We consider a rigid body freely moving in a compressible inviscid fluid within a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. The fluid is thereby governed by the non necessarily isentropic compressible Euler equations, while the rigid body…
The relativistic theory of elasticity is reviewed within the spherically symmetric context with a view towards the modeling of star interiors possessing elastic properties such as theones expected in neutron stars. Emphasis is placed on…
This monograph (written in 1974) is the last part of the author's study in the field of theoretical and practical mechanics of the inertless mass (or mechanics of continuous medium). The investigation enriches the theory and provides…
This article shows that for unitary dual reductive pairs the first occurrence of theta lift of an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation is irreducible. It also proves a refined tower property for theta lifts and the involutive…
In this paper, we first provide an analytic and a bijective proof of a formula stated by Vladeta Jovovic in the OEIS sequence A117989. We also provide a bijective proof of another interesting result stated by him on the same page concerning…
The moving sofa problem, posed by L. Moser in 1966, asks for the planar shape of maximal area that can move around a right-angled corner in a hallway of unit width. It is known that a maximal area shape exists, and that its area is at least…
In 1909 Born studied the "relativistic undeformable body" but made the mistake of calling it "rigid". The "rigid body" as one can find in Relativity books is, in fact, this Born "undeformable body". In Relativity it is necessary to…
Logicians at the R\'enyi Mathematical Institute in Budapest have spent several years developing versions of relativity theory (special, general, and other variants) based wholly on first order logic, and have argued in favour of the…
Equations of a rotating body with one point constrained to move freely on a plane (dancing top) are deduced from the Lagrangian variational problem. They formally look like the Euler-Poisson equations of a heavy body with fixed point,…
In a paper appearing in this issue of Physics Letters A, Kowalski raises some critical comments on the experiment [F. Cardone, R. Mignani, A. Petrucci, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956] that we carried out by cavitating a solution of…
A compact set has computable type if any homeomorphic copy of the set which is semicomputable is actually computable. Miller proved that finite-dimensional spheres have computable type, Iljazovi\'c and other authors established the property…
To build a self-consistent effective-one-body (EOB) theory, in which the Hamiltonian, radiation-reaction force and waveform for the "plus" and "cross" modes of the gravitational wave should be based on the same effective background…
Equations of motion are derived for (visco)elastic, self-gravitating, and variably-rotating planets. The equations are written using a decomposition of the elastic motion that separates the body's elastic deformation from its net…
First, we give a closed-form formula for first passage time of a reflected Brownian motion with drift. This modifies a formula by Perry et al (2004). Second, we show that the maximum before a fixed drawdown is exponentially distributed for…
In this thesis we consider a discretization of the Euler top given by Hirota und Kimura. Using the geometric description of the conserved quantities as quadrics in real 3-space, we find that there exist maps on rulings of quadrics in the…
In this paper, we develop a method based on the analysis of the Kovalewski exponents to study the integrability of anisotropic and homogeneous Universes. The formalism is developed in scalar-tensor gravity, the general relativistic case…
In the modern theory of the Kowalevski top there are two elliptic curves introduced by Kowalevski and by Reyman and Semenov-Tian-Shansky. The Kowalevski variables of separation and poles of the Baker-Akhiezer function define two classes of…
We study the problem of motion of a relativistic, ideal elastic solid with free surface boundary by casting the equations in material form ("Lagrangian coordinates"). By applying a basic theorem due to Koch, we prove short-time existence…
We study lightlikeness preserving mappings from the $4$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime $\mathcal{M}_4$ to itself under no additional regularity assumptions like continuity, surjectivity, or injectivity. We prove that such a mapping $\phi$…
Various many-body models are treated, which describe $N$ points confined to move on a plane circle. Their Newtonian equations of motion ("accelerations equal forces") are integrable, i. e. they allow the explicit exhibition of $N$ constants…
