Exact mechanical models of fractional hereditary materials
2012
Fractional Viscoelasticity is referred to materials, whose constitutive law involves fractional derivatives of order β R such that 0 β 1. In this paper, two mechanical models with stress-strain relation exactly restituting fractional operators, respectively, in ranges 0 β 1 / 2 and 1 / 2 β 1 are presented. It is shown that, in the former case, the mechanical model is described by an ideal indefinite massless viscous fluid resting on a bed of independent springs (Winkler model), while, in the latter case it is a shear-type indefinite cantilever resting on a bed of independent viscous dashpots. The law of variation of all mechanical characteristics is of power-law type, strictly related to th…
A nonlinear algorithm for monotone piecewise bicubic interpolation
2016
We present an algorithm for monotone interpolation on a rectangular mesh.We use the sufficient conditions for monotonicity of Carlton and Fritsch.We use nonlinear techniques to approximate the partial derivatives at the grid points.We develop piecewise bicubic Hermite interpolants with these approximations.We present some numerical examples where we compare different results. In this paper we present an algorithm for monotone interpolation of monotone data on a rectangular mesh by piecewise bicubic functions. Carlton and Fritsch (1985) develop conditions on the Hermite derivatives that are sufficient for such a function to be monotone. Here we extend our results of Arandiga (2013) to obtain…

Similarities in the error analysis of the polynomial series solution of linear time-invariant systems are pointed out.
A remarkable equality referring to spline functions in Hilbert spaces
2010
In the introduction of this paper is presented the definition of the generalized spline functions as solutions of a variational problem and are shown some theorems regarding to the existence and uniqueness. The main result of this article consists in a remarkable equality verified by the generalized spline elements, based on the properties of the spaces, operator and interpolatory set involved, which can be used as a characterization theorem of the generalized spline functions in Hilbert spaces.

Serrin-Type Overdetermined Problems: an Alternative Proof
2008
We prove the symmetry of solutions to overdetermined problems for a class of fully nonlinear equations, namely the Hessian equations. In the case of the Poisson equation, our proof is alternative to the proofs proposed by Serrin (moving planes) and by Weinberger. Moreover, our proof makes no direct use of the maximum principle while it sheds light on a relation between the Serrin problem and the isoperimetric inequality.
Stability of radial symmetry for a Monge-Ampère overdetermined problem
2008
Recently the symmetry of solutions to overdetermined problems has been established for the class of Hessian operators, including the Monge-Ampère operator. In this paper we prove that the radial symmetry of the domain and of the solution to an overdetermined Dirichlet problem for the Monge-Ampère equation is stable under suitable perturbations of the data. © 2008 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata and Springer-Verlag.
A note on Sobolev isometric immersions below W2,2 regularity
2017
Abstract This paper aims to investigate the Hessian of second order Sobolev isometric immersions below the natural W 2 , 2 setting. We show that the Hessian of each coordinate function of a W 2 , p , p 2 , isometric immersion satisfies a low rank property in the almost everywhere sense, in particular, its Gaussian curvature vanishes almost everywhere. Meanwhile, we provide an example of a W 2 , p , p 2 , isometric immersion from a bounded domain of R 2 into R 3 that has multiple singularities.
From motives to differential equations for loop integrals
2013
In this talk we discuss how ideas from the theory of mixed Hodge structures can be used to find differential equations for Feynman integrals. In particular we discuss the two-loop sunrise graph in two dimensions and show that these methods lead to a differential equation which is simpler than the ones obtained from integration-by-parts.
Small and hollow magnetic monopoles
2018
We deal with the presence of magnetic monopoles in a non Abelian model that generalizes the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov model in three spatial dimensions. We investigate the energy density of the static and spherically symmetric solutions to find first order differential equations that solve the equations of motion. The system is further studied and two distinct classes of solutions are obtained, one that can also be described by analytical solutions which is called small monopole, since it is significantly smaller than the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov monopole. The other type of structure is the hollow monopole, since the energy density is endowed with a hole at its core. The hollow monopole …
