WILD SOLUTIONS TO SCALAR EULER-LAGRANGE EQUATIONS

. We study very weak solutions to scalar Euler-Lagrange equations associated with quadratic convex functionals. We investigate whether W1,1 solutions are necessarily W 1,2 Nash and Schauder applicable. We answer this question positively for a suitable clas ...

Anomalous dissipation and other non-smooth phenomena in fluids

Massimo Sorella

The thesis is dedicated to the study of two main partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid dynamics: the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of incompressible fluids, and the transport equation with divergence-free velocity fields, whic ...

Dynamical Low-Rank Approximation for Stochastic Differential Equations

Fabio Nobile, Yoshihito Kazashi, Fabio Zoccolan

In this paper, we set the mathematical foundations of the Dynamical Low-Rank Approximation (DLRA) method for stochastic differential equations (SDEs). DLRA aims at approximating the solution as a linear combination of a small number of basis vectors with r ...

THE WEYL LAW OF TRANSMISSION EIGENVALUES AND THE COMPLETENESS OF GENERALIZED TRANSMISSION EIGENFUNCTIONS WITHOUT COMPLEMENTING CONDITIONS

Hoài-Minh Nguyên, Jean Louis-Alexandre Fornerod

The transmission eigenvalue problem is a system of two second-order elliptic equations of two unknowns equipped with the Cauchy data on the boundary. In this work, we establish the Weyl law for the eigenvalues and the completeness of the generalized eigenf ...

Towards a nonperturbative construction of the S-matrix

Francesco Riva, Brian Quinn Henning, Matthew Thomas Walters

We present a nonperturbative recipe for directly computing the S-matrix in strongly-coupled QFTs. The method makes use of spectral data obtained in a Hamiltonian framework and can be applied to a wide range of theories, including potentially QCD. We demons ...

Weakly nonlinear versus semi-linear models of the nonlinear evolution of the centrifugal instability

François Gallaire, Eunok Yim

We carry out a weakly nonlinear analysis of the centrifugal instability for a columnar vortex in a rotating fluid, and compare the results to those of the semi-linear model derived empirically by Yim et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 897, 2020, A34). The asympt ...

Computation of the attenuation function of the lightning return-stroke current from electromagnetic fields measured in a short-duration time-window, Part I: Theoretical investigation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

In a recent paper, a procedure to reconstruct the attenuation function of a return-stroke current from the simultaneous measurements of the channel-base current and the radiated electromagnetic fields was presented. One of the assumptions of the whole fram ...

High order geometric methods with splines: fast solution with explicit time-stepping for Maxwell equations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

We introduce a high-order spline geometric approach for the initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The method is geometric in the sense that it discretizes in structure preserving fashion the two de Rham sequences of differential forms inv ...

MaxwellNet: Physics-driven deep neural network training based on Maxwell's equations

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim

Maxwell's equations govern light propagation and its interaction with matter. Therefore, the solution of Maxwell's equations using computational electromagnetic simulations plays a critical role in understanding light-matter interaction and designing optic ...

Analysis-aware defeaturing of complex geometries

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Local modifications of a computational domain are often performed in order to simplify the meshing process and to reduce computational costs and memory requirements. However, removing geometrical features of a domain often introduces a non-negligible error ...

Scrutinizing thermally stimulated current transients originating from trapped charges in organic semiconductors: A drift-diffusion study

Frank Nüesch

Thermally stimulated current (TSC) is a widely used technique to assess trap states and extract their density, energy, and capture rate using analytical expressions. In many cases, the latter are derived from physical models pertaining to inorganic semicon ...

Tree-cotree decomposition of isogeometric mortared spaces in H(curl) on multi-patch domains

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

When applying isogeometric analysis to engineering problems, one often deals with multi-patch spline spaces that have incompatible discretisations, e.g. in the case of moving objects. In such cases mortaring has been shown to be advantageous. This contribu ...
