Motivated by practical applications in heat conduction and contaminant transport, we consider heat and mass diffusion across a perturbed interface separating two finite regions of distinct diffusivity. Under the assumption of continuity of…
This work is aimed at the study and analysis of the heat transport on a metal bar of length $L$ with a solid-solid interface. The process is assumed to be developed along one direction, across two homogeneous and isotropic materials.…
We study the bifurcation of planar patterns and fast-moving pattern interfaces in an asymptotic long-wave model for the three-dimensional B\'enard-Marangoni problem, which is close to a Turing instability. We derive the model from the full…
This paper is concerned with the analysis of speed-up of reaction-diffusion-advection traveling fronts in infinite cylinders with periodic boundary conditions. The advection is a shear flow with a large amplitude and the reaction is…
We study front speeds of curvature and strain G-equations arising in turbulent combustion. These G-equations are Hamilton-Jacobi type level set partial differential equations (PDEs) with non-coercive Hamiltonians and degenerate nonlinear…
We study instabilities and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion layers that are diffusively coupled. For two-layer systems of identical two-component reactions, we analyze the stability of homogeneous steady states by exploiting the…
Turbulence significantly influences the dynamics of flame in SNIa. The large Reynolds number makes impossible the direct numerical simulations of turbulence, and different models of turbulence have to be used. Here we present the…
We consider the Cauchy problem \[\partial_t u+H(x,Du)=0 \quad (x,t)\in\Gamma\times (0,T),\quad u(x,0)=u_0(x) \quad x\in\Gamma\] where $\Gamma$ is a network and $H$ is a convex and positive homogeneous Hamiltonian which may change from edge…
In this study, a new linear theory of tearing instability is shown, where the modified LSC (Loureiro, Schekochihin, and Cowley) theory [36] developed from the original LSC theory [8] is extended from inviscid-resistive MHD to…
We address the problem of a front propagation in chains with a bi-stable nondegenerate on-site potential and a nonlinear gradient coupling. For a generic nonlinear coupling, one encounters a special regime of transitions, characterized by…
This paper investigates the dynamics of a reaction-diffusion system with two free boundaries, modeling the invasion of two cooperative species, where the free boundaries represent expanding fronts. We first analyze the long-term behavior of…
We analyze ``pulled'' or ``linearly marginally stable'' fronts propagating into unstable states. While ``pushed'' fronts into meta- and unstable states relax exponentially, pulled fronts relax algebraically, and simultaneously the standard…
We study a model for combustion on a boundary. Specifically, we study certain generalized solutions of the equation \[ (-\Delta)^s u = \chi_{\{u>c\}} \] for $0<s<1$ and an arbitrary constant $c$. Our main object of study is the free…
We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connects the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of a thermally…
We consider convection in an internally heated layer of fluid that is bounded below by a perfect insulator and above by a poor conductor. The poorly conducting boundary is modelled by a fixed heat flux. Using solely analytical methods, we…

We analyze the stability of biological membrane tubes, with and without a base flow of lipids. Membrane dynamics are completely specified by two dimensionless numbers: the well-known F\"oppl--von K\'arm\'an number $\Gamma$ and the recently…
