This study focuses on nonlocal boundary value problems (BVP) for linear and nonlinear elliptic differential-operator equations (DOE) that are defined in Banachvalued function spaces. The considered domain is a region with varying bound and depends on a certain parameter. Some conditions that guarantee the maximal Lpregularity and Fredholmness of linear BVP, uniformly with respect to this parame...

The recent appearance of nonlocal methods is examined in the light of traditional continuum mechanics. A comparison of nonlocal approaches in the fields of solid and fluid mechanics reveals that no consistent definition of a nonlocal theory has been used. We suggest a definition based on the violation of the principle of local action in continuum mechanics. From the consideration of the implica...

Modeling of the evolution of distributed damage such as microcracking, void formation, and softening frictional slip necessitates strain-softening constitutive models. The nonlocal continuum concept has emerged as an effective means for regularizing the boundary value problems with strain softening, capturing the size effects and avoiding spurious localization that gives rise to pathological me...

An elliptic equation of order 2m with general nonlocal boundary-value conditions, in a plane bounded domain G with piecewise smooth boundary, is considered. Generalized solutions belonging to the Sobolev space Wm 2 (G) are studied. The Fredholm property of the unbounded operator corresponding to the elliptic equation, acting on L2(G), and defined for functions from the space Wm 2 (G) that satis...

We develop a simple model for coupling the pseudo-Goldstone bosons of QCD Or's, K's, -q) to quark fields. This nonlocal model incorporates a momentum dependent dynamical quark mass ,~ (p) in a manner consistent with global chiral symmetry. Explicit current quark masses and gauge fields are also introduced. All low energy parameters of the chiral lagrangian are expressed in terms of ~(p). In par...
