The paper introduces a Poisson-type problem on a mixed-dimensional structure combining a Euclidean domain and a lower-dimensional self-similar component touching a compact surface (interface). The lower-dimensional piece is a so-called…
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding an optimum over a family of convex functions. For instance, finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, and optimizing functionals arising from some…
We develop and analyse finite volume methods for the Poisson problem with boundary conditions involving oblique derivatives. We design a generic framework, for finite volume discretisations of such models, in which internal fluxes are not…
We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…
A subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean space having nonempty interior is called a spindle convex body if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) congruent d-dimensional closed balls. The spindle convex body is called a…
It is proved in Chon{\'e} and Le Meur (2001) that the problem of minimizing a Dirichlet-like functional of the function $u\_h$ discretized with $P\_1$ Finite Elements, under the constraint that $u\_h$ be convex, cannot converge. Here, we…
Considering the isentropic Euler equations of compressible fluid dynamics with geometric effects included, we establish the existence of entropy solutions for a large class of initial data. We cover fluid flows in a nozzle or in spherical…
The classical Busemann-Petty problem asks whether smaller central hyperplane sections of origin-symmetric convex bodies necessarily imply smaller total volume. Zvavitch studied this question for arbitrary measures with continuous even…
We show that products of sufficiently thick Cantor sets generate trees in the plane with constant distance between adjacent vertices. Moreover, we prove that the set of choices for this distance has non-empty interior. We allow our trees to…
We present concrete constructions of discrete sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\ge 2$) that intersect every aligned box of volume $1$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and which have optimal growth rate $O(T^d)$.
We present a new approach to the statistics of the cosmic density field and to the mass distribution of high-contrast structures, based on the formalism of Cayley trees. Our approach includes in one random process both fluctuations and…
In this review we provide an organized summary of the theoretical and computational results which are available for polymers subject to spatial or topological constraints. Because of the interdisciplinary character of the topic, we provide…
A first- and second-order relation between cosmic density and peculiar-velocity fields is presented. The calculation is purely Lagrangian and it is derived using the second-order solutions of the Lagrange-Newton system obtained by Buchert &…
The intrinsic volumes of a convex cone are geometric functionals that return basic structural information about the cone. Recent research has demonstrated that conic intrinsic volumes are valuable for understanding the behavior of random…
Estimating the volume of a convex body is a canonical problem in theoretical computer science. Its study has led to major advances in randomized algorithms, Markov chain theory, and computational geometry. In particular, determining the…
The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted volume with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the log-convex density conjecture, for many densities on…
We construct an approximate solution to the cosmological perturbation theory around Einstein-de Sitter background up to the fourth-order perturbations. This could be done with the help of the specific symmetry condition imposed on the…
Recurrence problems are fundamental in dynamics, and for example, sizes of the set of points recurring infinitely often to a target have been studied extensively in many contexts. For example, the problem of finding the dimension for…
We consider a generalization of the interior Schwarzschild solution that we match to the exterior one to build global C^1 models that can have arbitrary large mass, or density, with arbitrary size. This is possible because of a new insight…
In this paper we study geometric coincidence problems in the spirit of the following problems by B. Gr\"unbaum: How many affine diameters of a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ must have a common point? How many centers (in some sense) of…
