The existence of stationary radial solutions to a partial differential equation arising in the theory of epitaxial growth is studied. Our results depend on the size of a parameter that plays the role of the velocity at which mass is…
Mixing layers can grow in time or space by vortex pairings that succeed each other in a nearly self-similar way. We use a point vortex model to study how confinement eventually limits this growth process, leading us to propose a wavelength…
