The effect of the wind of Rayleigh-Benard convection on the boundary layers is studied by direct numerical simulation of an L/H=4 aspect-ratio domain with periodic side boundary conditions for Ra={10^5, 10^6, 10^7} and Pr=1. It is shown…
The paper deals with the approximate solution of integro-differential equations of Prandtl's type. Quadrature methods involving ``optimal'' Lagrange interpolation processes are proposed and conditions under which they are stable and…
We explore the conditions required for isolated vortices to exist in sheared zonal flows and the stability of the underlying zonal winds. This is done using the standard 2-layer quasigeostrophic model with the lower layer depth becoming…
In the present work the instability of a flat horizontal thin layer of a magnetic fluid (the depth of no more than 50 \mum) under the action of a uniform magnetic field is studied experimentally. It was revealed that the development of…
The Peierls argument is a mathematically rigorous and intuitive method to show the presence of a non-vanishing spontaneous magnetization in some lattice models. This argument is typically explained for the $D=2$ Ising model in a way which…
We establish the well-posedness of the MHD boundary layer system in Gevrey function space without any structural assumption. Compared to the classical Prandtl equation, the loss of tangential derivative comes from both the velocity and…
We prove the following sharp upper bound for the gradient of the Neumann semigroup $P_t$ on a $d$-dimensional compact domain $\OO$ with boundary either $C^2$-smooth or convex: $$\|\nn P_t\|_{1\to \infty}\le \ff{c}{t^{(d+1)/2}},\ \ t>0,$$…
Many large-scale and distributed optimization problems can be brought into a composite form in which the objective function is given by the sum of a smooth term and a nonsmooth regularizer. Such problems can be solved via a proximal…
We study the nonlocal effective action of a massless scalar field defined on a flat manifold with a curved boundary. Using a heat-kernel approach, we derive a covariant expansion of the nonlocal contribution to quadratic order in the…
We investigate an inertial viscosity-type Tseng's extragradient algorithm with a new step size to solve pseudomonotone variational inequality problems in real Hilbert spaces. A strong convergence theorem of the algorithm is obtained without…
The notion of a symmetric extension extends the usual notion of forcing by identifying a particular class of names which forms an intermediate model of ZF between the ground model and the generic extension, and often the axiom of choice…
We construct examples of compact and one-ended constant mean curvature surfaces with large mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with axial symmetry by gluing together small spheres positioned end-to-end along a geodesic. Such surfaces…
This essay, an excerpt of the author's Ph.D. in Philosophy of mathematics (2012) thought of as being a companion to recent discoveries of new explicit Cartan geometry curvatures, analyzes how Gauss, after having devised the isometrically…
The diffusive motion of overdamped Brownian particles in tilted piecewise linear pontentials is considered. It is shown that the enhancement of diffusion coefficient by an external static force is quite sensitive to the symmetry of periodic…

In 2005, Bob Connelly showed that a generic framework in $\bR^d$ is globally rigid if it has a stress matrix of maximum possible rank, and that this sufficient condition for generic global rigidity is preserved by the 1-extension operation.…
We propose a modification technique for discrete time systems for exponentially fast convergence to compact sets. The extension technique allows us to use tools defined on Euclidean spaces to systems evolving on manifolds by modifying the…
A quark-magnetic Ginzburg-Landau (qHGL) gradient expansion of the free energy of two-flavor inhomogeneous quark matter in a magnetic field $H$ is derived analytically. It can be applied away from the Lifshitz point, generalizing standard…
In this paper, we prove some new thickness theorems with partial derivatives. We give some applications. First, we give a simple criterion that can judge whether two scaled Cantor sets have non-empty intersection. Second, we prove under…
Incremental gradient and incremental proximal methods are a fundamental class of optimization algorithms used for solving finite sum problems, broadly studied in the literature. Yet, without strong convexity, their convergence guarantees…
