Two kinds of configurations involving steps on surfaces are reviewed. The first one results from an initially planar vicinal surface, i.e. slightly deviating from a high-symmetry (001) or (111) orientation. In some cases, these surfaces…
Let $\mathcal{F} $ be a pointwise almost periodic decomposition of a compact metrizable space $X$. Then $\mathcal{F} $ is $R$-closed if and only if $\hat{\mathcal{F}} $ is usc. Moreover, if there is a finite index normal subgroup $H$ of an…
In this paper, nonstandard multistep methods are considered. It is shown that under some (sufficient and necessary) conditions, these methods attain the same order as their standard counterparts - to prove this statement, a nonstandard…
In this paper independent sets of closure operations are introduced. We characterize minimal keys and antikeys of closure operations in terms of independent sets. We establish an expression on the connection between minimal keys and…
We show that attractive, translation invariant, one-dimensional spin systems started from the unit step function possess the following basic property. At any time, the entire configuration from a point onward is stochastically decreasing…
We show that one-dimensional Euclidean preference profiles can not be characterized in terms of finitely many forbidden substructures. This result is in strong contrast to the case of single-peaked and single-crossing preference profiles,…
Weak-strong uniqueness property in the class of finite energy weak solutions is established for two different compressible liquid crystal systems by the method of relative entropy. To overcome the difficulties caused by the molecular…
For topological dynamical systems defined by continuous self-maps of compact metric spaces, we consider the contractive shadowing property, i.e., the Lipschitz shadowing property such that the Lipschitz constant is less than 1. We prove…
We show that under some appropriate assumptions, every weak solution (e.g. energetic solution) to a given rate-independent system is of class SBV, or has finite jumps, or is even piecewise $C^1$. Our assumption is essentially imposed on the…
A subset $B \subset Y$ is constructible if it is an element of the smallest family that contains all open sets and is stable under finite intersections and complements. A function $f : X \to Y$ is said to be piece-wise closed if $X$ can be…
We prove that the geodesic flow on a compact locally CAT(-1) space has the weak specification property, and give various applications. We show that every H\"older potential on the space of geodesics has a unique equilibrium state. We…
We show that attractors are semicontinuous for closed relations on compact Hausdorff spaces. Semicontinuity is what guarantees that small changes to a system do not result in massive growth of certain features, notably attractors. That is,…
An analysis of stick-slip behavior and convergence of trajectories in the feedback-controlled motion systems with discontinuous Coulomb friction is provided. A closed-form parameter-dependent stiction region, around an invariant equilibrium…
We investigate the existence of weak solutions to a multi-component system, consisting of compressible chemically reacting components, coupled with the compressible Stokes equation for the velocity. Specifically, we consider the case of…
Weak similarities form a special class of mappings between semimetric spaces. Two semimetric spaces $X$ and $Y$ are weakly similar if there exists a weak similarity $\Phi\colon X\to Y$. We find a structural characteristic of finite…
We investigate the Whyburn and weakly Whyburn property in the class of $P$-spaces, that is spaces where every countable intersection of open sets is open. We construct examples of non-weakly Whyburn $P$-spaces of size continuum, thus giving…
The 2-sets convex feasibility problem aims at finding a point in the intersection of two closed convex sets $A$ and $B$ in a normed space $X$. More generally, we can consider the problem of finding (if possible) two points in $A$ and $B$,…
The space of constructible functions form a dense subspace of the space of generalized valuations. In this note we prove a somewhat stronger property that the sequential closure, taken sufficiently many (in fact, infinitely many) times, of…
We study the interaction of a ground state with a class of trapping potentials. We track the precise asymptotic behavior of the solution if the interaction is weak, either because the ground state moves away from the potential or is very…
With the tracking condition, the stability of quintessence solutions are examined. It is found that there is only one physically relevant fixed point for the system generically. Two specific examples of quintessence potentials are worked…
