Although lattice gases composed by $k$NN particles, forbidding up to their $k$th nearest neighbors of being occupied, have been widely investigated in literature, the location and the universality class of the fluid-columnar transition in…
The Frenkel-Kontorova model for dislocation dynamics from 1938 is given by a chain of atoms, where neighbouring atoms interact through a linear spring and are exposed to a smooth periodic on-site potential. A dislocation moving with…

We obtain the existence of mountain pass solutions for quasi-linear equations without the typical assumptions which guarantee the boundedness of an arbitrary Palais-Smale sequence. This is done through a recent version of the monotonicity…
