Scaling Limit of the Kuramoto Model on Random Geometric Graphs

We consider the Kuramoto model on a graph with nodes given by $n$ i.i.d. points uniformly distributed on the $d$ dimensional torus. Two nodes are declared neighbors if they are at distance less than $ε$. We prove a scaling limit for this model in compact time intervals as $n\to\infty$ and $ε\to 0$ such that $ε^{d+2}n/\log n \to \infty$. The limiting object is given by the heat equation. On the one hand this shows that the nonlinearity given by the sine function disappears under this scaling and on the other hand, provides evidence that stable equilibria of the Kuramoto model on these graphs are, as $n\to\infty$, in correspondence with those of the heat equation, which are explicit and given by twisted states. In view of this, we conjecture the existence of twisted stable equilibria with high probability as $n\to \infty$.

Lipschitz regularity of almost minimizers in a Bernoulli problem with non-standard growth

In this work we establish the optimal Lipschitz regularity for non-negative almost minimizers of the one-phase Bernoulli-type functional $$ \mathcal{J}_{\mathrm{G}}(u,Ω) := \int_Ω\left(\mathrm{G}(|\nabla u|)+χ_{\{u>0\}}\right)\,dx $$ where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded domain and $\mathrm{G}: [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty) $ is a Young function with $\mathrm{G}^{\prime}=g$ satisfying the Lieberman's classical conditions. Moreover, of independent mathematical interest, we also address a Höder regularity characterization via Campanato-type estimates in the context of Orlicz modulars, which is new for such a class of non-standard growth functionals.

Fractional eigenvalues in Orlicz spaces with no $Δ_2$ condition

We study the eigenvalue problem for the $g-$Laplacian operator in fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, where $g=G'$ and neither $G$ nor its conjugated function satisfy the $Δ_2$ condition. Our main result is the existence of a nontrivial solution to such a problem; this is achieved by first showing that the corresponding minimization problem has a solution and then applying a generalized Lagrange multiplier theorem to get the existence of an eigenvalue. Further, we prove closedness of the spectrum and some properties of the eigenvalues and, as an application, we show existence for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems.

Maximum principles, Liouville theorem and symmetry results for the fractional $g-$Laplacian

We study different maximum principles for non-local non-linear operators with non-standard growth that arise naturally in the context of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and whose most notable representative is the fractional $g-$Laplacian: \[ (-Δ_g)^su(x):=\textrm{p.v.}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}g\left(\frac{u(x)-u(y)}{|x-y|^s}\right)\frac{dy}{|x-y|^{n+s}}, \] being $g$ the derivative of a Young function. We further derive qualitative properties of solutions such as a Liouville type theorem and symmetry results and present several possible extensions and some interesting open questions. These are the first results of this type proved in this setting.

Sharp regularity for degenerate obstacle type problems: a geometric approach

We prove sharp regularity estimates for solutions of obstacle type problems driven by a class of degenerate fully nonlinear operators; more specifically, we consider viscosity solutions of \[ |D u|^γF(x, D^2u) = f(x)χ_{\{u>ϕ\}} \textrm{ in } B_1 \] with $γ>0$, $ϕ\in C^{1, α}(B_1)$ for some $α\in(0,1]$ and $f\in L^\infty(B_1)$ constrained to satisfy \[ u\geq ϕ\textrm{ in } B_1 \] and prove that they are $C^{1,β}(B_{1/2})$ (and in particular along free boundary points) where $β=\min\left\{α, \frac{1}{γ+1}\right\}$. Moreover, we achieve such a feature by using a recently developed geometric approach which is a novelty for these kind of free boundary problems. Further, under a natural non-degeneracy assumption on the obstacle, we prove that the free boundary $\partial\{u>ϕ\}$ has zero Lebesgue measure. Our results are new even for seemingly simple model as follows \[ |Du|^γΔu=χ_{\{u>ϕ\}} \quad \text{with}\quad γ>0. \]

The obstacle problem for a class of degenerate fully nonlinear operators

We study the obstacle problem for fully nonlinear elliptic operators with an anisotropic degeneracy on the gradient: \[ \min \left\{f-|Du|^γF(D^2u),u-ϕ\right\} = 0 \quad\textrm{ in }\quad Ω. \] We obtain existence of solutions and prove sharp regularity estimates along the free boundary points, namely $\partial\{u>ϕ\} \cap Ω$. In particular, for the homogeneous case ($f\equiv0$) we get that solutions are $C^{1,1}$ at free boundary points, in the sense that they detach from the obstacle in a quadratic fashion, thus beating the optimal regularity allowed for such degenerate operators. We also present further features of the solutions and partial results regarding the free boundary. These are the first results for obstacle problems driven by degenerate type operators in non-divergence form and they are a novelty even for the simpler scenario given by an operator of the form $\mathcal{G}[u] = |Du|^γΔu$.

$C^{2s}$ regularity for fully nonlinear nonlocal equations with bounded right hand side

We establish sharp $C^{2s}$ interior regularity estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear nonlocal equations with bounded right hand side. More precisely, we show that if $I$ is a fully nonlinear nonlocal concave or convex elliptic operator and $f\in L^\infty(B_1)$ then \[ Iu=f\quad\textrm{ in }\quad B_1 \quad \Rightarrow\quad u\in C^{2s}(B_{1/2}). \] This result generalizes the linear counterpart proved by Ros-Oton and Serra and extends previous available results for fully nonlinear nonlocal operators. As an application, we get a basic regularity estimate for the nonlocal two membranes problem.
