• #### Landau-de Gennes Corrections to the Oseen-Frank Theory of Nematic Liquid Crystals ﻿

(2020-01-03)
We study the asymptotic behavior of the minimisers of the Landau-de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals in a two-dimensional domain in the regime of small elastic constant. At leading order in the elasticity constant, ...
• #### Leaky Cell Model of Hard Spheres ﻿

(9-03-20)
We study packings of hard spheres on lattices. The partition function, and therefore the pressure, may be written solely in terms of the accessible free volume, i.e., the volume of space that a sphere can explore without ...
• #### Liquid crystal defects in the Landau–de Gennes theory in two dimensions — Beyond the one-constant approximation ﻿

(2016-12-31)
We consider the two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes energy with several elastic constants, subject to general $k$-radially symmetric boundary conditions. We show that for generic elastic constants the critical points consistent ...
• #### Lorentz estimates for asymptotically regular fully nonlinear parabolic equations ﻿

(2017-06-20)
We prove a global Lorentz estimate of the Hessian of strong solutions to the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations with asymptotically regular nonlinearity over a bounded $C^{1,1}$ ...
• #### Lorentz estimates for the gradient of weak solutions to elliptic obstacle problems with partially BMO coefficients ﻿

(2017)
We prove global Lorentz estimates for variable power of the gradient of weak solution to linear elliptic obstacle problems with small partially BMO coefficients over a bounded nonsmooth domain. Here, we assume that the ...
• #### Magnetic domain-twin boundary interactions in Ni-Mn-Ga ﻿

(2020-04)
The stress required for the propagation of twin boundaries in a sample with fine twins increases monotonically with ongoing deformation. In contrast, for samples with a single twin boundary, the stress exhibits a plateau ...
• #### Maximal estimates for a generalized spherical mean Radon transform acting on radial functions ﻿

(2020)
We study a generalized spherical means operator, viz.\ generalized spherical mean Radon transform, acting on radial functions. As the main results, we find conditions for the associated maximal operator and its local ...
• #### Mean-field dynamics of the spin-magnetization coupling in ferromagnetic materials: Application to current-driven domain wall motions ﻿

(2015-12-31)
In this paper, we present a mean-field model of the spin-magnetization coupling in ferromagnetic materials. The model includes non-isotropic diffusion for spin dynamics, which is crucial in capturing strong spin-magnetization ...
• #### Minimizers of a Landau-de Gennes energy with a subquadratic elastic energy ﻿

(2019)
We study a modified Landau-de Gennes model for nematic liq- uid crystals, where the elastic term is assumed to be of subquadratic growth in the gradient. We analyze the behaviour of global minimizers in two- and three-dimensional ...
• #### Mixed norm estimates for the Cesàro means associated with Dunkl-Hermite expansions ﻿

(2017)
Our main goal in this article is to study mixed norm estimates for the Cesàro means associated with Dunkl--Hermite expansions on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These expansions arise when one considers the Dunkl--Hermite operator ...
• #### Mixed weak type estimates: Examples and counterexamples related to a problem of E. Sawyer ﻿

(2016-01-01)
In this paper we study mixed weighted weak-type inequal- ities for families of functions, which can be applied to study classic operators in harmonic analysis. Our main theorem extends the key result from [CMP2].
• #### Modeling cardiac structural heterogeneity via space-fractional differential equations ﻿

(2017)
We discuss here the use of non-local models in space and fractional order operators in the characterisation of structural complexity and the modeling of propagation in heterogeneous biological tissues. In the specific, we ...
• #### Models for damped water waves ﻿

(2019)
In this paper we derive some new weakly nonlinear asymptotic models describing viscous waves in deep water with or without surface tension effects. These asymptotic models take into account several different dissipative ...
• #### Monotonicity and convexity of the ratios of the first kind modified Bessel functions and applications ﻿

(2017-07-18)
• #### A note on generalized Fujii-Wilson conditions and BMO spaces ﻿

(2020-07-01)
In this note we generalize the definition of the Fujii-Wilson condition providing quantitative characterizations of some interesting classes of weights, such as A∞, A∞weak and Cp, in terms of BMO type spaces suited to them. ...
