A variational approach is employed to find stationary solutions to a free boundary problem modeling an idealized electrostatically actuated MEMS device made of an elastic plate coated with a thin dielectric film and suspended above a rigid…
Singularities arise in diverse disciplines and play a key role in both exploring fundamental laws of physics and making highly-sensitive sensors. Higher-order (>3) singularities, with further improved performance, however, usually require…
The existence of many-body mobility edges in closed quantum systems has been the focus of intense debate after the emergence of the description of the many-body localization phenomenon. Here we propose that this issue can be settled in…
The formation of local magnetic moments and its size effect in one- and three-dimension finite systems with magnetic impurity are investigated based on the Anderson hybridizing model in real space. By the exact diagonalization within the…
We consider the Laplace equation in a domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, with a small inclusion of size $\epsilon$. On the boundary of the inclusion we define a nonlinear nonautonomous transmission condition. For $\epsilon$ small enough…
The problem of classifying boundary points of space-time, for example singularities, regular points and points at infinity, is an unexpectedly subtle one. Due to the fact that whether or not two boundary points are identified or even…
When an optimal control problem is solved for all possible initial conditions at once, the initial-state space splits into critical regions, each carrying a closed-form control law that can be evaluated online without solving any…
We consider a particle with a position-dependent mass, moving in a three-dimensional semi-infinite parallelepipedal or cylindrical channel under the influence of some hyperbolic potential. We show that the lack of uniformity in the…
For the water waves equations, the existence of splat singularities has been shown in [3], i.e., the interface self-intersects along an arc in finite time. The aim of this paper is to show the absence of splat singularities for the…
We show the absence of continuous symmetry breaking in 2D lattice systems without any smoothness assumptions on the interaction. We treat certain cases of interactions with integrable singularities. We also present cases of singular…
Recent developments in observational cosmology call for understanding the nature of the cosmological singularity (CS). Our work proposes modelling the vicinity of CS by a time dependent orbifold (TDO). Our model makes sense if quantum…
The paper is concerned with a variant of the continuous-time finite state Markov game of control and stopping where both players can affect transition rates, while only one player can choose a stopping time. We use the dynamic programming…
We prove that there are only finitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds with injectivity radius and first eigenvalue of the Laplacian bounded below whose fundamental groups can be generated by a given number of elements. An application to…
This paper introduces a modeling framework that is suitable to resolve singularities of impact phenomena encountered in applications. The method involves an exact transformation that turns the continuum, often partial differential equation…
We study the Muskat problem on the half-plane, which models motion of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities (e.g., oil and water) in a porous medium (e.g., an aquifer) that sits atop an impermeable layer (e.g., bedrock).…
The gravitational collapse of an infinite cylindrical thin shell of generic matter in an otherwise empty spacetime is considered. We show that geometries admitting two hypersurface orthogonal Killing vectors cannot contain trapped surfaces…
In this paper we study the Burgers equation with a nonlocal term of the form $Hu$ where $H$ is the Hilbert transform. This system has been considered as a quadratic approximation for the dynamics of a free boundary of a vortex patch. We…
