We construct viscosity solutions to the nonlinear evolution equation \eqref{p} below which generalizes the motion of level sets by mean curvature (the latter corresponds to the case $p = 1$) using the regularization scheme as in \cite{ES1}…

We show that the Hamiltonian dynamics of the self-interacting, abelian p-form theory in D=2p+2 dimensional space-time gives rise to the quasi-local structure. Roughly speaking, it means that the field energy is localized but on closed…

In a previous paper (physics/0203061) ''Floating bodies of equilibrium I'' I have shown that there exist two-dimensional non-circular cross-sections of bodies of homogeneous densities rho not equal 1/2 which can float in any orientation in…

We obtain new concavity results, up to a suitable transformation, for a class of quasi-linear equations in a convex domain involving the $p$-Laplace operator and a general nonlinearity satisfying concavity type assumptions. This provides an…

The paper aims at investigating two types of decay structure for linear symmetric hyperbolic systems with non-symmetric relaxation. Precisely, the system is of the type $(p,q)$ if the real part of all eigenvalues admits an upper bound…

This work concerns the semilinear wave equation in three space dimensions with a power-like nonlinearity which is greater than cubic, and not quintic (i.e. not energy-critical). We prove that a scale-invariant Sobolev norm of any…

We investigate the behavior of rotating incompressible flows near a non-flat horizontal bottom. In the flat case, the velocity profile is given explicitly by a simple linear ODE. When bottom variations are taken into account, it is governed…
