We consider the Whitham equations for deformations of hyperelliptic spectral curves, which preserve all periods of a meromorphic differential. If the meromorphic differential has a root at a fixed point of the hyperelliptic involution, then…
We consider the flat flow solution, obtained via discrete minimizing movement scheme, to the volume preserving mean curvature flow starting from C^{1,1}-regular set. We prove the consistency principle which states that (any) such flat flow…
In this paper we demonstrate that if two mean curvature flows of compact hypersurfaces $M^1_t$ and $M^2_t$ encounter only isolated, multiplicity one, asymptotically conical singularities at the first singular time $T$, and if $M^1_T=M^2_T$…
The two-fold singularity has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface…
For any $n$-dimensional smooth manifold $\Sigma$, we show that all the singularities of the mean curvature flow with any initial mean convex hypersurface in $\Sigma$ are cylindrical (of convex type) if the flow converges to a smooth…
We consider a two-dimensional, two-layer, incompressible, steady flow, with vorticity which is constant in each layer, in an infinite channel with rigid walls. The velocity is continuous across the interface, there is no surface tension or…
In this paper we study topological and dynamical features of isolated invariant continua of continuous flows defined on surfaces. We show that near an isolated invariant continuum the flow is topologically equivalent to a C1 flow. We deduce…
In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…
Dense granular flows exhibit both surface deformation and secondary flows due to the presence of normal stress differences. Yet, a complete mathematical modelling of these two features is still lacking. This paper focuses on a steady…
It is well known that a continuously differentiable function is monotone in an interval $[a,b]$ if and only if its first derivative does not change its sign there. We prove that this is equivalent to requiring that the Caputo derivatives of…
A finite-time singularity of 2D harmonic map flow will be called "strictly type-II" if the outer energy scale satisfies $\lambda(t) = O(T - t)^{\frac{1 + \alpha}{2}}.$ We prove that the body map at a strict type-II blowup is H\"older…
We study the formation of singularities for the curvature flow of networks when the initial data is symmetric with respect to a pair of perpendicular axes and has two triple junctions. We show that, in this case, the set of singular times…
It has long been conjectured that starting at a generic smooth closed embedded surface in R^3, the mean curvature flow remains smooth until it arrives at a singularity in a neighborhood of which the flow looks like concentric spheres or…
It is well-known that a stochastic differential equation (sde) on a Euclidean space driven by a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Brownian motion with Lipschitz coefficients generates a stochastic flow of homeomorphisms. If the Lipschitz…
The sphere is well-known as the only generic compact shrinker for mean curvature flow (MCF). In this paper, we characterize the generic dynamics of MCFs with a spherical singularity. In terms of the level set flow formulation of MCF, we…
A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…
We study continuum-wise expansive flows with fixed points on metric spaces and low dimensional manifolds. We give sufficient conditions for a surface flow to be singular cw-expansive and examples showing that cw-expansivity does not imply…

Frequently observed divergence of numerical solutions to benchmark flows of the UCM viscoelastic fluid is a known and widely discussed issue. Some authors consider such singularities "invincible". The article argues this position, to which…
We provide sufficient conditions on a positive function so that its associated special flow over any irrational rotation is either weak mixing or $L^2$-conjugate to a suspension flow.
