We analyze and test using Fourier extensions that minimize a Hilbert space norm for the purpose of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces. In particular, we prove that the approach is arbitrarily high-order and also show…
English version of abstract: The dynamic optimization problems treated by the calculus of variations are usually solved with the help of the 2nd order Euler-Lagrange differential equations. These equations are, generally speaking,…
Most physical systems are modelled by an ordinary or a partial differential equation, like the n-body problem in celestial mechanics. In some cases, for example when studying the long term behaviour of the solar system or for complex…
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) have long been recognized as powerful tools for image processing and analysis, providing a framework to model and exploit structural and geometric properties inherent in visual data. Over the years,…
The main objects of this paper include some degenerate and nonlocal elliptic operators which naturally arise in the conformal invariant theory of Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds. These operators generally reflect the correspondence between…
We study the non-linear Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Poincar\'e-Einstein filling problem. For even dimensional manifolds the range of this non-local map is described in terms of a rank two "Dirichlet-to Neumann tensor" along the…
In this paper, we describe a geometric setting for higher-order lagrangian problems on Lie groups. Using left-trivialization of the higher-order tangent bundle of a Lie group and an adaptation of the classical Skinner-Rusk formalism, we…
The paper studies a method for solving elliptic partial differential equations posed on hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N=2,3$. The method builds upon the formulation introduced in Bertalmio et al., J. Comput. Phys., 174 (2001),…
The conservation laws of electromagnetism, and implicitly all theories built from quadratic Lagrangians, are extended to a continuum of nonlocal versions. These are associated with symmetries of a class of equal time field correlation…

A description of how the principle of stationary action reproduces itself in terms of the intrinsic geometry of variational equations is proposed. A notion of stationary points of an internal Lagrangian is introduced. A connection between…

Diakonov formulated a model of a primordial Dirac spinor field interacting gravitationally within the geometric framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory (PGT). Thus, the gravitational field variables are the orthonormal coframe (tetrad) and…
These are expository notes from the 2008 Srni Winter School. They have two purposes: (1) to give a quick introduction to exterior differential systems (EDS), which is a collection of techniques for determining local existence to systems of…
Lagrangian reduction by stages is used to derive the Euler-Poincar\'e equations for the nondissipative coupled motion and micromotion of complex fluids. We mainly treat perfect complex fluids (PCFs) whose order parameters are continuous…
