We consider a coupled system of Maxwell's equations and the equations of elasticity, which is commonly used to model piezo-electric material behavior. The boundary influence is encoded as a separate dynamics on the boundary data spaces…

The paper studies a PDE model for the growth of a tree stem or a vine, having the form of a differential inclusion with state constraints. The equations describe the elongation due to cell growth, and the response to gravity and to external…
These lecture notes accompany two classes given at the NRHEP2 school. In the first lecture I introduce the basic concepts used for analyzing well-posedness, that is the existence of a unique solution depending continuously on given data, of…
We investigate the well-posedness and solution regularity of an evolution equation with non-positive type variable-exponent memory, which describes multiscale viscoelasticity in materials with memory. The perturbation method is applied for…
A choice of first-order variables for the characteristic problem of the linearized Einstein equations is found which casts the system into manifestly well-posed form. The concept of well-posedness for characteristic problems invoked is that…
The modeling of the elastic properties of disordered or nanoscale solids requires the foundations of the theory of elasticity to be revisited, as one explores scales at which this theory may no longer hold. The only cases for which…

Given a fine-scale physical theory characterized by an evolutionary system of equations and a set of quantities, defined from the variables of the fine theory, that serve as a coarse representation of the fine scale phenomena, a systematic…

We consider a diffusion process on the edges of a finite network and allow for feedback effects between different, possibly non-adjacent edges. This generalizes the setting that is common in the literature, where the only considered…
In complex crystals close to melting or at finite temperatures, different types of defects are ubiquitous and their role becomes relevant in the mechanical response of these solids. Conventional elasticity theory fails to provide a…
In this paper we consider an abstract Cauchy problem for a Maxwell system modelling electromagnetic fields in the presence of an interface between optical media. The electric polarization is in general time-delayed and nonlinear, turning…
The purpose of this paper is to deal with the issue of well-posedness for a class of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics equations. These sets of equations are commonly used to describe various complex models that appear in nature, industry, and…
Motivated by many applications (geophysical flows, general relativity), we attempt to set the foundations for a study of entropy solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a (Riemannian or Lorentzian) manifold. The flux of…
An attempt is made to find a comprehensive mathematical framework in which to investigate the problems of well-posedness and asymptotic analysis for fully nonlinear evolutionary game theoretic models. The model should be rich enough to…
In this paper, we consider a system of partial differential equations modeling the evolution of a landscape. A ground surface is eroded by the flow of water over it, either by sedimentation or dilution. The system is composed by three…
The idea of monotonicity (or positive-definiteness in the linear case) is shown to be the central theme of the solution theories associated with problems of mathematical physics. A "grand unified" setting is surveyed covering a…
We consider the well-posedness of a model for a flow-structure interaction. This model describes the dynamics of an elastic flexible plate with clamped boundary conditions immersed in a supersonic flow. A perturbed wave equation describes…
