In this paper, we consider critical points of the horizontal energy $E_{\HH}(f)$ for a smooth map $f$ between two Riemannian foliations. These critical points are referred to as horizontally harmonic maps. In particular, if the maps are…

We consider spin ice magnets (primarily, $\mathrm{Dy_2Ti_2O_7}$) in the vicinity of their critical point on the $(H,T)$ plane. We find that the longitudinal susceptibility diverges at the critical point, leading to the behaviour…

We consider concentrated vorticities for the Euler equation on a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ in the form of \[ \omega = \sum_{j=1}^N \omega_j \chi_{\Omega_j}, \quad |\Omega_j| = \pi r_j^2, \quad \int_{\Omega_j} \omega_j d\mu…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ denote the class of all complex-valued harmonic functions $f$ in the open unit disk normalized by $f(0)=0=f_{z}(0)-1=f_{\bar{z}}(0)$, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the subclass of $\mathcal{H}$ consisting of normalized analytic…

We generalize the generalized-squeezing problem to include fractional values of the squeezing order $n$. This approach allows us to determine the locations of critical points at which qualitative changes in behaviour occur and accurately…

In this paper, we investigate sufficient condition for the invariance of a rectifying curve on a smooth surface immersed in Euclidean 3-space under isometry by using Darboux frame $\left\lbrace T, P, U\right\rbrace$. Further, we find the…

In this paper we consider critical points of the following nonlocal energy {equation} {\cal{L}}_n(u)=\int_{\R^n}| ({-\Delta})^{n/4} u(x)|^2 dx\,, {equation} where $u\colon H^{n/2}(\R^n)\to{\cal{N}}\,$ ${\cal{N}}\subset\R^m$ is a compact $k$…

We develop optimization methods which offer new trade-offs between the number of gradient and Hessian computations needed to compute the critical point of a non-convex function. We provide a method that for any twice-differentiable $f\colon…

We consider a class of integral functionals with convex integrand with respect to the gradient variable, assuming that the function that measures the oscillation of the integrand with respect to the x variable belongs to a suitable Sobolev…

Near-integrability is usually associated with smooth small perturbations of smooth integrable systems. Studying integrable mechanical Hamiltonian flows with impacts that respect the symmetries of the integrable structure provides an…

Let $M$ be a weighted manifold with boundary $\partial M$, i.e., a Riemannian manifold where a density function is used to weight the Riemannian Hausdorff measures. In this paper we compute the first and the second variational formulas of…

Given a two-variable function $f$ without critical points and a compact region $R$ bounded by two level curves of $f$, this note proves that the integral over $R$ of the second-order directional derivative of $f$ in the tangential…

We unify several Bellman function problems into one setting. For that purpose we define a class of functions that have, in a sense, small mean oscillation (this class depends on two convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$). We show how the unit ball…

We shall discuss the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for: $f(x,u, Du, D^2u) = \psi(x)$ where $f$ is a "natural" differential operator, with a restricted domain $F$, on a manifold $X$. By "natural" we mean operators that arise intrinsically…

If $u : \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d \to {\rm X}$ is a harmonic map valued in a metric space ${\rm X}$ and ${\sf E} : {\rm X} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, in the sense that it generates an ${\rm EVI}_0$-gradient flow, we prove that…

We prove that every reduced Stein space admits a holomorphic function without critical points. Furthermore, any closed discrete subset of such a space is the critical locus of a holomorphic function. We also show that for every complex…

We introduce the notions of strong asymptotic uniform smoothness and convexity. We show that the injective tensor product of strongly asymptotically uniformly smooth spaces is asymptotically uniformly smooth. This applies in particular to…
