves edges via total variation where the gradient is large.     

A regularity result for polyharmonic maps with higher integrability

We prove a regularity result for critical points of the polyharmonic energy in with and p > 1. Our proof is based on a Gagliardo–Nirenberg-type estimate and avoids the moving frame technique. In view of the monotonicity formulae for stationary harmonic and biharmonic maps, we infer partial regularity in theses cases.     

Local partial regularity theorems for suitable weak solutions of a class of degenerate systems

A partial regularity theorem is established for a particular class of weak solutions to the systemu/t– div(K(u)u)=(u)¦¦², div((u))=0 on a bounded domain inR ^N . Under our assumptions, (u) may exhibit exponential decay, and thus the system may be degenerate. Our proof is based upon a blow-up argument.This work was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS9424448.     

Remarks on partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the tri-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations. With the help of the De Giorgi iteration method, we obtain the results proved by He and Xin (C. He, Z. Xin, Partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations, J. Funct. Anal. 227 (2005) 113–152), namely, the one dimensional parabolic Hausdorff measure of the possible singular points of the velocity field and the magnetic field is zero.
