Diffusion of point-like non interacting particles in a two-dimensional (2D) channel of varying cross section is considered. The particles are biased by a constant force in the transverse direction. We apply our recurrence mapping procedure,…

We consider inviscid flow with isentropic coefficient greater than one. For flow along smooth infinite protruding corners we attempt to impose a nonzero limit for velocity at infinity at the upstream wall. We prove that the problem does not…

We prove short time existence and uniqueness of the Laplacian flow starting at an arbitrary closed $G_2$-structure. We establish long time existence and convergence of the Laplacian flow starting near a torsion-free $G_2$-structure. We…

We show that any complete, immersed self-expander to the inverse mean curvature flow, which has one end asymptotic to a cylinder, or has two ends asymptotic to two coaxial cylinders, must be rotationally symmetric.

We show that the discrete approximate volume preserving mean curvature flow in the flat torus $\mathbb{T}^N$ starting near a strictly stable critical set $E$ of the perimeter converges in the long time to a translate of $E$ exponentially…

In this short article, we prove the existence of ancient solutions of the mean curvature flow that for t -> 0 collapse to a round point, but for t -> -infinity become more and more oval: near the center they have asymptotic shrinkers…

We consider the motion of a viscous compressible and heat conducting fluid confined in the gap between two rotating cylinders (Taylor-Couette flow). The temperature of the cylinders is fixed but not necessarily constant. We show that the…

We study the curve shortening flow on Riemann surfaces with finitely many conformal conical singularities. If the initial curve is passing through the singular points, then the evolution is governed by a degenerate quasilinear parabolic…

We show that any integral Brakke flow coming out of a rotationally symmetric double cone with entropy at most two must stay rotationally symmetric for all time, provided the flow is smooth for a short time. We also show the existence of a…

We show the uniqueness of strictly convex closed smooth self-similar solutions to the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow with $(1/n) < \alpha < 1+(1/n)$. We introduce a Pogorelov type computation, and then we apply the strong maximum principle.…

A fully discrete finite element method, based on a new weak formulation and a new time-stepping scheme, is proposed for the surface diffusion flow of closed curves in the two-dimensional plane. It is proved that the proposed method can…

We characterize the long time behaviour of a discrete-in-time approximation of the volume preserving fractional mean curvature flow. In particular, we prove that the discrete flow starting from any bounded set of finite fractional perimeter…

We introduce the shifted inverse curvature flow in hyperbolic space. This is a family of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space expanding by $F^{-p}$ with positive power $p$ for a smooth, symmetric, strictly increasing and $1$-homogeneous…

We consider the $Q_k$ flow on complete non-compact graphs. We prove that a complete graph evolves by the $Q_k$ curvature up to some time $T$ depending on the radius of a sphere enclosed by the initial graph.

It has long been conjectured that starting at a generic smooth closed embedded surface in R^3, the mean curvature flow remains smooth until it arrives at a singularity in a neighborhood of which the flow looks like concentric spheres or…

In this paper we introduce a new geometric flow with rotational invariance and prove that, under this kind of flow, an arbitrary smooth closed contractible hypersurface in the Euclidean space Rn+1 (n, 1) converges to Sn in the C1-topology…

We study the time evolution of an incompressible fluid with axial symmetry without swirl when the vorticity is sharply concentrated on $N$ annuli of radii of the order of $r_0$ and thickness $\varepsilon$. We prove that when $r_0= |\log…

The circulation around any closed loop is a Lagrangian invariant for classical, smooth solutions of the incompressible Euler equations in any number of space dimensions. However, singular solutions relevant to turbulent flows need not…

We provide an explicit rigorous derivation of a diffusion limit - a stochastic differential equation with additive noise - from a deterministic skew-product flow. This flow is assumed to exhibit time-scale separation and has the form of a…
