Higher-order phase transitions with line-tension effect

Bernardo Galvão-Sousa (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of the liquid. This problem, also known as the liquid-drop problem, was studied by Modica in [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. non linéaire 4 (1987) 487–512], and in a different form by Alberti et al. in [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.u is a scalar density function and...

High-order angles in almost-Riemannian geometry

Ugo Boscain, Mario Sigalotti (2006/2007)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Let X and Y be two smooth vector fields on a two-dimensional manifold M . If X and Y are everywhere linearly independent, then they define a Riemannian metric on M (the metric for which they are orthonormal) and they give to M the structure of metric space. If X and Y become linearly dependent somewhere on M , then the corresponding Riemannian metric has singularities, but under generic conditions the metric structure is still well defined. Metric structures that can be defined locally in this way...

High-performance simulation-based algorithms for an alpine ski racer's trajectory optimization in heterogeneous computer systems

Roman Dębski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Effective, simulation-based trajectory optimization algorithms adapted to heterogeneous computers are studied with reference to the problem taken from alpine ski racing (the presented solution is probably the most general one published so far). The key idea behind these algorithms is to use a grid-based discretization scheme to transform the continuous optimization problem into a search problem over a specially constructed finite graph, and then to apply dynamic programming to find an approximation...

Hölder continuity results for a class of functionals with non-standard growth

Michela Eleuteri (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We prove regularity results for real valued minimizers of the integral functional f x , u , D u under non-standard growth conditions of p x -type, i.e. L - 1 z p x f x , s , z L 1 + z p x under sharp assumptions on the continuous function p x > 1 .

Hölder regularity of three-dimensional minimal cones in ℝⁿ

Tien Duc Luu (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We show the local Hölder regularity of Almgren minimal cones of dimension 3 in ℝⁿ away from their centers. The proof is almost elementary but we use the generalized theorem of Reifenberg. In the proof, we give a classification of points away from the center of a minimal cone of dimension 3 in ℝⁿ, into types ℙ, 𝕐 and 𝕋. We then treat each case separately and give a local Hölder parameterization of the cone.

Hölder regularity of two-dimensional almost-minimal sets in n

Guy David (2009)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We give a different and probably more elementary proof of a good part of Jean Taylor’s regularity theorem for Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in 3 . We use this opportunity to settle some details about almost-minimal sets, extend a part of Taylor’s result to almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in n , and give the expected characterization of the closed sets E of dimension 2 in 3 that are minimal, in the sense that H 2 ( E F ) H 2 ( F E ) for every closed set F such that there is a bounded set B so that F = E out...
