Paolo Marcellini

Paolo Marcellini is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Florence. His research focuses on Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations, and Regularity Theory. He has organized numerous conferences, including events on Calculus of Variations and Nonlinear PDEs. His work often explores topics such as p,q-growth conditions, Lipschitz regularity, and applications of origami patterns to differential systems. He has collaborated extensively with researchers like G. Cupini, E. Mascolo, and B. Dacorogna.

Marcellini’s research emphasizes the interplay between theoretical analysis and applied problems, particularly in elliptic systems and implicit differential equations. His contributions include foundational studies on lower semicontinuity of integrals and the regularity of minimizers under various growth conditions. Notable works include investigations into fractal solutions and the mathematical foundations of origami patterns.

He has been a consistent speaker and organizer in academic events, reflecting his active role in the mathematical community. His publications span reputable journals such as Nonlinear Analysis, Advances in Calculus of Variations, and Journal of Functional Analysis.
