computation of a particular subdifferential

Given a bounded $\Omega\subset R^d$, $N$ functions $F_1,\dots,F_N\in L^\infty(\Omega)$, and a positive integrable $\omega\in L^1_+(\Omega)$, define the following function from $R^N$ to $R$: $$ f(\alph …

Minimizing some $H^{-1}$ functional over (a subset of) probability densities in $R^d$

Let me consider the following subset of probability measures in $R^d$ $$ \mathcal{K}_M=\left\{0\leq u(x)\in L^1(R^d):\quad \int u(x)dx =1,\,\int|x|^2u(x)dx\leq M,\,\int u(x)|\log u(x)|dx\leq M\right\} …

An $L^1$ function but (really) no better?

Question: For a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d$, does there exist a function $u\in L^1(\Omega)$ such that $u\not\in L^\Phi(\Omega)$ for any Orlicz space $\Phi$? For the definitio …

A variant of the Laplace principle

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}\newcommand{\eps}{\varepsilon}$In $\R^d$ I am given a sequence of smooth functions $f_\eps(x)$ that converges uniformly to some $f(x)$, which is assumed to be a good rate fu …

Uniqueness of Kantorovich potentials?

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$Take $\Omega\subset \R^d$ bounded, convex, and smooth. Consider the optimal transport problem with cost $c(x,y)=\lvert x-y\rvert^2$, leading to the quadratic Wassersein dis …

monotone parabolic systems, convex variational structure and Legendre transform

The context: for my research I am currently looking at parabolic systems of the type $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t b(u)-\Delta u=0 \qquad & (t,x)\in \mathbb{R}^+\times\Omega\\ u=0 & x\in\Gam …

Weak convergence + convergence of the norm implies strong convergence in Orlicz spaces

It is known [1, proposition 3.32] and a classical trick in PDEs that, in any uniformly convex Banach space $X$, weak convergence $x_n\rightharpoonup x$ together with convergence of the norm $\|x_n\|_X …

relative entropy, Fisher information, and metric slope for non-convex domains

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$ If $\Omega\subset \R^d$ is a convex domain it is well-known that the relative entropy $$ \mathcal H(\rho)= \int_{\Omega}\rho\log\rho \ \mathrm{d}x \qquad \mbox{for }\rho …
