Gravitational scattering at the seventh order in G: Nonlocal contribution at the sixth post-Newtonian accuracy

A recently introduced approach to the classical gravitational dynamics of binary systems involves intricate integrals (linked to a combination of nonlocal-in-time interactions with iterated 1r-potential scattering) which have so far resisted attempts at their analytical evaluation. By using…

Minimally Unbalanced Diamond-Free Graphs and Dyck-Paths

A {0, 1}-matrix A is balanced if it does not contain a submatrix of odd order having exactly two 1's per row and per column. A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix is balanced. No characterization of minimally unbalanced graphs is known, and even no conjecture on the structure of such graphs has…

Moser type estimates in nonlinear Neumann problems

Sharp exponential estimates for solutions to homogeneous Neumann problems for nonlinear elliptic equations in open subsets ! of Rn are established, with data from limiting Lebesgue spaces, or, more generally, Lorentz spaces.

Space localization and well-balanced schemes for discrete kinetic models in diffusive regimes

We derive and study Well-Balanced schemes for quasimonotone discrete kinetic models. By means of a rigorous localization procedure, we reformulate the collision terms as nonconservative products and solve the resulting Riemann problem whose solution is self-similar. The construction of an…

A gradient flow approach to relaxation rates for the multi-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation

The aim of this paper is to study relaxation rates for the Cahn-Hilliard equation in dimension larger than one. We follow the approach of Otto and Westdickenberg based on the gradient flow structure of the equation and establish differential and algebraic relationships between the energy, the…

CUDA Leaks: A Detailed Hack for CUDA and a (Partial) Fix

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are increasingly common on desktops, servers, and embedded platforms. In this article, we report on new security issues related to CUDA, which is the most widespread platform for GPU computing. In particular, details and proofs-of-concept are provided about novel…

Dynamics of trapped two-component Fermi gas: temperature dependence ofthe transition from collisionless to collisional regime

We develop a numerical method to study the dynamics of a two-component atomic Fermi gas trapped inside a harmonic potential at temperature T well below the Fermi temperature TF. We examine the transition from the collisionless to the collisional regime down to T = 0.2 TF and find a good qualitative…

A regularity result for a class of elliptic equations with lower order terms

In this paper we establish the higher differentiability of solutions to the Dirichlet problem {div(A(x,Du))+b(x)u(x)=fin?u=0on??under a Sobolev assumption on the partial map x-> A(x, ?). The novelty here is that we take advantage from the regularizing effect of the lower order term to deal with…

Creating a nilpotent pencil via deadbeat

We consider the problem of finding a square low-rank correction (?C - B)F to a given square pencil (?E - A) such that the new pencil ?(E - CF) - (A - BF) has all its generalised eigenvalues at the origin. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this problem to have a solution and we also…
