We consider the Hardy-H\'enon parabolic equation $u_t-\Delta u =|x|^a |u|^{p-1}u$ with $p>1$ and $a\in {\mathbb R}$. We establish the space-time singularity and decay estimates, and Liouville-type theorems for radial and nonradial…
We consider the advection-diffusion equation \[ \phi_t + Au \cdot \nabla \phi = \Delta \phi, \qquad \phi(0,x)=\phi_0(x) \] on $\bbR^2$, with $u$ a periodic incompressible flow and $A\gg 1$ its amplitude. We provide a sharp characterization…
We consider the damped hyperbolic equation in one space dimension $\epsilon u_{tt} + u_t = u_{xx} + F(u)$, where $\epsilon$ is a positive, not necessarily small parameter. We assume that $F(0)=F(1)=0$ and that $F$ is concave on the interval…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to wave equations with a structural damping term \[ u_{tt}-\Delta u+\Delta^2 u_t=0, \qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \,\,\, u_t(0,x)=u_1(x), \] in the whole space. New thresholds are reported in this paper…

Under fairly general assumptions, we prove that every compact invariant subset $\mathcal I$ of the semiflow generated by the semilinear damped wave equation \epsilon u_{tt}+u_t+\beta(x)u-\sum_{ij}(a_{ij} (x)u_{x_j})_{x_i}&=f(x,u),&&…
In this paper, we study semilinear damped equations $u_{tt}+u_t-\Delta u=|u|^p$ with the initial data in $({\dot{H}^{-\gamma}}\cap H^s)\times({\dot{H}^{-\gamma}}\cap L^2)$. Chen-Reissig (2023) studied the case $0<\gamma<\frac{n}{2}$ and…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a locally finite connected weighted graph, $\Delta$ be the usual graph Laplacian. In this paper, we study the blow-up problems for the nonlinear parabolic equation $u_t=\Delta u + f(u)$ on $G$. The blow-up phenomenons of…
We prove global existence of a solution to an initial and boundary value problem for a highly nonlinear PDE system. The problem arises from a thermomechanical dissipative model describing hydrogen storage by use of metal hydrides. In order…
We develop a Hamiltonian theory of a time dispersive and dissipative inhomogeneous medium, as described by a linear response equation respecting causality and power dissipation. The proposed Hamiltonian couples the given system to auxiliary…
We obtain new $L^1$ contraction results for bounded entropy solutions of Cauchy problems for degenerate parabolic equations. The equations we consider have possibly strongly degenerate local or non-local diffusion terms. As opposed to…
In this article, we investigate the blow-up behavior of solutions to the one-dimensional damped nonlinear wave equation, namely $$ \partial_t^2 u - \partial_x^2 u + \frac{\mu}{1 + t} \partial_t u = |\partial_t u|^p \quad (p > 1). $$ Under…
We study the wave equation with potential $u_{tt}-\Delta u+Vu=0$ in two spatial dimensions, with $V$ a real-valued, decaying potential. With $H=-\Delta+V$, we study a variety of mapping estimates of the solution operators, $\cos(t\sqrt{H})$…
