We consider the free boundary problem for a two-dimensional, incompressible, perfect, irrotational liquid drop of nearly circular shape with capillarity: that is, we consider the 2D version of the 3D capillary drop problem treated in…
A Delaunay cell decomposition of a surface with constant curvature gives rise to a circle pattern, consisting of the circles which are circumscribed to the facets. We treat the problem whether there exists a Delaunay cell decomposition for…
Orbifolding two-dimensional quantum field theories by a symmetry group can involve a choice of discrete torsion. We apply the general formalism of `orbifolding defects' to study and elucidate discrete torsion for topological field theories.…
We investigate stability properties of the radially symmetric solution corresponding to the vortex defect (so called "melting hedgehog") in the framework of the Landau - de Gennes model of nematic liquid crystals. We prove local stability…
Landau's phenomenological theory of Fermi liquids is a fundamental paradigm in many-body physics that has been remarkably successful in explaining the properties of a wide range of interacting fermion systems, such as liquid helium-3,…
The order-disorder transition of a sphere-forming block copolymer thin film was numerically studied through a Cahn-Hilliard model. Simulations show that the fundamental mechanisms of pattern formation are spinodal decomposition and…
We present a finite element discretization of a non-linear diffusion equation used in the field of critical phenomena and, more recently, in the context of Dynamic Density Functional Theory. The discretized equation preserves the structure…
The concept of the theory of continuous groups of transformations has attracted the attention of applied mathematicians and engineers to solve many physical problems in the engineering sciences. Three applications are presented in this…
Scatter processes of photons lead to blurring of images produced by CT (computed tomography) or CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) in the KV domain or portal imaging in the MV domain (KV: kilovolt age, MV: megavoltage). Multiple scatter…
In the context of the dynamical mean-field theory of the Hubbard model, we identify microscopically an order parameter for the finite temperature Mott endpoint. We derive a Landau functional of the order parameter. We then use the order…
This article describes a reduction of a nonautonomous Brusselator reaction-diffusion system of partial differential equations on a spherical cap with time dependent curvature using the method of centre manifold reduction. Parameter values…
In this paper, we consider the formation of droplets in the dimer model on a triangular lattice. The droplets in the dimer model are superposition polygons formed as two overlapping configurations of dimers: constant and movable. We…
The paper presents theorems on the calculation of the index of a singular point and at the infinity of monotone type mappings. These theorems cover basic cases when the principal linear part of a mapping is degenerate. Applications of these…
We study the Schr\"odinger-Debye system over $\mathbb{R}^d$ iu_t+\frac 12\Delta u=uv,\quad \mu v_t+v=\lambda |u|^2 and establish the global existence and scattering of small solutions for initial data in several function spaces in…
The Plateau's problem seeks to determine a surface of minimal area which spans a given boundary. It is widely studied for its varied mathematical formulations, applications and relevance to physical models such as soap films. We revisit the…
We investigate the solution landscape of a reduced Landau--de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals on a two-dimensional hexagon at a fixed temperature, as a function of $\lambda$---the edge length. This is a generic example for reduced…
We investigate critical points of a Landau-de Gennes (LdG) free energy in three-dimensional (3D) cuboids, that model nematic equilibria. We develop a hybrid saddle dynamics-based algorithm to efficiently compute solution landscapes of these…
Problem solutions in area of diffraction and of scattering theory are considered from one point of view. The method common for them is based on approximate orthogonality of solution constituents, which oscillate on a body long frontier.…
A new computational method for solving the configuration-space Faddeev equations for the breakup scattering problem has been applied to nd scattering both below and above the two-body threshold.
We prove Landis-type results for both the semidiscrete heat and the stationary discrete Schr\"odinger equations. For the semidiscrete heat equation we show that, under the assumption of two-time spatial decay conditions on the solution $u$,…
