Modeling contact between deformable solids is a fundamental problem in computer animation, mechanical design, and robotics. Existing methods based on $C^0$-discretizations -- piece-wise linear or polynomial surfaces -- suffer from…
In this paper, we study a class of singular double phase problems defined on Minkowski spaces in terms of Finsler manifolds and with right-hand sides that allow a certain type of critical growth for such problems. Under very general…
We consider N-body problems with homogeneous potential $1/r^{2\kappa}$ where $\kappa\in(0,1)$, including the Newtonian case ($\kappa=1/2$). Given $R>0$ and $T>0$, we find a uniform upper bound for the minimal action of paths binding in time…

When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions which depend on the characteristic surface deformation…

We introduce a new sharp interface model for the flow of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluids. In contrast to classical models for two-phase flows we prescribe an evolution law for the interfaces that takes diffusional effects…

The aim of this paper is to prove global in time existence of weak solutions for a viscoelastic phase separation. We consider the case with singular potentials and degenerate mobilities. Our model couples the diffusive interface model with…
A ring may be regarded as a torus with r << R, where R is the major radius and r is the minor radius. When such a ring is placed on a rough rod and released with some angular velocity, it may continue to vertically spin around the rod for…
