We prove well-posedness of time-dependent Ginzburg--Landau system in a nonconvex polygonal domain, and decompose the solution as a regular part plus a singular part. We see that the magnetic potential is not in $H^1$ in general, and the…
We consider the finite element discretization of an optimal Dirichlet boundary control problem for the Laplacian, where the control is considered in $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$. To avoid computing the latter norm numerically, we realize it using the…
In this paper we propose and investigate a general approach to constructing local energy-preserving algorithms which can be of arbitrarily high order in time for solving Hamiltonian PDEs. This approach is based on the temporal…
This article is devoted to finding classical point-particle equivalents for the fermion sector of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). For a series of nonminimal operators, such Lagrangians are derived at first order in Lorentz…
We formulate a Herglotz-type variational principle on a Lie algebroid and derive the corresponding Euler--Lagrange--Herglotz equations for a Lagrangian depending on an additional scalar variable $z$. This provides a geometric framework for…
In this paper, we develop the theoretical foundations of discrete Dirac mechanics, that is, discrete mechanics of degenerate Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems with constraints. We first construct discrete analogues of Tulczyjew's triple and…
A method to construct a geometric structure with the same solutions as a given variational principle is presented. The method applies to large families of variational principles. In particular, the known results that assign cosymplectic…
The spatial discretization of convective terms in compressible flow equations is studied from an abstract viewpoint, for finite-difference methods and finite-volume type formulations with cell-centered numerical fluxes. General conditions…
Computing the stiffness matrix for the finite element discretization of the nonlocal Laplacian on unstructured meshes is difficult, because the operator is nonlocal and can even be singular. In this paper, we focus on the $C^0$-piecewise…
A class of variational schemes for the hydrodynamic-electrodynamic model of lossless free-electron gas in a quasineutral background is developed for high-quality simulations of surface plasmon polaritons. The Lagrangian density of lossless…
We describe how density-functional theory, well-known for its many uses in ab initio calculations of electronic structure, can be used to study the ground state of inhomogeneous model Hamiltonians. The basic ideas and concepts are discussed…
The analysis of the dynamics of a material point perfectly constrained to a submanifold of the three-dimensional euclidean space and subjected to a locally conservative force's field, namely a force's field corresponding to a closed but not…
A recent paper arXiv:1312.4890 on multi-symplectic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) using Clebsch variables in an Eulerian action principle with constraints is further extended. We relate a class of symplecticity conservation laws to a vorticity…
We present a deformable Discrete Element Method (DEM) that extends the classical rigid-particle formulation through a reduced-order description of elastic grain-scale deformation. The method hinges on two developments. First, an energetic…
We develop physically admissible lattice models in the harmonic approximation which define by Hamilton's variational principle fractional Laplacian matrices of the forms of power law matrix functions on the n -dimensional periodic and…
This work proposes a model-reduction methodology that preserves Lagrangian structure (equivalently Hamiltonian structure) and achieves computational efficiency in the presence of high-order nonlinearities and arbitrary parameter dependence.…
We introduce a novel spatio-temporal discretization for nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations on the multi-dimensional unit cube. This discretization is based on two structural properties of these equations: the first is the representation as a…
In this paper we point out the existence of a remarkable nonlocal transformation between the damped harmonic oscillator and a modified Emden type nonlinear oscillator equation with linear forcing, $\ddot{x}+\alpha x\dot{x}+\beta x^3+\gamma…
Some problems on variations are raised for classical discrete mechanics and field theory and the difference variational approach with variable step-length is proposed motivated by Lee's approach to discrete mechanics and the difference…
We propose an efficient numerical method to obtain local order parameter in two-dimensional systems using spiral boundary conditions. As a benchmark, we first estimate the magnitude of staggered magnetization for the $S=1/2$ XXZ Heisenberg…
