We study compressible and incompressible nonlinear elasticity variational problems in a general context. Our main result gives a sufficient condition for an equilibrium to be a global energy minimizer, in terms of convexity properties of…
It is known that weak coupling calculations of absorption or emission by slightly non-extremal D-brane configurations are in exact agreement with semiclassical results for the black holes they describe at strong couplings. We investigate…
We study a class of mean curvature equations $-\mathcal Mu=H+\lambda u^p$ where $\mathcal M$ denotes the mean curvature operator and for $p\geq 1$. We show that there exists an extremal parameter $\lambda^*$ such that this equation admits a…
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. D 97, 104044 (2018)] we pointed out some shortcomings of the standard approach to chameleon theories consisting in treating the small bodies used to test the weak equivalence principle (WEP) as test…
When two particles collide near a black hole, the energy in their center of mass frame can, under certain conditions, grow unbounded. This is the Banados-Silk-West effect. We show that this effect retains its validity even if some force…
This article is devoted to the study of certain models for phase transitions involving nonlocal energies. A first part is concerned with to the asymptotic analysis of a system of fractional elliptic equations of Allen-Cahn type as a…
We are concerned with the energy equality for weak solutions to Newtonian and non-Newtonian incompressible fluids. In particular, the results obtained for non-Newtonian fluids, after restriction to the Newtonian case, equal or improve the…
The variational approach to fracture is effective for simulating the nucleation and propagation of complex crack patterns, but is computationally demanding. The model is a strongly nonlinear non-convex variational inequality that demands…
In this paper, we study the nonexistence of global weak solutions for a wave equation with nonlinear memory and damping terms. We give an answer to an open problem posed in [M. D'Abbicco, A wave equation with structural damping and…
We demonstrate that non-exponential decays of unstable systems can be understood as yet another example of nonextensivity encountered in many physical systems and as such can be characterized by the nonextensivity parameter q.
This paper deals with existence of a nontrivial positive solution to systems of equations involving nontrivial nonhomogeneous terms and critical or subcritical nonlinearities. Via a minimization argument we prove existence of a positive…
The weak equivalence principle is studied in a space with noncommutativity of coordinates and noncommutativity of momenta. We find conditions on the parameters of noncommutativity which give the possibility to recover the equivalence…
We study coagulation equations under non-equilibrium conditions which are induced by the addition of a source term for small cluster sizes. We consider both discrete and continuous coagulation equations, and allow for a large class of…
Closed-system quantum annealing is expected to sometimes fail spectacularly in solving simple problems for which the gap becomes exponentially small in the problem size. Much less is known about whether this gap scaling also impedes…
I study the enhancon mechanism for fractional D-branes in conifold and orbifold backgrounds and show how it can resolve the ``repulson'' singularity of these geometries. In particular I show that the consistency of the excision process…
For given strongly local Dirichlet forms with possibly degenerate symmetric (sub)-elliptic matrix, we show the existence of weak solutions to the stochastic differential equations (associated with the Dirichlet forms) starting from all…
We obtain improved regularity results for solutions to a nonlocal dead-core problem at branching points. Our approach, which does not rely on the maximum principle, introduces a new strategy for analyzing two-phase problems within the local…

In this article we establish the existence of weak solutions to the shallow medium equation. We proceed by an approximation argument. First we truncate the coefficients of the equation from above and below. Then we prove convergence of the…
