We study the regularity of the $p$-Poisson equation $$ \Delta_p u = h, \quad h\in L^q $$ in the plane. In the case $p>2$ and $2<q<\infty$ we obtain the sharp H\"older exponent for the gradient. In the other cases we come arbitrarily close…
Periodic orbits for the classical $\phi^4$ theory on the one dimensional lattice are systematically constructed by extending the normal modes of the harmonic theory, for periodic, fixed and free boundary conditions. Through the process, we…
We study the three-dimensional structural stability of shock waves for the equations of elastodynamics governing isentropic flows of compressible inviscid elastic materials. By nonlinear structural stability of a shock wave we mean the…
We discuss various representations of planar $p$-harmonic systems of equations and their solutions. For coordinate functions of $p$-harmonic maps we analyze signs of their Hessians, the Gauss curvature of $p$-harmonic surfaces, the length…
Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and…
A rigidity theory is developed for the Euclidean and non-Euclidean placements of countably infinite simple graphs in R^d with respect to the classical l^p norms, for d>1 and 1<p<\infty. Generalisations are obtained for the Laman and…
It is well known that the linear stability of Lagrangian elliptic equilateral triangle homographic solutions in the classical planar three-body problem depends on the mass parameter $\bb=27(m_1m_2+m_2m_3+m_3m_1)/(m_1+m_2+m_3)^2\in [0,9]$…
We study a nonlinear system made up of an elliptic equation of blended singular/degenerate type and Poisson's equation with a lowly integrable source. We prove the existence of a weak solution in any space dimension and, chiefly, derive an…
In this paper we formulate the theory of nonlinear elasticity in a geometrically intrinsic manner using exterior calculus and bundle-valued differential forms. We represent kinematics variables, such as velocity and rate-of-strain, as…
We study the effective elastic behavior of incompatibly prestrained plates, where the prestrain is independent of thickness as well as uniform through the thickness. We model such plates as three-dimensional elastic bodies with a prescribed…
We study the connection between conjugations of a special kind of dynamical systems, called P-configurations, and solutions to homogeneous Cauchy type functional equations. We find that any two regular P-configurations are conjugate by a…
Let $X$ be either a general hypersurface of degree $n+1$ in $\mathbb P^n$ or a general $(2,n)$ complete intersection in $\mathbb P^{n+1}, n\geq 4$. We construct balanced rational curves on $X$ of all high enough degrees. If $n=3$ or $g=1$,…
We consider the steady-state Boussinesq system in the whole three-dimensional space, with the action of external forces and the gravitational acceleration. First, for $3<p\leq +\infty$ we prove the existence of weak $L^p$-solutions.…
The minimal infinitesimal rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in the non-Euclidean spaces (R^2, ||.||_q) are characterised in terms of (2,2)-tight graphs. Specifically, a generically placed bar-joint framework (G,p) in the plane is minimally…
In this article, we prove that solutions to a problem in nonlinear elasticity corresponding to small initial displacements exist globally in the exterior of a nontrapping obstacle. The medium is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and…
In this paper we consider nonlinear parabolic systems with elliptic part which can be also degenerate. We prove optimal error estimates for smooth enough solutions. The main novelty, with respect to previous results, is that we obtain the…

Given a closed two dimensional manifold, we prove a general existence result for a class of elliptic PDEs with exponential nonlinearities and negative Dirac deltas on the right-hand side, extending a theory recently obtained for the regular…
We establish discrete Korn type inequalities for particle systems within the general class of objective structures that represents a far reaching generalization of crystal lattice structures. For space filling configurations whose symmetry…
These lecture notes grew out of a series of lectures given by the second named author in short courses in Toulouse, Matsumoto, and Darmstadt. The main aim is to explain some aspects of the theory of "Regularity structures" developed…
