    Nonlocal phase transitions in homogeneous and periodic media : in honor of Professor Paul Rabinowitz, with great esteem and admiration
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Cozzi, Matteo; Dipierro, Serena; Valdinoci, Enrico
    We discuss some results related to a phase transition model in which the potential energy induced by a double-well function is balanced by a fractional elastic energy. In particular, we present asymptotic results (such as Gamma-convergence, energy bounds and density estimates for level sets), flatness and rigidity results, and the construction of planelike minimizers in periodic media.

    Chaotic orbits for systems of nonlocal equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Dipierro, Serena; Patrizi, Stefania; Valdinoci, Enrico
    We consider a system of nonlocal equations driven by a perturbed periodic potential. We construct multibump solutions that connect one integer point to another one in a prescribed way. In particular, heteroclinc, homoclinic and chaotic trajectories are constructed. This is the first attempt to consider a nonlocal version of this type of dynamical systems in a variational setting and the first result regarding symbolic dynamics in a fractional framework.
