We present a fast sweeping method for a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations that arise from time-independent problems in optimal control theory. The basic method in two dimensions uses a four point stencil and is extremely simple to…

We give sufficient conditions on initial and target measures supported on the sphere $\S^n$ to ensure the solution to the optimal transport problem with the cost $|x-y|^2/2$ is a diffeomorphism.
We consider the problem of finding an optimal transport plan between an absolutely continuous measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a finitely supported measure $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ when the transport cost is the…
For many optimization problems it is possible to define a distance metric between problem variables that correlates with the likelihood and strength of interactions between the variables. For example, one may define a metric so that the…
Recently, we have experimentally demonstrated a continuous loading mechanism for an optical dipole trap from a guided atomic beam [1]. The observed evolution of the number of atoms and temperature in the trap are consequences of the unusual…
Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) is a mesoscopic particle method which allows to select the level of resolution at which a fluid is simulated. The numerical integration of its equations of motion still suffers from the lack of…
Solutions to the differential equations of linear elasticity in the continuum limit in arbitrary crystal symmetry are known only for steady-state dislocations of arbitrary character, i.e. line defects moving at constant velocity. Troubled…

The distance of closest approach of hard particles is a key parameter of their interaction and plays an important role in the resulting phase behavior. For non-spherical particles, the distance of closest approach depends on orientation,…
Scattering of a time harmonic anti-plane shear wave due to either a pair of crack tips or a pair of rigid constraint tips on square lattice is considered. The two problems correspond to the so called zero-offset case of scattering due to a…
Explicit solutions of the two-dimensional floating body problem (bodies that can float in all positions) for relative density different from 1/2 and of the tire track problem (tire tracks of a bicycle, which do not allow to determine, which…

Snapshot matrices built from solutions to hyperbolic partial differential equations exhibit slow decay in singular values, whereas fast decay is crucial for the success of projection- based model reduction methods. To overcome this problem,…
Failure of amorphous materials is characterized by the emergence of dissipation. The connection between particle dynamics, dissipation, and overall material rheology, however, has still not been elucidated. Here, we take a new approach…
We perform via $\Gamma$-convergence a 2d-1d dimension reduction analysis of a single-slip elastoplastic body in large deformations. Rigid plastic and elastoplastic regimes are considered. In particular, we show that limit deformations can…
