We determine the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the linear elastodynamic equations in a stratified medium comprising an alternation of possibly very stiff layers with much softer ones, when the thickness of the layers tends to…
We are devoted to the study of a nonhomogeneous time-fractional Timoshenko system with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. We are concerned with the well-posedness of the given problem. The approach relies on some functional-analysis…
We prove that any given function can be smoothly approximated by functions lying in the kernel of a linear operator involving at least one fractional component. The setting in which we work is very general, since it takes into account…
Homogeneous fragmentations describe the evolution of a unit mass that breaks down randomly into pieces as time passes. They can be thought of as continuous time analogs of a certain type of branching random walks, which suggests the use of…

Contact problems with Coulomb friction in linear elasticity are notoriously difficult and their mathematical analysis is still largely incomplete. In this paper, a model problem with heterogeneous friction coefficient is considered in…
In this paper we aim to generalize results obtained in the framework of fractional calculus by the way of reformulating them in terms of operator theory. In its own turn, the achieved generalization allows us to spread the obtained…

It is well-known that classical linear elasticity equations are not form-invariant under local transformations. This is intrinsically related to the inhomogeneity of elastic media. However, the reported new linear elasticity equations for…
We consider an anisotropic L\'evy operator $\mathcal{I}_s$ of any order $s\in(0,1)$ and we consider the homogenization properties of an evolution equation. The scaling properties and the effective Hamiltonian that we obtain is different…

In this note we extend to the random, stationary ergodic setting previous results of periodic homogenization for a particular family of nonlinear nonlocal "elliptic" equations with oscillatory coefficients. Such equations include, but are…
We provide a general result concerning the homogenization of nonconvex viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the stationary, ergodic setting. In particular, we show that homogenization occurs for a non-empty set of points within every level…
The paper deals with homogenization of divergence form second order parabolic operators whose coefficients are periodic in spatial variables and random stationary in time. Under proper mixing assumptions, we study the limit behaviour of the…
This paper addresses the approximation of fractional harmonic maps. Besides a unit-length constraint, one has to tackle the difficulty of nonlocality. We establish weak compactness results for critical points of the fractional Dirichlet…
