The standard problem for the classical heat equation posed in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^n$ is the initial and boundary value problem. If the Laplace operator is replaced by a version of the fractional Laplacian, the initial…

Standard perturbation theory of eigenvalue problems consists of obtaining approximations of eigenmodes in the neighborhood of an operator where the corresponding eigenmode is known. Nevertheless, if the corresponding eigenmodes of several…
Three inverse boundary value problems for the heat equations in one space dimension are considered. Those three problems are: extracting an unknown interface in a heat conductive material, an unknown boundary in a layered material or a…
Fundamental inconsistencies of superstatistics are highlighted. There is no such thing as a superposition of Boltzmann factors; what is actually derived is a generating function and not a normalizable probability density. The beta density…

The Initial-Boundary Value Problem for the heat equation is solved by using a new algorithm based on a random walk on heat balls. Even if it represents a sophisticated generalization of the Walk on Spheres (WOS) algorithm introduced to…
We investigate the behavior of the solution of a mixed problem in a domain with two moderately close holes. We introduce a positive parameter $\epsilon$ and we define a perforated domain $\Omega_{\epsilon}$ obtained by making two small…

We study the wave equation on a bounded domain of $\mathbb R^m$ and on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary. We assume that the coefficients of the wave equation are unknown but that we are given the hyperbolic…
The Laplacian matrix of the $n$-dimensional hypercube has $n+1$ distinct eigenvalues $2i$, where $0\leq i\leq n$. In 2004, B\i y\i ko\u{g}lu, Hordijk, Leydold, Pisanski and Stadler initiated the study of eigenfunctions of hypercubes with…
We prove a general Mosco convergence theorem for bounded Euclidean domains satisfying a set of mild geometric hypotheses. For bounded domains, this notion implies norm-resolvent convergence for the Dirichlet Laplacian which in turn ensures…
In this note, we use the method of [3] to give a simple proof of famous Witten conjecture. Combining the coefficients derived in our note and this method, we can derive more recursion formulas of Hodge integrals.
An explicit representation formula for all positive ancient solutions of the heat equation in the Euclidean case is found. In the Riemannian case with nonnegative Ricci curvature, a similar but less explicit formula is also found. Here it…
We prove strong convergence of conforming finite element approximations to the stationary Joule heating problem with mixed boundary conditions on Lipschitz domains in three spatial dimensions. We show optimal global regularity estimates on…
When considered as a standalone iterative solver for elliptic boundary value problems, the Dirichlet-Neumann (DN) method is known to converge geometrically for domain decompositions into strips, even for a large number of subdomains.…
Let $n$ be a positive multiple of $4$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on singular cubic hypersurfaces $S_n$ defined by $$ x^3=(y_1^2 + \cdots + y_n^2)z . $$ This result is new in two…
Topological transformations of dielectric structures radically change the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of photonic resonances. Moreover, optical effects may arise that characterize the moment of transition from one structure to another,…
