We establish $L_{q,p}$-estimates and solvability for mixed Dirichlet-conormal problems for parabolic equations in a cylindrical Reifenberg-flat domain with a rough time-dependent separation.
Conditions, related to the so-called bending problem are considered for hypersurfaces of a pseudo-Euclidean space. Corresponding theorems are proved.
The analogy between soap films thinning under border capillary suction and lamellar stacks of surfactant bilayers dehydrated by osmotic stress is explored, in particular in the highly dehydrated limit where the soap film becomes a Newton…
Here we provide an overview of what is known, and what is not known, about an interesting dynamical system known as the Kepler-Heisenberg problem. The main idea is to pose a version of the classical Kepler problem of planetary motion, but…
We consider $C^1$-continuous approximations of the Kirchhoff plate problem in combination with a mesh dependent augmented Lagrangian method on a simply supported Signorini boundary.
We present about twenty conjectures, problems and questions about flat manifolds. Many of them build the bridges between the flat world and representation theory of the finite groups, hyperbolic geometry and dynamical systems.
We combine experiments and theoretical derivations to study the evolution of a stretched soap bubble and compare it with an open film to highlight the effect of volume conservation. We identify a critical length for both surfaces, beyond…
We study a free boundary problem describing a tubular soap film bridge driven by an electrostatic force. To realize the electrostatic force, the soap film bridge is placed inside an outer metal cylinder and a voltage difference between this…
We consider the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem $\partial_t u - F(t,x,u,Du,D^2 u) = 0 on (0,T)\times \R^n$ in viscosity sense. Comparison is established for bounded semi-continuous (sub-/super-)solutions under structural assumption (3.14) of the…
The perturbative stability of catenoidal soap films formed between parallel, equal radii, coaxial rings is studied using analytical and semi-analytical methods. Using a theorem on the nature of eigenvalues for a class of Sturm--Liouville…
This article concerns a natural generalization of the classical asymptotic Plateau problem in hyperbolic space. We prove the existence of a smooth complete hypersurface of constant scalar curvature with a prescribed asymptotic boundary at…
Sufficient conditions for a discrete spectrum of the biharmonic equation in a two-dimensional peak-shaped domain are established. Different boundary conditions from Kirchhoff's plate theory are imposed on the boundary and the results depend…
We address the direct scattering problem for a penetrable obstacle in an infinite elastic two--dimensional Kirchhoff--Love plate. Under the assumption that the plate's thickness is small relative to the wavelength of the incident wave, the…
We study generalized minimizers in the soap film capillarity model introduced in [arXiv:1807.05200,arXiv:1907.00551]. Collapsed regions of generalized minimizers are shown to be smooth outside of dimensionally small singular sets, which are…
The present study aims to investigate the motion of buoyant rings in vertical soap films. Thickness differences and related bi-dimensional densities are considered as the motor leading to bi-dimensional buoyancy. We show how this effect can…
After the heroic epoch of Causality Theory, problems concerning the smoothability of time functions and Cauchy hypersurfaces remained as unanswered folk questions. Just recently solved, our aim is to discuss the state of the art on this…
We describe the extension of a "viscous froth" model to the dynamics of a wet foam in a Hele-Shaw cell. The two-dimensional model includes the friction experienced by the soap films as they are dragged along the cell walls, while retaining…
We consider the $p$-Laplacian equation $-\Delta_p u=1$ for $1<p<2$, on a regular bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$, with $N\ge2$, under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the spirit of Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem and…
In this paper we give a general geometrical framework for working with problems that can be described as a structure-preserving submersion defined on a suitable space with a geometrical structure. We give many examples of how to formulate…
A problem concerning the shift of roots of a system of homogeneous algebraic equations is investigated. Its conservation and decomposition of a multiple root into simple roots are discussed.
