A general expression for the strain energy of a homogeneous, isotropic, plane extensible elastica with an arbitrary undeformed configuration is derived. This energy constitutes the correct expression for one-dimensional models of polymers…
To minimize or upper-bound the value of a function "robustly", we might instead minimize or upper-bound the "epsilon-robust regularization", defined as the map from a point to the maximum value of the function within an epsilon-radius. This…
We consider a thin elastic strip of thickness h and we show that stationary points of the nonlinear elastic energy (per unit height) whose energy is of order h^2 converge to stationary points of the Euler-Bernoulli functional. The proof…
A new four-parameters family of constitutive functions for spherically symmetric elastic bodies is introduced which extends the two-parameters class of polytropic fluid models widely used in several applications of fluid mechanics. The four…
An elliptic relative equilibrium (ERE) is a special solution of the planar $N$-body problem generated by a central configuration. Its linear stability depends on the eccentricity $e$ and the masses of the bodies. However, for $e>0$, the…
A well-known result says that the Euclidean unit ball is the unique fixed point of the polarity operator. This result implies that if, in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the unit ball of some norm is equal to the unit ball of the dual norm, then the norm…
An isometry is a geometric transformation that preserves distances between pairs of points. We present methods to classify isometries in the Euclidean plane, and extend these methods to spherical, single elliptical, and hyperbolic geometry.…
Given $n \geq 2$ and $1<p<n$, we consider the critical $p$-Laplacian equation $\Delta_p u + u^{p^*-1}=0$, which corresponds to critical points of the Sobolev inequality. Exploiting the moving planes method, it has been recently shown that…
This paper focuses on establishing the existence of a class of steady solutions, termed least total curvature solutions, to the incompressible Euler system in a strip. The solutions obtained in this paper complement the least total…
We study the integrable system of first order differential equations $\omega_i(v)'=\alpha_i\,\prod_{j\neq i}\omega_j(v)$, $(1\!\leq i, j\leq\! N)$ as an initial value problem, with real coefficients $\alpha_i$ and initial conditions…
A sharp pointwise differential inequality for vectorial second-order partial differential operators, with Uhlenbeck structure, is offered. As a consequence, optimal second-order regularity properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic…
Universality has been a key concept for the classification of equilibrium critical phenomena, allowing associations among different physical processes and models. When dealing with non-equilibrium problems, however, the distinction in…
We study existence, multiplicity and qualitative properties of entire solutions for a noncompact problem related to p-biharmonic type equations with weights. More precisely, we deal with the following family of equations $$ \Delta_{p}^2 u =…
We establish the global gradient bounds for weak solutions to the elliptic variational inequality with two-sided obstructions, associated with a $p(x)$-Laplacian type operator involving degenerate or singular matrix weights. Under the…
Quantization needs evaluation of all of states of a quantized object rather than its stationary states with respect to its energy. In this paper, we have investigated moduli $\CMeP$ of a quantized elastica, a quantized loop with an energy…
It is shown that in a tower of coverings the regularized determinant of a generalized Laplacian converges to the $L^2$-determinant. This shows generic nontriviality of analytic torsion or regularized determinants since the…
In this paper we present a new general framework for anisotropic elastoplasticity at large strains. The new framework presents the following characteristics: (1) It is valid for non-moderate large strains, (2) it is valid for both elastic…
This paper is concerned with the global wellposedness of the Euler-Poisson-alignment (EPA) system. This system arises from collective dynamics, and features two types of nonlocal interactions: the repulsive electric force and the alignment…
In this work, singular surfaces are obtained from smooth orientable closed surfaces by applying three basic simple loop operations, collapsing operation, zipping operation and double loop identification, each of which produces different…
We introduce for any exponent $p>1$ the $p$-curvature functional for rectifiable curves in the two-dimensional sphere. We prove that this functional is finite and agrees with the integral of the geodesic curvature raised to the power $p$ on…
