In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…

We study the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ellipsoids. For ellipsoids that are close to the sphere, we use analytic perturbation theory to estimate the eigenvalues up to two orders. We show that for biaxial ellipsoids…

G\"{o}del-type metrics that are homogeneous in both space and time remain, like the Schwarzschild metric, consistent within Chern-Simons modified gravity; this is true in both the non-dynamical and dynamical frameworks, each of which…

We present a perturbed subspace iteration algorithm to approximate the lowermost eigenvalue cluster of an elliptic eigenvalue problem. As a prototype, we consider the Laplace eigenvalue problem posed in a polygonal domain. The algorithm is…

Following a recent paper by N. Mandache (Inverse Problems 17 (2001), pp. 1435-1444), we establish a general procedure for determining the instability character of inverse problems. We apply this procedure to many elliptic inverse problems…

Decomposition of the free rigid body Hamiltonian into a "main problem" and a perturbation term provides an efficient integration scheme that avoids the use of elliptic functions and integrals. In the case of short-axis-mode rotation, it is…

We are concerned with the well-posedness of linear elliptic systems posed on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The concrete problem of interest, for which we require this theory, arises from the linearization of the equations of anisotropic finite…

We define an abstract nonlinear elliptic system, admitting a variational structure, and including the vortex equations for some Maxwell-Chern-Simons gauge theories as special cases. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of its solutions, and…

In this paper we study the linear stability of relative equilibria in the Newtonian $n$-body problem from the viewpoint of electromagnetic systems. We first examine the effect of the ambient dimension on stability, starting from the…

Based on Propostion 6 of his Principia, Newton's geometrical derivation in Propositions 10 and 11 for the radial dependence of the two central forces that lead to elliptical orbits is notoriously difficult. An alternate and more transparent…

We start by surveying the planar point vortex motion of the Euler equations in the whole plane, half-plane and quadrant. Then we go on to prove non-collision property of 2-vortex system by using the explicit form of orbits of 2-vortex…

We give a rigorous construction of solutions to the Euler point vortices system in which three vortices burst out of a single one in a configuration of many vortices, or equivalently that there exist configurations of arbitrarily many…

We consider a dynamical system, possibly infinite dimensional or non-autonomous, with fast and slow time scales which is oscillatory with high frequencies in the fast directions. We first derive and justify the limit system of the slow…

The Orbit Problem consists of determining, given a matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$ and vectors $x,y\in \mathbb{R}^d$, whether there exists $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $A^n=y$. This problem was shown to be decidable in a seminal work of…
