We show that any 2-valued C^{1, \alpha} (\alpha \in (0, 1)) function u = {u_{1}, u_{2}} on an open ball B in {\mathbb R}^{n} with values u_{1}, u_{2} \in {\mathbb R}^{k} whose graph, viewed as a varifold with multiplicity 2 at points where…

We study (higher order) asymptotic behaviour near branch points of stationary $n$-dimensional two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ graphs in an open subset of ${\mathbb R}^{n+m}$. Specifically, if $M$ is the graph of a two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ function…

In the 1980's, Almgren developed a theory of multi-valued Dirichlet energy minimizing functions on $n$ dimensional domains and used it, in an essential way, to bound the Hausdorff dimension of the singular sets of area minimizing…

In the early 1980's Almgren developed a theory of Dirichlet energy minimizing multi-valued functions, proving that the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set (including branch points) of such a function is at most $(n-2),$ where $n$ is the…

We prove three theorems about the asymptotic behavior of solutions $u$ to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation at boundary points with tangent cones. First, under very mild hypotheses, we show that the doubling index…

This paper discusses the frequency function of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing functions in the special case when the domain and range are both two dimensional. It shows that the frequency function must be of value k/2 for some…

We calculate the mean and almost-sure leading order behaviour of the high frequency asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function associated with the natural Dirichlet form on $\alpha$-stable trees, which lead in turn to short-time heat…

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$ domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, which vanishes on an open subset of the boundary. In this note we study its critical set $\{x \in \overline{D}: \nabla u(x) = 0 \}$. When $D$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$…

We study the interior regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem $Lu=g$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, for anisotropic operators of fractional type $$ Lu(x)= \int_{0}^{+\infty}\,d\rho \int_{S^{n-1}}\,da(\omega)\, \frac{…

The asymptotic frequency $\omega$, dependence of the dynamic viscosity of neutral hard sphere colloidal suspensions is shown to be of the form $\eta_0 A(\phi) (\omega \tau_P)^{-1/2}$, where $A(\phi)$ has been determined as a function of the…

In his big regularity paper, Almgren has proven the regularity theorem for mass-minimizing integral currents. One key step in his paper is to derive the regularity of Dirichlet-minimizing $\mathbf{Q}_{Q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-valued functions in…

Two different methods are used to study the existence and stability of the (1+1)-dimensional $\Phi^4$ oscillon. The variational technique approximates it by a periodic function with a set of adiabatically changing parameters. An alternative…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for stationary biharmonic maps $u$ from a bounded, smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 5$) to a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold $N\subset\mathbb R^l$ without boundary. For any smooth…

A Dirichlet $k$-partition of a domain $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint open subsets such that the sum of their first Laplace-Dirichlet eigenvalues is minimal. A discrete version of Dirichlet partitions has…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and $k\geq 1$ an integer such that $n>2k$. We show that there exists $B_0>0$ such that for all $u \in H^{k}(M)$, \[\|u\|_{L^{2^\sharp}(M)}^2 \leq K_0^2 \int_M |\Delta_g^{k/2}…

In this article, we study the asymptotics of harmonic functions. A typical method is by proving monotonicity formulas of a version of rescaled Dirichlet energy, and use it to study the renormalized solution -- the Almgren's blowup. However,…

We show that there is generically non-uniqueness for the anisotropic Calder\'on problem at fixed frequency when the Dirichlet and Neumann data are measured on disjoint sets of the boundary of a given domain. More precisely, we first show…
