Description:: Non-Euclidean thin plates arise in different circumstances: differential growth, swelling, shrinking or plastic deformations can set the geometry of an elastic body to a preferred 'target metric'. In our model, the latter plays the main role in determining the shape of the plate. We use analytical techniques in the context of calculus of variati...

Description:: There is emerging interest in using soft materials for energy conversion, particularly in the conversion of light and heat energy into mechanical work. Liquid crystals, where the coupling of orientational order and strain/stress may be employed for this purpose, are promising materials for such applications. The celebrated work of Onsager [1] on...

Description:: The dependence on available information is known to vanish for many `mean field' control problems. We investigate the role that information plays in the fluctuations about these mean field limits. In particular, we show how the fluctuations can be calculated efficiently for discrete mean field control problems with partial information, even when...
