Given a planar domain Omega, we study the Dirichlet problem {-divA(x, del v) = f in Omega, v = 0 on partial derivative Omega, where the higher-order term is a quasilinear elliptic operator, and f belongs to the Zygmund space L(log L)delta(log log log L)(be ...
We consider a general approach for the process of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetries in chiral gauge models. This approach is used to show the complete integrability of several one dimensional texture equations arising in liquid Helium phas ...
We show how any labeled convex polygon associated to a compact semi-toric system, as de fined by V (u) over tilde Ngoc, determines Karshon's labeled directed graph which classifies the underlying Hamiltonian S-1-space up to isomorphism. Then we characteriz ...
A classical theorem of Frankel for compact Kahler manifolds states that a Kahler S-1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when the Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, Frankel's theorem st ...
We reformulate the equation characterizing the critical points of the hypersymplectic action functional as solutions of a Hamiltonian system on the iterated loop space. The intent is to gain more insight into dynamics of hyperkahler Floer theory. ...
In the following theoretical and numerically oriented work, a number of findings have been assembled. The newly devised VENUS-LEVIS code, designed to accurately solve the motion of energetic particles in the presence of 3D magnetic fields, relies on a non- ...
For a Hamiltonian matrix with purely imaginary eigenvalues, we aim to determine the nearest Hamiltonian matrix such that some or all eigenvalues leave the imaginary axis. Conversely, for a Hamiltonian matrix with all eigenvalues lying off the imaginary axi ...
We show that concurrent atomistic/continuum displacement-coupling methods are inherently unstable in the context of fully dynamic problems at finite temperature. The fundamental origin of the instability is the displacement coupling of two material descrip ...
Trapping phenomena involving nonlinear resonances have been considered in the past in the framework of adiabatic theory. Several results are known for continuous-time dynamical systems generated by Hamiltonian flows in which the combined effect of nonlinea ...
The exceptional enhancement of Raman scattering by localized plasmonic resonances in the near field of metallic nanoparticles, surfaces or tips (SERS, TERS) has enabled spectroscopic fingerprinting down to the single molecule level. The conventional explan ...
