Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$ and let $\Omega^n(F)$ be the $F$-vector space of $n$-differential forms. In this work, we will study the annihilator of differential forms, give specific descriptions for special cases and show a…
Let $n\geq 1$, and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open and connected set with finite Lebesgue measure. Among functions of bounded variation in $\Omega$ we introduce the class of \emph{minimally singular} functions. Inspired by the…
We establish the rectifiability of measures satisfying a linear PDE constraint. The obtained rectifiability dimensions are optimal for many usual PDE operators, including all first-order systems and all second-order scalar operators. In…
We study the functor $\operatorname{Def}_E^k$ of infinitesimal deformations of a locally free sheaf $E$ of $\mathcal{O}_X$-modules on a smooth variety $X$, such that at least $k$ independent sections lift to the deformed sheaf, where…
Using the recently developed so-called White Bear version of Rosenfeld's Fundamental Measure Theory we calculate the depletion potentials between a hard-sphere colloidal particle in a solvent of small hard spheres and simple models of…
In this paper we consider a minimization problem of the type $$ I_{\beta,p}(D;\Omega)=\inf\biggl\{\int_\Omega \lvert{D\phi}\rvert^pdx+\beta \int_{\partial^* \Omega}\lvert{\phi}\rvert^pd\mathcal{H}^{n-1},\; \phi \in W^{1,p}(\Omega),\;\phi…
Understanding how bound states in the continuum (BICs) emerge in periodic metasurfaces is essential for the controlled design of high-Q resonances and their systematic manipulation. Here, we investigate the singular value decomposition…
Martingale transport plans on the line are known from Beiglbock & Juillet to have an irreducible decomposition on a (at most) countable union of intervals. We provide an extension of this decomposition for martingale transport plans in R^d,…
We extend the recently introduced divergence-conforming immersed boundary (DCIB) method [1] to fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving closed co-dimension one solids. We focus on capsules and vesicles, whose discretization is…
In this survey we collect some recent results obtained by the authors and collaborators concerning the fine structure of functions of bounded deformation (BD). These maps are $\mathrm{L}^1$-functions with the property that the symmetric…
We investigate the finite bending and the associated bending instability of an incompressible dielectric slab subject to a combination of applied voltage and axial compression, using nonlinear electro-elasticity theory and its incremental…
We study the two-weighted off-diagonal compactness of commutators of rough singular integral operators $T_\Omega$ that are associated with a kernel $\Omega\in L^q(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$. We establish a characterisation of compactness of the…
In this work, we study the effective behavior of a two-dimensional variational model within finite crystal plasticity for high-contrast bilayered composites. Precisely, we consider materials arranged into periodically alternating thin…
Everyday experience confirms the tendency of adhesive films to detach from spheroidal regions of rigid substrates -- what is a petty frustration when placing a sticky bandage onto an elbow or knee is a more serious matter in the coating and…
We propose an enhancement to Benders decomposition (BD) that generates valid inequalities for the convex hull of the Benders reformulation, addressing the limitation that classical BD cuts are typically tight only for the continuous…
We deal with decay and boundedness properties of radial functions belonging to Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel spaces. In detail we investigate the surprising interplay of regularity and decay. Our tools are atomic decompositions in combination…
We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…
Let $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be open and $A$ a complex uniformly strictly accretive $d\times d$ matrix-valued function on $\Omega$ with $L^{\infty}$ coefficients. Consider the divergence-form operator ${\mathscr L}^{A}=-{\rm…
We study the discretisation of a uniaxial (rank-one) reduction of the Oldroyd-B model for dilute polymer solutions, in which the conformation tensor is represented as $\sig = \vec b \otimes \vec b$. Building on structural analogies with…
We consider an anisotropic version of Baxter's model of `sticky hard spheres', where a nonuniform adhesion is implemented by adding, to an isotropic surface attraction, an appropriate `dipolar sticky' correction (positive or negative,…
