Defined mathematically as critical points of surface area subject to a volume constraint, constant mean curvatures (CMC) surfaces are idealizations of interfaces occurring between two immiscible fluids. Their behavior elucidates phenomena…

Gerrymandering, the deliberate manipulation of electoral district boundaries for political advantage, is a persistent issue in U.S. redistricting cycles. This paper introduces and analyzes a new phenomenon, 'votemandering'- a strategic…

In this paper, we construct global distributional solutions to the volume-preserving mean-curvature flow using a variant of the time-discrete gradient flow approach proposed independently by Almgren, Taylor and Wang (SIAM J. Control Optim.…

We investigate the distribution of partisanship in a cross-section of ten diverse States to elucidate how votes translate into seats won and other metrics. Markov chain simulations taking into account partisanship distribution agree…

Numerical simulations of compressible real-fluid flows are notoriously plagued by spurious pressure oscillations arising in regions of abrupt flow variations. As a possible remedy, several numerical formulations enforce the pressure…

This paper is concerned with the motion of a time dependent hypersurface that evolves by mean curvature flow with a a volume constraint. Phase field approximation of this motion leads to the well known nonlocal Allen--Cahn equation. Here we…

When auditing a redistricting plan, a persuasive method is to compare the plan with an ensemble of neutrally drawn redistricting plans. Ensembles are generated via algorithms that sample distributions on balanced graph partitions. To audit…

We introduce the Geography and Election Outcome (GEO) metric, a new method for identifying potential partisan gerrymanders. In contrast with currently popular methods, the GEO metric uses both geographic information about a districting plan…

In this paper, we propose a numerical method for solving weakly compressible fluid flow based on a dynamical low-rank projector splitting. The low-rank splitting scheme is applied to the Boltzmann equation with BGK collision term, which…

This paper presents a new partial differential equation to build Brakke's motion, which is a weak notion of mean curvature flow. We call the equation a modified Allen-Cahn equation abbreviated to MAC. After that we introduce its benefit: An…

We present a novel asymptotic-preserving semi-implicit finite element method for weakly compressible and incompressible flows based on compatible finite element spaces. The momentum is sought in an $H(\mathrm{div})$-conforming space,…

For a system of partial differential equations that has an extended Kovalevskaya form, a reduction procedure is presented that allows one to use a local (point, contact, or higher) symmetry of a system and a symmetry-invariant conservation…

The main contribution of this paper is the formulation of a diffuse approximation method(DAM), for two-dimensional channel flows. The proposed method is based on the vorticity-streamfunction formulation. The DAM which estimates derivates of…

We propose and analyze an energy-stable fully discrete parametric approximation for Willmore flow of hypersurfaces in two and three space dimensions. We allow for the presence of spontaneous curvature effects and for open surfaces with…

Non-Newtonian fluid flow might be driven by spatially nonlocal velocity, the dynamics of which can be described by promising fractional derivative models. This short communication proposes a space FrActional-order Constitutive Equation…

We propose and analyze a structure-preserving parametric finite element method (SP-PFEM) to simulate the motion of closed curves governed by area-conserved generalized mean curvature flow in two dimensions (2D). We first present a…

We consider the initial/boundary value problem for the fractional diffusion and diffusion-wave equations involving a Caputo fractional derivative in time. We develop two "simple" fully discrete schemes based on the Galerkin finite element…

A numerical method is developed for solving a system of partial differential equations modeling the flow of a nematic liquid crystal fluid with stretching effect, which takes into account the geometrical shape of its molecules. This system…

We propose a new class of finite element approximations to ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in smooth regime. Following variational approximations developed for fluid models in the last decade, our discretizations are built…

Energies with high-order non-submodular interactions have been shown to be very useful in vision due to their high modeling power. Optimization of such energies, however, is generally NP-hard. A naive approach that works for small problem…
