Existence of solution of the logarithmic Minkowski problem is proved for the case where the discrete measures on the unit sphere satisfy the subspace concentration condition with respect to some special proper subspaces. In order to…
We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for…
For $s\geqslant d$, we obtain the leading term as $N\to \infty$ of the maximal weighted $N$-point Riesz $s$-polarization (or Chebyshev constant) for a certain class of $d$-rectifiable compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^p$. This class includes…
We consider the self-force acting on a pointlike (electromagnetic or conformal-scalar) charge held fixed on a spacetime with a spherically-symmetric mass distribution of constant density (the Schwarzschild star). The Schwarzschild interior…
We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a solution to the stochastic NSLE on a two-dimensional compact riemannian manifold. Thus we generalize a recent work by Burq, G\'erard and Tzvetkov in the deterministic setting, and a series of…
In the singularly perturbed limit corresponding to a large diffusivity ratio between two components in a reaction-diffusion (RD) system, quasi-equilibrium spot patterns are often admitted, producing a solution that concentrates at a…
We study measures and point configurations optimizing energies based on multivariate potentials. The emphasis is put on potentials defined by geometric characteristics of sets of points, which serve as multi-input generalizations of the…

Numerical solutions of stationary diffusion equations on the unit sphere with isotropic lognormal diffusion coefficients are considered. H\"older regularity in $L^p$ sense for isotropic Gaussian random fields is obtained and related to the…
The paper deals with minimum energy problems in the presence of external fields on a locally compact space $X$ with respect to a function kernel $\kappa$ satisfying the energy and consistency principles. For quite a general (not necessarily…
This paper is concerned with the uniqueness on two inverse moving source problems in electrodynamics with partial boundary data. We show that (1) if the temporal source function is compactly supported, then the spatial source profile…
We consider the mean-field limit of systems of particles with singular interactions of the type $-\log|x|$ or $|x|^{-s}$, with $0< s<d-2$, and with an additive noise in dimensions $d \geq 3$. We use a modulated-energy approach to prove a…
