In this paper we consider the so-called procedure of {\it Continuous Steiner Symmetrization}, introduced by Brock in \cite{bro95,bro00}. It transforms every domain $\Omega\subset\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ into the ball keeping the volume fixed…
Concerning the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the classical notion of isospectrality assumes that two domains are related when they give rise to the same spectrum. In two dimensions, non isometric,…
Consistent initialization of the Laplace transform has been a fundamental and long-standing issue. The consistency of the L- approach has been questioned, yet it is a popular approach since the L+ approach requires a priori computation of…
In this paper we prove the continuity of stable subspaces associated to parabolic-hyperbolic boundary value problems, for limiting values of parameters. The analysis is based on the construction performed in a previous paper of Kreiss' type…
In the plane, we consider the problem of reconstructing a domain from the normal derivative of its Green's function (with fixed pole) relative to the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator. By means of the theory of conformal mappings,…
We present a direct analytic method towards an estimate for the rate of convergence (to the Euclidean Ball) of Steiner symmetrizations. To this end we present a modified version of a known stability property of the Steiner symmetrization.
We study symmetrization procedures within the class $\mathcal S_n$ of \emph{ball-bodies}, i.e.\ intersections of unit Euclidean balls (equivalently, summands of the Euclidean unit ball, or $c$-convex sets via the $c$-duality $A\mapsto…
A Lorentz and gauge symmetry preserving regularization method is proposed in 4 dimension based on momentum cutoff. We use the conditions of gauge invariance or freedom of shift of the loop-momentum to define the evaluation of the terms…
Determining a stability domain, i.e. a set of equilibria for which a dynamical system remains stable, is a core problem in control. When dealing with controlled systems, the problem is generally transformed into a robustness analysis…
The stationary points of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of unit volume metrics on a given closed manifold are known to be precisely the Einstein metrics. One may consider the modified problem of finding stationary points…
This survey deals with two closely connected topics: first, the stability of Einstein metrics under the Einstein-Hilbert functional, and second, their deformation theory and the study of the moduli space of Einstein metrics on a compact…
This paper deals with the homogenization of a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace operator in a domain with locally periodic oscillating boundary. The Neumann condition is prescribed on the oscillating part of the boundary, and the…
The Neumann problem in two-dimensional domain with a narrow slit is studied. The width of the slit is a small parameter. The complete asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalue of the perturbed problem converging to a simple eigenvalue of the…
We consider singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a cylinder with frequent and nonperiodic alternation of boundary conditions imposed on narrow strips lying in the lateral surface. The width of strips depends on a…
We discuss some of the geometric properties, such as the foliated Schwarz symmetry, the monotonicity along the axial and the affine-radial directions, of the first eigenfunctions of the Zaremba problem for the Laplace operator on annular…
The inf-sup constant for the divergence, or LBB constant, is explicitly known for only few domains. For other domains, upper and lower estimates are known. If more precise values are required, one can try to compute a numerical…
A general scalar-tensor theory can be formulated in different parametrizations that are related by a conformal rescaling of the metric and a scalar field redefinition. We compare formulations of slow-roll regimes in the Einstein and Jordan…
We discuss a one-parameter family of transformations which changes sets and functions continuously into their (k,n)-Steiner symmetrizations. Our construction consists of two stages. First, we employ a continuous symmetrization introduced by…
We develop the regularity theory of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cut-off and hard potentials (for instance, hard spheres), by (i) revisiting the Lp-theory to obtain constructive bounds, (ii) establishing propagation of…
Smooth parametrization consists in a subdivision of the mathematical objects under consideration into simple pieces, and then parametric representation of each piece, while keeping control of high order derivatives. The main goal of the…
