Initiation of Cracks in Griffith's Theory: An Argument of Continuity in Favor of Global Minimization
12 years 11 months ago
The initiation of a crack in a sound body is a real issue in the setting of Griffith's theory of brittle fracture. If one uses the concept of critical energy release rate (Gri...

We study soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (NLS) with a saturated nonlinearity. NLS with such a nonlinearity is known to possess a minimal mass soliton. We ...

Quasipatterns (two-dimensional patterns that are quasiperiodic in any spatial direction) remain one of the outstanding problems of pattern formation. As with problems involving qu...
