We study the classical Cucker-Smale model in continuous time with a positive time delay $\tau$. As in the non-delayed case, unconditional flocking occurs when $\beta \leq 1/2$ for every $\tau>0$. Furthermore, we prove the exponential decay…
In this paper we study the following class of fractional Kirchhoff problems: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon^{2s}M(\varepsilon^{2s-N}[u]^{2}_{s})(-\Delta)^{s}u + V(x) u= f(u) &\mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in…
Understanding the interplay between charge and spin and its effects on transport is a ubiquitous challenge in quantum many-body systems. In the Fermi-Hubbard model, this interplay is thought to give rise to magnetic polarons, whose dynamics…
We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…
A time-fractional Fokker-Planck initial-boundary value problem is considered, with differential operator $u_t-\nabla\cdot(\partial_t^{1-\alpha}\kappa_\alpha\nabla u-\textbf{F}\partial_t^{1-\alpha}u)$, where $0<\alpha <1$. The forcing…
The mechanism of the initial inflation of the universe is based on gravitationally coupled scalar fields $\phi$. Various scenarios are distinguished by the choice of an {\it effective self--interaction potential} $U(\phi)$ which simulates a…
Eukaryotic flagella are active structures with a complex architecture of microtubules, motor proteins and elastic links. They are capable of whiplike motions driven by motors sliding along filaments that are themselves constrained at an…
We study the formation of singularities for the Euler-Alignment system with influence function $\psi=\frac{k_\alpha}{|x|^\alpha}$ in 1D. As in [20] the problem is reduced to the analysis of a nonlocal 1D equation. We show the existence of…
This paper is concerned with the density-suppressed motility model: $u_{t}=\Delta (\displaystyle\frac{u^m}{v^\alpha}) +\beta uf(w), v_{t}=D\Delta v-v+u, w_{t}=\Delta w-uf(w)$ in a smoothly bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset…
We investigate a continuum Lagrangian $p$-alignment system given by a nonlocal mean-field system of ordinary differential equations for interacting agents with weak initial data. We first establish global well-posedness of the Lagrangian…
Several classes of physical systems exhibit ultraslow diffusion for which the mean squared displacement at long times grows as a power of the logarithm of time ("strong anomaly") and share the interesting property that the probability…
We establish the convergence of threshold dynamics-type approximation schemes to propagating fronts evolving according to an anisotropic mean curvature motion in the presence of a forcing term depending on both time and position, thus…
We study a class of polaron-type Hamiltonians with sufficiently regular form factor in the interaction term. We investigate the strong-coupling limit of the model, and prove suitable bounds on the ground state energy as a function of the…
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional steady compactly supported incompressible Euler equations with free boundaries. We consider flows with constant vorticity that are perturbations of annular equilibria, in contrast to the laminar…
We study a model of flocking in order to describe the transitions during the collective motion of organisms in three dimensions (e.g., birds). In this model the particles representing the organisms are self-propelled, i.e., they move with…
We here construct (large) local and small global-in-time regular unique solutions to the fractional Euler alignment system in the whole space ${\mathbb R}^d$, in the case where the deviation of the initial density from a constant is…
The ability of biomolecules to exert forces on their surroundings or resist compression from the environment is essential in a variety of biologically relevant contexts. As has been understood for centuries, slender rods can only be…
We introduce a stochastic agent-based model for the flocking dynamics of self-propelled particles that exhibit velocity-alignment interactions with neighbours within their field of view. The stochasticity in the dynamics of the model arises…
Combining model experiments and theory, we investigate the dense phases of polar active matter beyond the conventional flocking picture. We show that above a critical density flocks assembled from self-propelled colloids arrest their…
