We provide a definition of integral, along paths in the Sierpinski gasket K, for differential smooth 1-forms associated to the standard Dirichlet form K. We show how this tool can be used to study the potential theory on K. In particular,…
We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…
Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and metastable configurations correspond to…
We consider the class of profinite diffeological spaces, that is, diffeological spaces which diffeologies are deduced by pull-back of diffeologies on finite-dimensional manifolds through a system of projection mappings. This class includes…
We define the notion of fast finite-energy planes in the symplectization of a closed 3-dimensional energy level $M$ of contact type. We use them to construct special open book decompositions of $M$ when the contact structure is tight and…
This work establishes the well-posedness and a priori error analysis for the mixed FEEC-type finite element approximation of the three-dimensional vector Laplace boundary value problem subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition. The…
We study boundary value problems for the Laplacian on a domain $\Omega$ consisting of the left half of the Sierpinski Gasket ($SG$), whose boundary is essentially a countable set of points $X$. For harmonic functions we give an explicit…
We discuss computational and qualitative aspects of the fractional Plateau and the prescribed fractional mean curvature problems on bounded domains subject to exterior data being a subgraph. We recast these problems in terms of energy…
In this paper, we focus on Strichartz's derivatives, a family of derivatives including the normal derivative, on p.c.f. (post critically finite) fractals, which are defined at vertex points in the graphs that approximate the fractal. We…
Let O be a closed geodesic polygon in S^2. Maps from O into S^2 are said to satisfy tangent boundary conditions if the edges of O are mapped into the geodesics which contain them. Taking O to be an octant of S^2, we compute the infimum…
We give a purely analytic construction of a self-similar local regular Dirichlet form on the Sierpi\'nski carpet using approximation of stable-like non-local closed forms which gives an answer to an open problem in analysis on fractals.
We construct Dirac operators and spectral triples for certain, not necessarily self-similar, fractal sets built on curves. Connes' distance formula of noncommutative geometry provides a natural metric on the fractal. To motivate the…
In this paper I study properties of the generators $\triangle_\gamma$ of non-local Dirichlet forms $\mathcal{E}^\mu_\gamma$ on ultrametric spaces which are the path space of simple stationary Bratteli diagrams. The measures used to define…
We study the elliptic equation with a line Dirac delta function as the source term subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition in a two-dimensional domain. Such a line Dirac measure causes different types of solution singularities in the…
The various roles of boundary terms in the gravitational Lagrangian and Hamiltonian are explored. A symplectic Hamiltonian-boundary-term approach is ideally suited for a large class of quasilocal energy-momentum expressions for general…
We consider periodic energy problems in Euclidean space with a special emphasis on long-range potentials that cannot be defined through the usual infinite sum. One of our main results builds on more recent developments of Ewald summation to…
Koskela and Zhou have proven that, on the harmonic Sierpinski gasket with Kusuoka's measure, the "natural" Dirichlet form coincides with Cheeger's energy. We give a different proof of this result, which uses the properties of the Lyapounov…
Implicit and explicit density functionals for the exchange energy in finite two-dimensional systems are developed following the approach of Becke and Roussel [Phys. Rev. A 39, 3761 (1989)]. Excellent agreement for the exchange-hole…
In this article we study lower semicontinuous, convex functionals on real Hilbert spaces. In the first part of the article we construct a Banach space that serves as the energy space for such functionals. In the second part we study…
We introduce a synthetic approach to global pluripotential theory, covering in particular the case of a compact K\"ahler manifold and that of a projective Berkovich space over a non-Archimedean field. We define and study the space of…
