An element $e$ of a $3$-connected matroid $M$ is elastic if ${\rm si}(M/e)$, the simplification of $M/e$, and ${\rm co}(M\backslash e)$, the cosimplification of $M\backslash e$, are both $3$-connected. It was recently shown that if…

The Virtual Element Method (VEM) is a well-established framework for solving partial differential equations on polygonal and polyhedral meshes. In this paper, we introduce a novel hybrid VEM that integrates both conforming and nonconforming…
Cellularized tissue and polymer networks can both transition from floppy to rigid as a function of their control parameters, and, yet, the two systems often mechanically interact, which may affect their respective rigidities. To study this…
