We show in full generality the stability of optimal traffic paths in branched transport: namely we prove that any limit of optimal traffic paths is optimal as well. This solves an open problem in the field (cf. Open problem 1 in the book…

We study well-posedness, stabilization and control problems involving freely vibrating beams that may undergo motions of large magnitude -- i.e. large displacements of the reference line and large rotations of the cross sections. Such…
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a two-component higher order Camassa-Holm systems with fractional inertia operator $A=(1-\partial_x^2)^r,r\geq1$, which was proposed by Escher and Lyons. By the transport equation theory and…
