In this paper we prove uniform convergence of approximations to $p$-harmonic functions by using natural $p$-mean operators on bounded domains of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ which satisfy an intrinsic exterior corkscrew condition. These domains include Euclidean $C^{1,1}$ domains.
We study the mean value properties of $\mathbf{p}$-harmonic functions on the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$, in connection to the dynamic programming principles of certain stochastic processes. We implement the approach of Peres-Scheffield to provide the game-theoretical interpretation of the sub-elliptic $\mathbf{p}$-Laplacian; and of Manfredi-Parviainen-Rossi to characterize its viscosity solutions via the asymptotic mean value expansions.
We present a proof of the $C^1$ regularity of $p$-orthotropic functions in the plane for $1<p<2$, based on the monotonicity of the derivatives. Moreover we achieve an explicit logarithmic modulus of continuity.
We present a simple proof of the $C^1$ regularity of $p$-anisotropic functions in the plane for $2\leq p<\infty$. We achieve a logarithmic modulus of continuity for the derivatives. The monotonicity (in the sense of Lebesgue) of the derivatives is used. The case with two exponents is also included.
We present a proof of the local Hölder regularity of the horizontal derivatives of weak solutions to the $p$-Laplace equation in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ for $p>4 $.
We study the effective elastic behaviour of the incompatibly prestrained thin plates, characterized by a Riemann metric $G$ on the reference configuration. We assume that the prestrain is "weak", i.e. it induces scaling of the incompatible elastic energy $E^h$ of order less than $h^2$ in terms of the plate's thickness $h$. We essentially prove two results. First, we establish the $Γ$-limit of the scaled energies $h^{-4}E^h$ and show that it consists of a von Kármán-like energy, given in terms of the first order infinitesimal isometries and of the admissible strains on the surface isometrically immersing $G_{2\times 2}$ (i.e. the prestrain metric on the midplate) in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Second, we prove that in the scaling regime $E^h\sim h^β$ with $β>2$, there is no other limiting theory: if $\inf h^{-2} E^h \to 0$ then $\inf E^h\leq Ch^4$, and if $\inf h^{-4}E^h\to 0$ then $G$ is realizable and hence $\min E^h = 0$ for every $h$.
