We study an obstacle problem for the length-penalized elastic bending energy for open planar curves pinned at the boundary. We first consider the case without length penalization and investigate the role of global minimizers among graph…
We consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated $K_{13}$ problem in the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an additional…
We study nematic equilibria on rectangular domains, in a reduced two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes framework. These reduced equilibria carry over to the three-dimensional framework at a special temperature. There is one essential model…
The question of spontaneous apparition of singularity in the 3D incompressible Euler equations is one of the most important and challenging open problems in mathematical fluid mechanics. In this survey article we review some of recent…
We consider linear and obstacle problems driven by a nonlocal integral operator, for which nonlocal interactions are restricted to a ball of finite radius. These type of operators are used to model anomalous diffusion and, for a special…
In this paper we examine two opposite scenarios of energy behavior for solutions of the Euler equation. We show that if $u$ is a regular solution on a time interval $[0,T)$ and if $u \in L^rL^\infty$ for some $r\geq \frac{2}{N}+1$, where…
We study regularity criteria for the $d$-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We prove if $u\in L_{\infty}^tL_d^x((0,T)\times \mathbb{R}^d_+)$ is a Leray-Hopf weak solution vanishing on the boundary and the pressure $p$…
We study almost-minimizers of anisotropic surface energies defined by a H\"older continuous matrix of coefficients acting on the unit normal direction to the surface. In this generalization of the Plateau problem, we prove almost-minimizers…
The paper, classically, presents an extended Klein-Gordon field system in 3+1 dimensions with a special Q-ball solution. The Q-ball solution is energetically stable, that is, for any arbitrary small deformation above the background of that,…
Nematic elastomers do not show the discontinuous, first-order, phase transition that the Landau-De Gennes mean field theory predicts for a quadrupolar ordering in 3D. We attribute this behavior to the presence of network crosslinks, which…
This paper is concerned with the regularity of shape optimizers of a class of isoperimetric problems under convexity constraint. We prove that minimizers of the sum of the perimeter and a perturbative term, among convex shapes, are C…
We study the Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor model of liquid crystals subjected to an electric field and develop a fully discrete numerical scheme for its solution. The scheme uses a convex splitting of the bulk potential, and we introduce a…
We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with focusing quintic and defocusing cubic nonlinearity in three space dimensions: \[ (i\partial_t+\Delta)u = |u|^2 u - |u|^4 u. \] In [18, 23], the authors classified the dynamics of…
Uniaxial nematic liquid crystals whose molecular orientation is subjected to a tangential anchoring on a curved surface offer a non trivial interplay between the geometry and the topology of the surface and the orientational degree of…
In recent work we have developed a renormalization framework for stabilizing reduced order models for time-dependent partial differential equations. We have applied this framework to the open problem of finite-time singularity formation…
We consider the Newtonian 3-body problem in dimension 4, and fix a value of the angular momentum which is compatible with this dimension. We show that the energy function cannot tend to its infimum on an unbounded sequence of states.…
We reprove a result by Ren and Wei concerning the periodicity of minimizers of a one-dimensional liquid drop model in the neutral case. Our proof works for general boundary conditions and also in the non-neutral case.
For a given domain $\Omega \subset \Bbb{R}^n$, we consider the variational problem of minimizing the $L^1$-norm of the gradient on $\Omega$ of a function $u$ with prescribed continuous boundary values and satisfying a continuous lower…
It is shown that a local-in-time strong solution $u$ to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations remains regular on an interval $(0,T)$ provided a smallness $\epsilon_0$-condition on $u$ in a lower time-restricted local Morrey space is stipulated;…
