In this paper, we obtain a geometric result for composite materials related to elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. In the classical papers Li and Vogelius (2000), and Li and Nirenberg (2003), they assumed that for any…

We prove almost tight bounds on incidences between points and $k$-dimensional varieties of bounded degree in $\R^d$. Our main tools are the Polynomial Ham Sandwich Theorem and induction on both the dimension and the number of points.

In this paper we give a geometric argument for bounding the diameter of a connected compact surface (with boundary) of arbitrary codimension in Euclidean space in terms of Topping's diameter bound for closed surfaces (without boundary). The…

We consider a random diffusion dynamics for an infinite system of hard spheres of two different sizes evolving in $\mathbb{R}^d$, its reversible probability measure, and its projection on the subset of the large spheres. The main feature is…

Standard finite element discretizations of the Richards equation may violate the discrete minimum principle, producing unphysical negative saturations. While existing bound-preserving methods typically rely on computationally expensive…

For any given natural number $k$, this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by $k$ equal-radius disks in terms of the surface's topology. We show that the bounds given here are…
