Computational homogenization for the estimation of overall properties in linear viscoelastic composites

The exploration of two-phase composite materials through the lens of asymptotichomogenization presents a fascinating intersection of materials science and mathematicalmodeling. The study in question proposes a novel hybrid method that avoids the traditional
use of the Laplace-Carson transform, a complex mathematical tool often employed in the analysis of systems with linear viscoelastic properties. By utilizing lambda functions, which are a staple in functional programming languages due to their flexibility and conciseness,
the proposed method aims to streamline the calculation of local functions and effective coefficients. Lambda functions, by their very nature, allow for a more succinct expression of mathematical operations, which can be particularly advantageous in the context of
computational materials science. The hybrid method's reliance on these anonymous functions suggests a potential reduction in computational complexity, which could lead to
faster processing times and more efficient simulations. This is crucial in a field where the modeling of materials often requires extensive computational resources, especially when
dealing with two-scale periodicity where the behavior at two distinct scales must be accurately captured.
The study focuses on the analysis of two-phase composite materials with two scale periodicity and linear viscoelastic properties. A hybrid method based on asymptoticexpansion is proposed alternative to calculate the local functions and the effective
coefficients derived from asymptotic homogenization approach without having to employ the Laplace-Carson transform. For this, lambda functions are used, also known as anonymous functions, typical of functional programming languages. The comparison
between both approaches is made considering criteria of computational complexity and precision.

Quantum Uncertainty, the Heisenberg Group,
and the Sub-Laplacian Operator:
A Mathematical Bridge

The interplay between partial differential equations (PDEs) and quantum
physics has long been a source of profound mathematical insights. In this talk, we explore the deep connections between quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg group, and the sub-Laplacian operator, revealing a fascinating mathematical bridge between these areas. We begin with an overview of the uncertainty prin-
ciple in quantum mechanics, highlighting its foundational role in understanding the limits of measurement and its mathematical formulation in terms of com- mutators. From there, we introduce the Heisenberg group Hn, a nilpotent Lie group that arises naturally in the study of quantum systems and sub-Riemannian ge-
ometry. We discuss its group structure, Lie algebra, and the canonical commutation relations that mirror the uncertainty principle. The Heisenberg group serves as a prototype for hypoelliptic operators, and we focus on the sub-Laplacian operator, a second-order differential operator that is central to the analysis of PDEs on Hn. We examine its spectral properties, eigenfunctions, and its role in

bridging the gap between classical PDE theory and quantum mechanics. Additionally, we introduce some challenging open problems that arise in this context. Through this exploration, we demonstrate how the Heisenberg group and the sub-Laplacian operator provide a unifying framework for understanding both physical phenomena and mathematical structures.
