Motivated by the problem of solving the Einstein equations, we discuss high order finite difference discretizations of first order in time, second order in space hyperbolic systems.Particular attention is paid to the case when first order…

We start by revisiting the derivation of the variational formulae for the functional assigning to a bounded regular domain in a Riemannian manifold its first Dirichlet eigenvalue and extend it to (not necessarily bounded) domains in certain…
We establish the rectifiability of measures satisfying a linear PDE constraint. The obtained rectifiability dimensions are optimal for many usual PDE operators, including all first-order systems and all second-order scalar operators. In…
In [4], we gave a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the basic Laplacian acting on basic $1$-forms defined on a compact manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow. In this paper, we extend this result to the case…
We prove that the nodal set (zero set) of a solution of a generalized Dirac equation on a Riemannian manifold has codimension 2 at least. If the underlying manifold is a surface, then the nodal set is discrete. We obtain a quick proof of…
We study the sigma-finite measures in the space of vector-valued distributions on the manifold $X$ with Laplace transform $$\Psi(f)=\exp\{-\theta\int_X\ln||f(x)||dx\}, \theta>0.$$ We also consider the weak limit of Haar measures on the…
The paper is aimed at analysing a singular perturbation of the Navier-Stokes equations on a compact closed manifold. The case of compact smooth manifolds with boundary under the Dirichlet conditions is also included. Global existence and…
We consider a perturbed ordinary differential equation where the perturbation is only significant when a one-dimensional null recurrent diffusion is close to zero. We investigate the first order correction to the unperturbed system and…
PDE-constrained optimal control problems require regularisation to ensure well-posedness, introducing small perturbations that make the solutions challenging to approximate accurately. We propose a finite element approach that couples both…
