Nonlocal gradient operators are basic elements of nonlocal vector calculus that play important roles in nonlocal modeling and analysis. In this work, we extend earlier analysis on nonlocal gradient operators. In particular, we study a…

This work contributes to nonlocal vector calculus as an indispensable mathematical tool for the study of nonlocal models that arises in a variety of applications. We define the nonlocal half-ball gradient, divergence and curl operators with…

Recent decades have provided a host of examples and applications motivating the study of nonlocal differential operators. We discuss a class of such operators acting on bounded domains, focusing on those with integrable kernels having…

We present an approach to handle Dirichlet type nonlocal boundary conditions for nonlocal diffusion models with a finite range of nonlocal interactions. Our approach utilizes a linear extrapolation of prescribed boundary data. A novelty is,…

Nonlocal models have recently had a major impact in nonlinear continuum mechanics and are used to describe physical systems/processes which cannot be accurately described by classical, calculus based "local" approaches. In part, this is due…

We prove two compactness results for function spaces with finite Dirichlet energy of half-space nonlocal gradients. In each of these results, we provide sufficient conditions on a sequence of kernel functions that guarantee the asymptotic…

In this paper, we consider a class of variational problems with integral functionals involving nonlocal gradients. These models have been recently proposed as refinements of classical hyperelasticity, aiming for an effective framework to…

In this work we further develop a nonlocal calculus theory (initially introduced in [5]) associated with singular fractional-type operators which exhibit kernels with finite support of interactions. The applicability of the framework to…

The Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) framework has provided deep insights into the training dynamics of neural networks under gradient flow. However, it relies on the assumption that the network is differentiable with respect to its parameters,…

Nonlocal vector calculus, which is based on the nonlocal forms of gradient, divergence, and Laplace operators in multiple dimensions, has shown promising applications in fields such as hydrology, mechanics, and image processing. In this…

We develop a general theory of nonlocal linear elasticity based on nonlocal gradients with general radial kernels. Starting from a nonlocal hyperelastic energy functional, we perform a formal linearization around the identity deformation to…

We consider sequences of quadratic non-local functionals, depending on a small parameter $\e$, that approximate the Dirichlet integral by a well-known result by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. Similarly to what is done for hard-core…

We propose a nonlocal operator method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). The nonlocal operator is derived from the Taylor series expansion of the unknown field, and can be regarded as the integral form "equivalent" to the…

Motivated by problems in machine learning, we study a class of variational problems characterized by nonlocal operators. These operators are characterized by power-type weights, which are singular at a portion of the boundary. We identify a…

A key challenge to nonlocal models is the analytical complexity of deriving them from first principles, and frequently their use is justified a posteriori. In this work we extract nonlocal models from data, circumventing these challenges…

In this work, we study the Dirichlet problem associated with a strongly coupled system of nonlocal equations. The system of equations comes from a linearization of a model of peridynamics, a nonlocal model of elasticity. It is a nonlocal…

We introduce a nonlocal vector calculus on the unit two-sphere using weakly singular integral operators. Within this framework, the operators are diagonalizable in terms of scalar and vector spherical harmonics, a property that facilitates…

We put together a general framework to deal with elliptic and parabolic equations associated with (nonlinear) nonlocal (fractional order) operators. Many well-known nonlocal operators enter into our framework, and in addition one may…

We introduce a general difference quotient representation for non-local operators associated with a first-order linear operator. We establish new local to non-local estimates and strong localization principles in various spaces of…

Motivated by the analysis of thin structures, we study the variational dimension reduction of hyperelastic energies involving nonlocal gradients to an effective membrane model. When rescaling the thin domain, isotropic interaction ranges…
