| In the first part, a variational model for composition of finitely many strongly elliptic homogenous elastic materials in linear elasticity is considered. The notion of`universal coercivity' for the variational integrals is introduced which is independent of particular compositions of materials involved. Examples and counterexamples for universal coercivity are presented. In the second part, some results of recent work with colleagues on image processing and feature extraction will be displayed. | |||
