The past few years have seen many advances in our understanding of the dynamics of polymeric fluids. These include improvements on the successful reptation theory; an emerging molecular theory of semiflexible chain dynamics; and an…
We provide in this article a new proof of the uniqueness of the flow solution to ordinary differential equations with $BV$ vector-fields that have divergence in $L^\infty$ (or in $L^1$) and that are nearly incompressible (see the text for…
In this work, we derive first order continuum traffic flow models from a microscopic delayed follow-the-leader model. Those are applicable in the context of vehicular traffic flow as well as pedestrian traffic flow. The microscopic model is…
We establish short-time existence and regularity for higher-order flows generated by a class of polynomial natural tensors that, after an adjustment by the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to a suitable vector field, have strongly…
We study dynamical systems that switch between two different vector fields depending on a discrete variable and with a delay. When the delay reaches a problem-dependent critical value so-called event collisions occur. This paper classifies…
Our main is to study periodic orbits of linear and invariant flows on a real, connected Lie group. Since each linear flow $\varphi_t$ has a derivation associated $\mathcal{D}$, we show that the existence of periodic orbits of $\varphi_t$ is…
The vector field of a mixed-monotone system is decomposable via a decomposition function into increasing (cooperative) and decreasing (competitive) components, and this decomposition allows for, e.g., efficient computation of reachable sets…
Affine flows on vector bundles with chain transitive base flow are lifted to linear flows and the decomposition into exponentially separated subbundles provided by Selgrade's theorem is determined. The results are illustrated by an…
Vector fields that are discontinuous on codimension-one surfaces are known as Filippov systems and can have attracting periodic orbits involving segments that are contained on a discontinuity surface of the vector field. In this paper we…
We study first- and second-order linear transport equations, as well as ODE and SDE flows, with velocity fields satisfying a one-sided Lipschitz condition. Depending on the time direction, the flows are either compressive or expansive. In…
We show that any open set that is a finite distance away from a Lipschitz subgraph will become a Lipschitz subgraph after flowing under fractional mean curvature flow for a finite, universal time. Our proof is quantitative and inherently…
The effect of strong shear flow on highly fluctuating lamellar systems stabilized by intermembrane collisions via the Helfrich interaction is studied. Advection enters the microscopic equation of motion for a single membrane via a…
Under general assumptions on the target distribution $p^\star$, we establish a sharp Lipschitz regularity theory for flow-matching vector fields and diffusion-model scores, with optimal dependence on time and dimension. As applications, we…
In this paper we derive a new first-order theory of relativistic dissipative fluids by adopting the trace-fixed particle frame. Whereas in a companion letter we show that this theory is hyperbolic, causal and stable at global equilibrium…
We study the problem of finding strain-minimising stream surfaces in a divergence-free vector field. These surfaces are generated by motions of seed curves that propagate through the field in a strain minimising manner, i.e., they move…
We numerically investigate the flow structure of periodic steady water waves of fixed relative mass flux propagating on rotational flows with piece-wise constant vorticity. We show that for wave solutions along the global bifurcation…
In this work we develop a well-defined theory of orbit spaces for piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVFs). This approach is inspired by the techniques already used in the study of endomorphisms, namely inverse limit analysis, and has been…
We prove that the space of vector fields on the boundary of a bounded domain with the Lipschitz boundary in three dimensions is decomposed into three subspaces: elements of the first one extend to the inside the domain as divergence-free…
Motivated by the wild behavior of isolated essential singularities in complex analysis, we study singular complex analytic vector fields $X$ on arbitrary Riemann surfaces $M$. By vector field singularities we understand zeros, poles,…
Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold endowed locally with two complementary distributions, say horizontal and vertical. We consider the two subgroups of (local) diffeomorphisms of $M$ generated by vector fields in each of of these…
