Minimality via second variation for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem

E Acerbi, N Fusco, M Morini - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2013 - Springer
We discuss the local minimality of certain configurations for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem
used to model microphase separation in diblock copolymer melts. We show that critical …

On an isoperimetric problem with a competing nonlocal term I: The planar case

H Knüpfer, CB Muratov - Communications on Pure and Applied …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
This paper is concerned with a study of the classical isoperimetric problem modified by an
addition of a nonlocal repulsive term. We characterize existence, nonexistence, and radial …

Cascade of minimizers for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem in thin domains

M Morini, P Sternberg - SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2014 - SIAM
For \Omega_ε=(0,ε)*(0,1) a thin rectangle, we consider minimization of the two-dimensional
nonlocal isoperimetric problem given by \inf_uE^γ_\Omega_ε(u), where …

On the ternary Ohta–Kawasaki free energy and its one-dimensional global minimizers

Z Xu, Q Du - Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2022 - Springer
We study the ternary Ohta–Kawasaki free energy that has been used to model triblock
copolymer systems. Its one-dimensional global minimizers are conjectured to have cyclic …

A double bubble assembly as a new phase of a ternary inhibitory system

X Ren, J Wei - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2015 - Springer
A ternary inhibitory system is a three component system characterized by two properties:
growth and inhibition. A deviation from homogeneity has a strong positive feedback on its …

On an isoperimetric problem with a competing non-local term: quantitative results

CB Muratov, A Zaleski - Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2015 - Springer
This paper provides a quantitative version of the recent result of Knüpfer and Muratov
(Commun Pure Appl Math 66: 1129–1162, 2013) concerning the solutions of an extension of …

An isoperimetric problem with Coulomb repulsion and attraction to a background nucleus

J Lu, F Otto - arXiv preprint arXiv:1508.07172, 2015 - arxiv.org
We study an isoperimetric problem the energy of which contains the perimeter of a set,
Coulomb repulsion of the set with itself, and attraction of the set to a background nucleus as …

On a Quaternary Non-Local Isoperimetric Problem

S Alama, L Bronsard, X Lu, C Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.12504, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study a two-dimensional quaternary inhibitory system. This free energy functional
combines an interface energy favoring micro-domain growth with a Coulomb-type long …

On periodic critical points and local minimizers of the Ohta–Kawasaki functional

R Cristoferi - Nonlinear Analysis, 2018 - Elsevier
In this paper we collect some new observations about periodic critical points and local
minimizers of a nonlocal isoperimetric problem arising in the modeling of diblock …

Remark on a nonlocal isoperimetric problem

V Julin - Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications, 2017 - Elsevier
We consider isoperimetric problem with a nonlocal repulsive term given by the Newtonian
potential. We prove that regular critical sets of the functional are analytic. This optimal …
