The classical one-phase Stefan problem (without surface tension) allows for a continuum of steady state solutions, given by an arbitrary (but sufficiently smooth) domain together with zero temperature. We prove global-in-time stability of…
Equilibration of a one-dimensional system of interacting electrons requires processes that change the numbers of left- and right-moving particles. At low temperatures such processes are strongly suppressed, resulting in slow relaxation…
In this paper we show that between PDE's and crystallographic groups there is an unforeseen relation. In fact we prove that integral bordism groups of PDE's can be considered extensions of crystallographic subgroups. In this respect we can…
In this paper the problem of the theory of a quasicrystal structures - the determination of coordinates of each atom of quasicrystal in analytical form - is solved. Within the framework of the proposed model a periodic crystal can be…
We consider the isoperimetric problem defined on the whole $\mathbb{R}^n$ by the Allen--Cahn energy functional. For non-degenerate double well potentials, we prove sharp quantitative stability inequalities of quadratic type which are…
A closed-form solution for the boundary of the flat state of an orthogonal cross section of contiguous surface geometry formed by the intersection of two cylinders of equal radii oriented in dual directions of rotation about their…
In this paper we study the large time behavior of the solutions to the following nonlinear fourth-order equations $$ \partial_t u=\Delta e^{-\Delta u}, $$ $$ \partial_t u=-u^2\Delta^2(u^3). $$ These two PDE were proposed as models of the…
The purpose of the study is to further investigate the classical Gibbs analysis of the heterogeneous system "stressed crystal - melt." It is demonstrated that each equilibrium configuration is stable with respect to a special class of…
We comment on the article by Fujimoto (1997 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen., Vol. 30, 3779), where the exact equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) in the critical Q-state Potts model on the square lattice was calculated, and its equivalence with ECS in…
We study a parabolic differential equation whose solution represents the atom dislocation in a crystal for a general type of Peierls-Nabarro model with possibly long range interactions and an external stress. Differently from the previous…
We present a uniform construction of level 1 perfect crystals $\mathcal B$ for all affine Lie algebras. We also introduce the notion of a crystal algebra and give an explicit description of its multiplication. This allows us to determine…
This article investigates the interaction of nematic liquid crystals modeled by a simplified Ericksen-Leslie model with a rigid body. It is shown that this problem is locally strongly well-posed, and that it also admits a unique, global…
We apply a new technique for ab initio phase determination [Acta Crystallogr. Sect. A, A55, 48 (1999)] to solve for the average structure of the icosahedral (i) phase of AlPdMn. After an introduction to the crystallographic phase problem…
A simple method has been introduced to furnish the equilibrium solution of the Wigner equation for all order of the quantum correction. This process builds up a recursion relation involving the coefficients of the different power of the…
We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in the half-space with zero boundary condition. It is assumed that the initial date is a random function with zero mean, finite mean energy density which also satisfies a mixing condition of…
The present work revisits the classical Wulff problem restricted to crystalline integrands, a class of surface energies that gives rise to finitely faceted crystals. The general proof of the Wulff theorem was given by J.E. Taylor (1978) by…
In [1], Cullen and Feldman proved existence of Lagrangian solutions for the semigeostrophic system in physical variables with initial potential vorticity in $L^p$, $p>1$. Here, we show that a subsequence of the Lagrangian solutions…
Crystals are paradigms of ordered structures. While order was once seen as synonymous with lattice periodic arrangements, the discoveries of incommensurate crystals and quasicrystals led to a more general perception of crystalline order,…
This expository paper is a tribute to Ekkehart Kr\"oner's results on the intrinsic non-Riemannian geometrical nature of a single crystal filled with point and/or line defects. A new perspective on this old theory is proposed, intended to…
A microscopic picture of the ``preparation'' of a crystal to the transition to liquid state at the approach to melting temperature is proposed. Basing on simple crystallogeometric considerations and the analysis of the computational results…
