Compressibility regularizes the "" rheology for granular flows

J. Heyman, R. Delannay, H. Tabuteau +1

The -rheology has been recently proposed as a potential candidate to model the flow of frictional grains in a dense inertial regime. However, this rheology was shown to be il…

Reconstructing plane quartics from their invariants

Reynald Lercier, Christophe Ritzenthaler, Jeroen Sijsling

We present an explicit method that, given a generic tuple of Dixmier-Ohno invariants, reconstructs a corresponding plane quartic curve.

Heteroclinic structure of parametric resonance in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

M. Conforti, A. Mussot, A. Kudlinski +5

We show that the nonlinear stage of modulational instability induced by parametric driving in the {\em defocusing} nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be accurately described by com…

On semibounded Wiener-Hopf operators

D. R. Yafaev

We show that a semibounded Wiener-Hopf quadratic form is closable in the space if and only if its integral kernel is the Fourier transform of an absolutely cont…
