A new type of perturbative expansion is built in order to give a rigorous derivation and to clarify the range of validity of some commonly used model equations. This model describes the evolution of the modulation of two short and localized…
In this paper, we discuss the modulus of continuity of solutions to Poisson's equation, and give bounds of length and area distortion for some classes of $K$-quasiconformal mappings satisfying Poisson's equations. The obtained results are…
Cavitation refers to the sudden, unstable expansion of a defect or cavity within a material in response to applied loads, when the loads reach a critical threshold. It is widely recognized as a common failure nucleation mechanism in soft…
The problem of the sudden growth and coalescence of voids in elastic media is considered. The Dirichlet energy is minimized among incompressible and invertible Sobolev deformations of a two-dimensional domain having $n$ microvoids of radius…
Cavitation is a common damage mechanism in soft solids. Here, we study this using a phase-separation technique in stretched, elastic solids to controllably nucleate and grow small cavities by several orders of magnitude. The ability to make…
The low elastic modulus of soft materials, combined with geometric nonlinearity and rate dependence, presents significant challenges in the characterization of their mechanical response. We introduce a novel method for measuring the…
We prove an existence result for the Backus interior problem in the Euclidean ball. The problem consists in determining a harmonic function in the ball from the knowledge of the modulus of its gradient on the boundary. The problem is…
Notions of (pointwise) tangential dimension are considered, for measures of R^n. Under regularity conditions (volume doubling), the upper resp. lower dimension at a point x of a measure can be defined as the supremum, resp. infimum, of…
Teichm\"uller's classical mapping problem for plane domains concerns finding a lower bound for the maximal dilatation of a quasiconformal homeomorphism which holds the boundary pointwise fixed, maps the domain onto itself, and maps a given…
Let $F\in W_{loc}^{1,n}(\Omega;\Bbb R^n)$ be a mapping with non-negative Jacobian $J_F(x)=\text{det} DF(x)\ge 0$ a.e. in a domain $\Omega\in \Bbb R^n$. The dilatation of the mapping $F$ is defined, almost everywhere in $\Omega$, by the…
There exists a proper holomorphic mapping between balls of different dimensions such that it does not extend continuously to the boundary. The aim of this paper is to show the same phenomenon occurs for pseudoconvex domains of different…
It is often desirable to summarise a probability measure on a space $X$ in terms of a mode, or MAP estimator, i.e.\ a point of maximum probability. Such points can be rigorously defined using masses of metric balls in the small-radius…
A paper is devoted to study of local behavior of so-called $Q$-mappings including qua\-si\-con\-for\-mal mappings and mappings with bounded distortion. It is showed that, such mappings have removable isolated singularities whenever the grow…
This is a chapter of a forthcoming Lecture Notes in Mathematics "Modern Approaches to Discrete Curvature" edited by L. Najman and P. Romon. It provides a survey on geometric and spectral consequences of curvature bounds. The geometric…
It is argued that in the case of a smooth transition across a (dilaton-driven) curvature bounce the growing mode of the vector fluctuations matches continuously with a decaying mode at later times. Analytical examples of this observation…
This paper is concerned with the uniqueness of inverse acoustic scattering problem for cavities with the modulus of the near-fields. With the aid of the reference ball technique and the superpositions of two point sources as the incident…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We prove a variety of new formulae for modules of finite quasi-projective or finite quasi-injective dimension. These include the Derived Depth Formula, itself an extension of Auslander famous…
Nearly three decades ago, the field of mechanics was cautioned of the obscure nature of cavitation processes in soft materials [Gent, A.N., 1990. Cavitation in rubber: a cautionary tale. Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 63(3)]. Since then,…
We investigate deformations of extremal near-horizon geometries in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory, including various topological terms, and also in D=11 supergravity. By linearizing the field equations and Bianchi identities over the…
Modular equations occur in number theory, but it is less known that such equations also occur in the study of deformation properties of quasiconformal mappings. The authors study two important plane quasiconformal distortion functions,…
