We study the regularity of solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations of -Laplace type modeled from composite materials. The main difficulty comes from the geometric structures of the composite, specifically the disjoint Reifenberg flat subdomains , their boundaries , and the BMO smallness properties of each tensor coefficient that pose significant challenges. In this paper, we develop a novel free-scaling approach to establish the local decay estimates for level sets of the gradient of the weak solutions. This approach is of independent technical interest, and it is flexible enough to be applied for deriving improved gradient regularity in a larger class of rearrangement-invariant function spaces.

This work establishes a lower bound for the Morse index of radial nodal solutions for a general class of gradient-type elliptic systems. By relating the Morse index to the negative eigenvalues of the associated linearized operator, we construct a set of non-radial eigenfunctions to find negative directions for the quadratic form. The main result shows the Morse index is bounded from below by , where and are the number of nodal domains of the solutions. Furthermore, this work explores how the estimate for the Morse index influences the structural properties of radial and nodal solutions.

This paper investigates the global boundedness of solutions to a mosquito-borne disease system with chemotaxis via new approach. More specifically, by means of the loop arguments, we prove the existence of a unique globally bounded classical solution to the system without any constraint on initial data in any spatial dimension. This result generalizes some relevant results.

A new nonlinear super vector equation is obtained according to a matrix spectral problem with the help of the compatibility condition. When , the corresponding hierarchy of equations is deduced and its Hamiltonian structures are constructed by means of the supertrace identity. Then an -component super CH equation is gained from a negative flow associated with the original matrix spectral problem, which admits exact solutions with -peakons, and a super dynamical system that the potentials evolve with is derived. Moreover, the infinitely many conservation laws of the -component super CH equation are discussed.

This paper presents a novel local semi-analytical meshless method, based on the fundamental solutions, for acoustic eigenfrequency and modal analysis in complex two- and three-dimensional domains. The proposed approach requires only a set of discrete nodes distributed within the domain and along its boundary, thereby eliminating the need for mesh generation. By combining the moving least squares approximation with spline weight functions, locally supported coefficient matrices are constructed. The eigenfrequencies and modes are then obtained through the singular value decomposition. This local strategy effectively mitigates numerical instability, addresses the ill-conditioning issues commonly encountered in traditional global meshless methods, and avoids the mesh dependency inherent in the finite element method. Numerical experiments on both two- and three-dimensional cases demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher computational accuracy compared to the conventional approaches, particularly in capturing high-frequency modal characteristics. The results highlight its potential as an efficient and robust tool for vibration and noise analysis in complex acoustic structures.

Dual quaternions provide a powerful mathematical tool for robust point cloud registration through their compact and unified representation of three-dimensional rigid transformations. In this paper, we present a dual quaternion matrix formulation for 3D point cloud registration via a dual-complex representation. We reformulate the rigid transformation as a complex linear system, which enables the direct and unified computation of rotation and translation without the need for iterative refinement. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In this paper, we systemically introduce completely positive biquadratic (CPBQ) tensors and copositive biquadratic tensors. We show that all weakly CPBQ tensors are sum of squares tensors, the CPBQ tensor cone and the copositive biquadratic tensor cone are dual cone to each other. We also show that the outer product of two completely positive matrices is a CPBQ tensor, and the outer product of two copositive matrices is a copositive biquadratic tensor. We then study two easily checkable subclasses of CPBQ tensors, namely positive biquadratic Cauchy tensors and biquadratic Pascal tensors. We show that a biquadratic Pascal tensor is both strongly CPBQ and positive definite.
