Extrasolar systems with planets on eccentric orbits close to or in mean-motion resonances are common. The classical low-order resonant Hamiltonian expansion is unfit to describe the long-term evolution of these systems. We extend the…

J.Eells and L. Lemaire introduced k-harmonic maps, and T. Ichiyama, J. Inoguchi and H.Urakawa showed the first variation formula. In this paper, we give the second variation formula of k-harmonic maps, and show non-existence theorem of…

We identify a large class of constant (complex) coefficient, second order elliptic systems for which the Dirichlet problem in the upper-half space with data in $L^p$-based Sobolev spaces, $1<p<\infty$, of arbitrary smoothness $\ell$, is…

Recently, Dinew and Popovici introduced and studied an energy functional $F$ acting on the metrics in the Aeppli cohomology class of a Hermitian-symplectic metric and showed that in dimension 3 its critical points (if any) are K\"ahler. In…

An explicitly orbital-dependent correlation energy functional is proposed, which is to be used in combination with the orbital-dependent exchange energy functional in energy-band calculations. It bears a close resemblance to the…

Let $\varphi$ be a Musielak-Orlicz function satisfying that, for any $(x,\,t)\in\mathbb{R}^n\times(0,\,\infty)$, $\varphi(\cdot,\,t)$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class $A_\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)$ with the critical weight exponent…

If $u : \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d \to {\rm X}$ is a harmonic map valued in a metric space ${\rm X}$ and ${\sf E} : {\rm X} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, in the sense that it generates an ${\rm EVI}_0$-gradient flow, we prove that…

This work starts with the introduction of a family of differential energy operators. Energy operators ($Psi_R^+$, $Psi_R^-$) were defined together with a method to decompose the wave equation in a previous work. Here the energy operators…

Recent applications of large network models to machine learning, and to neural network suggest a need for a systematic study of the general correspondence, (i) discrete vs (ii) continuous. Even if the starting point is (i), limit…

Energy-Based Models (EBMs) have proven to be a highly effective approach for modelling densities on finite-dimensional spaces. Their ability to incorporate domain-specific choices and constraints into the structure of the model through…

Extensive variational computations are reported for the ground state energy of the non-relativistic two-electron atom. Several different sets of basis functions were systematically explored, starting with the original scheme of Hylleraas.…

In this paper we continue the investigation of the regularity of the so-called weak $\frac{n}{p}$-harmonic maps in the critical case. These are critical points of the following nonlocal energy \[ {\mathcal{L}}_s(u)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| (…

In this paper, our focus lies on the study of the second-order variational analysis of orthogonally invariant matrix functions. It is well-known that an orthogonally invariant matrix function is an extended-real-value function defined on…

Let $E$ be a measurable subset in a segment $[0,r]$ in the positive part of the real axis in the complex plane, and $U=u-v$ be the difference of subharmonic functions $u\not\equiv -\infty$ and $v\not\equiv-\infty$ on the complex plane. An…

We address the problem of interacting electrons in an external potential by introducing the occupied spectral density $\rho(\mathbf{r},\omega)$ as fundamental variable. First, we formulate the problem using an embedding framework, and prove…

Let $\pi:(E,\nabla^{E}) \to (M,g)$ be an affine submersion with horizontal distribution, where $\nabla^{E}$ is a symmetric connection and $M$ is a Riemannian manifold. Let $\sigma$ be a section of $\pi$, namely, $\pi \circ \sigma = Id_{M}$.…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…

The Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS) attempts to amend some of the shortcomings of the traditional perturbative methods used in cosmology. It models the evolution of long-wavelength perturbations above a cutoff…

The concept of "multiplicity of solutions" was developed in arXiv:1509.02603v2 which is based on the theory of energy operators in the Schwartz space S^-(R) and some subspaces called energy spaces first defined in arXiv:1208.3385 and…

In this paper, we motivate and define $\Phi$-energy density, $\Phi$-energy, $\Phi$-harmonic maps and stable $\Phi$-harmonic maps. Whereas harmonic maps or $p$-harmonic maps can be viewed as critical points of the integral of $\sigma_1$ of a…
