This paper is concerned with the analysis of a one dimensional wave equation $z_{tt}-z_{xx}=0$ on $[0,1]$ with a Dirichlet condition at $x=0$ and a damping acting at $x=1$ which takes the form $(z_t(t,1),-z_x(t,1))\in\Sigma$ for every…
In this paper we study the stability of two different problems. The first one is a one-dimensional degenerate wave equation with degenerate damping, incorporating a drift term and a leading operator in non-divergence form. In the second…

Layered media have been studied extensively both for their importance in imaging technologies and as an example of a hyperbolic PDE with discontinuous coefficients. From the perspective of acoustic imaging, the time limited impulse response…
Epitaxial growth methods are a key technology used in producing large-area thin films on substrates but as a result of various factors controlling growth processes the rational optimization of growth conditions is rather difficult.…
Employing the framework of regular variation, we propose two decompositions which help to summarize and describel high-dimensional tail dependence. Via transformation, we define a vector space on the positive orthant, yielding the notion of…
