We employ the pinching theorem, ensuring that some operators A admit any sequence of contractions as an operator diagonal of A, to deduce/improve two recent theorems of Kennedy-Skoufranis and Loreaux-Weiss for conditional expectations onto…
We prove results on solvability of nonlinear elliptic partial differential systems of principle type of second order. They are consequences of existence of non-radial solutions for nonlinear partial differential systems of Poisson type. As…
We consider the equilibrium equations for a linearized Cosserat material and provide two perspectives concerning well-posedness. First, the system can be viewed as the Hodge Laplace problem on a differential complex. On the other hand, we…
We classify two dimensional integrable mappings by investigating the actions on the fiber space of rational elliptic surfaces. While the QRT mappings can be restricted on each fiber, there exist several classes of integrable mappings which…
Homogenization in linear elliptic problems usually assumes coercivity of the accompanying Dirichlet form. In linear elasticity, coercivity is not ensured through mere (strong) ellipticity so that the usual estimates that render…

The theory of superposition rules for solutions of a Lie system of first-order differential equations is extended to deal with analogous systems of second-order and the theory is illustrated with the very rich example of Ermakov-like…
We establish the existence of strong solutions to a class of nonlinear strongly coupled and uniform elliptic systems consisting of more than two equations. The existence of of nontrivial and non constant solutions (or pattern formations)…
Modelling two-dimensional chiral materials is a challenging problem in continuum mechanics because three-dimensional theories reduced to isotropic two-dimensional problems become non-chiral. Various approaches have been suggested to…
We establish a decoupling result for the $P$ and $S$ waves of linear, isotropic elasticity, in the setting of twice-differentiable Lam\'e parameters. Precisely, we show that the $P\leftrightarrow S$ components of the wave propagation…
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…
A new ansatz is presented for a Lax pair describing systems of particles on the line interacting via (possibly nonsymmetric) pairwise forces. Particular cases of this yield the known Lax pairs for the Calogero-Moser and Toda systems, as…
We derive geometrically linearized theories for incompressible materials from nonlinear elasticity theory in the small displacement regime. Our nonlinear stored energy densities may vary on the same (small) length scale as the typical…
This paper is devoted to study a fundamental system of equations in plane Linear Elasticity Theory, the two-dimensional Lam\'e-Navier system. We rewrite them in a compressed form in terms of the Cauchy-Riemann operators and it allows us to…
This paper is devoted to a fundamental system of equations in Linear Elasticity Theory: the famous Lam\'e-Navier system. The Clifford algebra language allows us to rewrite this system in terms of the euclidean Dirac operator, which at the…
We propose global surjectivity theorems of differentiable maps based on second order conditions. Using the homotopy continuation method, we demonstrate that, for a $C^2$ differentiable map from a Hilbert space to a finite-dimensional…
We consider elliptic systems of order $2m$ in dimension $2m$ which are generalizations of extrinsic and intrinsic polyharmonic maps. We show the existence of a conservation law for these systems by using a small perturbation of Uhlenbeck's…
In this paper, we first establish the Schwarz-Pick lemma of higher-order and apply it to obtain a univalency criteria for planar harmonic mappings. Then we discuss distortion theorems, Lipschitz continuity and univalency of planar harmonic…
Hamiltonian systems with functionally dependent constraints (irregular systems), for which the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable, are discussed. They are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the…
We construct a two parameter family of 2-particle Hamiltonians closed under the duality operation of interchanging the (relative) momentum and coordinate. Both coordinate and momentum dependence are elliptic, and the modulus of the momentum…
