We prove some interpolation inequalities which arise in the analysis of pattern formation in physics. They are the strong version of some already known estimates in weak form that are used to give a lower bound of the energy in many contexts (coarsening and branching in micromagnetics and superconductors). The main ingredient in the proof of our inequalities is a geometric construction which was first used by Choksi, Conti, Kohn, and one of the authors in the study of branching in…

Sobolev-Kantorovich Inequalities
Abstract In a recent work, E. Cinti and F. Otto established some new interpolation inequalities in the study of pattern formation, bounding the Lr(μ)-norm of a probability density with respect to the
A branched transport limit of the Ginzburg-Landau functional
• Physics, Mathematics

We study the Ginzburg-Landau model of type-I superconductors in the regime of small external magnetic fields. We show that, in an appropriate asymptotic regime, flux patterns are described by a

We consider a variational model for a charge density $u\in\{-1,1\}$ on a (hyper)plane, with a short-range attraction coming from the interfacial energy and a long-range repulsion coming from the
Kantorovich inequalities under CD ( 0 , ∞ ) condition
We refine and generalize several interpolation inequalities bounding the L norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure μ by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich distance to μ

One of the hallmarks of mathematics is its universality. The same mathematical concepts and methods can be fundamental for the understanding of very different phenomena in nature, technology,
Convergence rate for the incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion-advection equations
• Mathematics
• 2021
The incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion equations of porous medium type has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, due to its ability to link the weak formulation of cell-population

Relations between Sobolev and Kantorovich norms on manifolds
• Mathematics
• 2016
We prove several multiplicative inequalities relating the Kantorovich norm with the Sobolev norm for functions on a Riemannian manifold satisfying certain curvature conditions.
On a Kantorovich-Rubinstein inequality
An easy consequence of Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality is the following: if $f:[0,1]^d \rightarrow \infty$ is Lipschitz and $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_N \right\} \subset [0,1]^d$, then  \left|

We refine and generalize several interpolation inequalities bounding the $L^p$ norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure $\mu$ by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich

In this article we analyze the ground state energy of a ferromagnetic bulk sample with strong uniaxial anisotropy in a regime featuring domain branching. We derive the convergence of the

• Computer Science, Mathematics

This paper establishes rigorously an upper bound on the coarsening rate in a time-averaged sense using the fact that the evolution is a gradient flow, i.e., a steepest descent in an energy landscape.

It is proved rigorously that coarsening cannot proceed faster than $\ell\sim t$ and the analysis follows closely a method proposed in [R. Kohn and F. Otto], which is based on the gradient flow structure of the evolution.
