The Illumination Problem may be phrased as the problem of covering a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space by a minimum number of translates of its interior. By a probabilistic argument, we show that, arbitrarily close to the Euclidean ball,…

In this paper we continue the study of critical sets of solutions $u_\e$ of second-order elliptic equations in divergence form with rapidly oscillating and periodic coefficients. In \cite{Lin-Shen-3d}, by controling the "turning" of…

In this paper, the isodiametric problem for centrally symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean d-space R^d containing no interior non-zero point of a lattice L is studied. It is shown that the intersection of a suitable ball with the…

A long-standing conjecture states that all normalized symplectic capacities coincide on the class of convex subsets of ${\mathbb R}^{2n}$. In this note we focus on an asymptotic (in the dimension) version of this conjecture, and show that…

It is shown that any smooth closed orientable manifold of dimension $2k + 1$, $k \geq 2$, admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^{3k}$. This improves by $1$ the previously known lower bound of $3k+1$ on the possible…

We present for the first time an explicit, complete and closed-form solution to the three-dimensional problem of two fixed centres, based on Weierstrass elliptic and related functions. With respect to previous treatments of the problem, our…

A central problem in discrete geometry, known as Hadwiger's covering problem, asks what the smallest natural number $N\left(n\right)$ is such that every convex body in ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ can be covered by a union of the interiors of at most…

We show that a specific skew-symmetric form of nonlinear hyperbolic problems leads to energy and entropy bounds. Next, we exemplify by considering the compressible Euler equations in primitive variables, transform them to skew-symmetric…

For a fixed smooth map $u_0$ between two Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$ and $S$ with non-zero degree, we consider the energy function on Teichm\"uller space $\mc{T}$ of $\Sigma$ that assigns to a complex structure $t\in \mc{T}$ on $\Sigma$ the…

We introduce a conjecture that we call the {\it Two Hyperplane Conjecture}, saying that an isoperimetric surface that divides a convex body in half by volume is trapped between parallel hyperplanes. The conjecture is motivated by an…

In this paper we study classification of homogeneous solutions to the stationary Euler equation with locally finite energy. Written in the form $u = \nabla^\perp \Psi$, $\Psi(r,\theta) = r^{\lambda} \psi(\theta)$, for $\lambda >0$, we show…

We present a computer assisted proof or diffusion in the Planar Elliptic Restricted Three Body Problem. We treat the elliptic problem as a perturbation of the circular problem, where the perturbation parameter is the eccentricity of the…

We consider admissible weak solutions to the compressible Euler system with source terms, which include rotating shallow water system and the Euler system with damping as special examples. In the case of anti-symmetric sources such as…

This work is about ME, the Method of Ellipcenters. ME was recently introduced by these very authors as a first order accelerated scheme for unconstrained minimization. Its iterates are all centers of ellipses carefully designed to somehow…

We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…

Many problems in electrical engineering or fluid mechanics can be modeled by parabolic-elliptic interface problems, where the domain for the exterior elliptic problem might be unbounded. A possibility to solve this class of problems…

We investigate equilibrium configurations for surface energies which contain the squared $L^2$ norm of the difference of the mean curvature H and the spontaneous curvature $c_o$ coupled with the elastic energy of the boundary curve, which…

We address a class of schemes for the Euler equations with the following features: the space discretization is staggered, possible upwinding is performed with respect to the material velocity only and the internal energy balance is solved,…

In this paper we present new embedding results for Musielak-Orlicz Sobolev spaces of double phase type. Based on the continuous embedding of $W^{1,\mathcal{H}}(\Omega)$ into $L^{\mathcal{H}_*}(\Omega)$, where $\mathcal{H}_*$ is the Sobolev…

We propose and analyze a second-order partitioned time-stepping method for a two-phase flow problem in porous media. The algorithm is based on a refactorization of Cauchy's one-leg $\theta$-method. The main part consists of the implicit…
