We study finite-time singularities in the linear advection-diffusion equation with a variable speed on a semi-infinite line. The variable speed is determined by an additional condition at the boundary, which models the dynamics of a contact…
Numerical evidence for a finite-time singularity in ideal 3D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is presented. The simulations start from two interlocking magnetic flux rings with no initial velocity. The magnetic curvature force causes the flux…
In this paper we consider the following two-phase obstacle-problem-like equation in the unit half-ball $\Delta u = \lambda_{+}\chi_{\{u>0\}}-\lambda_{-}\chi_{\{u<0\}}, \lambda_\pm>0$. We prove that the free boundary touches the fixed one in…

Building on the line of work [DIRT15a], [DIRT15b], [NS17a], [DT17], [HLS18], [HS18] we continue the study of particle systems with singular interaction through hitting times. In contrast to the previous research, we (i) consider very…

We study the singularities for minimum time control-affine problems in 4D with 2D controls. After regularization, the problem boils down to the study of a bifurcation around some nilpotent equilibrium in the singular locus. We show that the…

Phase singularities are loci of darkness surrounded by monochromatic light in a scalar field, with applications in optical trapping, super-resolution imaging, and structured light-matter interactions. Although 1D singular structures, such…

Bound state formation is a classic feature of quantum mechanics, where a particle localizes in the vicinity of an attractive potential. This is typically understood as the particle lowering its potential energy. In this article, we discuss…
