It is by now well-known that one can recover a potential in the wave equation from the knowledge of the initial waves, the boundary data and the flux on a part of the boundary satisfying the Gamma-conditions of J.-L. Lions. We are…
We consider the problem of damping a control system with delay described by first-order functional-differential equations on a temporal tree. The delay in the system is time-proportional and propagates through the internal vertices. The…
Many problems in science and engineering involve, as part of their solution process, the consideration of a separable function which is the sum of two convex functions, one of them possibly non-smooth. Recently a few works have discussed…
Understanding mechanisms for energy dissipation from nanoparticles in contact with large samples is a central problem in describing friction microscopically. Calculation of the reduced density matrix appears to be the most suitable metho to…
This paper is an extension of the result by Christowiak and Kreisbeck (2017), which addresses the Gamma-convergence approach to a homogenization problem for composite materials consisting of two distinct types of parallel layers. In…
We investigate the problem of balanced embedding of a non-compact complex manifold into an infinite-dimensional projective space. In this paper we prove the existence of such an embedding in a model case. The strategy is by using a gradient…
We study the dynamics of pairs of connected masses in the plane, when nonholonomic (knife-edge) constraints are realized by forces of viscous friction, in particular its relation to constrained dynamics, and its approximation by the method…
We prove two compactness results for function spaces with finite Dirichlet energy of half-space nonlocal gradients. In each of these results, we provide sufficient conditions on a sequence of kernel functions that guarantee the asymptotic…
In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth convex optimization problems over the fixed point constraint sets of firmly nonexpansive operators. To find an optimal solution of the problem, we present an iterative method based on the hybrid…
We construct a new finite difference method for the flow of ideal viscous isentropic gas in one spatial dimension. For the continuity equation, the method is a standard upwind discretization. For the momentum equation, the method is an…
Many biological systems are governed by difference equations and exhibit discrete-time dynamics. Examples include the size of a population when generations are non-overlapping, and the incidence of a disease when infections are recorded at…
We prove a compactness and semicontinuity result that applies to minimisation problems in nonhomogeneous linear elasticity under Dirichlet boundary conditions. This generalises a previous compactness theorem that we proved and employed to…
This paper provides a rigorous convergence rate and complexity analysis for a recently introduced framework, called PDE acceleration, for solving problems in the calculus of variations, and explores applications to obstacle problems. PDE…

This paper investigates the initial-boundary value problem for weakly coupled systems of time-fractional subdiffusion equations with spatially and temporally varying coupling coefficients. By combining the energy method with the coercivity…
Many astrophysical simulations involve extreme dynamic range of timescales around 'special points' in the domain (e.g. black holes, stars, planets, disks, galaxies, shocks, mixing interfaces), where processes on small scales couple strongly…
In a recent result by the authors (ref. [1]) it was proved that solutions of the self-similar fragmentation equation converge to equilibrium exponentially fast. This was done by showing a spectral gap in weighted $L^2$ spaces of the…
We study partially segregated elliptic systems through the use of penalized energy functionals. These systems arise from the minimization of Gross-Pitaevskii-type energies that capture the behavior of multi-component ultracold gas mixtures…
