We prove that, given a stress-free, axially symmetric elastic body, there exists, for sufficiently small values of the gravitational constant and of the angular frequency, a unique stationary axisymmetric solution to the Einstein equations coupled to the equations of relativistic elasticity with the body performing rigid rotations around the symmetry axis at the given angular frequency.

Difficulties associated with free-surface finite element flow simulations are related to a) nonlinear and advective nature of most hydrodynamic flows, b) requirements for compatibility between velocity and pressure interpolation, c) maintaining a valid computational mesh in the presence of moving boundaries, and d) enforcement of the kinematic conditions at the free surface. Focusing on the las...

The Jeans equations give the second moments or stresses required to support a stellar population against the gravity field. A general solution of the Jeans equations for arbitrary axisymmetric scale-free densities in flattened scale-free potentials is given. A two-parameter subset of the solution for the second moments for the self-consistent density of the power-law models, which have exactly ...
