One dimensional systems sometimes show pathologically slow decay of currents. This robustness can be traced to the fact that an integrable model is nearby in parameter space. In integrable models some part of the current can be conserved,…
A simple model for the nonlinear collective transport of interacting particles in a random medium with strong disorder is introduced and analyzed. A finite threshold for the driving force divides the behavior into two regimes characterized…

In this paper, we investigate the global structure of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case when the viscous/diffusive flux…
We investigate the motion of pedestrians through obscure corridors where the lack of visibility (due to smoke, fog, darkness, etc.) hides the precise position of the exits. We focus our attention on a set of basic mechanisms, which we…
We propose a new approach for crowd motion models where the density constraint can only slow down the motion of each agent, with no effect on those agents who are not in a saturated area or who have no saturated density ''in front'' of…
