This work continues an ongoing effort to compare non-smooth optimization problems in abs-normal form to Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints (MPCCs). We study general Nonlinear Programs with equality and inequality…
The linear marginal instability of an axisymmetric MHD Taylor-Couette flow of infinite vertical extension is considered. The dependence of the flow stability on magnetic Prandtl number, Pm, and gap-width between rotating cylinders is…
In this paper, we study the stability of Minkowski inequality for nearly spherical domains that are $C^1$ close to the ball. We show the stability inequalities between the positive part of the $\sigma_k$ curvature integrals for $C^1$…
For every irrational real $\alpha$, let $M(\alpha) = \sup_{n\geq 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or $\infty$, if unbounded). The $2$-adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as…
In this paper, we establish the existence of a unique "regular" weak solution to turbulent flows governed by a general family of $\alpha$ models with critical regularizations. In particular this family contains the simplified Bardina model…
This paper describes an experimental study of filtration of a colloidal suspension using microfluidic devices. A suspension of micrometer-scale colloids flows through parallel slit-shaped pores at fixed pressure drop. Clogs and cakes are…
The empirical measure flow of a McKean-Vlasov $n$-particle system with common noise is a measure-valued process whose law solves an associated martingale problem. We obtain a stability result for the sequence of martingale problems: all…
We prove that ideal chiral hydrodynamics, as derived from chiral kinetic theory, is acausal and its initial-value problem is ill-posed both in the linearized case around a local equilibrium solution and also in the full nonlinear regime.…
We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein-Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The transmission mechanism…
In the article titled "Branching-Coalescing Particle Systems" published in Probability Theory and Related Fields 131(3), pages 376-414, (2005), Theorem 7 as stated there is incorrect. Indeed, we show by counterexample that the equality that…
This work is motivated by the interest in determining the effect of the micro-anatomy of the spinal subarachnoid space on the cerebrospinal fluid flow and on the associated transport of solutes. To that aim, we focus on a canonical model…
In this paper we examine the linear stability of equilibrium solutions to incompressible Euler's equation in 2- and 3-dimensions. The space of perturbations is split into two classes - those that preserve the topology of vortex lines and…
We prove a homological stability theorem for congruence subgroups of symplectic groups. From this theorem, we deduce a generalization of a theorem of Borel showing that certain homology groups of a congruence subgroup do not depend on the…
We analyze the structure of fluctuations near critical points and spinodals in mean-field and near-mean-field systems. Unlike systems that are non-mean-field, for which a fluctuation can be represented by a single cluster in a properly…
An inequality proved firstly by Remak and then generalized by Friedman shows that there are only finitely many number fields with a fixed signature and whose regulator is less than a prescribed bound. Using this inequality, Astudillo, Diaz…
In their comment, Murphy et al. (arxiv:0708.3677) criticize the fitting procedure we used in two previous papers [Srianand et al. 2004(Paper I) and Chand et al. 2004 (Paper II)] and conclude that the above papers offers no stringent test to…
This paper is a survey, with few proofs, of ideas and notions related to self-similarity of groups, semi-groups and their actions. It attempts to relate these concepts to more familiar ones, such as fractals, self-similar sets, and…
We observe that stable integral simplicial volume of closed manifolds gives an upper bound for the rank gradient of the corresponding fundamental groups.
We consider two Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models for the approximation of large scales of the equations of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD in the sequel). We study two $\alpha$-models, which are obtained adapting to the MHD the approach by…
The Muskat problem models the filtration of two incompressible immiscible fluids of different characteristics in porous media. In this paper, we consider both the 2D and 3D setting of two fluids of different constant densities and different…
