We consider the wave equation $\varepsilon^2(-\partial_t^2 + \Delta)u + f(u) = 0$ for $0<\varepsilon\ll 1$, where $f$ is the derivative of a balanced, double-well potential, the model case being $f(u) = u-u^3$. For equations of this form,…
We study the mass-conserved reaction-diffusion system known as the wave-pinning model, which serves as a minimal framework for describing cell polarity. In this model, the interplay between reaction kinetics and slow diffusion forms a sharp…
This paper will discuss a class of semilinear partial differential equations induced by studying the limiting behaviour of Hermitian Yang-Mills metrics. We will study the radial symmetry of the $C^{2}$ global solution of this equation in…
We study the dynamics of elastic interfaces-membranes-immersed in thermally excited fluids. The work contains three components: the development of a numerical method, a purely theoretical approach, and numerical simulation. In developing a…
We study the evolution of fronts in a bistable reaction-diffusion system when the nonlinear reaction term is spatially non-homogeneous. This equation has been used to model wave propagation in various biological systems. Extending previous…
We further study the interfaces arising in a situation of inhomogeneity. More precisely, we identify a characteristic length for the gradient percolation model, that enables us to tighten previous estimates established for it. This allows…
The main result of this paper concerns the behavior of a free boundary arising from a minimization problem, close to the fixed boundary in two dimensions.

We consider the discretization of a semilinear damped wave equation arising, for instance, in the modeling of gas transport in pipeline networks. For time invariant boundary data, the solutions of the problem are shown to converge…
We consider a nonlocal semi-linear parabolic equation on a connected exterior domain of the form $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus K$, where $K\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a compact "obstacle". The model we study is motivated by applications in biology and…
We consider a discrete and a continuum model for the propagation of a curvature sensitive interface in a time independent random medium. In both cases we suppose that the medium contains obstacles that act on the propagation of the…
