In this paper we study the local behavior of a solution to the Lam\'e system when the Lam\'e coefficients $\lambda$ and $\mu$ satisfy that $\mu$ is Lipschitz and $\lambda$ is essentially bounded in dimension $n\ge 2$. One of the main…
Non-local reaction-diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) involving the fractional Laplacian have arisen in a wide variety of applications. One common tool to analyse the dynamics of classical local PDEs near instability is to…
In this article, the piecewise-linear finite element method (FEM) is applied to approximate the solution of time-fractional diffusion equations on bounded convex domains. Standard energy arguments do not provide satisfactory results for…
After defining a notion of $\epsilon$-density, we provide for any real algebraic number $\alpha$ an estimate of the smallest $\epsilon$ such that for each $m>1$ the set of vectors of the form $(t,t\alpha,...,t\alpha^{m-1})$ for $t\in\R$ is…
This paper focuses on the uniform boundary estimates in homogenization of a family of higher order elliptic operators $\mathcal{L}_\epsilon$, with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. We derive uniform boundary $C^{m-1,\lambda}…

High-frequency wave propagation is often modelled by nonlinear Friedrichs systems where both the differential equation and the initial data contain the inverse of a small parameter $\varepsilon$, which causes oscillations with wavelengths…

We consider sequences of solutions $(\psi_n,A_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ to Taubes's modified Seiberg-Witten equations, associated with a fixed volume-preserving vector field $X$ on a 3-manifold and corresponding to arbitrarily large values of the…
We establish generic regularity results of free boundaries for solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$. We prove that, for almost every obstacle, the free boundary contains only regular points up to…
Inspired by previous work of Kusner and Bauer-Kuwert, we prove a strict inequality between the Willmore energies of two surfaces and their connected sum in the context of isoperimetric constraints. Building on previous work by…
We prove that any stable method for resolving the Gibbs phenomenon - that is, recovering high-order accuracy from the first $m$ Fourier coefficients of an analytic and nonperiodic function - can converge at best root-exponentially fast in…
We establish optimal stability estimates in terms of the Fraenkel asymmetry with universal dimensional constants for a Lorentzian isoperimetric inequality due to Bahn and Ehrlich and, as a consequence, for a special version of a Lorentzian…
The Lieb-Oxford bound, a nontrivial inequality for the indirect part of the many-body Coulomb repulsion in an electronic system, plays an important role in the construction of approximations in density functional theory. Using the…
We consider the time-harmonic elastic wave scattering from a general (possibly anisotropic) inhomogeneous medium with an embedded impenetrable obstacle. We show that the impenetrable obstacle can be effectively approximated by an isotropic…
In this work, we present a new solution representation for the Helmholtz transmission problem in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a thin and periodic layer of finite length. The layer may consists of a periodic pertubation of the…
