Number theory implications on the physical properties of elementary cubic networks of Josephson junctions
2003
Number theory concepts are used to investigate the periodicity properties of the voltage vs applied flux curves of elementary cubic networks of Josephson junctions. It is found that equatorial gaps appearing on the unitary sphere, on which points representing the directions in space for which these curves show periodicity are collected, can be understood by means of Gauss condition on the sum of the squares of three integers.
Some sufficient conditions for lower semicontinuity in SBD and applications to minimum problems of Fracture Mechanics
2009
We provide some lower semicontinuity results in the space of special functions of bounded deformation for energies of the type $$ %\int_\O {1/2}({\mathbb C} \E u, \E u)dx + \int_{J_{u}} \Theta(u^+, u^-, \nu_{u})d \H^{N-1} \enspace, \enspace [u]\cdot \nu_u \geq 0 \enspace {\cal H}^{N-1}-\hbox{a. e. on}J_u, $$ and give some examples and applications to minimum problems. \noindent Keywords: Lower semicontinuity, fracture, special functions of bounded deformation, joint convexity, $BV$-ellipticity.
Dimension reduction for $-Delta_1$
2012
A 3D-2D dimension reduction for $-\Delta_1$ is obtained. A power law approximation from $-\Delta_p$ as $p \to 1$ in terms of $\Gamma$- convergence, duality and asymptotics for least gradient functions has also been provided.
