We consider a class of degenerate elliptic fully nonlinear equations with applications to Grad equations: \begin{align} \begin{cases} |Du|^\gamma \mathcal{M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+\big(D^2u(x)\big)=f\big(|u\geq u(x)|\big) &\text{ in }\Omega,…
We consider the heat equation in a smooth bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with nonlinear Neumann boundary condition $\partial_\nu u = \lambda (u - u^3)$. Stable non-constant stationary solutions do not exist when…
We show that homeomorphisms $f$ in ${\Bbb R}^n$, $n\geqslant3$, of finite distortion in the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with a condition on $\varphi$ of the Calderon type and, in particular, in the Sobolev classes…
In high-contrast composite materials, the electric field concentration is a common phenomenon when two inclusions are close to touch. It is important from an engineering point of view to study the dependence of the electric field on the…
Let $\Omega$ be a compact and mean-convex domain with smooth boundary $\Sigma:=\partial\Omega$, in an initial data set $(M^3,g,K)$, which has no apparent horizon in its interior. If $\Sigma$ is spacelike in a spacetime $(\E^4,g\_\E)$ with…
We study holomorphic germs $f:(\mathbb{C}^2, 0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^2,0) with non-invertible differential $df_0$. In order to do this, we search for a modification $\pi:X \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ (i.e., a composition of point…
In the context of unfitted finite element discretizations the realization of high order methods is challenging due to the fact that the geometry approximation has to be sufficiently accurate. Recently a new unfitted finite element method…
In this paper, we study the boundary regularity for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We use a unified, simple method to prove that if the domain $\Omega$ satisfies the exterior $C^{1,\mathrm{Dini}}$ condition at…
We study inference in models where a transformation of parameters exhibits first-order degeneracy -- that is, its gradient is zero or close to zero, making the standard delta method invalid. A leading example is causal mediation analysis,…
We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega $ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We consider deformations $\phi (\Omega)$ of $\Omega $ obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz…

The wear-free sliding of layers or flakes of graphene-like 2D materials, important in many experimental systems, may occur either smoothly or through stick-slip, depending on driving conditions, corrugation, twist angles, as well as edges…
