Motivated by the study of integer partitions, we consider partitions of integers into fractions of a particular form, namely with constant denominators and distinct odd or even numerators. When numerators are odd, the numbers of partitions…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of multiphase shape optimization problems, which can formally be written as $\min\Big\{{g}(F_1(\Omega_1),\dots,F_h(\Omega_h))+ m\vert\,\bigcup_{i=1}^h\Omega_i\vert :\ \Omega_i\subset D,\ \Omega_i\cap…
We consider degenerate nonautonomous energies $$ \int_\Omega f(x, Dv)\, dx, $$ for vector-valued functions $v \in W^{1,1}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^N)$, where the integrand $f(x,P)$ satisfies growth and weak uniform quasiconvexity assumption…
A very small amount of K\"ahler algebra (i.e. Clifford algebra of differential forms) in the real plane makes x + ydxdy emerge as a factor between the differentials of the Cartesian and polar coordinates, largely replacing the concept of…
We consider Hadamard fractional derivatives and integrals of variable fractional order. A new type of fractional operator, which we call the Hadamard-Marchaud fractional derivative, is also considered. The objective is to represent these…

We study dynamic minimization problems of the calculus of variations with Lagrangian functionals containing Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, classical and Caputo fractional derivatives. Under assumptions of regularity, coercivity and…
In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…
We compute invariants for the two-variable M\"obius transformation. In particular we are interested in partial differential equations in two dependent and two independent variables that are kept invariant under this transformation.
This document introduces a generalization of calculus that treats both continuous and discrete variables on an equal footing. This generalization of calculus was developed independently of the "Calculus on Time Scales" literature but may be…
For formal multivariate power series $\varphi(x)$ an inversion formula of the form $$ \varphi^{-1}(x)=x +\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=0}^m (-1)^k(m k)\varphi^{\circ k}(x) is offered$$.
We discuss a version of the fundamental theorem of calculus in several variables and some applications, of potential interest as a teaching material in undergraduate courses.
We study the relaxation of multiple integrals of the calculus of variations, where the integrands are nonconvex with convex effective domain and can take the value \infty. We use local techniques based on measure arguments to prove integral…
We have established a coherent framework for applying variational methods to partial differential equations on hypergraphs, which includes the propositions of calculus and function spaces on hypergraphs. Several results related to the…
The Dwyer-Fried invariants of a finite cell complex X are the subsets \Omega^i_r(X) of the Grassmannian of r-planes in H^1(X,\Q) which parametrize the regular \Z^r-covers of X having finite Betti numbers up to degree i. In previous work, we…
In the context of the Calculus of Variations for non-convex, vector variational problems, the natural process of going from a function $\phi$ to its quasiconvexification $Q\phi$ is quite involved, and, most of the time, an impossible task.…
Fractional calculus is a powerful and effective tool for modelling nonlinear systems. The M derivative is the generalization of alternative fractional derivative. This M derivative obey the properties of integer calculus. In this paper, we…
