The Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional is a phase-field approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional that has been widely used for image segmentation. The approximation has the advantages of being easy to implement, maintaining the segmentation…
In order to study the possible phase conjugation of optical near-fields, it is necessary to go beyond the slowly varying envelope- and electric dipole approximations that are normally applied in phase conjugation studies where spatially…
We consider a free-boundary and free-discontinuity energy connecting phase separation and fracture in an elastic material. The energy excludes the contribution of phase boundaries in the cracked region, providing a heuristic approximation…

This paper establishes a global contraction property for networks of phase-coupled oscillators characterized by a monotone coupling function. The contraction measure is a total variation distance. The contraction property determines the…
Phase separation in the Hubbard model is investigated with the dynamical cluster approximation. We find that it is present in the paramagnetic solution for values of filling smaller than one and at finite temperature when a positive…
We prove that Wigner functions contain a symplectic connection. The latter covariantises the symplectic exterior derivative on phase space. We analyse the role played by this connection and introduce the notion of local symplectic…
We study the properties of convex functionals which have been proposed for the simulation of charged molecular systems within the Poisson-Boltzmann approximation. We consider the extent to which the functionals reproduce the true…
Dynamical mean-field approximation with explicit pairing is utilized to study the properties of a two-component Fermi gas at unitarity. The problem is approximated by the lattice Hubbard Hamiltonian, and the continuum limit is realized by…
We study the kinetic mean-field limits of the discrete systems of interacting particles used for halftoning of images in the sense of continuous-domain quantization. Under mild assumptions on the regularity of the interacting kernels we…
In the present article we study diffuse interface models for two-phase biomembranes. We will do so by starting off with a diffuse interface model on $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by two coupled phase fields $u,v$. The first phase field $u$ is the…
In two phase materials, each phase having a non-local response in time, it has been found that for some driving fields the response somehow untangles at specific times, and allows one to directly infer useful information about the geometry…
This article deals with the numerical approximation of effective coefficients in stochastic homogenization of discrete linear elliptic equations. The originality of this work is the use of a well-known abstract spectral representation…
Phase-field models have recently had great success in describing the dynamic morphologies and motility of eukaryotic cells. In this work we investigate the minimal phase-field model introduced in [Berlyand, Potomkin, Rybalko (2017)].…
The morphogenesis of cells and tissues involves an interplay between chemical signals and active forces on their surrounding surface layers. The complex interaction of hydrodynamics and material flows on such active surfaces leads to…
Fractal percolation exhibits a dramatic topological phase transition, changing abruptly from a dust-like set to a system spanning cluster. The transition points are unknown and difficult to estimate. In many classical percolation models the…
A novel representation is developed as a measure for multilinear fractional embedding. Corresponding extensions are given for the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu theorem and Pitt's inequality. New results are obtained for diagonal trace…
