The dissipative dynamics of an expanding massless gas with constant cross section in a spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe is studied. The mathematical problem of solving the full nonlinear relativistic…
We analyze a model problem based on highly disparate elastic constants that we propose in order to understand corners and cusps that form on the boundary between the nematic and isotropic phases in a liquid crystal. For a bounded planar…
We study the motion of a rigid elastic rod, initially set in its relaxed state along a spacelike geodesic, in an expanding Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker universe. This leads to an initial boundary value problem (IBVP) for a…
We study the branch of semi-stable and unstable solutions (i.e., those whose Morse index is at most one) of the Dirichlet boundary value problem $-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda f(x)}{(1-u)^2}$ on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^N$, which…
This paper is concerned with the sensitivity analysis of a class of parameterized fixed-point problems that arise in the context of obstacle-type quasi-variational inequalities. We prove that, if the operators in the considered fixed-point…
For one spatial variable, a new kind of nonlinear wave equation for Emden-Fowler type is considered with boundary value null and initial values. Under certain conditions on the initial data and the exponent p, we exhibit that the…
This paper presents a pure complementary energy variational method for solving anti-plane shear problem in finite elasticity. Based on the canonical duality-triality theory developed by the author, the nonlinear/nonconex partial…
This study presents a fractional-order continuum mechanics approach that allows combining selected characteristics of nonlocal elasticity, typical of classical integral and gradient formulations, under a single frame-invariant framework.…
In a recent paper we demonstrated how the simplest model for varying alpha may be interpreted as the effect of a dielectric material, generalized to be consistent with Lorentz invariance. Unlike normal dielectrics, such a medium cannot…
We provide a rigorous justification of the classical linearization approach in plasticity. By taking the small-deformations limit, we prove via \Gamma-convergence for rate-independent processes that energetic solutions of the quasi-static…
We study systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations where the dominant term, with respect to large spatial variables, causes blow-ups and is positively homogeneous of a degree $1+\alpha$ for some $\alpha>0$. We prove that the…
The solutions of the one-dimensional homogeneous nonlinear Boltzmann equation are studied in the QE-limit (Quasi-Elastic; infinitesimal dissipation) by a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. Their behavior at large velocities…
We consider a parabolic-type PDE with a diffusion given by a fractional Laplacian operator and with a quadratic nonlinearity of the 'gradient' of the solution, convoluted with a singular term b. Our first result is the well-posedness for…
We study the continuity of weak solutions for quasilinear elliptic systems with source terms of critical growth arising from a transport-energy structure. The latter occurs frequently in connection with the first balance principles of…
The inelastic scattering of electrons which carry current through a single-molecule junction is modeled by a quantum dot, coupled to electron reservoirs via two leads. When the electron is on the dot, it is coupled to a single harmonic…
We study the vibrations of a hanging thin flexible rod, in which the dominant restoring force in most of the domain is tension due to the weight of the rod, while bending elasticity plays a small but non-negligible role. We consider a…
We prove non-uniqueness and study the behaviour of viscosity solutions of a class of uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear equations of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs type, with quadratic growth in the gradient. The crucial a priori bound for…
We reconsider the electrostatic contribution to the persistence length, $\ell_e$, of a single, infinitely long charged polymer in the presence of screening. A Gaussian variational method is employed, taking $\ell_e$ as the only variational…
We construct local minimizers to the Ginzburg-Landau functional of superconductivity whose number of vortices N is prescribed and blows up as the parameter epsilon, inverse of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa, tends to zero. We treat the…
Qualitatively new aspects of the (linear and non-linear) stability of sheared relativistic (slab) jets are analyzed. The linear problem has been solved for a wide range of jet models well inside the ultrarelativistic domain (flow Lorentz…
