A state of an excitonic insulator with the electric current is studied. Initially, in the metallic phase, the electrons and holes are assumed to be moving in the opposite directions, so as the electric current exists. This state is…
This paper deals with higher gradient integrability for $\sigma$-harmonic functions $u$ with discontinuous coefficients $\sigma$, i.e. weak solutions of $\div(\sigma \nabla u) = 0$. We focus on two-phase conductivities, and study the higher…
We introduce a model whose thermal conductivity diverges in dimension 1 and 2, while it remains finite in dimension 3. We consider a system of oscillators perturbed by a stochastic dynamics conserving momentum and energy. We compute thermal…
We study a~priori estimates for the Dirichlet problem of the $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian, \[-\mathrm{div}(|\nabla v|^{p(\cdot)-2} \nabla v) = f. \] We show that the gradients of the finite element approximation with zero boundary data converges…

Topological insulators subject to a time-symmetry-breaking perturbation are predicted to display a magneto-electric effect that causes the electric and magnetic induction fields to mix at the material's surface. This effect induces…
In the perfect conductivity problem of composites, the electric field may become arbitrarily large as $\varepsilon$, the distance between the inclusions and the matrix boundary, tends to zero. The main contribution of this paper lies in…
We consider a number of boundary value problems involving the $p$-Laplacian. The model case is $-\Delta_p u=V|u|^{p-2}u$ for $u\in W_0^{1,2}(D)$ with $D$ a bounded domain in ${\bf R}^n$. We derive necessary conditions for the existence of…
The ground state of a one-dimensional Hubbard model having the next-nearest neighbor hopping (t') as well as the nearest-neighbor one (t) is numerically investigated at half-filling. A quantum Monte Carlo result shows a slowly decaying…
In this note we are concerned with interior regularity properties of the $p$-Poisson problem $\Delta_p(u)=f$ with $p>2$. For all $0<\lambda\leq 1$ we constuct right-hand sides $f$ of differentiability $-1+\lambda$ such that the (Besov-)…
The thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, of a homogeneous chain of generically-ranged interacting planar rotors, more precisely the inertial $\alpha-XY$ model, is numerically studied with the coupling constant decaying as $r^{-\alpha}$. The…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N},$ $N\geq2.$ For $p>N$ and $1\leq q(p)<\infty$ set \[ \lambda_{p,q(p)}:=\inf\left\{ \int_{\Omega}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{p}\mathrm{d}x:u\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega)\text{ \ and…
We consider a two-phase heat conductor in two dimensions consisting of a core and a shell with different constant conductivities. When the medium outside the two-phase conductor has a possibly different conductivity, we consider the Cauchy…
We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…
We prove boundary higher integrability for the (spatial) gradient of \emph{very weak} solutions of quasilinear parabolic equations of the form $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t - div \mathcal{A}(x,t,\nabla u) = 0 &\quad \text{on} \ \Omega…
