We consider a coupled system describing the interaction between acoustic and elastic regions, where the coupling occurs not via material properties but through an interaction on an interface separating the two regimes. Evolutionary…
The Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) growth of $1+1$ interface is considered in the background of the correlated random noise. We use random Coulomb potential as the background long-range correlated noise. A depinning transition is observed in a…

We study a nonlocal adhesion model for two interacting tumor cell phenotypes, combining diffusion, pairwise interactions, and random phenotypic switching. The system admits a microscopic diffusion--jump particle description whose mean-field…
We introduce a notion of state-constraint viscosity solutions for one dimensional \junction"-type problems for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with non convex coercive Hamiltonians and study its well- posedness and stability properties. We show…
We analyze the sharp interface limit for the Allen-Cahn equation with an anisotropic, spatially periodic mobility coefficient and prove that the large-scale behavior of interfaces is determined by mean curvature flow with an effective…
In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness of the martingale problem associated to non-linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in the sense of McKean-Vlasov under mild assumptions on the coefficients as well as classical…
We study the asymptotics of Allen-Cahn-type bistable reaction-diffusion equations which are additively perturbed by a stochastic forcing (time white noise). The conclusion is that the long time, large space behavior of the solutions is…
We consider the adsorption of a random heteropolymer onto an interface within the model by Garel et al. [1] by taking into account self-interactions between the monomers. Within the replica trick and by using a self-consistent preaveraging…
We consider a diffusion process on the edges of a finite network and allow for feedback effects between different, possibly non-adjacent edges. This generalizes the setting that is common in the literature, where the only considered…
The pinning-depinning phase transitions of interfaces for two classes of discrete elastic-string models are investigated numerically. In the (1+1)-dimensions, we revisit these two elastic-string models with slight modification to growth…
In this paper a time dependent Stokes problem that is motivated by a standard sharp interface model for the fluid dynamics of two-phase flows is studied. This Stokes interface problem has discontinuous density and viscosity coefficients and…
When a elastic body is moved quasistatically back and forth over a surface, the friction of the interface is experimentally observed to circulate through a hysteretic loop. The asymptotic behaviour of the hysteresis loop is approached…
We consider the sharp interface limit of a coupled Stokes/Cahn\textendash Hilliard system in a two dimensional, bounded and smooth domain, i.e., we consider the limiting behavior of solutions when a parameter $\epsilon>0$ corresponding to…
A solid-liquid-gas moving contact line is considered through a diffuse-interface model with the classical boundary condition of no-slip at the solid surface. Examination of the asymptotic behaviour as the contact line is approached shows…
A simple model for an interface moving in a disordered medium is presented. The model exhibits a transition between the two universality classes of interface growth phenomena. Using this model, it is shown that the application of…
We consider the evolution of self-gravitating matter fields that may undergo phase transitions, and we connect ideas from phase transition dynamics with concepts from bouncing cosmology. Our framework introduces scattering maps prescribed…
We consider a nonlinear fourth order in space partial differential equation arising in the context of the modeling of nonlinear acoustic wave propagation in thermally relaxing viscous fluids. We use the theory of operator semigroups in…
When a frictional interface is subject to a localized shear load, it is often (experimentally) observed that local slip events initiate at the stress concentration and propagate over parts of the interface by arresting naturally before…
This paper is concerned with a model for the dynamics of a single species in a one-dimensional heterogeneous environment. The environment consists of two kinds of patches, which are periodically alternately arranged along the spatial axis.…
