In this paper we present an exact study of the relaxation dynamics of the backgammon model. This is a model of a gas of particles in a discrete space which presents glassy phenomena as a result of {\it entropy barriers} in configuration…
Constitutive equations are derived for the viscoelastoplastic response of amorphous glassy polymers at isothermal loading with small strains. A polymer is treated as an ensemble of cooperatively relaxing regions (CRR) which rearrange at…
This contribution is concerned with the effective viscosity problem, that is, the homogenization of the steady Stokes system with a random array of rigid particles, for which the main difficulty is the treatment of close particles. Standard…
We propose inverse renormalization group transformations to construct approximate configurations for lattice volumes that have not yet been accessed by supercomputers or large-scale simulations in the study of spin glasses. Specifically,…
In this article we deal with one-dimensional inverse problems concerning the Burgers equation and some related nonlinear systems (involving heat effects and/or variable density). In these problems, the goal is to find the size of the…
Glass-like materials are nonequilibrium systems where the relaxation time may exceed reasonable time scales of observations. In the present paper a dynamic percolation model is introduced in order to explain the principal properties of…
This paper discusses the possibility of identifying the shear and structure relaxation kernels in glassy materials by means of a single, simple and non-intrusive experiment. The material should be thermorheologically simple and the kernels…
All ground states and low-lying excitations of a +/- I Ising spin glass model on a cubic 4 x 4 x 4 lattice with periodical boundary conditions were calculated using a method of combinatorical optimization. The structure of states in the…
A theoretical analysis [Angelani et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 065702 (2006)] predicts glassy behaviour of light in a nonlinear random medium. This implies slow dynamics related to the presence of many metastable states. We consider very…
We propose a connection between self-similar, focusing dynamics in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and macroscopic dynamic features of the glass transition. In particular, we explore the divergence of the appropriate…
This article is devoted to the study of spectral optimisation for inhomogeneous plates. In particular, we optimise the first eigenvalue of a vibrating plate with respect to its thickness and/or density. Our result is threefold. First, we…
We discuss the slow relaxation phenomenon in glassy systems by means of replicas by constructing a static field theory approach to the problem. At the mean field level we study how criticality in the four point correlation functions arises…
The shear flow and the dielectric alpha-process in molecular glass formers is modeled in terms of local structural rearrangements which reverse a strong local shear. Using Eshelby's solution of the corresponding elasticity theory problem…
The concept of vibrational density of states in glasses has been mirrored in liquids by the instantaneous-normal-mode spectrum. While in glasses instantaneous configurations correspond to minima of the potential-energy hypersurface and all…
The frustrated Ising model in two dimensions is revisited. The frustration is quantified in terms of the number of non-trivial plaquettes which is invariant under the Nishimori gauge symmetry. The exact ground state energy is calculated…
We study the properties of the q-state frustrated bond percolation model by a Monte Carlo "bond flip" dynamics, using an algorithm originally devised by Sweeny and suitably modified to treat the presence of frustration. We analyze the…
We consider the following Ambrosetti-Prodi type problem \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\mathrm{div} (A(x)\nabla u)=|u|^p-t\mathbf{\Psi}(x), &\mbox{in $\Omega$,} \\ u=0, & \mbox{on $\partial \Omega$}, \end{array} \right.…
The topological nature of the disorder of glasses and supercooled liquids strongly affects their high-frequency dynamics. In order to understand its main features, we analytically studied a simple topologically disordered model, where the…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze a mixed method for linear elasticity eigenvalue problem, which approximates numerically the stress, displacement, and rotation, by piecewise $(k+1)$, $k$ and $(k+1)$-th degree polynomial functions…
We study random walks on the dilute hypercube using an exact enumeration Master equation technique, which is much more efficient than Monte Carlo methods for this problem. For each dilution $p$ the form of the relaxation of the memory…
