An analytical theory for optimal controls on Riemannian manifolds
The problem of interpolation in a Riemannian manifold (M, g) discussed in [9] (using variational techniques on a suitable functional fra-mework) is here reviewed, stating the main existence results for minimizers and multiplicity and regularity results for critical points of the involved functional f
Gravitational collapse of homogeneous scalar fields
Conditions under which gravity coupled to self-interacting scalar fields determines singularity formation are found and discussed. It is shown that, under a suitable matching with an external space, the boundary, if it collapses completely, may give rise to a naked singularity. Issues related to the strength of the singularity are discussed
