We establish existence, uniqueness and optimal regularity results for very weak solutions to certain nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems. We introduce structural asymptotic assumptions of Uhlenbeck type on the nonlinearity, which are…
In three space dimensions, we consider the compressible inviscid model describing the time evolution of two fluids sharing the same velocity and enjoying the algebraic pressure closure. By employing the technique of convex integration, we…
A quasistatic model for a horizontally loaded thin elastic composite at small strains is studied. The composite consists of two adjacent plates whose interface behaves in a cohesive fashion with respect to the slip of the two layers. We…
This paper makes the following original contributions. First, we develop a unifying framework for testing shape restrictions based on the Wald principle. The test has asymptotic uniform size control and is uniformly consistent. Second, we…
We introduce a diffused interface formulation of the Plateau problem, where the Allen--Cahn energy $\mathcal{AC}_\varepsilon$ is minimized under a volume constraint $v$ and a spanning condition on the level sets of the densities. We discuss…
We demonstrate that the corrections to the classical Kelvin image theory due to finite electron screening length $\lambda$, recently discussed by Roulet and Saint Jean, Am. J. Phys. 68(4) 319, is amenable to an exact closed form solution in…
According to the von Laue condition, the volume integral of the proper pressure inside isolated particles with a fixed structure and finite mass vanishes in the Minkowski limit of general relativity. In this work, we consider a simple…
We have recently proposed a model for a regular black hole, or an ultra-compact object, that is premised on having maximally negative radial pressure throughout the entirety of the object's interior. This model can be viewed as that of a…
In this paper, we introduce a class of spacetimes $\left(\mathcal{M},g\right)$ which satisfy the vacuum Einstein equations and dynamically approach a Schwarzschild solution of mass $M$, a class we shall call \emph{ultimately…
Theoretical considerations of fundamental physics, as well as certain cosmological observations, persistently point out to permissibility, and maybe necessity, of macroscopic modifications of the Einstein general relativity. The…
We consider shape optimization problems with internal inclusion constraints, of the form $$\min\big\{J(\Omega)\ :\ \Dr\subset\Omega\subset\R^d,\ |\Omega|=m\big\},$$ where the set $\Dr$ is fixed, possibly unbounded, and $J$ depends on…
We show the existence of global minimizers for a geometrically nonlinear isotropic elastic Cosserat 6-parameter shell model. The proof of the main theorem is based on the direct methods of the calculus of variations using essentially the…
We relate the positivity of the curvature term in the Weitzenbock formula for the Laplacian on p-forms on a complete manifold to the existence of bounded and $L^2$ harmonic forms. In the case where the manifold is the universal cover of a…
Consider a sequence of $C^4$ Lorentzian metrics $\{h_n\}_{n=1}^{+\infty}$ on a manifold $\mathcal M$ satisfying the Einstein vacuum equation $\mathrm{Ric}(h_n)=0$. Suppose there exists a smooth Lorentzian metric $h_0$ on $\mathcal M$ such…
We consider the conformal decomposition of Einstein's constraint equations introduced by Lichnerowicz and York, on a compact manifold with boundary. We use order relations on appropriate Banach spaces to derive weak solution generalizations…
Let $H_n$ be the minimal number such that any $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by $H_n$ translates of interior of that body. Similarly $H_n^s$ is the corresponding quantity for symmetric bodies. It is possible to define $H_n$ and…
We construct a Lorentz invariant massive particle model in (2+1) space-time with an enlarged set of symmetries which includes Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) translations (supertranslations), using the non-linear realization framework. The…
We develop a general framework for the analysis of approximations to stochastic scalar conservation laws. Our aim is to prove, under minimal consistency properties and bounds, that such approximations are converging to the solution to a…
We construct a structure preserving non-conforming finite element approximation scheme for the bi-harmonic wave maps into spheres equation. It satisfies a discrete energy law and preserves the non-convex sphere constraint of the continuous…
Self-consistent solutions in Lorentz-violating gravity theories require the simultaneous satisfaction of: (i) the corresponding Einstein field equations, (ii) the matter field equations, and (iii) the Lorentz-violating field equations. In…
