The Muskat problem, in its general setting, concerns the interface evolution between two incompressible fluids of different densities and viscosities in porous media. The interface motion is driven by gravity and capillarity forces, where…
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with initial data that is bounded by a Gaussian in the velocity variable. In the case of moderately soft potentials, we show that weak solutions immediately become smooth and remain…
The Cauchy problem for the Zakharov system in four dimensions is considered. Some new well-posedness results are obtained. For small initial data, global well-posedness and scattering results are proved, including the case of initial data…
In the paper, we discuss the two-dimensional contact Muskat problem with zero surface tension of a free boundary. The initial shape of the unknown interface is a smooth simple curve which forms acute corners $\delta_{0}$ and $\delta_{1}$…
In this paper we study the regularity properties of the "good" Boussinesq equation on the half line. We obtain local existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data in low-regularity spaces. Moreover we prove that the…
We consider a transmission problem where a structurally damped plate equation is coupled with a damped or undamped wave equation by transmission conditions. We show that exponential stability holds in the damped-damped situation and…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of fluids in porous media governed by Darcy's law: the Muskat problem. We consider the setting of two immiscible fluids of different densities and viscosities under the influence of gravity in which one…
In the present work, we investigate estimates of regularity for weak solutions to the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with soft potentials. We restrict our focus to the so-called "typically rough and slowly decaying data", which is…
Systems that are not smooth can undergo bifurcations that are forbidden in smooth systems. We review some of the phenomena that can occur for piecewise-smooth, continuous maps and flows when a fixed point or an equilibrium collides with a…
A model of two coupled Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) lattices is introduced. While the system as a whole is not integrable, it admits reduction to the integrable AL model for symmetric states. Stability and evolution of symmetric solitons are studied…
This paper reviews various applications of the theory of smooth dynamical systems to conceptual problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. We adopt a new point of view which has emerged progressively in recent years, and which takes…
We prove a strong non-structure theorem for a class of metric structures with an unstable pair of formulae. As a consequence, we show that weak categoricity (that is, categoricity up to isomorphisms and not isometries) implies several…
In this paper, we are concerned with stable solutions , possibly unbounded and sign-changing, of some semi-linear elliptic problem with mixed nonlinear boundary conditions. We establish the nonexistence of stable solutions, the main methods…
We return to the subject of stability of infinite time asymptotics of kinetic equations. We found a model which is simpler than those studied previously and which shows unstable behavior corresponding to our arguments to appear elsewhere,…
We consider a network of identical piecewise smooth systems that synchronizes on the manifold given by a periodic orbit of a single agent. We explicitly characterize the fundamental matrix solution of the network along the synchronous…
We prove that solutions to Cauchy problems related to the $p$-parabolic equations are stable with respect to the nonlinearity exponent $p$. More specifically, solutions with a fixed initial trace converge in an $L^q$-space to a solution of…
In this paper, we study geometric rigidity of Riemannian manifolds admitting stable solutions of certain elliptic problems (stability in a variational sense), that is, under suitable hypotheses, we are able to characterize the Riemannian…
We prove the instability of the Couette flow if the disturbances is less smooth than the Gevrey space of class 2. This shows that this is the critical regularity for this problem since it was proved in [5] that stability and inviscid…
Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing…
We introduce a new method for the analysis of singularities in the unstable problem $$\Delta u = -\chi_{\{u>0\}},$$ which arises in solid combustion as well as in the composite membrane problem. Our study is confined to points of…
