Variational Problems for Functionals Involving the Value Distribution

چکیده
We study variational problems involving the measure of level sets, or more precisely the push-forward of the Lebegue measure. This problem generalizes variational problems with finitely many (discrete) volume constraints. We obtain existence results for this general framework. Moreover, we show the surprising existence of asymmetric solutions to symmetric variational problems with this type of volume constraints.

Infinitely Many Solutions for a Steklov Problem Involving the p(x)-Laplacian Operator
By using variational methods and critical point theory for smooth functionals defined on a reflexive Banach space, we establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a Steklov problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian depending on two parameters. We also give some corollaries and applicable examples to illustrate the obtained result../files/site1/files/42/4Abstract.pdf
متن کاملExistence of three solutions for a class of fractional boundary value systems
In this paper, under appropriate oscillating behaviours of the nonlinear term, we prove some multiplicity results for a class of nonlinear fractional equations. These problems have a variational structure and we find three solutions for them by exploiting an abstract result for smooth functionals defined on a reflexive Banach space. To make the nonlinear methods work, some careful analysis of t...
متن کاملA Gradient Descent Procedure for Variational Dynamic Surface Problems with Constraints
Many problems in image analysis and computer vision involving boundaries and regions can be cast in a variational formulation. This means that m-surfaces, e.g. curves and surfaces, are determined as minimizers of functionals using e.g. the variational level set method. In this paper we consider such variational problems with constraints given by functionals. We use the geometric interpretation ...
متن کاملA VARIATIONAL APPROACH TO THE EXISTENCE OF INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS
The existence of infinitely many solutions for an anisotropic discrete non-linear problem with variable exponent according to p(k)–Laplacian operator with Dirichlet boundary value condition, under appropriate behaviors of the non-linear term, is investigated. The technical approach is based on a local minimum theorem for differentiable functionals due to Ricceri. We point out a theorem as a spe...

We study variational problems for surfaces in Euclidean space for functionals involving curvatures. Particularly, we study both the classical Willmore surfaces and their anisotropic analogue.
