We prove under general assumptions that solutions of the thin obstacle or Signorini problem in any space dimension achieve the optimal regularity $C^{1,1/2}$. This improves the known optimal regularity results by allowing the thin obstacle…

The dynamics of the Restricted 3 Body Problem in the Post Newtonian context have been, and continue to be, studied extensively and a number of characteristics such as ejections of bodies from the system, precession of orbits, chaotic…

In this work we present an adaptive Newton-type method to solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems in which the constraint is a system of partial differential equations discretized by the finite element method. The adaptive…

The problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function over an intersection of closed convex sets is ubiquitous in applied mathematics. It is particularly interesting when it is easy to project onto each separate set, but…

Symmetry can be used to help solve many problems. For instance, Einstein's famous 1905 paper ("On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies") uses symmetry to help derive the laws of special relativity. In artificial intelligence, symmetry has…

Analysis of collisions is standardly included in the introductory physics course. In one dimension (1D), there do not seem to be any unusual issues: Typically, the initial velocities of the two colliding objects are specified, and the…

We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

Newton's First Law of Motion is typically understood to govern only the motion of force-free bodies. This paper argues on textual and conceptual grounds that it is in fact a stronger, more general principle. The First Law limits the extent…

We consider the solution of variational equations on manifolds by Newton's method. These problems can be expressed as root finding problems for mappings from infinite dimensional manifolds into dual vector bundles. We derive the…

Consider the optimal stopping problem of a one-dimensional diffusion with positive discount. Based on Dynkin's characterization of the value as the minimal excessive majorant of the reward and considering its Riesz representation, we give…

We study an optimal control problem with a quadratic cost functional for non-Newtonian fluids of differential type. More precisely, we consider the system governing the evolution of a second grade fluid filling a two-dimensional bounded…

This article makes no claim to originality, other than, perhaps, the simple statement here called the {\it Abstract Maximum Principle}. Actually, the whole contents are strongly based on some H. Sussmann's and coauthors' papers, in which,…

We consider the problem $\inf\big\{ \int\!\!\int_\Omega (1 + |\nabla u(x,y)|^2)^{-1} dx dy : \text{ the function } u : \Omega \to \mathbb{R} \text{ is concave and } 0 \le u(x,y) \le M \text{ for all } (x,y) \in \Omega =\{ (x,y): x^2 + y^2…

There have been some major advances in the theory of optimal designs for interference models. However, the majority of them focus on one-dimensional layout of the block and the study for two-dimensional interference model is quite limited…

In this work, we consider the two dimensional tidal dynamics equations in a bounded domain and address some optimal control problems like total energy minimization, minimization of dissipation of energy of the flow, etc. We also examine an…

We make the elementary observation that the differential equation associated with Newton's second law $m\ddot\gamma(t)=-D V(\gamma(t))$ always has a solution for given initial conditions provided that the potential energy $V$ is semiconvex.…

Randomized dimensionality reduction is a widely-used algorithmic technique for speeding up large-scale Euclidean optimization problems. In this paper, we study dimension reduction for a variety of maximization problems, including…

The dimension of a partial order $P$ is the minimum number of linear orders whose intersection is $P$. There are efficient algorithms to test if a partial order has dimension at most $2$. In 1982 Yannakakis showed that for $k\geq 3$ to test…

In a preprint by Montgomery \cite{Mo99}, the author attempted to prove the existence of a shape space Figure-$8$ solution of the Newtonian three body problem with two equal masses (it looks like a figure $8$ in the shape space, which is…

Inspired by a planar partitioning problem involving multiple improper chambers, this article investigates using classical techniques what can be said of the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of minimizers in a certain free-endpoint…
