On the Sobolev trace Theorem for variable exponent spaces in the critical range

In this paper we study the Sobolev Trace Theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. Then we give local conditions on the exponents and on the domain (in the spirit of Adimurthy and Yadava) in order to satisfy such conditions, and therefore to ensure the existence of extremals.

Existence of solution to a critical trace equation with variable exponent

In this paper we study sufficient local conditions for the existence of non-trivial solution to a critical equation for the $p(x)-$Laplacian where the critical term is placed as a source through the boundary of the domain. The proof relies on a suitable generalization of the concentration--compactness principle for the trace embedding for variable exponent Sobolev spaces and the classical mountain pass theorem.

Eigenvalue homogenization for quasilinear elliptic operators

In this work we study the homogenization problem for (nonlinear) eigenvalues of quasilinear elliptic operators. We prove convergence of the first and second eigenvalues and, in the case where the operator is independent of $\varepsilon$, convergence of the full (variational) spectrum together whit an explicit in $k$ and in $\varepsilon$ order of convergence.

On the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces in the critical range

In this paper we study the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. The proof is based on a suitable refinement of the estimates in the Concentration--Compactness Theorem for variable exponents and an adaptation of a convexity argument due to P.L. Lions, F. Pacella and M. Tricarico.

Optimal boundary holes for the Sobolev trace constant

In this paper we study the problem of minimizing the Sobolev trace Rayleigh quotient $\|u\|_{W^{1,p}(Ω)}^p / \|u\|_{L^q(\partialΩ)}^p$ among functions that vanish in a set contained on the boundary $\partialΩ$ of given boundary measure. We prove existence of extremals for this problem, and analyze some particular cases where information about the location of the optimal boundary set can be given. Moreover, we further study the shape derivative of the Sobolev trace constant under regular perturbations of the boundary set.

An optimization problem with volume constrain for a degenerate quasilinear operator

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_Ω|\nabla u|^p dx$ with a constrain on the volume of $\{u>0\}$. We consider a penalization problem, and we prove that for small values of the penalization parameter, the constrained volume is attained. In this way we prove that every solution $u$ is locally Lipschitz continuous and that the free boundary, $\partial\{u>0\}\cap Ω$, is smooth.
