We consider a boundary value problem for the conductivity equation in a bounded domain containing an inclusion which is nearly touching to the domain's boundary. We assume that the domain and the inclusion are disks with conductivity jump…
Experimental data on the propagation of wildfires show that its short-time spread has a double semi-elliptical shape. Our main goal is to show that this shape can be accurately approximated in polar coordinates by choosing suitable…
