We study the boundary rigidity problem with partial data consisting of determining locally the Riemannian metric of a Riemannian manifold with boundary from the distance function measured at pairs of points near a fixed point on the…
Bending the edge of a thin elastic material promotes rigidity far from its clamped boundary. However, this curvature-induced rigidity can be overwhelmed by gravity or other external loading, resulting in elastic buckling and large…

We establish the existence and sharp global regularity results ($C^{0, \gamma}$, $C^{0, 1}$ and $C^{1, \alpha}$ estimates) for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs with unbalanced variable degeneracy. In a precise way, the degeneracy…
We establish the boundedness of the multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators from a product of weighted Hardy spaces into a weighted Hardy or Lebesgue space. Our results generalize to the weighted setting results obtained by Grafakos and…

This paper considers the coupled problem of a three-dimensional elastic body and a two-dimensional plate, which are rigidly connected at their interface. The plate consists of a plane elasticity model along the longitudinal direction and a…

A convergence result is proved for the equilibrium configurations of a three-dimensional thin elastic beam, as the diameter h of the cross-section goes to zero. More precisely, we show that stationary points of the nonlinear elastic…
We prove that if a triplet of functions satisfies almost equality in the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, then these functions are close to a common log-concave function, up to multiplication and rescaling. Our result holds for general…
Brownian motion and viscoelasticity of semiflexible polymers is a subject that has been studied for many years. Still, rigorous analysis has been hindered due to the difficulty in handling the constraint that polymer chains cannot be…
We illustrate a broken Hardy inequality on discontinuous finite element spaces, blowing up with a logarithmic factor with respect to the meshes size. This is motivated by numerical analysis for the strain gradient elasticity with natural…
In this paper, we obtain a geometric result for composite materials related to elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. In the classical papers Li and Vogelius (2000), and Li and Nirenberg (2003), they assumed that for any…
A discrete-to-continuum analysis for free-boundary problems related to crystalline films deposited on substrates is performed by $\Gamma$-convergence. The discrete model here introduced is characterized by an energy with two contributions,…
In this paper we consider the stability issue for the inverse problem of determining an unknown inclusion contained in an elastic body by all the pairs of measurements of displacement and traction taken at the boundary of the body. Both the…
We are concerned with underlying connections between fluids, elasticity, isometric embedding of Riemannian manifolds, and the existence of wrinkled solutions of the associated nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we…
We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…
In this paper, a nonconforming finite element method has been proposed and analyzed for the von Karman equations that describe bending of thin elastic plates. Optimal order error estimates in broken energy and $H^1$ norms are derived under…
