We present a model of coupling between a point wise particle and a compressible inviscid fluid following the Euler equations. The interaction between the fluid and the particle is achieved through a drag force. It writes as the product of a…
We consider the periodic Manhattan lattice with alternating orientations going north-south and east-west. Place obstructions on vertices independently with probability $0<p<1$. A particle is moving on the edges with unit speed following the…
Let $\Cant_n$ be the $n$-th generation in the construction of the middle-half Cantor set. The Cartesian square $\K_n$ of $\Cant_n$ consists of $4^n$ squares of side-length $4^{-n}$. The chance that a long needle thrown at random in the unit…
Given two points in the plane, and a set of "obstacles" given as curves through the plane with assigned weights, we consider the point-separation problem, which asks for the minimum-weight subset of the obstacles separating the two points.…
The existence of radial solutions of a nonlinear Dirichlet problem in a ball is translated to the language of Mechanics, i.e. to requirements on the time of motion of a particle in an external potential and under the action of a viscosity…
We formulate an isomorphic version of the Busemann-Petty problem and solve it in affirmative in the case of sections of proportional dimensions.
A one phase Stefan problem in nonlinear conduction is considered. The problem is shown to admit a unique solution for small times. An exact solution is obtained which is a travelling front moving with constant speed.
In this paper we present a numerical solution of a one-phase 1D fractional Stefan problem with Caputo derivative with respect to time variable. In the proposed approach, we use a front fixing method and the algorithm of numerical…
The problem of covering a region of the plane with a fixed number of minimum-radius identical balls is studied in the present work. An explicit construction of bi-Lipschitz mappings is provided to model small perturbations of the union of…
Steinerberger introduced the Buffon discrepancy problem, asking how accurately a one-dimensional set of length $L$ in a convex body can match the Crofton-predicted line-intersection counts, and proved an $O\left(L^{1/3}\right)$ upper bound…
We present a method of solving a nonlinear Dirichlet problem with discontinuous boundary data and we give a probabilistic representation of the solution using the nonlocal branching process associated with the nonlinear term of the…
A new approach for solving stiff boundary value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations is presented. Its idea essentially generalizes and extends that from arXiv:1601.04272v8. The approach can be viewed as a methodology…
The truncated multidimensional moment problem is studied in terms of the Stieltjes transform as the interpolation problem. A step-by-step algorithm is constructed for the multidimensional moment problem and the set of solutions is found in…
We solve the Kakeya needle problem and construct a Besicovitch and a Nikodym set for rectifiable sets.
We study the connection between the generation of a fat point scheme supported at general points in the plane and the behaviour of the cotangent bundle with respect to some rational curves particularly relevant for the scheme. We put…
Many separable nonlinear optimization problems can be approximated by their nonlinear objective functions with piecewise linear functions. A natural question arising from applying this approach is how to break the interval of interest into…
In this paper, we study multiplicity of solutions of the Yamabe problem on product manifolds with minimal boundary via bifurcation theory.
In this paper, we prove the problem of stabbing a set of disjoint bends by a convex stabber to be NP-hard. We also consider the optimization version of the convex stabber problem and prove this problem to be APX-hard for sets of line…
Let $P$ be a polygonal curve in $\mathbb{R}^D$ of length $n$, and $S$ be a point set of size $k$. The Curve/Point Set Matching problem consists of finding a polygonal curve $Q$ on $S$ such that its Fr\'echet distance from $P$ is less than a…
We suggest a method of solving the problem of existence of a triangle with prescribed two bisectors and one third element which can be taken as one of the angles, the sides, the heights or the medians, or the third bisector.
