We develop a finite element method for the vector Laplacian based on the covariant derivative of tangential vector fields on surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Closely related operators arise in models of flow on surfaces as well as…
We investigate the stability of motion close to the Lagrangian equilibrium points L4 and L5 in the framework of the spatial, elliptic, restricted three- body problem, subject to the radial component of Poynting-Robertson drag. For this…
We introduce a relaxation of stability, called almost sure stability, which is insensitive to perturbations by subsets of Loeb measure $0$ in a non-standard finite group. We show that almost sure stability satisfies a stationarity principle…

Stabilizer-free $P_k$ virtual elements are constructed on polygonal and polyhedral meshes. Here the interpolating space is the space of continuous $P_k$ polynomials on a triangular-subdivision of each polygon, or a tetrahedral-subdivision…
The stability of dynamical systems with oscillatory behaviors and well-defined average vector fields has traditionally been studied using averaging theory. These tools have also been applied to hybrid dynamical systems, which combine…
We consider a dissipative vector field which is represented by a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian flow to which a non symplectic force is added, so that the phase space volume is not preserved. The vector field depends upon two parameters,…
