The Special Lagrangian Potential Equation for a function $u$ on a domain $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ is given by ${\rm tr}\{\arctan(D^2 \,u) \} = \theta$ for a contant $\theta \in (-n {\pi\over 2}, n {\pi\over 2})$. For $C^2$ solutions the…

We analyze a structure of the singular Lagrangian $L$ with first and second class constraints of an arbitrary stage. We show that there exist an equivalent Lagrangian (called the extended Lagrangian $\tilde L$) that generates all the…
This paper is devoted to the theoretical and numerical investigation of an augmented Lagrangian method for the solution of optimization problems with geometric constraints. Specifically, we study situations where parts of the constraints…
The article introduces a method to learn dynamical systems that are governed by Euler--Lagrange equations from data. The method is based on Gaussian process regression and identifies continuous or discrete Lagrangians and is, therefore,…
We develop the representation theory for reductive linear differential algebraic groups (LDAGs). In particular, we exhibit an explicit sharp upper bound for orders of derivatives in differential representations of reductive LDAGs, extending…
By one of the most fundamental principles in physics, a dynamical system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. This leads to the formation of the Euler-Lagrange equations, which serve as a model of how the system…
Lagrangian Descriptors (LDs) are scalar quantities able to reveal separatrices, manifolds of hyperbolic saddles, and chaotic seas of dynamical systems. A popular version of the LDs consists in computing the arc-length of trajectories over a…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} Lu = f + v^{-1}\text{Div}(v{\bf e} h), & x \in \Omega; u = 0, & x \in \partial \Omega, \end{cases}\] where $L$ is a degenerate, linear, second order…
We study the strong constraining problem in Lagrangian dynamics in the degenerate codimension one case. This is the first time that degenerate potentials at the constraint are considered for this problem. These new results cover several…
We consider degenerate and singular parabolic equations with $p$-Laplacian structure in bounded nonsmooth domains when the right-hand side is a signed Radon measure with finite total mass. We develop a new tool that allows global regularity…
We consider local weak solutions to the widely degenerate parabolic PDE \[ \partial_{t}u-\mathrm{div}\left((\vert Du\vert-\lambda)_{+}^{p-1}\frac{Du}{\vert Du\vert}\right)=f\qquad\mathrm{in}\ \ \Omega_{T}=\Omega\times(0,T), \] where…
Let $\textbf{A}$ be a symmetric convex quadratic form on $\mathbb{R}^{Nn}$ and $\Omega\Subset \mathbb{R}^n$ a bounded convex domain. We consider the problem of existence of solutions $u: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow…
We develop regularity theory for degenerate elliptic equations with the degeneracy controlled by a weight. More precisely, we show local boundedness and continuity of weak solutions under the assumption of a weighted Orlicz-Sobolev and…
We use a description based on differential forms to systematically explore the space of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Within this formalism, we propose a basis for the scalar sector at the lowest order in derivatives of the field and…
A characteristic feature of differential-algebraic equations is that one needs to find derivatives of some of their equations with respect to time, as part of so called index reduction or regularisation, to prepare them for numerical…
In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem for a new class of augmented Hessian equations. Under sharp assumptions that the matrix function in the augmented Hessian is regular and there exists a smooth subsolution, we establish global…
Many geometric and analytic properties of sets hinge on the properties of harmonic measure, notoriously missing for sets of higher co-dimension. The aim of this manuscript is to develop a version of elliptic theory, associated to a linear…
We investigate the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in uniformly convex domains for a large class of degenerate elliptic equations with singular zero order term. In particular we establish sharp existence and uniqueness results of positive…
This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for identifying Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) in manifolds with non-constant curvature, extending the theory to Finsler manifolds. By leveraging Riemannian and Finsler geometry, we…
