The relaxation of a dewetting contact line is investigated theoretically in the so-called "Landau-Levich" geometry in which a vertical solid plate is withdrawn from a bath of partially wetting liquid. The study is performed in the framework…

We compute the relaxed Cartesian area in the strict $BV$-convergence on a class of piecewise Lipschitz maps from the plane to the plane, having jump made of several curves allowed to meet at a finite number of junction points. We show that…

We investigate dynamics of large scale and slow deformations of layered structures. Starting from the respective model equations for a non-conserved system, a conserved system and a binary fluid, we derive the interface equations which are…

In this paper, we couple regularization techniques with the adaptive $hp$-version of the boundary element method ($hp$-BEM) for the efficient numerical solution of linear elastic problems with nonmonotone contact boundary conditions. As a…

We investigate the homogenization through Gamma-convergence for the L^2(\Omega)-weak topology of the conductivity functional with a zero-order term where the matrix-valued conductivity is assumed to be non strongly elliptic. Under proper…

We consider a free boundary problem for the Willmore functional. Given a smooth domain $\Omega$ in ${\mathbb R}^3$, we construct Willmore disks wich are critical in the class of surfaces meeting $\partial \Omega$ orthogonally along their…

We simulate the electrical response of multiple disjoint biological 3D cells undergoing an electropermeabilization process. Instead of solving the boundary value problem in the unbounded volume, we reduce it to a system of boundary…

We study simultaneous homogenization and dimensional reduction of integral functionals for maps in manifold-valued Sobolev spaces. Due to the superlinear growth regime, we prove that the density of the $\Gamma$-limit is a tangential…

We derive integral representations for $(0,q)$-forms, $q\ge1$, on non-smooth strictly pseudoconvex domains, the Henkin-Leiterer domains. A $(0,q)$-form, $f$ is written in terms of integral operators acting on $f$, $\mdbar f$, and…

Let $\,(M,g)\,$ be a $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold and $\,\Omega\,$ be any compact connected domain in $\,M$. We study the problem of finding the {\em maxima} of the functional $\, {\mathcal E} (\Omega)\,$ (known as {\em torsional…

Normal contact behaviour between non adhesive fractal rough particles is studied using a finite element method (FEM). A series of spherical grain surfaces with distinguished roughness features are generated by means of Spherical Harmonics.…

Using theories of phase ordering kinetics and of renormalization group, we derive analytically the relaxation times of the long wave-length fluctuations of a phase-separated domain boundary in the vicinity of (and below) the critical…

We provide a sufficient condition for lower semicontinuity of nonautonomous noncoercive surface energies defined on the space of $GSBD^p$ functions, whose dependence on the $x$-variable is $W^{1,1}$ or even $BV$: the notion of nonautonomous…

Dielectric measurements on molecular liquids just above the glass transition indicate that alpha relaxation is characterized by a generic high-frequency loss varying as $\omega^{-1/2}$, whereas deviations from this come from one or more…

We consider an abstract second order linear equation with a strong dissipation, namely a friction term which depends on a power of the "elastic" operator. In the homogeneous case, we investigate the phase spaces in which the initial value…

We consider the functional \[ F(u)=\int_{\Omega} f(\nabla u)\,dx\qquad u\in\varphi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $\Omega$ is a Lipschitz bounded open set of $\R^N$, $f:\R^N\to\R\cup \{+\infty\}$ is a superlinear Borel function, $\varphi\in…

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…

There recently has been some interest in the space of functions on an interval satisfying the heat equation for positive time in the interior of this interval. Such functions were characterised as being analytic on a square with the…

The dynamics of a degree of freedom associated to an axial vector in contact with a heat bath is decribed by means of a probability distribution function obeying a Fokker-Planck equation. The equation is derived by using mesoscopic…

In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation for a parabolic problem on a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with the inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We emphasize that the domain can be non-convex in…
