The elastic properties of a material are encoded in a stiffness tensor field and the propagation of elastic waves is modeled by the elastic wave equation. We characterize analytic and algebraic properties a general anisotropic stiffness…

Effects of spatially varying interfacial parameters on the propagation of surface waves are studied. These variations can arise from inhomogeneities in coverage of surface active substances such as amphiphillic molecules at the fluid/gas…

We extend to the $n$-dimensional case a recent theorem establishing the validity of the Huygens' envelope principle for wavefronts in Finsler spaces. Our results have direct applications in analogue gravity models, for which the Fermat's…

We investigate spacetimes whose light cones could be anisotropic. We prove the equivalence of the structures: (a) Lorentz-Finsler manifold for which the mean Cartan torsion vanishes, (b) Lorentz-Finsler manifold for which the indicatrix…

We first review the $L^2$ bilinear generalizations of the $L^4$ estimate of Strichartz for solutions of the homogeneous 3D wave equation, and give a short proof based solely on an estimate for the volume of intersection of two thickened…

We study some properties of a recently proposed local Lorentz Violating Finsler geometry, the so-called Bipartite space. This anisotropic structure deforms the causal null surface to an elliptic cone and provides an anisotropy to the…

Recently, Kostelecky [V.A. Kostelecky, Phys. Lett. B 701, 137 (2011)] proposed that the spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (sLIV) is related to Finsler geometry. Finsler spacetime is intrinsically anisotropic and induces naturally…

We investigate anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces within a wedge in Euclidean space. In this study, we generalize the Minkowski norm \(F\), traditionally employed to define the anisotropic surface energy, to a gauge on the unit sphere…

In this paper we examine necessary conditions for an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium to be non-scattering at a single wave number and for a single incident field. These conditions are expressed in terms of the regularity of the boundary of…

The anisotropic $s$-fractional area measures are introduced as the first variation of the anisotropic fractional $s$-perimeter $P_s(K,L)$, with $L$ an origin symmetric convex body and $s\in(0,1)$. As $s\rightarrow 1^-$, the anisotropic…
