Domain walls in equilibrium phase transitions propagate in a preferred direction so as to minimize the free energy of the system. As a result, initial spatio-temporal patterns ultimately decay toward uniform states. The absence of a…

Using the transfer matrix method, we give the exact solution of a deterministic sandpile model for arbitrary $N$, where $N$ is the size of a single toppling. The one- and two-point functions are given in term of the eigenvalues of an $N…

The Abelian sandpile growth model is a diffusion process for configurations of chips placed on vertices of the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in which sites with at least 2d chips {\em topple}, distributing 1 chip to each of their…

We consider a strongly nonlinear differential equation of the following general type $$(\Phi(a(t,x(t)) \, x'(t)))'= f(t,x(t),x'(t)), \quad \text{a.e. on $[0,T]$}$$ where $f$ is a Carath\'edory function, $\Phi$ is a strictly increasing…

We add a defect line of dissipation, or crack, to the Abelian sandpile model. We find that the defect line renormalizes to separate the two-dimensional plane into two half planes with open boundary conditions. We also show that varying the…

The flow of the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate is studied with simulation of Navier-Stokes equations. The mechanisms of flow instability at external edge of the boundary layer and near the wall are analyzed using the energy gradient…

The quasi-variational inequalities play a significant role in analyzing a wide range of real-world problems. However, these problems are more complicated to solve than variational inequalities as the constraint set is based on the current…
