On global and local minimizers of prestrained thin elastic rods
Marco Cicalese, Matthias Ruf, Francesco Solombrino
We study the stable configurations of a thin three-dimensional weakly prestrained rod subject to a terminal load as the thickness of the section vanishes. By -convergence we der…

Chirality transitions in frustrated -valued spin systems
Marco Cicalese, Matthias Ruf, Francesco Solombrino
We study the discrete-to-continuum limit of the helical XY -spin system on the lattice . We scale the interaction parameters in order to reduce the model to…
