More precisely, for any 1&lt;q&lt;(p+1)/2 we construct W1,q-bi-Sobolev maps with identity boundary conditions; for f∈L∞, we provide bi-Lipschitz maps. The basic building block of our construction are bi-Lipschitz maps which stretch a given compact subset of the unit square by a given factor while preserving the boundary. The construction of these stretching maps relies on a slight strengthening of the celebrated covering result of Alberti, Csörnyei, and Preiss for measurable planar sets in the case of compact sets. We apply our result to a model functional in nonlinear elasticity, the integrand of which features fast blowup as the Jacobian determinant of the deformation becomes small. For such functionals, the derivation of the equilibrium equations for minimizers requires an additional regularization of test functions, which our maps provide.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","day":"05","intvolume":"       266","title":"Bi-Sobolev solutions to the prescribed Jacobian inequality in the plane with L p data and applications to nonlinear elasticity","arxiv":1,"oa":1,"publist_id":"7770","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:54Z","date_updated":"2023-09-08T13:25:35Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"151","article_processing_charge":"No","publisher":"Elsevier","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jde.2018.07.045","month":"01"},{"status":"public","article_type":"original","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"quality_controlled":"1","arxiv":1,"title":"The choice of representative volumes in the approximation of effective properties of random materials","intvolume":"       234","day":"01","date_created":"2019-07-07T21:59:23Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_updated":"2025-04-15T06:53:15Z","oa":1,"ddc":["500"],"month":"11","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00205-019-01400-w","publisher":"Springer","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","_id":"6617","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"JuFi"}],"scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","has_accepted_license":"1","publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1007/s00205-019-01400-w","year":"2019","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:34Z","corr_author":"1","citation":{"mla":"Fischer, Julian L. “The Choice of Representative Volumes in the Approximation of Effective Properties of Random Materials.” <i>Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis</i>, vol. 234, no. 2, Springer, 2019, pp. 635–726, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00205-019-01400-w\">10.1007/s00205-019-01400-w</a>.","short":"J.L.

Intuitively, for a fixed sample size it should be possible to increase the accuracy of the method by choosing a material sample which captures the statistical properties of the material particularly well; for example, for a composite material consisting of two constituents, one would select a representative volume in which the volume fraction of the constituents matches closely with their volume fraction in the overall material. Inspired by similar attempts in materials science, Le Bris, Legoll and Minvielle have designed a selection approach for representative volumes which performs remarkably well in numerical examples of linear materials with moderate contrast. In the present work, we provide a rigorous analysis of this selection approach for representative volumes in the context of stochastic homogenization of linear elliptic equations. In particular, we prove that the method essentially never performs worse than a random selection of the material sample and may perform much better if the selection criterion for the material samples is chosen suitably."}],"file":[{"creator":"kschuh","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":1377659,"file_name":"Springer_2019_Fischer.pdf","date_created":"2019-07-08T15:56:47Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:34Z","relation":"main_file","file_id":"6626","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"4cff75fa6addb0770991ad9c474ab404"}],"date_published":"2019-11-01T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["1807.00834"],"isi":["000482386000006"]},"publication":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","project":[{"_id":"B67AFEDC-15C9-11EA-A837-991A96BB2854","name":"IST Austria Open Access Fund"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1432-0673"],"issn":["0003-9527"]}},{"_id":"6762","article_processing_charge":"No","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1137/18M1207272","month":"07","publisher":"SIAM","oa":1,"date_created":"2019-08-04T21:59:21Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2025-07-10T11:53:49Z","day":"16","title":"New optimal control problems in density functional theory motivated by photovoltaics","intvolume":"        17","arxiv":1,"quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1540-3467"],"issn":["1540-3459"]},"external_id":{"isi":["000487931800002"],"arxiv":["1808.04200"]},"publication":"Multiscale Modeling and Simulation","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.04200","open_access":"1"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2019-07-16T00:00:00Z","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We present and study novel optimal control problems motivated by the search for photovoltaic materials with high power-conversion efficiency.

Our assumptions on the reaction rates are just the entropy condition and local Lipschitz continuity; in particular, we do not impose any growth restrictions on the reaction rates. Therefore, our result applies to any single reversible reaction with mass-action kinetics as well as to systems of reversible reactions with mass-action kinetics satisfying the detailed balance condition. Renormalized solutions are known to exist globally in time for reaction–diffusion equations with entropy-dissipating reaction rates; in contrast, the global-in-time existence of weak solutions is in general still an open problem–even for smooth data–, thereby motivating the study of renormalized solutions. The key ingredient of our result is a careful adjustment of the usual relative entropy functional, whose evolution cannot be controlled properly for weak solutions or renormalized solutions.","lang":"eng"}]}]
