Nonlinear hydroelastic waves along a compressed ice sheet lying on top of a two-dimensional fluid of infinite depth are investigated. Based on a Hamiltonian formulation of this problem and by applying techniques from Hamiltonian…
We study the boundary control of solutions of the Helmholtz and Maxwell equations to enforce local non-zero constraints. These constraints may represent the local absence of nodal or critical points, or that certain functionals depending on…
Empirical data reveals a broad variety of hull shapes among the different ship categories. We present a minimal theoretical approach to address the problem of ship hull optimisation. We show that optimal hull aspect ratios result -- at…
This paper tackles the data completion problem related to the Helmholtz equation. The goal is to identify unknown boundary conditions on parts of the boundary that cannot be accessed directly, by making use of measurements collected from…
We propose a geometric model for optimal shape-change-induced motions of slender locomotors, e.g., snakes slithering on sand. In these scenarios, the motion of a body in world coordinates is completely determined by the sequence of shapes…
Universal mechanical principles may exist behind seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, providing novel insights into these phenomena. This study sheds light on the geometrical theory of dislocations through an analogy with…
Performance of optimization on quadratic problems sensitively depends on the low-lying part of the spectrum. For large (effectively infinite-dimensional) problems, this part of the spectrum can often be naturally represented or approximated…
We introduce a new constructive method for establishing lower bounds on convergence rates of periodic homogenization problems associated with divergence type elliptic operators. The construction is applied in two settings. First, we show…
We consider Euler's equations for free surface waves traveling on a body of density stratified water in the scenario when gravity and surface tension act as restoring forces. The flow is continuously stratified, and the water layer is…
In this paper, we investigate two types of time-harmonic elastic wave scattering problems. The first one involves the scattered wave generated by an active elastic source with compact support. The second one concerns elastic wave scattering…
An approximate equation of motion is proposed for screw and edge dislocations, which accounts for retardation and for relativistic effects in the subsonic range. Good quantitative agreement is found, in accelerated or in decelerated…
We investigate trend to equilibrium for the damped wave equation with a confining potential in the Euclidean space. We provide with necessary and sufficient geometric conditions for the energy to decay exponentially uniformly. The proofs…
We examine the optimal mass transport problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ between densities having independent compact support by considering the geometry of a continuous interpolating support boundary in space-time within which the mass density…
In a recent paper [WW23] we studied the transport of oscillations in solutions to linear and some semilinear second-order hyperbolic boundary problems along rays that graze a convex obstacle to any order. We showed that high frequency exact…
We derive the Helmholtz--Korteweg equation, which models acoustic waves in Korteweg fluids. We further derive a nematic variant of the Helmholtz-Korteweg equation, which incorporates an additional orientational term in the stress tensor.…
We study a variant of the dynamical optimal transport problem in which the energy to be minimised is modulated by the covariance matrix of the distribution. Such transport metrics arise naturally in mean-field limits of certain ensemble…
We consider Helmholtz problems with a perturbed wave speed, where the single-signed perturbation is linear in a parameter $z$. Both the wave speed and the perturbation are allowed to be discontinuous (modelling a penetrable obstacle). We…
We focus on a family of nonlinear continuity equations for the evolution of a non-negative density $\rho$ with a continuous and compactly supported nonlinear mobility $\mathrm{m}(\rho)$ not necessarily concave. The velocity field is the…
We analyze the propagation of waves in unbounded photonic crystals, the waves are described by a Helmholtz equation with $x$-dependent coefficients. The scattering problem must be completed with a radiation condition at infinity, which was…
The optimal transport problem seeks to minimize the total transportation cost between two distributions, thus providing a measure of distance between them. In this work, we study the optimal transport of the eigenspectrum of one-dimensional…
