Many systems in nature have arborescent and bifurcated structures such as trees, fern, snails, lungs, the blood vessel system, etc. and look self-similar over a wide range of scales. Which are the mechanical and dynamic properties that…

We consider linear and obstacle problems driven by a nonlocal integral operator, for which nonlocal interactions are restricted to a ball of finite radius. These type of operators are used to model anomalous diffusion and, for a special…

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…

Numerous tasks in imaging and vision can be formulated as variational problems over vector-valued maps. We approach the relaxation and convexification of such vectorial variational problems via a lifting to the space of currents. To that…

By one of the most fundamental principles in physics, a dynamical system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. This leads to the formation of the Euler-Lagrange equations, which serve as a model of how the system…

The relative equilibria of a symmetric Hamiltonian dynamical system are the critical points of the so-called augmented Hamiltonian. The underlying geometric structure of the system is used to decompose the critical point equations and…
