Instead of using frequency dependent refractive index, we propose to use the extinction theorem to describe reflection and transmission of an ultrashort pulse passing through the boundary. When the duration of the pulse is comparable with…

We study the long time behaviour of solutions of semi-linear parabolic equation of the following type $\partial_t u-\Delta u+a_0(x)u^q=0$ where $a_0(x) \geq d_0 \exp(\frac{\omega(|x|)}{|x|^2})$, $d_0>0$, $1>q>0$ and $\omega$ a positive…

We prove optimal estimates for the decay in time of solutions to a rather general class of non-local in time subdiffusion equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$. An important special case is the time-fractional diffusion equation, which has seen much…

In this paper we obtain bounds for the decay rate for solutions to the nonlocal problem $\partial_t u(t,x) = \int_{\R^n} J(x,y)[u(t,y) - u(t,x)] dy$. Here we deal with bounded kernels $J$ but with polynomial tails, that is, we assume a…

We consider a class of nonlocal reaction-diffusion problems, referred to as replicator-mutator equations in evolutionary genetics. By using explicit changes of unknown function, we show that they are equivalent to the heat equation and,…

We provide the classification of eternal (or ancient) solutions of the two-dimensional Ricci flow, which is equivalent to the fast diffusion equation $ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \Delta \log u $ on $ \R^2 \times \R.$ We show that,…

Observations show that the slope of the inner part of the H$\alpha$/[NII] rotation curves of disk galaxies is depressed by extinction: at fixed luminosity, the observed slope is in fact seen to depend on the disk inclination to the line of…

Under mild non-degeneracy assumptions on branching rates in each generation, we provide a criterion for almost-sure extinction of a multi-type branching process with time-dependent branching rates. We also provide a criterion for the total…
