An effective Hamiltonian is derived for two coupled three-Josephson-junction (3JJ) qubits. This is not quite trivial, for the customary "free" 3JJ Hamiltonian is written in the limit of zero inductance L. Neglecting the self-flux is already…
The study of reflector surfaces in geometric optics necessitates the analysis of certain nonlinear equations of Monge-Amp\`ere type known as generated Jacobian equations. These equations, whose general existence theory has been recently…
We show that, in the periodic homogenization of uniformly elliptic Hamilton-Jacobi equations in any dimension, the effective Hamiltonian does not necessarily inherit the quasiconvexity property (in the momentum variables) of the original…

We study the rate of convergence of $u^\epsilon$, as $\epsilon \to 0+$, to $u$ in periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Here, $u^\epsilon$ and $u$ are viscosity solutions to the oscillatory Hamilton-Jacobi equation and its…

We present a partial-differential-equation-based optimal path-planning framework for curvature constrained motion, with application to vehicles in 2- and 3-spatial-dimensions. This formulation relies on optimal control theory, dynamic…
In this paper, we establish the convergence of solutions to the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation (with a Tonelli Hamiltonian): \[ \lambda u +H(x, du)=\varepsilon(\lambda)\Delta u,\quad \lambda>0 \] as $\lambda\rightarrow 0_+$, once the…
In analogy to gas-dynamical detonation waves, which consist of a shock with an attached exothermic reaction zone, we consider herein nonlinear traveling wave solutions, termed "jamitons," to the hyperbolic ("inviscid") continuum traffic…
We consider the mathematical analysis and numerical approximation of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations that arises in models that have relevance to steady isochoric flows of colloidal suspensions. The symmetric velocity…
For the discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equation,$$\lambda u+H(x,d_x u)=0, \ x \in M, $$we construct $C^{1,1}$ subsolutions which are indeed solutions on the projected Aubry set. The smoothness of such subsolutions can be improved under…
Based on fluid-dynamic and many-particle (car-following) simulations of traffic flows in (urban) networks, we study the problem of coordinating incompatible traffic flows at intersections. Inspired by the observation of self-organized…
We consider the eigenstate problem for a Hamiltonian operator of the field theory. Methods of construction the effective field theoretical Hamiltonians for which the eigenstate problem may be solved are discussed. In particular, we discuss…
This paper presents a new approach to congestion management at traffic-light intersections. The approach is based on controlling the relative lengths of red/green cycles in order to have the congestion level track a given reference. It uses…
We study dynamic traffic assignment with side-constraints. We first give a counter-example to a key result from the literature regarding the existence of dynamic equilibria for volume-constrained traffic models in the classical edge-delay…

The rarely used Hamilton-Jacobi equation has been utilized as an elegant way to find the trajectories of mechanical systems and to derive symplectic maps. Further, the exact solution in kick approximation of Hamilton's equations of motion…
We address the problem of optimal path planning for a simple nonholonomic vehicle in the presence of obstacles. Most current approaches are either split hierarchically into global path planning and local collision avoidance, or neglect some…
