An obstacle problem for Tug-of-War games
We consider the obstacle problem for the infinity Laplace equation. Given a
Lipschitz boundary function and a Lipschitz obstacle we prove the existence and
uniqueness of a super infinity-harmonic function constrained to lie above the
obstacle which is infinity harmonic where it lies strictly above the obstacle.
Moreover, we show that this function is the limit of value functions of a game
we call obstacle tug-of-war
Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation
Forty articles have been recently published in EPJD as contributions to the
topical issue "Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation". The aim of this
topical issue was to provide a forum for the presentation of a broad variety of
scientific results involving the Vlasov equation. In this editorial, after some
introductory notes, a brief account is given of the main points addressed in
these papers and of the perspectives they open.Comment: Editoria
Spectral Statistics in Large Shell Model Calculations
The spectral statistics of low--lying states of shell nuclei are studied
by performing large shell--model calculations with a realistic nuclear
interaction. For isotopes, we find deviations from the predictions of the
random--matrix theory which suggest that some spherical nuclei are not as
chaotic in nature as the conventional view assumes.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, 3 figures available upon request, to appear in
