We establish local existence and a quasi-optimal error estimate for piecewise cubic minimizers to the bending energy under a discretized inextensibility constraint. In previous research a discretization is used where the inextensibility…
Motivated by recent applications to entropy theory in dynamical systems, we generalise notions introduced by Matthews and define weakly weighted and componentwisely weakly weighted (generalised) quasi-metrics. We then systematise and extend…
Angular momentum conservation influences equilibrium statistical mechanics, leading to a generalized microcanonical density for an isolated system and a generalized Gibbs density for a weakly coupled system. We study the stochastic decay of…
A note on the property of weak contraction, which implies that all bounded solutions of a nonlinear system converge to a (possibly non-unique) equilibrium. We provide some simple results about interconnections of such systems, and a brief…
We study a model for a fluid showing viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior, which describes the flow in terms of the fluid velocity and an internal stress. This stress tensor is transported via the Zaremba--Jaumann rate, and it is subject…
Here we study a nonlinear thermoelasticity hyperbolic-parabolic system describing the balance of momentum and internal energy of a heat-conducting elastic body, preserving the positivity of temperature. So far, no global existence results…
We restore part of the thermodynamic formalism for some renormalized measures that are known to be non-Gibbsian. We first point out that a recent theory due to Pfister implies that for block-transformed measures free energies and relative…
We shall deal with both the barotropic and the full compressible Euler system in multiple space dimensions. Both systems are particular examples of hyperbolic conservation laws. Whereas for scalar conservation laws there exists a well-known…
We use the method of Compensated Compactness and Kinteic Formulation to show that the almost everywhere limit of quasilinear viscous approximations is the unique entropy solution (in the sense of {\it F. Otto}) of the corresponding scalar…
The analysis of Aguirregabiria, Hernandez, and Rivas [2004 Eur. J. Phys. 25, 555--567] of the electromagnetic linear momentum in quasistatic systems omits the presence of an equal and opposite hidden mechanical momentum in such systems. The…
There is a large variety of concepts used to generalize the classical Prandtl-Reuss relations of infinitesimal elasto-plasticity to finite strains. In this work, some basic approaches are compared in a qualitative way with respect to a…
Quasicrystals are characterized by quasi-periodic arrangements of atoms. The description of their mechanics involves deformation and a (so called phason) vector field accounting at macroscopic scale of local phase changes, due to atomic…
Onsager's conjecture, which relates the conservation of energy to the regularity of weak solutions of the Euler equations, was completely resolved in recent years. In this work, we pursue an analogue of Onsager's conjecture in the context…
Quantum batteries are emerging as highly efficient energy storage devices that can exceed classical performance limits. Although there have been significant advancements in controlling these systems, challenges remain in stabilizing stored…
Singular or weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations have been hypothesized to account for anomalous dissipation at very high Reynolds numbers and, in particular, to explain the d'Alembert paradox of non-vanishing drag. A…
We explore the quasiparticle model at finite chemical potential related to Ru-Keng Su's distinguished contributions to the topic. Besides, we discuss recent developments in the model, and in particular, one argues that the effective mass of…
The aim of this work is to prove the weak-strong uniqueness principle for the compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system on an exterior domain, with an isentropic pressure of the type $p(\varrho)=a\varrho^{\gamma}$ and allowing the density…
We consider a parabolic relaxation model for the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations in the isothermal framework. This system depends on the relaxation parameters $\alpha,\beta>0$ and approximates formally solutions of the…
