A classic feature of gravity is that it is an attractive force. If a source mass is prepared in a localized (classical- like) state, it will cause another probe mass to move towards it. Here we consider the situation in which a source mass…

We consider a shape optimization problem written in the optimal control form: the governing operator is the $p$-Laplacian in the Euclidean space $\R^d$, the cost is of an integral type, and the control variable is the domain of the state…
We study the {\it quasi-classical limit} of a quantum system composed of finitely many non-relativistic particles coupled to a quantized field in Nelson-type models. We prove that, as the field becomes classical and the corresponding…
We study a multi--particle model including a kinetic energy and a non linear local self-interaction, both in the bosonic and fermionic cases. In both cases, we prove that the model is well-posed if the number of particles is large enough.…
The goal of this paper is to improve the performance of an electric motor by modifying the geometry of a specific part of the iron core of its rotor. To be more precise, the objective is to smooth the rotation pattern of the rotor. A shape…
We introduce \emph{contact interactions hamiltonians} (self-adjointoperators defined by boundary conditions) between $N$ massive particles in $R^3$, $N \geq 3$. We prove that they are limits (in strong resolvent sense) when $ \epsilon \to…
We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures in one dimension involving an interaction energy that arises in the modelling of aggregation phenomena. We show that in a certain regime minimizers are absolutely…
