Gamma-convergence results for phase-field approximations of the 2D-Euler Elastica Functional

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We establish some new results about the -limit, with respect to the -topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations { } , { ˜ } ℰ ε ε ,   x10ff65; ℰ ε ε of the so-called Euler’s Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane. In particular we characterize the-limit as  → 0 of ℰ, and show that in general the -limits of ℰand ˜ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary. More precisely we show that the domain of the-limit...

Some problems in automata theory which depend on the models of set theory

Olivier Finkel (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We prove that some fairly basic questions on automata reading infinite words depend on the models of the axiomatic system ZFC. It is known that there are only three possibilities for the cardinality of the complement of an -language L ( 𝒜 ) (x1d49c;) accepted by a Büchi 1-counter automaton 𝒜 x1d49c;. We prove the following surprising result: there exists a 1-counter Büchi automaton 𝒜 x1d49c; such that the cardinality of the complement L ( 𝒜 ) - (𝒜) of the -language...

Higher-order phase transitions with line-tension effect

Bernardo Galvão-Sousa (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

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 [ 4 (1987) 487–512], and in a different form by Alberti in [ is a scalar density function and and are double-well potentials, the exact scaling...

We show that this operator is stable with respect to polynomial degrees and satisfies the commuting diagram property. We also establish an estimate for the interpolation error in the norm of the space 𝐇 ˜ (div, ), which is closely related...

Polynomial deviation bounds for recurrent Harris processes having general state space

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Consider a strong Markov process in continuous time, taking values in some Polish state space. Recently, Douc et al. [Stoc. Proc. Appl. 119, (2009) 897–923] introduced verifiable conditions in terms of a supermartingale property implying an explicit control of modulated moments of hitting times. We show how this control can be translated into a control of polynomial moments of abstract regeneration times which are obtained by using...
