Lavrentiev Phenomenon
Does there exist a (onedimensional) integral functional of calculus of variations
$$
F(y)=\int_a^b f(t,y(t),y'(t))\,dt
$$
such that not only
$$
\inf_{y\in\operatorname{Lip}([a,b])}F(y)>\inf_{y\in ...

A Poincaré-like inequality
Is it true that for some real $K>0$ and all real $u\in C_0^\infty((0,1))$ we have
$$\int_0^1 (u'(x)^2+u(x)^2)\,dx\,\int_0^1 u(x)^2\,dx
\le K\Big(\int_0^1 x\,u'(x)^2\,dx\Big)^2\text{ ?}$$

How much "room" in inequality $\displaystyle \int_a^b \varphi' ov ~\mathrm{d}x \leq 0$
Let $[a, b]$ be a nonempty interval, $o \in C^1([a, b])$ be such that $o>0$ and $o'<0$ and assume we found some $v \in L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$ such that
\begin{equation}\tag{1}\label{1}
\int_a^b \...

How do I integrate this inequality that appears in a paper of Rabinowitz?
Sorry if this is too easy for MO, but I found it in a research paper, so I thought that it was worth posting here.
I was reading a paper by Rabinowitz(this one to be more precise) and I came across ...

Lavrentiev phenomenon between $C^1$ and Lipschitz
Does there exist a (onedimensional) integral functional of calculus of variations (with $f$ finite everywhere)
$$
F(y)=\int_a^b f(t,y(t),y'(t))\,dt
$$
such that
$$
\inf_{y\in Lip([a,b])}F(y)<\inf_{...

Lavrentiev phenomenon between $C^1$ and $C^2$
Does there exist a (onedimensional) functional that exhibits the Lavrentiev phenomenon between $C^1$ and $C^2$ that is
$$ F(y)=\int_a^b f(t,y(t),y'(t))\,dt \quad\text{or possibly}\quad F(y)=\int_a^b f(...

Prove/disprove $(\int_{0}^{2 \pi} \!\!\cos f(x) d x)^{2}+(\int_{0}^{2 \pi}\!\!\! \sqrt{(f'(x))^{2}+\sin ^{2} f(x)}dx)^{2}\ge 4\pi^{2}$
This problem has been posted on Math.SE but didn't receive any correct answer after a long time.
Let $f(x)$ be a differentiable function on $[0,2\pi]$ s.t. $0\leq f(x)\leq 2\pi$ and $f(0)=f(2\pi)$. ...

The continuity of $L^2$ gradient on moving domain
I post this on MSE too. Sorry for this short cross posting. But I stuck in this problem for a while... I don't know what the right tool should be used to handle the moving domain problem...
Let $I:=(...

Variational Principle for a System of Differential Equations
I am studying a differential operator of the form $$ L\left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \end{array}\right) = -\Delta \left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \end{array}\right) + V(x)\left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \...
