We obtain a sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequality for nonlocal $s$-perimeters, uniform with respect to $s$ bounded away from $0$. This allows us to address local and global minimality properties of balls with respect to the…
We look for minimizers of the buckling load problem with perimeter constraint in any dimension. In dimension 2, we show that the minimizing plates are convex; in higher dimension, by passing through a weaker formulation of the problem, we…
The perturbative stability of catenoidal soap films formed between parallel, equal radii, coaxial rings is studied using analytical and semi-analytical methods. Using a theorem on the nature of eigenvalues for a class of Sturm--Liouville…
Surface nanobubbles (NBs) are stable gaseous phases in liquids that form at the interface with solid substrates. They have been particularly intriguing for their high stability that contradicts theoretical expectations and their potential…

In this paper the author studies the isoperimetric problem in $\re^n$ with perimeter density $|x|^p$ and volume density $1.$ We settle completely the case $n=2,$ completing a previous work by the author: we characterize the case of equality…
Bishop's volume comparison theorem states that a compact $n$-manifold with Ricci curvature larger than the standard $n$-sphere has less volume. While the traditional proof uses geodesic balls, we present another proof using isoperimetric…

We present a black-box method to numerically investigate the linear stability of arbitrary multi-physics problems. While the user just has to enter the system's residual in weak formulation, i.e. by a finite element method, all required…
In this work we study the evolution of the free boundary between two different fluids in a porous medium where the permeability is a two dimensional step function. The medium can fill the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ or a bounded strip…

Experiments on generation of 1, 2, 4, and 6 sonoluminescent bubbles in water with an external ultrasound source in an acoustic sphere resonator with glass walls have been carried out. Theoretical examination has shown that the observed…
A coarse-grained multi-blob description of polymer solutions is presented, based on soft, transferable effective interactions between bonded and non-bonded blobs. The number of blobs is chosen such that the blob density does not exceed…
We investigate the mechanical behavior of particle-stabilized droplets using micropipette aspiration. We observe that droplets stabilized with amphiphilic dumbbell-shaped particles exhibit a two-stage response to increasing suction…
We prove that for a symmetric, strictly log-convex density on the real line, there are four possible types of perimeter-minimizing triple bubbles. This extends the work of Bongiovanni et al., which shows that there are two possible types of…
A new protocol for linearization of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is proposed and the resultant electrostatic equation coincides formally with the Debye-Huckel equation, the solution of which is well known for many electrostatic problems.…
This key-issues review is a plea for a new focus on simpler and more realistic models of glass-forming fluids. It seems to me that we have too often been led astray by sophisticated mathematical models that beautifully capture some of the…
We introduce a new variational method for the study of stability in the isoperimetric inequality. The method is quite general as it relies on a penalization technique combined with the regularity theory for quasiminimizers of the perimeter.…
An increasing number of research topics and applications ask for a precise measurement of the size distribution of small bubbles in a liquid - and hence for reliable and automated image analysis. However, due to the strong mismatch between…
We obtain in arbitrary codimension a removability result on the order of singularity of weak limits and bubbles of Willmore immersions measured by the second residue. This permits to reduce significantly the number of possible bubbling…
