In this paper, by arising condition in variation, from equal time to non-equal time, I reconsider how geometrodynamics equations allow to be derived from variational principle in general relativity and then find the variation of extrinsic…
A $\Gamma$-convergence analysis is used to perform a 3D-2D dimension reduction of variational problems with linear growth. The adopted scaling gives rise to a nonlinear membrane model which, because of the presence of higher order external…
For problems in the calculus of cariations that exhibit the Lavrentiev phenomenon, it is known that the \textit{repulsion property} holds, that is, if one approximates the global minimizer in these problems by smooth functions, then the…
We characterize the asymptotic behaviour, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence, of a thin magnetoelastic shallow shell. The compactness is achieved up to rigid motions. For deformations, it relies on an approximation by rigid movements,…

We present a new one-dimensional model for elastic strips based on a nondevelopable ruled surface. An auxiliary field regularizes the Sadowsky narrow-strip model to allow nonzero twist with vanishing curvature. The energy exhibits the…

We analyse the $\Gamma$-convergence of general non-local convolution type functionals with varying densities depending on the space variable and on the symmetrized gradient. The limit is a local free-discontinuity functional, where the bulk…
We establish the well-posedness of a strongly damped semilinear wave equation equipped with nonlinear hyperbolic dynamic boundary conditions. Results are carried out with the presence of a parameter distinguishing whether the underlying…

In this paper, we present a new Carleman estimate for the adjoint equations associated to a class of super strong degenerate parabolic linear problems. Our approach considers a standard geometric imposition on the control domain, which can…
We prove local and global energy decay for the wave equation in a wave guide with damping at infinity. More precisely, the absorption index is assumed to converge slowly to a positive constant, and we obtain the diffusive phenomenon typical…
We consider a nonlinear parabolic model that forces solutions to stay on a $L^2$-sphere through a nonlocal term in the equation. We study the local and global well-posedness on a bounded domain and the whole Euclidean space in the energy…
