In this article we further develop the solution theory for the Einstein constraint equations on an n-dimensional, asymptotically Euclidean manifold M with interior boundary S. Building on recent results for both the asymptotically Euclidean…
Marginally outer trapped surfaces (also referred to as apparent horizons) that are stable in 3-dimensional initial data sets obeying the dominant energy condition strictly are known to satisfy an area bound. The main purpose of this note is…
The aim of this work is to study trapped waves and their collisions between two topographic obstacles for the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation. Numerical simulations show that solitary waves remain trapped bouncing back and forth between…
In this paper, we study the coupled Einstein constraint equations on complete manifolds through the conformal method, focusing on non-compact manifolds with flexible asymptotics. This is physically well-motivated by standard cosmological…
In this paper, under spherical symmetry we prove a trapped surface formation criterion for the Einstein-Maxwell-charged scalar field system. We generalize an approach introduced by Christodoulou for studying the Einstein-scalar field. In…
A strongly well-posed initial boundary value problem based upon constraint-preserving boundary conditions of the Sommerfeld type has been established for the harmonic formulation of the vacuum Einstein's equations. These Sommerfeld…

We introduce a proposal to modify Einstein's equations by embedding them in a larger symmetric hyperbolic system. The additional dynamical variables of the modified system are essentially first integrals of the original constraints. The…
A boundary value problem is commonly associated with constraints imposed on a system at its boundary. We advance here an alternative point of view treating the system as interacting "boundary" and "interior" subsystems. This view is…
Hypersurfaces of arbitrary causal character embedded in a spacetime are studied with the aim of extracting necessary and sufficient free data on the submanifold suitable for reconstructing the spacetime metric and its first derivative along…
In a configuration space whose boundary can be identified with a subset of its interior, a boundary condition can relate the behaviour of a function on the boundary and in the interior. Additionally, boundary values can appear as additive…
By means of topological methods, we provide new results on the existence, non-existence, localization and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for systems of perturbed Hammerstein integral equations. In order to illustrate our theoretical…
We revisit the problem of solving the Einstein constraint equations in vacuum by a new method, which allows us to prescribe four scalar quantities, representing the full dynamical degrees of freedom of the constraint system. We show that…
The purpose of the present work is to study (marginally) trapped submanifolds lying in a null hypersurface. Let $(M,g,N)\to\Bm(c)$ be a null hypersurface of a space-time with constant sectional curvature $c$, endowed with a Screen…
We study trapped surfaces from the point of view of local isometric embedding into three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. When a two-surface is embedded into three-dimensional Euclidean space, the problem of finding all surfaces applicable…
Writing the boundary integral equation for an exterior problem of elasticity is subordinate so far to hypotheses on the asymptotical behaviour at infinity of solutions. The sufficient conditions met in the literature are too restrictive and…
