We prove that the key property in models of Nonlinear Elasticity which corresponds to the non-interpenetration of matter, i.e. injectivity a.e., can be achieved in the class of weak limits of homeomorphisms under very minimal assumptions.…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and let $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a weak (sequential) limit of Sobolev homeomorphisms. Then $f$ is injective almost everywhere for $p>n-1$ both in the image and in the domain. For…

We study injectivity for models of Nonlinear Elasticity that involve the second gradient. We assume that $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is a domain, $f\in W^{2,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$ satisfies $|J_f|^{-a}\in L^1$ and that $f$ equals a given…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and $f_k \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms weakly converging to $f \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$. It is known that if $s=1$ and $p > n-1$ then $f$ is…

The paper is devoted to the study of mappings with non--bounded characteristics of quasiconformality. The analog of the theorem about radius injectivity of locally quasiconformal mappings was proved for some class of mappings. There are…

In this paper we prove the lower semicontinuity of a Neohookean-type energy for a model of Nonlinear Elasticity that allows, for the first time, for $p<n-1$. Our class of admissible deformations consists of weak limits of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$…

We propose a model for nonlinearly elastic membranes undergoing finite deformations while confined to a regular frictionless surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This is a physically correct model of the analogy sometimes given to motivate harmonic…

We show that homeomorphisms $f$ in ${\Bbb R}^n$, $n\geqslant3$, of finite distortion in the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with a condition on $\varphi$ of the Calderon type and, in particular, in the Sobolev classes…

In the present paper, it was studied the boundary behavior of the so-called lower Q-homeomorphisms in the plane that are a natural generalization of the quasiconformal mappings. In particular, it was found a series of effective conditions…

We study the possibility of a continuous extension of a class of mappings to an isolated point on the boundary of a domain. We show that if some characteristic of this mapping is integrable on almost all spheres in the neighborhood of at…

For a large class of metric spaces with nice local structure, which includes Banach-Finsler manifolds and geodesic spaces of curvature bounded above, we give sufficient conditions for a local homeomorphism to be a covering projection. We…

Let $q>1$, $(1-\frac{1}{q})a\geq 1$ and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be Lipschitz domain. We show that planar mappings in the second order Sobolev space $f\in W^{2,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^2)$ with $|J_f|^{-a}\in L^1(\Omega)$ are…

We derive geometrically linearized theories for incompressible materials from nonlinear elasticity theory in the small displacement regime. Our nonlinear stored energy densities may vary on the same (small) length scale as the typical…

In the article we study mappings of Carnot groups satisfy moduli inequalities. We prove that homeomorphisms satisfy the moduli inequalities ($Q$-homeomor\-phisms) with a locally integrable function $Q$ are Sobolev mappings. On this base in…

We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…

The present paper is devoted to the study of classes of mappings with non--bounded characteristics of quasiconformality. It is proved that the normal families of mappings distorting the families of mappings in ${\Bbb R}^n$ by special way,…

We consider the convexity properties of distortion functionals, particularly the linear distortion, defined for homeomorphisms of domains in Euclidean $n$-spaces, $n\geq 3$. The inner and outer distortion functionals are lower…

For quasi-linear elliptic equations we detect relevant properties which remain invariant under the action of a suitable class of diffeomorphisms. This yields a connection between existence theories for equations with degenerate and…

The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…

Based on the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation, the quantum interference (QI) effect is studied with the diagrammatic technique in weakly-disordered two-dimensional crystals with nearly half-filled bands. In addition to the usual…
