Critical points of an invariant function may or may not be symmetric. We prove, however, that if a symmetric critical point exists, those adjacent to it are generically symmetry breaking. This mathematical mechanism is shown to carry…

Motivated by recent experiments, we present a study of the dynamics of cracks in thin sheets. While the equations of elasticity for thin plates are well known, there remains the question of path selection for a propagating crack. We invoke…

These lecture notes provide a basic introduction to Selberg's trace formula. We discuss the simplest possible case: the spectrum of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian surface of constant negative curvature. (To appear in Springer LNP.)

The aim of this short article is to convey the basic idea of the original paper [3], without going into too much detail, about how to derive sharp asymptotics of the gyration radius for random walk, self-avoiding walk and oriented…

In this paper, we give the rigidity theorem for a log morphism as an extension of a fixed scheme morphism. We also give several applications of the rigidity theorem.

In this paper we study sufficient local conditions for the existence of non-trivial solution to a critical equation for the $p(x)-$Laplacian where the critical term is placed as a source through the boundary of the domain. The proof relies…

We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…

The aim of this paper is to establish some metrical coincidence and common fixed point theorems with an arbitrary relation under an implicit contractive condition which is general enough to cover a multitude of well known contraction…

Here an original idea is suggested to prove the existence of optimal control for some types of non- linear problems. The obtained results can be considered as individual existence theorems (in some sense).

The aim of this note is to present a numerical method to solve the Stokes problem in a bounded domain with a Dirac source term, which preserves optimality for any approximation order by the finite-element method. It is based on the…

In this article, we investigate for some sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points for the topological $p$-proximal contractions and $p$-proximal contractive mappings on arbitrary topological spaces.…

We theoretically and experimentally investigate tensor-based regression and classification. Our focus is regularization with various tensor norms, including the overlapped trace norm, the latent trace norm, and the scaled latent trace norm.…

A rigorous way to obtain sharp bounds for Stokes constants is introduced and illustrated on a concrete problem arising in applications.

We deal with a family of functionals depending on curvatures and we prove for them compactness and semicontinuity properties in the class of closed and bounded sets which satisfy a uniform exterior and interior sphere condition. We apply…

In this paper we extend to a generic class of piecewise smooth dynamical systems a fundamental tool for the analysis of convergence of smooth dynamical systems: contraction theory. We focus on switched systems satisfying Caratheodory…

We introduce a general approach to traces that we consider as linear continuous functionals on some function space where we focus on some special choices for that space. This leads to an integral calculus for the computation of the precise…

We study the existence of critical points of stable stationary solutions to reaction-diffusion problems on topological tori. Stable nonconstant stationary solutions are often called patterns. We construct topological tori and patterns with…

We give a sharp spectral condition for the existence of odd cycles in a graph of given order. We also prove a related stability result.

A first order trace formula is obtained for a higher-order differential operator on a segment in the case where the perturbation is an operator of multiplication by a finite complex-valued measure. For the operators of even order $n\ge4$ a…

The main goal of this paper is to prove that for odd free knots - that is free knots with all odd crossings - the problem of sliceness (the existence of a spanning disc) has an explicit answer based on the pairing of the knot diagram…
