We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem with a cost function of the form $c(x_{1}, \ldots,x_{m})=\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}|x_{k}-x_{k+1}|^{2} + |x_{m}- F(x_{1})|^{2}$, where $F: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. When $m=4$,…

The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem has recently been considered in various applications where the coupling needs to be \emph{sparse}, i.e., the density of the coupling needs to be zero for a large subset of the product…

We find an explicit form of entropy solutions to a Riemann problem for a degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation with piecewise constant velocity and diffusion coefficients. It is demonstrated that this solution corresponds to the minimum…

Using the method of sub-super-solution, we construct a solution of $(-\Delta)^su-cu_z-f(u)=0$ on $\R^3$ of pyramidal shape. Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplacian of sub-critical order $1/2<s<1$ and $f$ is a bistable nonlinearity.…

We study travelling wave solutions, that is, solutions of the form $v(t, x) = e^{i\lambda t}u(g(t)x)$, to nonlinear Schr\"odinger and Klein-Gordon equations on Riemannian manifolds, both compact and non-compact ones, with emphasis on the…
