We investigate nonlinear localized modes at light-mass impurities in a one-dimensional, strongly-compressed chain of beads under Hertzian contacts. Focusing on the case of one or two such "defects", we analyze the problem's linear limit to…
We consider a magnetic impurity in a spin liquid state of a magnetic system which is close to the quantum phase transition to the magnetically ordered state. There is similarity between this problem and the Kondo problem. We derive the…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geq 2$, be a smooth bounded domain. For $s \in (1/2,1)$, we consider a problem of the form \[ \left\{\begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^s u & = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x)\,, & \quad \mbox{in}…

We study discretizations of fractional fully nonlinear equations by powers of discrete Laplacians. Our problems are parabolic and of order $\sigma\in(0,2)$ since they involve fractional Laplace operators $(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2}$. They arise…
