We give an overview of relaxation and 3d-2d passage theorems in hyperelasticity in the framework of the multidimensional calculus of variations. Some open questions are addressed. This paper, which is an expanded version of the…
$3d-2d$ dimensional reduction for hyperelastic thin films modeled through energies with point dependent growth, assuming that the sample is clamped on the lateral boundary, is performed in the framework of $\Gamma$-convergence. Integral…
The purpose of this article is to study the behavior of a heterogeneous thin film whose microstructure oscillates on a scale that is comparable to that of the thickness of the domain. The argument is based on a 3D-2D dimensional reduction…
A continuous transition for a system moving in a three-dimensional (3D) space to moving in a lower-dimensional space, 2D or 1D, can be made by means of an external squeezing potential. A squeeze along one direction gives rise to a 3D to 2D…
We present new abstract results on the interrelation between the minimizing movement scheme for gradient flows along a sequence of Gamma-converging functionals and the gradient flow motion for the corresponding limit functional, in a…
A $\Gamma$-convergence analysis is used to perform a 3D-2D dimension reduction of variational problems with linear growth. The adopted scaling gives rise to a nonlinear membrane model which, because of the presence of higher order external…

We consider the relaxation of a uniform current in a planar 2D conductor with account taken of electromagnetic retardation effects. If the 2D conductivity is larger than the speed of light, the straightforward solution for an infinite plane…

We derive a dimension-reduction limit for a three-dimensional rod with material voids by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. Hereby, we generalize the results of the purely elastic setting [57] to a framework of free discontinuity problems. The…
We discuss the mechanism of truncations driven by the imposition of constraints. We show how the consistency of such truncations is controlled, and give general theorems that establish conditions for the correct uplifting of solutions. We…
A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret & Raoult. Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic…
This article is aimed at studying the effects of the dimensional crossover (DC) on physical properties of condensed systems near phase transition and critical points. Here we consider the following problems: (1) the theoretical provisions…
We introduce three forms of generalized contraction (GC). Roughly speaking, these are motivated by allowing contraction to take place after small transients in time and/or amplitude. Indeed, contraction is usually used to prove asymptotic…
Recently, there were works claiming that path integral quantisation of gauge theories necessarily requires relaxation of Lagrangian constraints. As has also been noted in the literature, it is of course wrong since there perfectly exist…
In finite-volume-based flow-simulations with free-surface waves, wave reflections at the domain boundaries can cause substantial errors in the results and must therefore be minimized. This can be achieved via `implicit relaxation zones',…
Triangulation of a three-dimensional point from at least two noisy 2-D images can be formulated as a quadratically constrained quadratic program. We propose an algorithm to extract candidate solutions to this problem from its semidefinite…
In this paper we apply both the procedure of dimension reduction and the incorporation of structured deformations to a three-dimensional continuum in the form of a thinning domain. We apply the two processes one after the other, exchanging…
