The impact of a wedge-shaped body on the free surface of a weightless inviscid incompressible liquid is considered. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical entries at constant velocity are dealt with. The differential problem corresponds to the…
We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…
We consider uniformly strongly elliptic systems of the second order with bounded coefficients. First, sufficient conditions for the invariance of convex bodies obtained for linear systems without zero order term in bounded domains and…
Any compact body in ${\mathbb R}^N$ with smooth boundary defines a two-valued function on the space of affine hyperplanes: the volumes of two parts into which these hyperplanes cut the body. This function is never algebraic if $N$ is even…
Chaplygin's equations describing the planar motion of a rigid body in an unbounded volume of an ideal fluid involved in a circular flow around the body are considered. Hamiltonian structures, new integrable cases, and partial solutions are…
The paper is concerned with the problem on rolling of a homogeneous ball on an arbitrary surface. New cases when the problem is solved by quadratures are presented. The paper also indicates a special case when an additional integral and…
The present study describes, first, an efficient algorithm for computing capillary-gravity solitary waves solutions of the irrotational Euler equations with a free surface and, second, provides numerical evidences of the existence of an…
The equichordal point problem is a classical question in geometry, asking whether there exist multiple equichordal points within a single convex body. An equichordal point is defined as a point through which all chords of the convex body…
The goal of this paper is to develop some aspects of the deformation theory of piecewise flat structures on surfaces and use this theory to construct new geometric structures on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric…
An infinitely smooth symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ is called $k$-separably integrable, $1\leq k<d$, if its $k$-dimensional isotropic volume function $V_{K,H}(t)=\mathcal H^d(\{\boldsymbol x\in K:\mathrm{dist}(\boldsymbol…
Conditions are investigated under which a body lying at rest or rocking on a solid horizontal surface can be removed from the surface by hydrodynamic forces or instead continues rocking. The investigation is motivated by recent observations…
We show that closed surfaces with minimal total absolute curvature in Cartan-Hadamard 3-manifolds bound flat convex bodies. This generalizes Chern-Lashof's theorem for surfaces in Euclidean space and solves a problem posed by Gromov in…
We study the problem of static, spherically symmetric, self-gravitating elastic matter distributions in Newtonian gravity. To this purpose we first introduce a new definition of homogeneous, spherically symmetric (hyper)elastic body in…
We describe our recent results concerning the rigidity/unlockability properties of clusters of rigid bodies sliding over the unit sphere.
We study stationary capillary-gravity waves in a two-dimensional body of water that rests above a flat ocean bed and below vacuum. This system is described by the Euler equations with a free surface. Our main result states that there exist…
We investigate the deformation of symmetry on cotangent bundles from the Euclidean plane to two-dimensional constant-curvature surfaces and the continuation of local dynamics aspects in Hamiltonian systems. For a fixed curvature sign…
We consider the problem of wrapping three-dimensional solid bodies with a given planar sheet of paper, where the paper may be folded or wrinkled but not stretched or torn. We propose a conjecture characterising the maximumvolume solid…
Finding a largest Euclidean ball in a given convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and finding a largest volume ellipsoid in $K$ are two problems of fundamentally different nature. The first is a purely Euclidean problem, where we consider…
A groupoid $\Omega \left( \mathcal{B} \right)$ called material groupoid is naturally associated to any simple body $\mathcal{B}$. The material distribution is introduced due to the (possible) lack of differentiability of the material…
