This contribution reports on numerical simulations of 2D granular flows on erodible beds. The broad aim is to investigate whether simple flows of model granular matter exhibits spontaneous oscillatory motion in generic flow conditions, and…

We consider mean curvature flow of an initial surface that is the graph of a function over some domain of definition in $R^n$. If the graph is not complete then we impose a constant Dirichlet boundary condition at the boundary of the…

In this work, we propose a new evolving geometric flow (called translating mean curvature flow) for the translating solitons of hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$. We study the basic properties, such as positivity preserving property, of the…
Flows of vector fields are an essential tool in differential geometry, with countless applications in both theory and practice. While they have been extensively studied for ordinary manifolds and supermanifolds, a treatment of flows in…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
We discuss $(K,N)$-convexity and gradient flows for $(K,N)$-convex functionals on metric spaces, in the case of real $K$ and negative $N$. In this generality, it is necessary to consider functionals unbounded from below and/or above,…

We explicitly construct parameter transformations between gradient flows in metric spaces, called curves of maximal slope, having different exponents when the associated function satisfies a suitable convexity condition. These…
The aim of the present paper is to provide a global presentation of the theory of special Finsler manifolds. We introduce and investigate globally (or intrinsically, free from local coordinates) many of the most important and most commonly…
In this article, new curvature conditions are introduced to establish functional inequalities including gradient estimates, Harnack inequalities and transportation-cost inequalities on manifolds with non-convex boundary.
We analyse second order (in Riemann curvature) geometric flows (un-normalised) on locally homogeneous three manifolds and look for specific features through the solutions (analytic whereever possible, otherwise numerical) of the evolution…
We analyze a gradient flow of closed planar curves minimizing the anisoperimetric ratio. For such a flow the normal velocity is a function of the anisotropic curvature and it also depends on the total interfacial energy and enclosed area of…
