Functions of bounded variation and Polarization

It is known that, if u is a real valued function on R^n of bounded variation, then its total variation decreases under polarization. In this paper we identify the difference between the total variation of u and that one of its polar u_{\pi}.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of stochastic thin film dewetting

We study numerically the effect of thermal fluctuations and of variable fluid-substrate interactions on the spontaneous dewetting of thin liquid films. To this aim, we use a recently developed lattice Boltzmann method for thin liquid film flows, equipped with a properly devised stochastic term.…

Continuity properties of solutions to the p-Laplace system

A sharp integrability condition on the right-hand side of the p-Laplace system for all its solutions to be continuous is exhibited. Their uniform continuity is also analyzed and estimates for their modulus of continuity are provided. The relevant estimates are shown to be optimal as the right-hand…

On a One-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model for Semiconductors with Field-Dependent Mobility

We consider a one-dimensional, isentropic, hydrodynamical model for a unipolar semiconductor, with the mobility depending on the electric field. The mobility is related to the momentum relaxation time, and field-dependent mobility models are commonly used to describe the occurrence of saturation…

Nonlinear Langevin model for the early-stage dynamics of electrospinning jets

We present a nonlinear Langevin model to investigate the early-stage dynamics of electrified polymer jets in electrospinning experiments. In particular, we study the effects of air drag force on the uniaxial elongation of the charged jet, right after ejection from the nozzle. Numerical simulations…

Large deviations of the interference in a wireless communication model

We provide a large deviation principle for the interference in a simple model of wireless communication

Higher-order tail contributions to the energy and angular momentum fluxes in a two-body scattering process

The need for more and more accurate gravitational-wave templates requires taking into account all possible contributions to the emission of gravitational radiation from a binary system. Therefore, working within a multipolar-post-Minkowskian framework to describe the gravitational-wave field in…
