We consider the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate without external confinement. We first consider the unstable regime, where the nonlocal nonlinearityis neither positive nor radially symmetric and standing states are k ...
Price's Law states that linear perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole fall off as t−2ℓ−3 for t→∞ provided the initial data decay sufficiently fast at spatial infinity. Moreover, if the perturbations are initially static (i.e., their ...
In recent years, the conjecture on the instability of Anti-de Sitter spacetime, put forward by Dafermos-Holzegel (Dynamic instability of solitons in 4 + 1 dimesnional gravity with negative cosmological constant, 2006. https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/similar to ...
The interest for distributed stochastic optimization has raised to train complex Machine Learning models with more data on distributed systems. Increasing the computation power speeds up the training but it faces a communication bottleneck between workers ...
Human-environment interactions are mediated through the body and occur within the peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body. The PPS is taken to be a critical interface between the body and the environment, and in ...
We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in Galilei-invariant systems. The peculiar transformation rules for the backgrou ...
The scaled boundary finite-element method, alias the consistent infinitestimal finite-element cell method, is developed. The governing partial differential equations of linear elastodynamics are transformed to a system of linear second-order ordinary diffe ...
Stress fields and strut-and-tie models are widely used for design and assessment of structural concrete members. Although they are often used in the same manner for both purposes, developing suitable stress fields and strut-and-tie models for the design of ...
