We derive a uniqueness and stability principle for surface diffusion before the onset of singularities. The perturbations, however, are allowed to undergo topological changes. The main ingredient is a relative energy inequality, which in…
A recent study has demonstrated that phase separation in binary liquid mixtures is arrested in the presence of elastic networks and can lead to a nearly uniformly-sized distribution of the dilute-phase droplets. At longer timescales, these…
We study surface diffusion in the framework of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model with a nonconvex transverse degree of freedom. The model describes a lattice of atoms with a given concentration interacting by Morse-type forces, the…

Consider a reflecting diffusion in a domain in $R^d$ that acquires drift in proportion to the amount of local time spent on the boundary of the domain. We show that the stationary distribution for the joint law of the position of the…

In this paper, we provide well-posedness results for nonlinear parabolic PDEs given by reaction-diffusion equations describing the concentration of oxygen in encapsulated cells. The cells are described in terms of a core and a shell, which…
We study the spread of a quantum-mechanical wavepacket in a noisy environment, modeled using a tight-binding Hamiltonian. Despite the coherent dynamics, the fluctuating environment may give rise to diffusive behavior. When correlations…

We prove well-posedness for a transport-diffusion problem coupled with a wave equation for the potential. We assume that the initial data are small. A bilinear form in the spirit of Kato's proof for the Navier-Stokes equations is used,…

We analyze scattering in a system of two (distinguishable) particles moving on the half-line $\overline{\rz}_+$ under the influence of singular two-particle interactions. Most importantly, due to the spatial localization of the interactions…
There remains a useful relation between diffusion and mobility for a Langevin particle in a periodic medium subject to nonconservative forces. The usual fluctuation-dissipation relation easily gets modified and the mobility matrix is no…
We consider a diffusion process on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ an energetic variational approach with both surface divergence and transport theorems to derive…
Although an intimate relation between entropy and diffusion has been advocated for many years and even seems to have been verified in theory and experiments, a quantitatively reliable study, and any derivation of an algebraic relation…
Probabilistic diffusion models enjoy increasing popularity in the deep learning community. They generate convincing samples from a learned distribution of input images with a wide field of practical applications. Originally, these…
We consider aggregation-diffusion equations with merely bounded nonlocal interaction potential $K$. We are interested in establishing their well-posedness theory when the nonlocal interaction potential $K$ is neither differentiable nor…
