This paper deals with the homogenization of the $p$-Laplacian reaction-diffusion problems in a domain containing periodically distributed holes of size $\varepsilon$, with a dynamical boundary condition of pure-reactive type. We generalize…
Thermal waves are caused by pure diffusion: their amplitude is decreased by more than a factor of 500 within a propagation distance of one wavelength. The diffusion equation, which describes the temperature as a function of space and time,…

We study the homogenization of an obstacle problem in a perforated domain. The holes are periodically distributed but have random size and shape. The capacity of the holes is assumed to be stationary ergodic. As in the periodic case, we…

We introduce diffusion means as location statistics on manifold data spaces. A diffusion mean is defined as the starting point of an isotropic diffusion with a given diffusivity. They can therefore be defined on all spaces on which a…
Fractures are a critical process in how materials wear, weaken, and fail whose unpredictable behavior can have dire consequences. While the behavior of smooth cracks in ideal materials is well understood, it is assumed that for real,…

We consider the inverse problem of denoising an image where each point (pixel) is an element of a target set, which we refer to as a target-valued image. The target sets considered are either (i) a closed convex set of Euclidean space or…
