G-equations are popular front propagation models in combustion literature and describe the front motion law of normal velocity equal to a constant plus the normal projection of fluid velocity. G-equations are Hamilton-Jacobi equations with convex but non-coercive Hamiltonians. We prove homogenization of inviscid G-equation for space periodic incompressible flows. This extends a two space dimens...

In 1974, Berezin proposed a quantum theory for dynamical systems having a Kähler manifold as their phase space. The system states were represented by holomorphic functions on the manifold. For any homogeneous Kähler manifold, the Lie algebra of its group of motions may be represented either by holomorphic differential operators (“quantum theory”), or by functions on the manifold with Poisson br...

We present a new method to obtain Willmore-Chen submanifolds in spaces endowed with warped product metrics and fibers being a given homogeneous space. The main points are: First the invariance of the variational problem of WillmoreChen with respect to the conformal changes in the ambient space metric. Second, the principle of symmetric criticality which allows us to relate the problem with that...

This article investigates an extension of General Relativity based upon a class of lifted metrics on the cotangent bundle of space-time. The dynamics of the theory is determined by a fixed section of the cotangent bundle, representing the momentum of a fluid flow, and Einstein’s equations for the fluid applied to the induced space-time metric on the submanifold of the cotangent bundle defined b...

Well-posedness results for the state-based peridynamic nonlocal continuum model of solid mechanics are established with the help of a nonlocal vector calculus. The peridynamic strain energy density for an elastic constitutively linear anisotropic heterogenous solid is expressed in terms of the field operators of that calculus, after which a variational principle for the equilibrium state is def...

INTRODUCTION The knowledge of the complex-valued + 1 B map generated by each channel of a phased-array RF coil has become essential for high field MRI systems operating above 7 T, a cornerstone for static or dynamic shimming techniques, whose aim is to provide a uniform excitation over any region of interest (ROI). The maps must be measured experimentally for each RF coil and each subject under...

It is known that the competitive exclusion principle holds for a large kind of models involving several species competing for a single resource in an homogeneous environment. Various works indicate that the coexistence is possible in an heterogeneous environment. We propose a spatially heterogeneous system modeling the competition of several species for a single resource. If spatial movements a...

In this paper we investigate the canonical structure of diffeomorphism invariant phase spaces for spatially locally homogeneous spacetimes with 3-dimensional compact closed spaces. After giving a general algorithm to express the diffeomorphisminvariant phase space and the canonical structure of a locally homogeneous system in terms of those of a homogeneous system on a covering space and a modu...
