Constrained minima for non local functionals
We consider variational problems involving nonlocal free energy functionals that arise from Gibbs measures with Kac potentials and are related to the characterization of the optimal (i.e., typical) shape of an interface under given constraints on the magnetization profile
Tunnelling in nonlocal evolution equations
We study "tunnelling" in a one-dimensional, nonlocal evolution equation by assigning a penalty functional to orbits which deviate from solutions of the evolution equation. We discuss the variational problem of computing the minimal penalty for orbits which connect two stable, stationary solutions
