We consider radially symmetric capillary surfaces that are described by bounded generating curves. We use the arc-length representation of the differential equations for these surfaces to allow for vertical points and inflection points…
We study the periodic buckling patterns that emerge when elastic shells are subjected to geometric confinement. Residual swelling provides access to range of shapes (saddles, rolled sheets, cylinders, and spherical sections) which vary in…
We study a two-dimensional free boundary problem that models motility of eukaryotic cells on substrates. This problem consists of an elliptic equation describing the flow of cytoskeleton gel coupled with a convection-diffusion PDE for the…
The aim of these notes is threefold. First, we discuss geometrical aspects of conformal covariance in stochastic Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLEs). This leads us to introduce new ``dipolar'' SLEs, besides the known chordal, radial or…
We study the variational behavior of the total inverse mean curvature of curves with prescribed boundary in the half-plane. We characterize the existence of critical points with prescribed area. We show that such critical points are…
We consider the decay of a metastable domain wall. The transition proceeds through quantum tunneling, and we calculate in arbitrary number of dimensions the preexponential factor multiplying the leading semiclassical exponential expression…
We extend our previous results characterizing the loading properties of a diffusing passive scalar advected by a laminar shear flow in ducts and channels to more general cross-sectional shapes, including regular polygons and smoothed corner…
In this paper we consider developable surfaces which are isometric to planar domains and which are piecewise differentiable, exhibiting folds along curves. The paper revolves around the longstanding problem of existence of the so-called…
The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series…
We study N=1 super Liouville theory on worldsheets with and without boundary. Some basic correlation functions on a sphere or a disc are obtained using the properties of degenerate representations of superconformal algebra. Boundary states…
We study from the numerical point of view, instabilities developed in a fluid layer with a free surface, in a cylindrical container which is non-homogeneously heated from below. In particular we consider the case in which the applied heat…
Process of quantum tunneling of particles in various physical systems can be effectively controlled even by a weak and slow varying in time electromagnetic signal if to adapt specially its shape to a particular system. During an…
Rayleigh-Benard convection in a cylindrical container can take on many different spatial forms. Motivated by the results of Hof, Lucas and Mullin [Phys. Fluids 11, 2815 (1999)], who observed coexistence of several stable states at a single…
We investigate the scalar-wave resonances of systems composed of identical Neumann-type inclusions arranged periodically around a circular ring. Drawing on natural similarities with the undamped Rayleigh-Bloch waves supported by infinite…
We present a simple stochastic algorithm for generating multiplicative processes with multiscaling both in space and in time. With this algorithm we are able to reproduce a synthetic signal with the same space and time correlation as the…
Mathematical modeling of resonant waves propagating in 2D periodic infinite lattices is conducted. Rectangular-cell, triangular-cell and hexagonal-cell lattices are considered. Eigenvalues (here eigenfrequencies) of steady-state problems…
We give estimates for the probability that a chordal, radial or two-sided radial SLE$_\kappa$ curve retreats far from its terminal point after coming close to it, for $\kappa \leq 4$. The estimates are uniform over all initial segments of…
Colloidal particles in polymer solutions and functionalized nanoparticles often exhibit short-range attraction coupled with long-range repulsion (SALR) leading to the spontaneous formation of symmetric patterns. Chiral nanostructures formed…
Recurrence plots exhibit line structures which represent typical behaviour of the investigated system. The local slope of these line structures is connected with a specific transformation of the time scales of different segments of the…
Two boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a semi-infinite strip are considered. The main feature of these problems is that, in addition to the function and its normal derivative on the boundary, the functionals of the…
