Let $N(t, \rho)$ be the number of lattice points in a thin elliptical annuli. We assume the aspect ratio $\beta$ of the ellipse is transcendental and Diophantine in a strong sense (this holds for {\em almost all} aspect ratios). The…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear parabolic flows $u_{t}=F(D^2 u^m)$ when $t\ra \infty$ for $m\geq 1$, and the geometric properties for solutions of the following elliptic nonlinear eigenvalue problems: F(D^2 \vp) &+…
We consider a dilute gas of hard spheres in dimension $d \geq 2$ that upon collision either annihilate with probability $p$ or undergo an elastic scattering with probability $1-p$. For such a system neither mass, momentum, nor kinetic…
The partial coalescence of a droplet onto a planar liquid/liquid interface is investigated experimentally by tuning the viscosities of both liquids. The problem mainly depends on four dimensionless parameters: the Bond number (gravity vs.…

In the article we study a hyperbolic-elliptic system of PDE. The system can describe two different physical phenomena: 1st one is the motion of magnetic vortices in the II-type superconductor and 2nd one \ is the collective motion of cells.…
We extend the relative entropy identity to the class of hyperbolic-parabolic systems whose hyperbolic part is symmetrizable. The resulting identity, in the general theory, is useful to provide stability of viscous solutions and yields a…
We study the long-time behavior of an elliptic rigid body which is allowed to vertically translate and rotate in a 2D unbounded channel under the action of a Poiseuille flow at large distances. The motion of the fluid is modelled by the…
Mechanics texts tell us that a particle in a bound orbit under gravitational central force moves on an ellipse, while introductory physics texts approximate the earth as flat, and tell us that the particle moves in a parabola. The…
