We enhance the approximation capabilities of algebraic polynomials by composing them with homeomorphisms. This composition yields families of functions that remain dense in the space of continuous functions, while enabling more accurate…

We present a classification of area-strict limits of planar $BV$ homeomorphisms. This class of mappings allows for cavitations and fractures but fulfil a suitable generalization of the INV condition. As pointed out by J. Ball [4], these…

We construct a monotone continuous $Q^1$ finite element method on the uniform mesh for the anisotropic diffusion problem with a diagonally dominant diffusion coefficient matrix. The monotonicity implies the discrete maximum principle.…

We consider a class of {energy integrals}, associated to nonlinear and non-uniformly elliptic equations, with integrands $f(x,u,\xi)$ satisfying anisotropic $p_i,q$-growth conditions of the form $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i (x)|\xi_i|^{p_i}\le…

We extend Siu's and Sampson's celebrated rigidity results to non-compact domains. More precisely, let $M$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety with universal cover $\tilde M$ and let $\tilde X$ be a symmetric space of non-compact type, a…

We propose two classes of mixed finite elements for linear elasticity of any order, with interior penalty for nonconforming symmetric stress approximation. One key point of our method is to introduce some appropriate nonconforming…

Given a non-compact Riemannian manifold M and a submanifold N of codimension q, we will construct under certain assumptions on both M and N a wrong way map in uniformly finite homology. Using an equivariant version of the construction and…

Incompressibility is established for three-dimensional and two-dimensional deformations of an anisotropic linearly elastic material, as conditions to be satisfied by the elastic compliances. These conditions make it straightforward to…

When doing representation learning on data that lives on a known non-trivial manifold embedded in high dimensional space, it is natural to desire the encoder to be homeomorphic when restricted to the manifold, so that it is bijective and…

In this paper we propose a nonlinear elasticity model of macromolecular conformational change (deformation) induced by electrostatic forces generated by an implicit solvation model. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electrostatic…

We continue our study of ends of non-compact manifolds, with a focus on the inward tameness condition. For manifolds with compact boundary, inward tameness, has significant implications. For example, such manifolds have stable homology at…

In this work the following energy is considered $I(u)=\int\limits_B{\frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2+\rho(\det\nabla u)\;dx},$ where $B\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ denotes the unit ball, $u\in W^{1,2}(B,\mathbb{R}^2),$ and…

We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $H^n$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that…

Diffusion-driven patterns appear on curved surfaces in many settings, initiated by unstable modes of an underlying Laplacian operator. On a flat surface or perfect sphere, the patterns are degenerate, reflecting translational/rotational…

We consider minimising $p$-harmonic maps from three-dimensional domains to the real projective plane, for $1<p<2$. These maps arise as least-energy configurations in variational models for nematic liquid crystals. We show that the singular…

We consider quasi-static poroelastic systems with incompressible constituents. The nonlinear permeability is taken to be dependent on solid dilation, and physical types of boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed) for the fluid…

Two widely-used computational paradigms for sublinear algorithms are using linear measurements to perform computations on a high dimensional input and using structured queries to access a massive input. Typically, algorithms in the former…

We consider the topic of linearization of finite elasticity for pure traction problems. We characterize the variational limit for the approximating sequence of rescaled nonlinear elastic energies. We show that the limiting minimal value can…

In non-linear incompatible elasticity, the configurations are maps from a non-Euclidean body manifold into the ambient Euclidean space, $\mathbb{R}^k$. We prove the $\Gamma$-convergence of elastic energies for configurations of a converging…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold equipped with a conformal structure, $E[w]$ the space of densities with the the conformal weight $w$ and $D_{w,w+\de}$ the space of differential operators from $E[w]$ to $E[w+\delta]$. Conformal quantization $Q$…
