We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(Omega)}^2 +int_Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $Omegasubsetmathbb R^N$. More precisely, we are interested on the global (up to the boundary) regularity of solutions, both in the case of free minimizers in $H^s(Omega)$ (i.e., Neumann problem), or in the case of Dirichlet condition $uin H^s_0(Omega)$ when $s>frac12$. Our main result establishes the sharp regularity of solutions in both cases: $uin C^{2s+alpha}(overlineOmega)$ in the Neumann case, and $u/delta^{2s-1}in C^{1+alpha}(overlineOmega)$ in the Dirichlet case. Here, $delta$ is the distance to $partialOmega$, and $alpha<alpha_s$, with $alpha_sin (0,1-s)$ and $2s+alpha_s>1$. We also show the optimality of our result: these estimates fail for $alpha>alpha_s$, even when $f$ and $partialOmega$ are $C^infty$.

Given a global 1-homogeneous minimizer $U_0$ to the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional, with $sing(F(U_0)) = {0}$, we provide a foliation of the half-space $R^{n} times [0,+infty)$ with dilations of graphs of global minimizers $underline U leq U_0 leq bar U$ with analytic free boundaries at distance 1 from the origin.
The variational problem for the functional $F=frac12|phi^*omega|_{L^2}^2$ is considered, where $phi:(M,g)to (N,omega)$ maps a Riemannian manifold to a symplectic manifold. This functional arises in theoretical physics as the strong coupling limit of the Faddeev-Hopf energy, and may be regarded as a symplectic analogue of the Dirichlet energy familiar from harmonic map theory. The Hopf fibration $pi:S^3to S^2$ is known to be a locally stable critical point of $F$. It is proved here that $pi$ in fact minimizes $F$ in its homotopy class and this result is extended to the case where $S^3$ is given the metric of the Bergers sphere. It is proved that if $phi^*omega$ is coclosed then $phi$ is a critical point of $F$ and minimizes $F$ in its homotopy class. If $M$ is a compact Riemann surface, it is proved that every critical point of $F$ has $phi^*omega$ coclosed. A family of holomorphic homogeneous projections into Hermitian symmetric spaces is constructed and it is proved that these too minimize $F$ in their homotopy class.
The repulsion strength at the origin for repulsive/attractive potentials determines the regularity of local minimizers of the interaction energy. In this paper, we show that if this repulsion is like Newtonian or more singular than Newtonian (but still locally integrable), then the local minimizers must be locally bounded densities (and even continuous for more singular than Newtonian repulsion). We prove this (and some other regularity results) by first showing that the potential function associated to a local minimizer solves an obstacle problem and then by using classical regularity results for such problems.
We establish sufficient conditions for a function on the torus to be equal to its Steiner symmetrization and apply the result to volume-constrained minimizers of the Cahn-Hilliard energy. We also show how two-point rearrangements can be used to establish symmetry for the Cahn-Hilliard model. In two dimensions, the Bonnesen inequality can then be applied to quantitatively estimate the sphericity of superlevel sets.
Energy minimizers to a MEMS model with an insulating layer are shown to converge in its reinforced limit to the minimizer of the limiting model as the thickness of the layer tends to zero. The proof relies on the identification of the $Gamma$-limit of the energy in this limit.
