We are concerned with the problem of determining the nonlinear term in a semilinear elliptic equation by boundary measurements. Precisely, we improve [5, Theorem 1.3], where a logarithmic type stability estimate was proved. We show actually…
We study a class of degenerate parabolic and elliptic equations in divergence form in the upper half space $\{x_d>0\}$. The leading coefficients are of the form $x_d^2a_{ij}$, where $a_{ij}$ are bounded, uniformly elliptic, and measurable…
We formulate, for continuous-time dynamical systems, a sufficient condition to be a gradient-like system, i.e. that all bounded trajectories approach stationary points and therefore that periodic orbits, chaotic attractors, etc. do not…

We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…
In this paper, we study some regularity issues concerning the gradient of weak solutions of $u_t - {\rm div} \mathcal{A}(x,t,\nabla u) = g$, where $\mathcal{A}(x,t,\nabla u)$ is modeled after the $p$-Laplace operator. The main results we…
Problems with topological uncertainties appear in many fields ranging from nano-device engineering to the design of bridges. In many of such problems, a part of the domains boundaries is subjected to random perturbations making inefficient…
