We consider two-dimensional periodic gravity water waves with constant nonzero vorticity $\gamma$, in infinite depth and with periodic boundary conditions. We prove that, if the characteristic wave number $\frac{\gamma^2}{g}$ is rational,…
We study the convergences of three projected Sobolev gradient flows to the ground state of the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenvalue problem. They are constructed as the gradient flows of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional with respect to the…
Given a continuous vector field $\lambda(t, \cdot)$ of Sobolev class $H^{\frac 32}$ on the unit circle $S^1$, the flow maps $\eta=g(t, \cdot)$ of the differential equation $$ \cases \frac{d\eta}{dt}=\lambda(t, \eta)\\ \eta(0,\zeta)=\zeta…

The biharmonic flow of hypersurfaces $M^n$ immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ is given by a fourth order geometric evolution equation, which is similar to the Willmore flow. We apply the Michael-Simon-Sobolev…

Following on from our previous study of the geodesic flow on three dimensional ellipsoid with equal middle semi-axes, here we study the remaining cases: Ellipsoids with two sets of equal semi-axes with $SO(2) \times SO(2)$ symmetry,…
We study the gradient flow of the length functional on the space of planar immersed closed curves, where the gradient is taken with respect to a family of homogeneous Sobolev $H^1$-type Riemannian metrics depending on parameters $\lambda>0$…
We consider classical curvature flows: 1-parameter families of convex embeddings of the 2-sphere into Euclidean 3-space which evolve by an arbitrary (non-homogeneous) function of the radii of curvature. The associated flow of the radii of…
We found a new formulation to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in ${\R}^m$. This new formulation of Willmore equation appears to be of divergence form, moreover, the non-linearities are made of…
This paper contributes to the exploration of a recently introduced computational paradigm known as second-order flows, which are characterized by novel dissipative hyperbolic partial differential equations extending accelerated gradient…
The free elastic flow is the $L^2$-gradient flow for Euler's elastic energy, or equivalently the Willmore flow with translation invariant initial data. In contrast to elastic flows under length penalisation or preservation, it is more…
We consider multi-gradient fluids endowed with a volumetric internal energy which is a function of mass density, volumetric entropy and their successive gradients. We obtained the thermodynamic forms of equation of motions and equation of…
In this paper, we consider the $L^2$-gradient flow for the modified $p$-elastic energy defined on planar closed curves. We formulate a notion of weak solution for the flow and prove the existence of global-in-time weak solutions with $p \ge…
We study a flow of $G_2$ structures which induce the same Riemannian metric which is the negative gradient flow of an energy functional. We prove Shi-type estimates for the torsion tensor along the flow. We show that at a finite-time…
Geometric gradient flows for elastic energies of Willmore type play an important role in mathematics and in many applications. The evolution of elastic curves has been studied in detail both for closed as well as for open curves. Although…

We introduce a parametric framework for the study of Willmore gradient flows which enables to consider a general class of weak, energy-level solutions and opens the possibility to study energy quantization and finite-time singularities. We…
We define functionals generalising the Seiberg-Witten functional on closed $spin^c$ manifolds, involving higher order derivatives of the curvature form and spinor field. We then consider their associated gradient flows and, using a gauge…
Consider the Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequality on the hyperbolic space: for every $n \geq 3$ and $1 < p \leq \frac{n+2}{n-2},$ there exists a best constant $S_{n,p, \lambda}(\mathbb{B}^{n})>0$ such that $$S_{n, p,…
