We determine the submodule of finite support of the tensor product of two modules M and N over a local ring and estimate its length in terms of $M$ and $N$. Also, we compute higher local cohomology modules of tensor products in a serial of…
If a finite element mesh contains concave elements, it is said to tangled. Tangled meshes can occur during mesh generation, mesh optimization, and large deformation simulations, and will lead to erroneous results during finite element…

We consider the one-constant Landau - de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals. The order parameter is a traceless tensor field $\mathbf{Q}$, which is constrained to be uniaxial: $\mathbf{Q} = s (\mathbf{n}\otimes\mathbf{n} - d^{-1}…
