Dynamics and stationary configurations of heterogeneous foams
Dong Wang, Andrej Cherkaev, Braxton Osting
We consider the variational foam model, where the goal is to minimize the total surface area of a collection of bubbles subject to the constraint that the volume of each bubble is…
A maximal energy pointset configuration problem
Braxton Osting, Brian Simanek
We consider the extremal pointset configuration problem of maximizing a kernel-based energy subject to the geometric constraints that the points are contained in a fixed set, the p…
Extremal Spectral Gaps for Periodic Schrödinger Operators
Chiu-Yen Kao, Braxton Osting
The spectrum of a Schrödinger operator with periodic potential generally consists of bands and gaps. In this paper, for fixed m, we consider the problem of maximizing the gap-to-mi…
A diffusion generated method for computing Dirichlet partitions
Dong Wang, Braxton Osting
A Dirichlet -partition of a closed -dimensional surface is a collection of pairwise disjoint open subsets such that the sum of their first Laplace-Beltrami-Dirichlet eige…
Spectral band degeneracies of rotationally invariant periodic Schrödinger operators
Rachael T. Keller, Jeremy L. Marzuola, Braxton Osting +1
The dynamics of waves in periodic media is determined by the band structure of the underlying periodic Hamiltonian. Symmetries of the Hamiltonian can give rise to novel properties…
