In this work, we extend the model of contact angles that we have previously developed for sessile drops on a wetted surface to the case of a meniscus in a capillary. The underlying physics of our model describe the intermolecular forces…
The classical dynamics of the isotropic two-dimensional harmonic oscillator confined by an elliptic hard wall is discussed. The interplay between the harmonic potential with circular symmetry and the boundary with elliptical symmetry does…
We study the persistent current of noninteracting electrons subject to a pointlike magnetic flux in the simply connected chaotic Robnik-Berry quantum billiard, and also in an annular analog thereof. For the simply connected billiard we find…
Simulations of a bilayer in a liquid solvent in the full range of areas from the floppy to the extended state also show the hole/tunnel spontaneous formation. Whether this change of topology is preceded by topological fluctuations of the…
In this work, we introduce the notion of regularization of bifunctions in a similar way as the well- known convex, quasiconvex and lower semicontinuous regularizations due to Crouzeix. We show that the Equilibrium Problems associated to…
We discuss the irreversibility, nonlocality, and fluctuations, as well as the Lyapunov and hydrodynamic instabilities characterizing atomistic, smooth-particle, and finite-difference solutions of the two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard…
In this paper we prove Bernstein type theorems for a class of stationary points of the Alt-Caffarelli functional in $\mathbb R^2$ and $\mathbb R^3$.
As a sequel to the paper [9], we study the existence and properties of Lipschitz solutions to the initial-boundary value problem of some forward-backward parabolic equations with diffusion fluxes violating Fourier's inequality.
The equilibrium problem defined by the Nikaid\^o-Isoda-Fan inequality contains a number of problems such as optimization, variational inequality, Kakutani fixed point, Nash equilibria, and others as special cases. This paper presents a…
A model of unsteady filtration (seepage) in a porous medium with capillary retention is considered. It leads to a free boundary problem for a generalized porous medium equation where the location of the boundary of the water mound is…
In this paper, we will present a new iterative construction for the auxiliary equation of Waring's problem, which seems a little simpler than the one of so called "smooth numbers" in papers [4] and [8], and give same upper bounds of G(k) as…
A first principles approach to the nonlinear flow of dense suspensions is presented which captures shear thinning of colloidal fluids and dynamical yielding of colloidal glasses. The advection of density fluctuations plays a central role,…
We consider the free boundary problem for a 3-dimensional, incompressible, irrotational liquid drop of nearly spherical shape with capillarity. We study the problem from the beginning, extending some classical results from the flat case…
We consider the motion of two superposed immiscible, viscous, incompressible, capillary fluids that are separated by a sharp interface which needs to be determined as part of the problem. Allowing for gravity to act on the fluids, we prove…
This document comes as supplementary material of the paper Stability in Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities by the same authors. It is intended to state a number of classical or elementary statements concerning constants and inequalities for…
For partially wetting, ellipsoidal colloids trapped at a fluid interface, their effective, interface--mediated interactions of capillary and fluctuation--induced type are analyzed. For contact angles different from 90$^o$, static interface…
We make remarks on Ristroph and Zhang's [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 101}, 194502 (2008)] paper. We argue especially that due to the interferences the calibration procedures in [1] were not complete and this will induce some measurements'…
We study the long-time existence and asymptotic behavior of a class of anisotropic capillary Gauss curvature flows. As an application, we provide a flow approach to the existence of smooth solutions to the capillary even $L_p$ Minkowski…
With the blessing of hind sight we consider the problem of metrizability and show that the classical Bing-Nagata-Smirnov Theorem and a more recent result of Flagg give complementary answers to the metrization problem, that are in a sense…
A circular Andreev billiard in a uniform magnetic field is studied. It is demonstrated that the classical dynamics is pseudointegrable in the same sense as for rational polygonal billiards. The relation to a specific polygon, the asymmetric…
