In this paper we discuss on the vector valued version of Caristi's theorem. We show that the regularity of the cone is an essential condition to reach the vector valued version of Caristi's theorem in vector valued metric spaces. It is…
We prove the existence of a weak global in time mean curvature flow of a bounded partition of space using the method of minimizing movements. The result is extended to the case when suitable driving forces are present. We also prove some…
Scale invariance in the theory of classical mechanics can be induced from the scale invariance of background fields. In this paper we consider the relation between the scale invariance and the constants of particle motion in a self-similar…
Most transport theorems---that is, a formula for the rate of change of an integral in which both the integrand and domain of integration depend on time---involve domains that evolve according to a flow map. Such domains are said to be…
Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \| f(z) \|=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…
We describe an experiment dedicated to the study of the trajectories of a ball bouncing randomly on a vibrating plate. The system was originally used, considering a sinusoidal vibration, to illustrate period doubling and the route to chaos.…

Fix an irrational number $\alpha$, and consider a random walk on the circle in which at each step one moves to $x+\alpha$ or $x-\alpha$ with probabilities $1/2, 1/2$ provided the current position is $x$. If an observable is given we can…
We establish the existence of solutions to common noise McKean-Vlasov martingale problems for coefficients with low regularity. Our approach is able to handle the key challenge posed by drift coefficients that are discontinuous with respect…
A variation principle for mass transport in solids is derived that recasts transport coefficients as minima of local thermodynamic average quantities. The result is independent of diffusion mechanism, and applies to amorphous and…
We consider a mechanical system consisting of an infinite rod (a straight line) and a ball (a massless point) on the plane. The rod rotates uniformly around one of its points. The ball is reflected elastically when colliding with the rod…
Suppose that a closed $1$-rectifiable set $\Gamma_0\subset \mathbb R^2$ of finite $1$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and a vector field $u$ in a dimensionally critical Sobolev space are given. It is proved that, starting from $\Gamma_0$,…
Beyond H\"{o}lder's type, this paper mainly concerns the persistence and remaining regularity of an individual frequency-preserving KAM torus in a finitely differentiable Hamiltonian system, even allows the non-integrable part being…
It is believed that gravity will be explained in the framework of the existing quantum theory when one succeeds in eliminating divergencies at large momenta or small distances (although the phenomenon of gravity has been observed only at…
We formulate a variational principle for non-relativistic quantum mechanics inspired by Gauss's principle of least constraint. We define a quantum constraint functional as the probability-weighted square deviation between the actual motion…

In this paper, we investigate the existence of KAM tori for an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system with finite number of zero normal frequencies. By constructing a constant quantity we show that, for "most" frequencies in the sense of…
