This paper is concerned with boundary stabilization of two-dimensional hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. By adapting the Lyapunov function previously proposed by the second author for linearized hyperbolic systems with…
We study unknottedness for free boundary minimal surfaces in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary, and for self-shrinkers in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For doing…
We consider the Gelfand problem on a planar domain. Under some conditions on the potential, we provide the first examples of multiplicity for blowing-up solutions at a given point in the domain. The argument is based on a refined…
In this paper, a new technique is shown for deriving computable, guaranteed lower bounds of functional type (minorants) for two different cost functionals subject to a parabolic time-periodic boundary value problem. Together with previous…
Given the eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions, (with $\beta\in\R\setminus\{0\}$ the Robin parameter), we consider a shape minimization problem for a function of the first eigenvalues if $\beta>0$ and a shape…
We study a free boundary optimization problem in heat conduction, ruled by the infinity-Laplace operator, with lower temperature bound and a volume constraint. We obtain existence and regularity results and derive geometric properties for…
We present a branch-and-bound algorithm to improve the lower bounds obtained by SONC/SAGE. The running time is fixed-parameter tractable in the number of variables. Furthermore, we describe a new heuristic to obtain a candidate for the…
We consider the following eigenvalue optimization in the composite membrane problem with fractional Laplacian: given a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $\alpha>0$ and $0<A<|\Omega|$, find a subset $D\subset \Omega$ of area $A$…
In this paper we develop an extremal eigenvalue approach to the problem of construction of free boundary minimal surfaces in the product of Euclidean balls of chosen radii. The extremal problem involves a linear combination of normalized…
In a recent paper A. Fraser and R. Schoen have proved the existence of free boundary minimal surfaces $\Sigma\_n$ in $B^3$ which have genus $0$ and $n$ boundary components, for all $ n \geq 3$. For large $n$, we give an independent…
We present a unified, SI-consistent framework to constrain minimal SME coefficients $a_\mu$ and $b_\mu$ using magnetically confined two-dimensional electron systems under a uniform magnetic field. Working in the nonrelativistic…
We prove that the density of a topologically nontrivial, area-minimizing hypercone with an isolated singularity must be greater than the square root of 2. The Simons' cones show that this is the best possible constant. If one of the…
Given~$s,\sigma\in(0,1)$ and a bounded domain~$\Omega\subset\R^n$, we consider the following minimization problem of $s$-Dirichlet plus $\sigma$-perimeter type $$ [u]_{ H^s(\R^{2n}\setminus(\Omega^c)^2) } +…
We give conditions for the existence of regular optimal partitions, with an arbitrary number $\ell\geq 2$ of components, for the Yamabe equation on a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. To this aim, we study a weakly coupled competitive…
We provide new general methods in the calculus of variations for the anisotropic Plateau problem in arbitrary dimension and codimension. A new direct proof of Almgren's 1968 existence result is presented; namely, we produce from a class of…
Distributing points on a (possibly high-dimensional) sphere with minimal energy is a long-standing problem in and outside the field of mathematics. This paper considers a novel energy function that arises naturally from statistics and…
We present a general method for obtaining strong bounds for discrete optimization problems that is based on a concept of branching duality. It can be applied when no useful integer programming model is available, and we illustrate this with…
We prove that bounded solutions to an overdetermined fully nonlinear free boundary problem in the plane are one dimensional. Our proof relies on maximum principle techniques and convexity arguments.
We prove that the branching set of a solution to a two-dimensional two-phase Bernoulli problem with constant coefficients is locally finite. We do this via a Weierstrass representation formula, which allows to transform the problem into a…
Correlation functions and form factors in vertex models or spin chains are known to satisfy certain difference equations called the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. We find similar difference equations for the case of semi-infinite…
