We introduce a new method for obtaining quantitative results in stochastic homogenization for linear elliptic equations in divergence form. Unlike previous works on the topic, our method does not use concentration inequalities (such as…

In this article, we propose a finite volume discretization of a one dimensional nonlinear reaction kinetic model proposed in [Neumann, Schmeiser, Kint. Rel. Mod. 2016], which describes a 2-species recombination-generation process.…

A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…

We investigate the time-asymptotic properties of solutions of the differential equation x''(t) + a(t)x'(t) + g(x(t)) = 0 in a Hilbert space, where a(.) is non-increasing and g is the gradient of a potential G. If the coefficient a(.) is…

We prove a strong law of large numbers for directed last passage times in an independent but inhomogeneous exponential environment. Rates for the exponential random variables are obtained from a discretisation of a speed function that may…

We study non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the presence of gradient constraints and produce new, optimal, regularity results for the solutions. A distinctive feature of those equations regards the existence of a lower bound to the…
