This work introduces liftings and their associated Young measures as new tools to study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of pairs $(u_j,Du_j)j$ for $(u_j)_j \in \mathrm{BV}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$ under weak* convergence. These tools are…
This work establishes a characterization theorem for (generalized) Young measures generated by symmetric derivatives of functions of bounded deformation (BD) in the spirit of the classical Kinderlehrer-Pedregal theorem. Our result places…
We study a characterization of BV and Sobolev functions via nonlocal functionals in metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality. Compared with previous works, we consider more general functionals.…
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 are interested in the homogenization of elastic-electric coupling equation, with rapidly oscillating coefficients, in periodically perforated piezoelectric body. We justify the two first terms in the usual asymptotic development of the…
We present a very simple and explicit procedure for nonlocalizing the action of any theory which can be formulated perturbatively. When the resulting nonlocal field theory is quantized using the functional formalism --- with unit measure…
Let $\mu$ be a non-negative Borel measure on $R^d$ satisfying that the measure of a cube in $R^d$ is smaller than the length of its side raised to the $n$-th power, $0<n\leq d$. In this article we study the class of weights related to the…
In this paper, we introduce a nonlocal, variational model for thin films. We consider convolution-type functionals defined on a thin domain whose thickness is of order $\gamma$, where the effective interactions range between points is of…
It is shown, under the assumption of possibility to perform an arbitrary local operation, that all nonlocal variables related to two or more separate sites can be measured instantaneously, except for a finite time required for bringing to…
In this work, we review the connection between the subjects of homogenization and nonlocal modeling and discuss the relevant computational issues. By further exploring this connection, we hope to promote the cross fertilization of ideas…
Testing the homogeneity between two samples of functional data is an important task. While this is feasible for intensely measured functional data, we explain why it is challenging for sparsely measured functional data and show what can be…
We study the multifractal analysis of self-similar measures arising from random homogeneous iterated function systems. Under the assumption of the uniform strong separation condition, we see that this analysis parallels that of the…
The quantum measurement problem still finds no consensus. Nonlocal interferometry provides an unprecedented experimental probe by entangling two photons in the "measurement state" (MS). The experiments show that each photon "measures" the…
Taking up a variational viewpoint, we present some nonlocal-to-local asymptotic results for various kinds of integral functionals. The content of the thesis comprises the contributions first appeared in some research papers in collaboration…
The two-scale computational homogenization method is proposed for modelling of locally periodic fluid-saturated media subjected a to large deformation induced by quasistatic loading. The periodic heterogeneities are relevant to the…
Given a function $f\in C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ of linear growth, we give a new way of representing accumulation points of \begin{equation} \int_\Omega f(v_i(z))d\mu(z), \end{equation} where $\mu\in \mathcal{M}^+(\Omega)$, and $(v_i)_{i\in…
In astronomy, interferometry of light collected by separate telescopes is often performed by physically bringing the optical paths together in the form of Young's double-slit experiment. Optical loss severely limits the efficiency of this…
We prove that the Young measure associated with a Borel function f is a probability distribution of the random variable f(U), where U has a uniform distribution on the domain of f. As an auxiliary result, the fact that Young measures…
The results on $\Gamma$-limits of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals with bounded cohesive surface terms are extended to the case of vector-valued functions. In this framework, we prove an integral representation result for the…
In classical optics, Young's double-slit experiment with colored coherent light gives rise to individual interference fringes for each light frequency, referring to single-photon interference. However, two-photon double-slit interference…
