In this paper, we study the asymptotic limit, as $\varepsilon\to 0$, of solutions to a vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation $$ \partial_t u = \Delta u - \frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \partial_u F(u), $$ where $u: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^m \to…

This paper is concerned with the spatially periodic Fisher-KPP equation $u_t=(d(x)u_x)_x+(r(x)-u)u$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$, where $d(x)$ and $r(x)$ are periodic functions with period $L>0$. We assume that $r(x)$ has positive mean and $d(x)>0$.…

In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. By means of elementary arguments, we prove that such a singularity cannot occur in finite time for vortex sheet…

We consider an Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion, motivated by the study of the scaling limit of certain interacting particle systems. We investigate its singular limit and show the generation and propagation of an interface in…

We investigate the limiting behavior of the Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard model for binary-fluid flows as the diffuse-interface thickness passes to zero, in the presence of fluid-fluid-solid contact lines. Allowing for motion of such contact…

We study the scalar curvature of the Fisher information metric on the microscopic coupling-parameter manifold of lattice spin models at criticality. For a $d$-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions and $n = L^d$ sites, the…

It is generally accepted that the effective velocity of a viscous flow over a porous bed satisfies the Beavers-Joseph slip law. To the contrary, in the case of a forced infiltration of a viscous fluid into a porous medium the interface law…

We rigorously prove the convergence of weak solutions to a model for lipid raft formation in cell membranes which was recently proposed by Garcke et al. to weak (varifold) solutions of the corresponding sharp-interface problem for a…

We consider the initial value problem for the generalized Allen-Cahn equation, \[\partial_t \Phi = \Delta \Phi-\varepsilon^{-2} \Phi (\Phi^t \Phi - I), \qquad x \in \Omega, \ t\geq 0,\] where $\Phi$ is an $n\times n$ real matrix-valued…

When a droplet spreads on a solid substrate, it is unclear what are the correct boundary conditions to impose at the moving contact line. The classical no-slip condition is generally acknowledged to lead to a non-integrable singularity at…

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes system in the half space. We prove the unique solvability of the weak solution on some short time interval (0, T) with the velocity in $C^{\alpha, \frac12…

Exceptional points (EPs) exhibit strongly enhanced spectral responses and are therefore promising candidates for sensing applications. Whether these non-Hermitian degeneracies provide a genuine advantage in the quantum regime has been the…

We show that a double degenerate thin film equation, which originated from modeling of viscous coating flow on a spherical surface, has finite speed of propagation for nonnegative strong solutions and hence there exists an interface or free…

We consider the Fisher-KPP equation on a three-dimensional domain surrounded by a thin layer whose diffusion rates are drastically different from that in the bulk. The bulk is isotropic, while the layer is considered to be anisotropic and…
