IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

This doctoral thesis is devoted to the analysis of some minimization problems that involve nonlocal functionals. We are mainly concerned with the s-fractional perimeter and its minimizers, the s-minimal sets. We investigate the behavior of sets having (locally) finite fractional perimeter and we establish existence and compactness results for (locally) s-minimal sets. We study the s-minimal sets in highly nonlocal regimes, that correspond to small values of the fractional parameter s. We introduce a functional framework for studying those s-minimal sets that can be globally written as subgraphs. In particular, we prove existence and uniqueness results for minimizers of a fractional version of the classical area functional and we show the equivalence between minimizers and various notions of solution of the fractional mean curvature equation. We also prove a flatness result for entire nonlocal minimal graphs having some partial derivatives bounded from either above or below. Moreover, we consider a free boundary problem, which consists in the minimization of a functional defined as the sum of a nonlocal energy, plus the classical perimeter. Concerning this problem, we prove uniform energy estimates and we study the blow-up sequence of a minimizer---in particular establishing a Weiss-type monotonicity formula.
