We study the nonlocal Stefan problem, where the phase transition is described by a nonlocal diffusion as well as the change of enthalpy functions. By using a stochastic optimization approach introduced for the local case, we construct…
We study the supercooled Stefan problem in arbitrary dimensions. First, we study general solutions and their irregularities, showing generic fractal freezing and nucleation, based on a novel Markovian gluing principle. In contrast, we then…
We study the free boundary in the supercooled Stefan problem, a classical model for the solidification of water below its freezing temperature. In contrast with the melting problem, physical experiments and heuristics indicate that the…
In this paper we study singular limits of congestion-averse growth models, connecting different models describing the effect of congestion. These models arise in particular in the context of tissue growth. The main ingredient of our…
In this paper we study the regularity property of Hele-Shaw flow, where source and drift are present in the evolution. More specifically we consider H\"{o}lder continuous source and Lipschitz continuous drift. We show that if the free…
This paper addresses congested transport, which can be described, at macroscopic scales, by a continuity equation with a pressure variable generated from the hard-congestion constraint (maximum value of the density). The main goal of the…
This paper reviews (and expands) some recent results on the modeling of aggregation-diffusion phenomena at various scales, focusing on the emergence of collective dynamics as a result of the competition between attractive and repulsive…
In this paper, we study a tumor growth model where the growth is driven by nutrient availability and the tumor expands according to Darcy's law with a mechanical pressure resulting from the incompressibility of the cells. Our focus is on…
We consider a model of congestion dynamics with chemotaxis: The density of cells follows a chemical signal it generates, while subject to an incompressibility constraint. The incompressibility constraint results in the formation of patches,…
In this paper, we study a tumor growth model with nutrients. The contact inhibition for the tumor cells, presented in the model, results in the evolution of a congested tumor patch. We study the regularity of the tumor patch as the…
We study the incompressible limit of the porous medium equation with a reaction term that is non-monotone with respect to the pressure variable. More specifically we consider reaction terms that are either bistable or monostable. We show…
We consider a model of congestion dynamics with chemotaxis, where the density of cells follows the chemical signal it generates, while observing an incompressibility constraint. We show that when the chemical diffuses slowly and attracts…
In this paper we study a tumor growth model with nutrients. The model presents dynamic patch solutions due to the contact inhibition among the tumor cells. We show that when the nutrients do not diffuse and the cells do not die, the tumor…
We study the incompressible limit of the porous medium equation with a right hand side representing either a source or a sink term, and an injection boundary condition. This model can be seen as a simplified description of non-monotone…
We study regularity properties of the free boundary for solutions of the porous medium equation with the presence of drift. We show the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary, when the solution is directionally monotone in space…
We introduce a novel variant of the JKO scheme to approximate Darcy's law with a pressure dependent source term. By introducing a new variable that implicitly controls the source term, our scheme is still able to use the standard…
In this work we consider the global existence of volume-preserving crystalline curvature flow in a non-convex setting. We show that a natural geometric property, associated with reflection symmetries of the Wulff shape, is preserved with…
We prove the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of minimizers of a polyconvex functional in two and three dimensions, which corresponds to the $H^1$ projection of measure-preserving maps. Our result introduces a new criteria on the…
Inspired by recent works on the threshold dynamics scheme for multi-phase mean curvature flow (by Esedo\={g}lu-Otto and Laux-Otto), we introduce a novel framework to approximate solutions of the Muskat problem with surface tension. Our…
This paper investigates geometric properties and well-posedness of a mean curvature flow with volume-dependent forcing. With the class of forcing which bounds the volume of the evolving set away from zero and infinity, we show that a strong…
