We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…

Purpose: This is an attempt to better bridge the gap between the mathematical and the engineering/physical aspects of the topic. We trace the different sources of non-convexification in the context of topology optimization problems starting…

We consider the quasi-static evolution of the thermo-plasticity model in which the evolution equation law for the inelastic strain is given by the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule. The thermal part of the Cauchy stress tensor is not linearised in…

Nonnegative measures that are solutions to a transport equation with continuous coefficients have been widely studied. Because of the low regularity of the associated vector field, there is no natural flow since nonuniqueness of integral…

Regularity results for minimal configurations of variational problems involving both bulk and surface energies and subject to a volume constraint are established. The bulk energies are convex functions with p-power growth, but are otherwise…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

Through experiments, we idealise a plant leaf as a flexible, thin, rectangular plate clamped at the midpoint and positioned perpendicular to an airflow. Flexibility of the structure is considered as an advantage at moderate flow speed…

We prove uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$. Our proof is based on the method of normal form reduction (NFR), which has been employed to obtain the…

We study boundary value problems for bounded uniform domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with non-Lipschitz (and possibly fractal) boundaries. We prove Poincar\'e inequalities with trace terms and uniform constants for uniform…

The motion of two contiguous incompressible and viscous fluids is described within the diffuse interface theory by the so-called Model H. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, which are coupled with the Cahn-Hilliard equation…

We consider a class of infinite-dimensional optimization problems in which a distributed vector-valued variable should pointwise almost everywhere take values from a given finite set $\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^m$. Such hybrid…

For elliptic systems with block structure in the upper half-space and t-independent coefficients, we settle the study of boundary value problems by proving compatible well-posedness of Dirichlet, regularity and Neumann problems in optimal…

Fitzpatrick's variational representation of maximal monotone operators is here extended to a class of pseudo-monotone operators in Banach spaces. On this basis, the initial-value problem associated with the first-order flow of such an…

An effort has been made to solve the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space by two methods. It is proved that the sum of the three vorticity components is a time-invariant in fluid motion. It has been proved that,…

Ideal gas dynamics can develop shock-like singularities with discontinuous density. Viscosity typically regularizes such singularities and leads to a shock structure. On the other hand, in 1d, singularities in the Hopf equation can be…
