We consider a system of spherical particles interacting by means of a pair potential equal to a finite constant for interparticle distances smaller than the sphere diameter and zero outside. The model may be a prototype for the interaction…

We study the impact of a projectile onto a bed of 3 mm grains immersed in an index-matched fluid. Specifically, we vary the amount of prestrain on the sample, strengthening the force chains within the system. We find this affects only the…
We establish injectivity results for three different spherical means on an $H$-type group, $G$. First is the standard spherical means which is defined to be the average of a function over the spheres in the complement of the center, second…
