In this paper we establish the existence of the extended Dirichlet space for nonlinear Dirichlet forms under mild conditions. We employ it to introduce and characterize criticality (recurrence) and subcriticality (transience) and establish…
Intrinsic nonlinear elasticity deals with the deformations of elastic bodies as isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces (see Ciarlet [9,10]). In this paper, we study the rigidity and continuity properties of…
We study a new flexible method to extend linearly the graph of a non-linear, and usually not bijective, function so that the resulting extension is a bijection. Our motivation comes from cryptography. Examples from symmetric cryptography…
This note initiates an investigation of packing links into a region of Euclidean space to achieve a maximal density subject to geometric constraints. The upper bounds obtained apply only to the class of homotopically essential links and…
Conditions, related to the so-called bending problem are considered for hypersurfaces of a pseudo-Euclidean space. Corresponding theorems are proved.
The depinning of an elastic line interacting with a quenched disorder is studied for long range interactions, applicable to crack propagation or wetting. An ultrametric distance is introduced instead of the Euclidean distance, allowing for…
Motivated by recent interest in elastic problems in which the target space is non-Euclidean, we study a limit where local rest distances within an elastic body are incompatible, yet close to, distances within the ambient space.…
We derive an asymptotic expansion for two-dimensional displacement field associated to thin elastic inhomogeneities having no uniform thickness. Our derivation is rigorous and based on layer potential techniques. We extend these techniques…
This paper concerns the elastic structures which exhibit non-zero strain at free equilibria. Many growing tissues (leaves, flowers or marine invertebrates) attain complicated configurations during their free growth. Our study departs from…
We investigate some characteristic properties of specific Weingarten surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space using the nets of the lines of curvature resp. the asymptotic lines on both central surfaces of them.
We provide a new characterisation of the decades old open problem of extending bilipschitz mappings given on a Euclidean separated net. In particular, this allows for the complete positive solution of the open problem in dimension two.…
I consider the problem of a thin membrane on which a metric has been prescribed, for example by lithographically controlling the local swelling properties of a polymer thin film. While any amount of swelling can be accommodated locally,…
Given a compact pseudo-metric space, we associate to it upper and lower dimensions, depending only on the metric. Then we construct a doubling metric for which the measure of a dillated ball is closely related to these dimensions.
Non-Euclidean plates are a subset of the class of elastic bodies having no stress-free configuration. Such bodies exhibit residual stress when relaxed from all external constraints, and may assume complicated equilibrium shapes even in the…
Beginning the study of non-Euclidean geometries, physical models or representations, such as crochet ones, provide a tangible portrayal of these advanced mathematical concepts. However, their connection to local Euclidean surfaces still…
We prove the plasticity of the unit ball of $c$. That is, we show that every non-expansive bijection from the unit ball of $c$ onto itself is an isometry. We also demonstrate a slightly weaker property for the unit ball of $c_0$ -- we prove…
We revisit the velocity-dependent one-scale model for topological defect evolution, and present a new alternative formulation in terms of a physical (rather than invariant) characteristic length scale. While the two approaches are…
Any symmetric affinity function $w: V\times V \to \mathbb{R}_+$ defined on a discrete set $V$ induces Euclidean space structure on $V$. In particular, an undirected graph specified by an affinity (or adjacency) matrix can be considered as a…
We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of amorphous glasses, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different length and time scales. At the nanometer scale, we review…
This paper addresses the question: how should N n-dimensional subspaces of m-dimensional Euclidean space be arranged so that they are as far apart as possible? The results of extensive computations for modest values of N, n, m are…
