We derive some 1-D symmetry and uniqueness or non-existence results for nonnegative solutions of some elliptic system in the halfspace $\R^N_+$ in low dimension. Our method is based upon a combination of Fourier series and Liouville…
This paper deals with the solution of large classes of systems of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in spaces of generalized functions that are constructed as the completion of uniform convergence spaces. The existence result…
Many problems in geometric optics or convex geometry can be recast as optimal transport problems: this includes the far-field reflector problem, Alexandrov's curvature prescription problem, etc. A popular way to solve these problems…
In the present paper we consider the system {\Delta}u - W_u (u) = 0, where u: R^n to R^n, for a class of potentials W: R^n to R that possess several global minima and are invariant under a general finite reflection group G. We establish…
We prove the existence of nonradial solutions for the H\'enon equation in the ball with any given number of nodal zones, for arbitrary values of the exponent $\alpha$. For sign-changing solutions, the case $\alpha=0$ -- Lane-Emden equation…
The constraint equations for smooth $[n+1]$-dimensional (with $n\geq 3$) Riemannian or Lorentzian spaces satisfying the Einstein field equations are considered. It is shown, regardless of the signature of the primary space, that the…
In this work, a recently introduced general framework for trajectory statistical solutions is considered, and the question of convergence of families of such solutions is addressed. Conditions for the convergence are given which rely on…
Solutions of Einstein's equations are found for global defects in a higher-dimensional spacetime with a nonzero cosmological constant Lambda. The defect has a (p-1)-dimensional core (brane) and a `hedgehog' scalar field configuration in the…
Contrary to popular belief, the global positioning problem on earth may have more than one solutions even if the user position is restricted to a sphere. With 3 satellites, we show that there can be up to 4 solutions on a sphere. With 4 or…
We establish generic regularity results of free boundaries for solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$. We prove that, for almost every obstacle, the free boundary contains only regular points up to…
A flat Universe model supported by recent observations has 18 possible choices for its overall topology. To detect or exclude these possibilities is one of the most important tasks in modern cosmology, but it has been very difficult for…
The generalised Sudoku problem with $N$ symbols is known to be NP-complete, and hence is equivalent to any other NP-complete problem, even for the standard restricted version where $N$ is a perfect square. In particular, generalised Sudoku…
Weight optimization of frame structures with continuous cross-section parametrization is a challenging non-convex problem that has traditionally been solved by local optimization techniques. Here, we exploit its inherent semi-algebraic…
The gradient discretisation method (GDM) is a generic framework designed recently, as a discretise in spatial space, to partial differential equations. This paper aims to use the GDM to establish a first general error estimate for numerical…
We consider the acoustic field scattered by a bounded impenetrable obstacle and we study its dependence upon a certain set of parameters. As usual, the problem is modeled by an exterior Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation $\Delta u…
We study 1D NLS with non-gauge invariant quadratic nonlinearity on the torus. The Cauchy problem admits trivial global solutions which are constant with respect to space. The non-existence of global solutions also has been studied only by…
A section of a Hamiltonian system is a hypersurface in the phase space of the system, usually representing a set of one-sided constraints (e.g. a boundary, an obstacle or a set of admissible states). In this paper we give local…
