Interaction equations governing slow time evolution of the coordinates and phases of two interacting temporal cavity solitons in a delay differential equation model of a nonlinear mirror mode-locked laser are derived and analyzed. It is shown that non-local pulse interaction due to gain depletion and recovery can lead either to a development of harmonic mode-locking regime, or to a formation of closely packed incoherent soliton bound state with weakly oscillating intersoliton time separation. Local interaction via electric field tails can result in an anti-phase or in-phase stationary or breathing harmonic mode-locking regime.

The modeling framework of GENERIC was originally introduced by Grmela and Öttinger for thermodynamically closed systems. It is phrased with the aid of the energy and entropy as driving functionals for reversible and dissipative processes and suitable geometric structures. Based on the definition functional derivatives we propose a GENERIC framework for systems with bulk-interface interaction and apply it to discuss the GENERIC structure of models for delamination processes.

We propose a general non-accelerated tensor method under inexact information on higher- order derivatives, analyze its convergence rate, and provide sufficient conditions for this method to have similar complexity as the exact tensor method. As a corollary, we propose the first stochastic tensor method for convex optimization and obtain sufficient mini-batch sizes for each derivative.

We show existence of an energetic solution to a model of shape memory alloys in which the elastic energy is described by means of a gradient-polyconvex functional. This allows us to show existence of a solution based on weak continuity of nonlinear minors of deformation gradients in Sobolev spaces. Admissible deformations do not necessarily have integrable second derivatives. Under suitable assumptions, our model allows for solutions which are orientation-preserving and globally injective everywhere in the domain representing the specimen. Theoretical results are supported by three-dimensional computational examples. This work is an extended version of [36].

We present a coarse-graining (or model order reduction) procedure for stochastic matrices by clustering. The method is consistent with the natural structure of Markov theory, preserving positivity and mass, and does not rely on any tools from Hilbert space theory. The reconstruction is provided by a generalized Penrose-Moore inverse of the coarse-graining operator incorporating the inhomogeneous invariant measure of the Markov matrix. As we show, the method provides coarse-graining and reconstruction also on the level of tensor spaces, which is consistent with the notion of an incidence matrix and quotient graphs, and, moreover, allows to coarse-grain and reconstruct fluxes. Furthermore, we investigate the connection with functional inequalities and Poincaré-type constants.

We consider the i.i.d. Bernoulli field μ p on Z d with occupation density p ∈ [0,1]. To each realization of the set of occupied sites we apply a thinning map that removes all occupied sites that are isolated in graph distance. We show that, while this map seems non-invasive for large p, as it changes only a small fraction p(1-p)2d of sites, there is p(d) <1 such that for all p ∈ (p(d), 1) the resulting measure is a non-Gibbsian measure, i.e., it does not possess a continuous version of its finite-volume conditional probabilities. On the other hand, for small p, the Gibbs property is preserved.

We consider an optical resonator containing a photonic crystal fiber and driven coherently by an injected beam. This device is described by a generalized Lugiato--Lefever equation with fourth order dispersion We use an asymptotic approach to derive interaction equations governing the slow time evolution of the coordinates of two interacting dissipative solitons. We show that Cherenkov radiation induced by positive fourth-order dispersion leads to a strong increase of the interaction force between the solitons. As a consequence, large number of equidistant soliton bound states in the phase space of the interaction equations can be stabilized. We show that the presence of even small spectral filtering not only dampens the Cherenkov radiation at the soliton tails and reduces the interaction strength, but can also affect the bound state stability.

We study a class of infinite-dimensional diffusions under Gibbsian interactions, in the context of marked point configurations: The starting points belong to R^d, and the marks are the paths of Langevin diffusions. We use the entropy method to prove existence of an infinite-volume Gibbs point process and use cluster expansion tools to provide an explicit activity domain in which uniqueness holds.

We provide precompactness and metrizability of the probability space Ω for random measures and random coefficients such as they widely appear in stochastic homogenization and are typically given from data. We show that these properties are enough to implement the convenient two-scale formalism by Zhikov and Piatnitsky (2006). To further demonstrate the benefits of our approach we provide some useful trace and extension operators for Sobolev functions on Ω, which seem not known in literature. On the way we close some minor gaps in the Sobolev theory on Ω which seemingly have not been proven up to date.

Using the multiscale technique we develop a generalized version of the class-B Haus modelocking model that accounts for both the slow gain response to the averaged value of the field intensity and the fast gain dynamics on the scale comparable to the pulse duration. We show that unlike the standard class-B Haus mode-locked model, our model is able to describe not only Q-switched instability of the fundamental mode-locked regime, but also the appearance of harmonic mode-locked regimes with the increase of the pump power.
