We give a new proof of the Minkowski-Hlawka bound on the existence of dense lattices. The proof is based on an elementary method for constructing dense lattices which is almost effective.
In this paper, a strain-gradient plasticity model is derived from a mesoscopic model for straight parallel edge dislocations in an infinite cylindrical crystal. The main difference to existing work is that in this work the well-separateness…
We provide an introduction to infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems. As this research field is quite rich, we restrict ourselves to the class of infinite-dimensional linear port-Hamiltonian systems on a one-dimensional spatial…
A discrete--dynamics model, which is specified solely in terms of the system's equilibrium structure, is defined for the density correlators of a simple fluid. This model yields results for the evolution of glassy dynamics which are…
In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional finite-memory Bresse system with homogeneous Dirichlet-Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions. We prove some general decay results for the energy associated with the system in the case of equal and…
We derive a set of equations in conformal variables that describe a potential flow of an ideal inviscid fluid with free surface in a bounded domain. This formulation is free of numerical instabilities present in the equations for the…
In this paper we prove the existence of an optimal domain which minimizes the buckling load of a clamped plate among all bounded domains with given measure. Instead of treating this variational problem with a volume constraint, we introduce…
We revisit the issue of conservation of magnetic helicity and the Woltjer-Taylor relaxation theory in magnetohydrodynamics in the context of weak solutions. We introduce a relaxed system for the ideal MHD system, which decouples the effects…
In \cite{Lei}, the author derived an exact rotation-strain model in two dimensions for the motion of incompressible viscoelastic materials via the polar decomposition of the deformation tensor. Based on the rotation-strain model, the author…
Reptation theory has been highly successful in explaining the unusual material properties of entangled polymer solutions. It reduces the complex many-body dynamics to a single-polymer description where each polymer is envisaged to be…
Earlier two of us (J.L. and L.P.) considered a matrix model for a two-level system interacting with a $n\times n$ reservoir and assuming that the interaction is modelled by a random matrix. We presented there a formula for the reduced…
We identify effective models for thin, linearly elastic and perfectly plastic plates exhibiting a microstructure resulting from the periodic alternation of two elastoplastic phases. We study here both the case in which the thickness of the…
We compute the exact relaxation and $\Lambda$-convex hull of the kinematic dynamo equations and show that they coincide. We also find the relaxation in the stationary case.
In this article, we first establish the main tool - an integral formula for Riemannian manifolds with multiple boundary components (or without boundary). This formula generalizes Reilly's original formula from \cite{Re2} and the recent…
We study the relaxation process in a two-dimensional lattice gas model, where the interactions come from the excluded volume. In this model particles have three arms with an asymmetrical shape, which results in geometrical frustration that…
We analyse a numerical scheme for a system arising from a novel description of the standard elastic--perfectly plastic response. The elastic--perfectly plastic response is described via rate-type equations that do not make use of the…
We formulate a relaxed linear elastic micromorphic continuum model with symmetric Cauchy force-stresses and curvature contribution depending only on the micro-dislocation tensor. Our relaxed model is still able to fully describe rotation of…
We reduce the problem of proving decay estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear PDEs to proving analogous estimates for solutions of one-dimensional ordinary differential inequalities. Our machinery allow the ellipticity to…
The completeness on the boundary (in the sense of Picone) of certain systems related to the III and IV BVPs for the elasticity system is proved. The completeness is obtained in both $L^p$ ($1\leq 1<\infty$) and uniform norms.
We prove a compactness and semicontinuity result that applies to minimisation problems in nonhomogeneous linear elasticity under Dirichlet boundary conditions. This generalises a previous compactness theorem that we proved and employed to…
