We look for a deep connection between mathematics and physics. Our approach is to propose a set theory T which leads to a concise mathematical description of physical fields and to a finite unit of action. The concept of "definability" of…

We study spherical, charged and self--similar distributions of matter in the diffusion approximation. We propose a simple, dynamic but physically meaningful solution. For such a solution we obtain a model in which the distribution becomes…

The difficulties with which the concept of point-like particles is beset, such as the infinities encountered in the existing theories of elementary particles, suggest a different approach to the study of these particles. Instead of…

A linear elastic circular disc is analyzed under a self-equilibrated system of loads applied along its boundary. A distinctive feature of the investigation, conducted using complex variable analysis, is the assumption that the material is…

Theoretically, the electric field becomes infinite at corners of two and three dimensions and edges of three dimensions. Conventional finite-element and boundary element methods do not yield satisfactory results at close proximity to these…

We study the structure of the zero set of a finite point charge electrical field $F = (X,Y,Z)$ in $\mathbb R^3$. Indeed, mostly we focus on a finite point charge electrical field $F =(X,Y)$ in $\mathbb R^2$. The well-known conjecture is…

Multiperforated plates exhibit high gradients and a loss of regularity concentrated in a boundary layer for which a direct numerical simulation becomes very expensive. For elliptic equations the solution at some distance of the boundary is…
