This paper considers a family of non-diffusive active scalar equations where a viscosity type parameter enters the equations via the constitutive law that relates the drift velocity with the scalar field. The resulting operator is smooth…

This article discusses nonconforming finite element methods for convex minimization problems and systematically derives dual mixed formulations. Duality relations lead to simple error estimates that avoid an explicit treatment of…

We consider a dynamical elasto-plasticity system with Kelvin--Voigt viscosity and linear kinematic hardening of Melan--Prager type. The model is formulated in a variational framework in which a constraint set for the stress evolves in time…

We study the systematic numerical approximation of a class of Allen-Cahn type problems modeling the motion of phase interfaces. The common feature of these models is an underlying gradient flow structure which gives rise to a decay of an…

We present a novel approach to understand geometric-incompatibility-induced rigidity in under-constrained materials, including sub-isostatic 2D spring networks and 2D and 3D vertex models for dense biological tissues. We show that in all…

We study a colocated cell centered finite volume method for the approximation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations posed on a 2D or 3D finite domain. The discrete unknowns are the components of the velocity and the pressures, all…

We show quasi-optimality and a posteriori error estimates for the frictionless contact problem between two elastic bodies with a zero-gap function. The analysis is based on interpreting Nitsche's method as a stabilised finite element method…

We investigate both analytically and by numerical simulation the kinetics of a microscopic model of hard rods adsorbing on a linear substrate, a model which is relevant for compaction of granular materials. The computer simulations use an…

A new energy functional for pure traction problems in elasticity has been deduced in [23] as the variational limit of nonlinear elastic energy functional for a material body subject to an equilibrated force field: a sort of Gamma limit with…

We study stability of interacting nonlinear systems with time-delayed communications, using contraction theory and a simplified wave variable design inspired by robotic teleoperation. We show that contraction is preserved through specific…

The immersed boundary method is a mathematical framework for modeling fluid-structure interaction. This formulation describes the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of the fluid-structure system in Eulerian form, and it uses…

A description of the dynamics of a collisionless, self-gravitating fluid is developed and applied to follow the development of Large Scale Structures in the Universe. Such description takes on one of the assumptions of the Adhesion…

To date, computational methods for modeling defects (vacancies, adsorbates, etc.) rely on periodic supercells in which the defect is far enough from its repeated image such that they can be assumed non-interacting. Yet, the relative…

We investigate a finite element discretization of an elastic bending-plate model with an effective prestrain. The model has been obtained via homogenization and dimension reduction by B\"onlein at al. (2023). Its energy functional is the…

In this paper we consider and generalize a model, recently proposed and analytically investigated in its quasi-stationary approximation by the authors, for visco-elasticity with large deformations and conditional compatibility, where the…

In the context of Discontinuous Galerkin methods, we study approximations of nonlinear variational problems associated with convex energies. We propose element-wise nonconforming finite element methods to discretize the continuous…

We introduce two time-delay models of metabolic oscillations in yeast cells. Our model tests a hypothesis that the oscillations occur as multiple pathways share a limited resource which we equate to the number of available ribosomes. We…

We analyze a semi-explicit time discretization scheme of first order for poro\-elasticity with nonlinear permeability provided that the elasticity model and the flow equation are only weakly coupled. The approach leads to a decoupling of…

A living cell actively generates traction forces on its environment with its actin cytoskeleton. These forces deform the cell elastic substrate which, in turn, affects the traction forces exerted by the cell and can consequently modify the…

This work describes models and numerical approximations that describe the mechanical behavior of deformable continua with embedded structural members, such as rigid bodies, beams, shells, etc. The continuum formulation extends an idea first…
