We derive general conditions of slip of a fluid on the boundary. Under these conditions the velocity of the fluid on the immovable boundary is a function of the normal and tangential components of the force acting on the surface of the fluid. A problem on stationary flow of an electrorheological fluid in which the terms of slip are specified on one part of the boundary and surface forces are given on the other is formulated and studied. Existence of a solution of this problem is proved by using the methods of penalty functions, monotonicity and compactness. It is shown that the method of penalty functions and the Galerkin approximations can be used for the approximate solution of the problem under consideration.

We set up and study a coupled problem on stationary non-isothermal flow of electrorheological fluids. The problem consist in finding functions of velocity, pressure and temperature which satisfy the motion equations, the condition of incompressibility, the equation of the balance of thermal energy and boundary conditions. We introduce the notions of a $P$-generalized solution and generalized solution of the coupled problem. In case of the $P$-generalized solution the dissipation of energy is defined by the regularized velocity field, which leads to a nonlocal model. Under weak conditions, we prove the existence of the $P$ -generalized solution of the coupled problem. The existence of the generalized solution is proved under the conditions on smoothness of the boundary and on smallness of the data of the problem
We develop a model of an electrorheological fluid such that the fluid is considered as an anisotropic one with the viscosity depending on the second invariant of the rate of strain tensor, on the module of the vector of electric field strength, and on the angle between the vectors of velocity and electric field. We study general problems on the flow of such fluids at nonhomogeneous mixed boundary conditions, wherein values of velocities and surface forces are given on different parts of the boundary. We consider the cases where the viscosity function is continuous and singular, equal to infinity, when the second invariant of the rate of strain tensor is equal to zero. In the second case the problem is reduced to a variational inequality. By using the methods of a fixed point, monotonicity, and compactness, we prove existence results for the problems under consideration. Some efficient methods for numerical solution of the problems are examined.
We present a simple one-dimensional Ising-type spin system on which we define a completely asymmetric Markovian single spin-flip dynamics. We study the system at a very low, yet non-zero, temperature and we show that for empty boundary conditions the Gibbs measure is stationary for such dynamics, while introducing in a single site a $+$ condition the stationary measure changes drastically, with macroscopical effects. We achieve this result defining an absolutely convergent series expansion of the stationary measure around the zero temperature system. Interesting combinatorial identities are involved in the proofs.
In this paper we improve the understanding of the cofactor conditions, which are particular conditions of geometric compatibility between austenite and martensite, that are believed to influence reversibility of martensitic transformations. We also introduce a physically motivated metric to measure how closely a material satisfies the cofactor conditions, as the two currently used in the literature can give contradictory results. We introduce a new condition of super-compatibility between martensitic laminates, which potentially reduces hysteresis and enhances reversibility. Finally, we show that this new condition of super-compatibility is very closely satisfied by Zn45Au30Cu25, the first of a class of recently discovered materials, fabricated to closely satisfy the cofactor conditions, and undergoing ultra-reversible martensitic transformation.
A recently proposed approach for avoiding the ultraviolet divergence of Hamiltonians with particle creation is based on interior-boundary conditions (IBCs). The approach works well in the non-relativistic case, that is, for the Laplacian operator. Here, we study how the approach can be applied to Dirac operators. While this has been done successfully already in 1 space dimension, and more generally for codimension-1 boundaries, the situation of point sources in 3 dimensions corresponds to a codimension-3 boundary. One would expect that, for such a boundary, Dirac operators do not allow for boundary conditions because they are known not to allow for point interactions in 3d, which also correspond to a boundary condition. And indeed, we confirm this expectation here by proving that there is no self-adjoint operator on (a truncated) Fock space that would correspond to a Dirac operator with an IBC at configurations with a particle at the origin. However, we also present a positive result showing that there are self-adjoint operators with IBC (on the boundary consisting of configurations with a particle at the origin) that are, away from those configurations, given by a Dirac operator plus a sufficiently strong Coulomb potential.
