This paper deals with higher gradient integrability for $\sigma$-harmonic functions $u$ with discontinuous coefficients $\sigma$, i.e. weak solutions of $\div(\sigma \nabla u) = 0$. We focus on two-phase conductivities, and study the higher…
It is a classical result that if $u \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\nabla u \in SO(n)$ it follows that $u$ is rigid. In this article this result is generalized to matrix fields with non-vanishing curl. It is shown that every…

Our principal object of study is the modulus of continuity of a periodic or uniformly vanishing function \( u: \mathbb{R} ^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) which satisfies a degenerate elliptic equation \( F(x, u, \nabla u, D^{2} u) = 0 \) in…

Integrable or near-integrable magnetic fields are prominent in the design of plasma confinement devices. Such a field is characterized by the existence of a singular foliation consisting entirely of invariant submanifolds. A regular leaf,…

We study the notion of structured realizability for linear systems defined over graphs. A stabilizable and detectable realization is structured if the state-space matrices inherit the sparsity pattern of the adjacency matrix of the…
Given a smooth potential function $V : \mathbf{R}^m \to \mathbf{R}$, one can consider the ODE $\partial_t^2 u = -(\nabla V)(u)$ describing the trajectory of a particle $t \mapsto u(t)$ in the potential well $V$. We consider the question of…
