Author of several books of didactic and scientific
type in Mathematics, and of several scientific articles published in
specialized international journals. The main scientific interests are: elliptic
pde's, variational inequalities, inverse problems, convex analysis,
G-convergence Gamma-convergence and homogenization, eigenvalues of the
Laplacian, parabolic mean curvature equation, nonconvex problems of the
calculus of variations, semicontinuity of quasiconvex integrals (with
subcritical growth too), regularity under nonstandard growth conditions:
anisotropic functionals and pde equations, p,q-growth conditions, general
growth conditions; vector-valued variational problems without quasiconvexity
conditions, variational problems arising from optimal foraging, pde equations
and systems of implicit type, Jacobian determinants of singular maps. Recently
he found a variational formulation for solutions to parabolic equations and
systems which also implies existence of weak solutions under general
assumptions.
Member of the Editorial Board of some international
journals, among them Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications NONRWA and
Advances in Nonlinear Analysis.
