Consider a fixed connected, finite graph $\Gamma$ and equip its vertices with weights $p_i$ which are non-negative integers. We show that there is a finite number of possibilities for the coefficients of the canonical cycle of a numerically…

We consider second order phase field functionals, in the continuum setting, and their discretization with isogeometric tensor product B-splines. We prove that these functionals, continuum and discrete, $\Gamma$-converge to a brittle…

We propose a $\Gamma$-convergent discrete approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional. The discrete functionals act on functions defined on stationary stochastic lattices and take into account general finite differences through a…

We investigate boundary estimates for elliptic operators with stationary random coefficients exhibiting integrable correlations, arising from stochastic homogenization theory. As practical applications, we establish decay estimates for…

We present a Hilbert space perspective to homogenization of standard linear evolutionary boundary value problems in mathematical physics and provide a unified treatment for (non-)periodic homogenization problems in thermodynamics,…

We calculate some infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. These sums are related either to the incomplete beta function or to the Bessel functions. The calculations yield interesting new results as by-products, such as…

The approximation of smooth functions with a spectral basis typically leads to rapidly decaying coefficients where the rate of decay depends on the smoothness of the function and vice-versa. The optimal number of degrees of freedom in the…

We study quotients of mapping class groups (\Gamma_{g,1}) of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by terms of their Johnson filtrations, and we show that the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients…

In the present article we study the following problem. Let G be a linear algebraic group over Q, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic lattice and H be an observable Q-subgroup. There is a H-invariant measure $\mu_H$ supported on the closed submanifold…

We provide a uniform bound for the index of cohomology classes in $H^i(F, \mu_\ell^{\otimes i-1})$ when $F$ is a semiglobal field (i.e., a one-variable function field over a complete discretely valued field $K$). The bound is given in terms…

We define the independence ratio and the chromatic number for bounded, self-adjoint operators on an L^2-space by extending the definitions for the adjacency matrix of finite graphs. In analogy to the Hoffman bounds for finite graphs, we…

The aim of this note is to prove a representation theorem for left--invariant functionals in Carnot groups. As a direct consequence, we can also provide a $\Gamma$-convergence result for a smaller class of functionals.

This work develops a dynamic homogenization approach for metamaterials. It finds an approximate macroscopic homogenized equation with constant coefficients posed in space and time; however, the resulting homogenized equation is higher order…

We investigate a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem in one spatial dimension, where heterogeneities appear both on the free boundary and within the interior of the positivity set. Our contributions are twofold. First, we establish…

Multiscale periodic homogenization is extended to an Orlicz-Sobolev setting. It is shown by the reiteraded periodic two-scale convergence method that the sequence of minimizers of a class of highly oscillatory minimizations problems…

We examined the properties of the coefficients of the \cite{lanczos1964} approximation of the $\Gamma$-function with complex values of the free parameter together with the convergence properties of the approximation when using these…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

We prove homogenization for degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations in dimension one in stationary ergodic environments with a quasiconvex and superlinear Hamiltonian of fairly general type. We furthermore show that the effective…

Using a calibration method we prove that, if $\Gamma\subset \Omega$ is a closed regular hypersurface and if the function $g$ is discontinuous along $\Gamma$ and regular outside, then the function $u_{\beta}$ which solves $$ \begin{cases}…

In this article, we propose a geometric framework dedicated to the study of van Kampen diagrams of graph products of groups. As an application, we find information on the word and the conjugacy problems. The main new result of the paper…
