The system under study is a reaction-diffusion equation in a horizontal strip, coupled to a diffusion equation on its upper boundary via an exchange condition of the Robin type. This class of models was introduced by H. Berestycki, L. Rossi…
We explore the advection-diffusion of a passive vector described by $\partial_t u + U \cdot \nabla u = - \nabla p + \nu \Delta u$, where both $U$ and $u$ are divergence-free velocity fields. We approach this equation from an input/output…
We consider a self-interacting diffusion $X$ on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $\mathbb M$, described by the stochastic differential equation \[ dX_t = \sqrt{2} dW_t(X_t)- \beta(t) \nabla V_t(X_t)dt, \] where $\beta$ is suitably…

Let $A$ be a densely defined closed, linear $\omega$-sectorial operator of angle $\theta\in [0,\frac{\pi}{2})$ on a Banach space $X$ for some $\omega\in\mathbb R$. We give an explicit representation (in terms of some special functions) and…

We prove an energy inequality for nonlocal diffusion operators of the following type, and some of its generalisations: $Lu (x) := \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} K(x,y) (u(y) - u(x)) dy$, where $L$ acts on a real function $u$ defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$,…

Let $\mathbb{H}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional real hyperbolic space, $\Delta$ its nonnegative Laplace--Beltrami operator whose bottom of the spectrum we denote by $\lambda_{0}$, and $\sigma \in (0,1)$. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the…
We consider equations of the form $ u_t = \nabla \cdot ( \gamma(u) \nabla \mathrm{N}(u))$, where $\mathrm{N}$ is the Newtonian potential (inverse of the Laplacian) posed in the whole space $\mathbb R^d$, and $\gamma(u)$ is the mobility. For…
