We carry out overdamped simulations in a simple model of jamming - a collection of bi-disperse soft core frictionless disks in two dimensions - with the aim to explore the finite size dependence of different quantities, both the relaxation…

We consider a Neumann problem for strictly convex variational functionals of linear growth. We establish the existence of minimisers among $\operatorname{W}^{1,1}$-functions provided that the domain under consideration is simply connected.…

For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…

We study the $L^2$-gradient flows, $\partial_t u-\mathrm{div}(\mathrm{D}f(x,\mathbb{A}u))=0$, of functionals of the type $\int_{\Omega}f(x,\mathbb{A}u)\,\mathrm{d}x$, where $f$ is a convex function of linear growth and $\mathbb{A}$ is some…

An inequality of Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger and of Rogers states that among subsets of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ of specified Lebesgue measures, balls centered at the origin are maximizers of certain functionals defined by…

We introduce a new method for the analysis of singularities in the unstable problem $$\Delta u = -\chi_{\{u>0\}},$$ which arises in solid combustion as well as in the composite membrane problem. Our study is confined to points of…

The Pompeiu problem is considered as shape optimization problem. We show stability of the ball which is the minimum point of related domain functional. The proof is based on shape derivative method. Stability of the ball for general domain…

We introduce a unified sensitivity concept for shape and topological perturbations and perform the sensitivity analysis for a discretized PDE-constrained design optimization problem in two space dimensions. We assume that the design is…

We consider a new type of obstacle problem in the cylindrical domain $\Omega=D\times (0,1)$ arising from minimization of the functional $$ \int_\Omega \frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2+\chi_{\{v>0\}}udx, $$ where $v(x')=\int_0^1 u(x', t) dt $. We…

In this report, we apply Optimal Control Theory to design minimum energy $\pi/2$ and $\pi$ pulses for Bloch equations, in the case where transverse relaxation rate is much larger than longitudinal so the later can be neglected. Using…

This paper presents a novel numerical optimisation method for infinite dimensional optimisation. The functional optimisation makes minimal assumptions about the functional and without any specific knowledge on the derivative of the…

In this paper we consider the following Dirichlet problem for the $p$-Laplacian in the positive parameters $\lambda$ and $\beta$: [{{array} [c]{rcll}% -\Delta_{p}u & = & \lambda h(x,u)+\beta f(x,u,\nabla u) & \text{in}\Omega u & = & 0 &…

We consider a bilinear optimal control problem with pointwise tracking for a semilinear elliptic PDE in two and three dimensions. The control variable enters the PDE as a (reaction) coefficient and the cost functional contains point…

We consider discretized two-dimensional PDE-constrained shape optimization problems, in which shapes are represented by triangular meshes. Given the connectivity, the space of admissible vertex positions was recently identified to be a…

We consider image registration as an optimal control problem using an optical flow formulation, i.e., we discuss an optimization problem that is governed by a linear hyperbolic transport equation. Requiring Lipschitz continuity of the…

We consider the optimization problem for a shape cost functional $F(\Omega,f)$ which depends on a domain $\Omega$ varying in a suitable admissible class and on a "right-hand side" $f$. More precisely, the cost functional $F$ is given by an…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of multiphase shape optimization problems, which can formally be written as $\min\Big\{{g}(F_1(\Omega_1),\dots,F_h(\Omega_h))+ m\vert\,\bigcup_{i=1}^h\Omega_i\vert :\ \Omega_i\subset D,\ \Omega_i\cap…

We discuss relaxation and aging processes in the one- and two-dimensional $ABC$ models. In these driven diffusive systems of three particle types, biased exchanges in one direction yield a coarsening process characterized in the long time…

We revisit the issue of relaxation to thermal equilibrium in the so-called "sheet model", i.e., particles in one dimension interacting by attractive forces independent of their separation. We show that this relaxation may be very clearly…

In this work we consider an optimal design problem for two-component fractured media for which a macroscopic strain is prescribed. Within the framework of structured deformations, we derive an integral representation for the relaxed energy…
