We consider the mathematical analysis and numerical approximation of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations that arises in models that have relevance to steady isochoric flows of colloidal suspensions. The symmetric velocity…
Our goal is to establish existence with suitable initial data of solutions to general parabolic equation in one dimension, $u_t = L(u_x)_x$, where $L$ is merely a monotone function. We also expose the basic properties of solutions,…
In this article, we study the asymptotics of harmonic functions. A typical method is by proving monotonicity formulas of a version of rescaled Dirichlet energy, and use it to study the renormalized solution -- the Almgren's blowup. However,…
It is shown that the universal steady Euler flow field, independent of boundary shape or symmetry, in a toroidal domain with fixed boundary obeys a nonlinear Beltrami equation, with the nonlinearity arising from a Boltzmann-like,…
