Infinitely many particles of two types ("plus" and "minus") jump randomly along the one-dimensional lattice $\mathbf{Z}_{\varepsilon}=\varepsilon\mathbf{Z}$. Annihillations occur when two particles of different time occupy the same site.…

We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of the equation $f_t = \Delta_p f = \text{div} (|Df|^{p-2} Df)$ under over-determined boundary conditions $f = 0$ and $|Df| = 1$. We show that if the initial data is concave and…

In this volume a theory for models of transport in the presence of a free boundary is developed. Macroscopic laws of transport are described by PDEs. When the system is open, there are several mechanisms to couple the system with the…
