As a continuation of our previous work, we derive the optimal flux phase which minimizes the ground state energy in the one-dimensional many particle systems, when the number of particles is odd in the absence of on-site interaction and…
The conjecture is verified that the optimum, energy minimizing magnetic flux for a half-filled band of electrons hopping on a planar, bipartite graph is $\pi$ per square plaquette. We require {\it only} that the graph has periodicity in one…

In this paper an iterative minimization method is proposed to approximate the minimizer to the double-well energy functional arising in the phase-field theory. The method is based on a quadratic functional posed over a nonempty closed…
We consider the optimal arrangement of two diffusion materials in a bounded open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ in order to maximize the energy. The diffusion problem is modeled by the $p$-Laplacian operator. It is well known that this…
We apply a phase field approach for a general shape optimization problem of a stationary Navier-Stokes flow. To be precise we add a multiple of the Ginzburg--Landau energy as a regularization to the objective functional and relax the…
