Local and global minimizers for a variational energy involving a fractional norm (Q361930): Difference between revisions

The present paper is devoted to the minimizers of the following energy functional: \(\|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)dx\), where \(\|\cdot\|_{H^s(\Omega)}\) is the Gagliardo type norm, and \(W\) is a double-well potential. The main results of the paper are formulated in Theorems 1--3 in Section 1. These results state the existence, uniqueness and some geometric properties of the minimizers of the above given energy functional.
