Based on the concept of mixed LYZ ellipsoid and the technique of isotropic embedding, a sharp reverse affine isoperimetric inequality is established in this paper. This inequality is a generalization of a weak version of the Mahler conjecture obtained by Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang [31].

We study the generalized existence of extremizers for the sharp p-Sobolev inequality on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in connection with nonnegative curvature and Euclidean volume growth assumptions. Assuming a nonnegative Ricci curvature lower bound, we show that almost extremal functions are close in gradient norm to radial Euclidean bubbles. In the case of nonnegative sectional curvature lower bounds, we additionally deduce that vanishing is the only possible behavior, in the sense that almost extremal functions are almost zero globally. Our arguments rely on nonsmooth concentration compactness methods and Mosco-convergence results for the Cheeger energy on noncompact varying spaces, generalized to every exponent p ∈ (1, ∞).

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of nonlocal ordered curvature. In the classical (differential) setting, the problem was introduced by Li and Nirenberg in [1, 2] where they conjectured (and proved in some cases) that if a bounded smooth surface has its mean curvature ordered in a particular direction, then the surface must be symmetric with respect to some hyperplane orthogonal to that direction. The conjecture was finally settled by Li et al in 2021 [3]. Here we study the counterpart problem in the nonlocal setting, where the nonlocal mean curvature of a set Ω, at any point x on its boundary, is defined as and the kernel function J is radially symmetric, non-increasing, integrable and compactly supported. Using a generalization of Alexandrov’s moving plane method, we prove a similar result in the nonlocal setting.

We consider a class of nonlocal elliptic PDEs, of which one model case is the steady-state Kirchhoff-type equationwhere is the unit ball in , where n ≥ 2. Under the assumption that u satisfies Dirichlet boundary datum on , we demonstrate existence of at least one positive radially symmetric solution to the PDE by means of topological fixed point theory. Our results are valid both in the low-dimensional setting (n < p) and the high-dimensional setting (n ≥ p), though the techniques required differ between the two cases. The existence arguments utilise a specialised order cone.

In this paper, we consider the minimization problem of two dimensional lattice energyWe study this minimization problem under the classical Yukawa potential with α > 0, t > 1 and . We prove the existence of a critical value such that:
•
if then the minimizer corresponds to a hexagonal lattice configuration;
•
if then no minimizer exists.
This result provide the sharp bound βc for hexagonal lattice crystallization under Yukawa potential. Furthermore, we extend the analysis to two-component lattices, where each component is centered on the other, and obtain the same critical value βc. In this case, the minimizer transitions between a rhombic-square-rectangular configuration and a scenario where no minimizer exists.

We study global-in-time spherically symmetric solutions for a viscous, compressible, heat-conducting ionized gas in a n-dimensional unbounded exterior domain with large initial data, where n ≥ 2 is the space dimension. The properties of ionized gases, combined with the unboundedness of the exterior domain, make it challenging to estimate the first-order spatial derivatives of the bulk velocity and the absolute temperature. For a class of constant non-vacuum equilibrium states, we obtain the uniform-in-time bounds on the dissipative estimates for both the bulk velocity and the absolute temperature. Based on such estimates, we establish the global existence and asymptotic behavior of spherically symmetric solutions to the viscous and heat-conducting ionized gas in unbounded exterior domains with large initial data. The key point lies in deducing the lower and upper bounds on the specific volume and the temperature.

This work presents some results regarding three-dimensional billiards having a non-constant potential of Keplerian type inside a regular domain . Two models will be analysed: in the first one, only an inner Keplerian potential is present, and every time the particle encounters the boundary of is reflected back by keeping constant its tangential component to , while the normal one changes its sign. The second model is a refractive billiard, where the inner Keplerian potential is coupled with a harmonic outer one; in this case, the interaction with results in a generalised refraction Snell’s law. In both cases, the analysis of a particular type of straight equilibrium trajectories, called homothetic, is carried on, and their presence is linked to the topological chaoticity of the dynamics for large inner energies.

We study a defocusing quasilinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero conditions at infinity in dimension one. This quasilinear model corresponds to a weakly nonlocal approximation of the nonlocal Gross–Pitaevskii equation, and can also be derived by considering the effects of surface tension in superfluids. When the quasilinear term is neglected, the resulting equation is the classical Gross–Pitaevskii equation, which possesses a well-known stable branch of subsonic traveling waves solution, given by dark solitons.
Our goal is to investigate how the quasilinear term and the intensity-dependent dispersion affect the traveling-wave solutions. We provide a complete classification of finite energy traveling waves of the equation, in terms of two parameters: the speed and the strength of the quasilinear term. This classification leads to the existence of dark and antidark solitons, as well as more exotic localized solutions like dark cuspons, compactons, and composite waves, even for supersonic speeds. Depending on the parameters, these types of solutions can coexist, showing that finite energy solutions are not unique. Furthermore, we prove that some of these dark solitons can be obtained as minimizers of the energy, at fixed momentum, and that they are orbitally stable.

In this paper, we study a feedback optimal control problem for the stochastic nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes model in a two-dimensional bounded domain. The model consists of the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations for the velocity, coupled with a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard system for the order (phase) parameter. We prove the existence of an optimal feedback control for the stochastic nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system. Moreover using the Galerkin approximation, we show that the optimal cost can be approximated by a sequence of finite dimensional optimal costs.
