In this paper we characterize the limiting behavior of the principal eigenvalue, $\s_1[-\D,\b,\O]$, of the boundary value problem \eqref{1.1} as the Lebesgue measure of the underlying domain, $\O$, tends to zero. Naturally, the domains $\O$…

In this article, we investigate the rate at which the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of geodesic balls decreases as the radius approaches infinity. We prove that if the conformal infinity of an asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein manifold is of…

This paper is concerned with the behavior of the ergodic constant associated with convex and superlinear Hamilton-Jacobi equation in a periodic environment which is perturbed either by medium with increasing period or by a random Bernoulli…

The reflectionless transmission resonances in above-barrier reflection of Bose-Einstein condensates by the Rosen-Morse potential are considered using the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii approach. Applying an exact third order nonlinear…

Hyperbolic systems of the first and higher-order partial differential equations appear in many multiphysics problems. We will be dealing with a wave propagation problem in a piece-wise homogeneous medium. Mathematically, the problem is…

We study the semi-classical limits of the first eigenfunction of a positive second order operator on a compact Riemannian manifold when the diffusion constant $\epsilon$ goes to zero. We assume that the first order term is given by a vector…

We consider the full three-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity with applied magnetic field, in the regime where the intensity of the applied field is close to the "first critical field" $H_{c_1}$ at which vortex filaments…

Using an approximate likelihood method adapted to band--power estimates, we analyze the ensemble of first generation cosmic microwave background anisotropy experiments to deduce constraints over a six--dimensional parameter space describing…

This comment concerns the homogenization of 2D dielectric photonic crystals, and the fact that the limits $k\to 0$ ($k$ is the Bloch vector) and $\epsilon \to +\infty $ do not commute for $p$-polarized waves

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary and $n\geq 2$. Assume that ${\mathrm{Ric}(M)\ge (n-1)K}$ for some ${K>0}$ and that $\partial M$ has nonnegative mean curvature with respect to the outward…

By studying the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalues of Laplace and p-Laplace operators on a closed convex hypersurface $M^n$ which evolves under inverse mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, the isoperimetric lower bounds for…

The dynamics of a two-dimensional superconductor under a constant electric field $E$ is studied by using the gauge/gravity correspondence. The pair breaking current induced by $E$ first increases to a peak value and then decreases to a…

Inspired by [25], this paper investigates subwavelength bandgaps in phononic crystals consisting of periodically arranged hard elastic materials embedded in a soft elastic background medium. Our contributions are threefold. First, we…

A superconductive model characterized by a third order parabolic operator L" is analysed. When the viscous terms, represented by higher - order deriva- tives, tend to zero, a hyperbolic operator L0 appears. Furthermore, if P" is the…

It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…

In this paper, we study the eigenvalue problem \[\left\{\begin{array}{cl}-\hbox{div}\left(a(x)\frac{Du}{|Du|}\right)=\Lambda\, b(x)\frac{u}{|u|} & \text{in }\Omega\\u=0 & \text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.\] where $a(x)$ and $b(x)$…

We consider a model of an electron in a crystal moving under the influence of an external electric field: Schr\"{o}dinger's equation with a potential which is the sum of a periodic function and a general smooth function. We identify two…

We show that the spacing between eigenvalues of the discrete 1D Hamiltonian with arbitrary potentials which are bounded, and with Dirichlet or Neumann Boundary Conditions is bounded away from zero. We prove an explicit lower bound, given by…

A suspended fluid film with two free surfaces convects when a sufficiently large voltage is applied across it. We present a linear stability analysis for this system. The forces driving convection are due to the interaction of the applied…

For a family of elliptic operators with periodically oscillating coefficients, $-\text{div}( A(\cdot/\varepsilon) \nabla) $ with tiny $\varepsilon>0$, we comprehensively study the first-order expansions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions…
