A general multi-type population model is considered, where individuals live and reproduce according to their age and type, but also under the influence of the size and composition of the entire population. We describe the dynamics of the…

We consider the large time behavior of the solutions to the Cauchy problem for the BBM-Burgers equation. We prove that the solution to this problem goes to the self-similar solution to the Burgers equation called the nonlinear diffusion…
We investigate the behavior of a population genetics model introduced by Waxman and Peck incorporating mutation, selection, and pleiotropy. The population is infinite and continuous variation of genotype is allowed. Nonetheless, Waxman and…
A central issue of many statistical learning problems is to select an appropriate model from a set of candidate models. Large models tend to inflate the variance (or overfitting), while small models tend to cause biases (or underfitting)…
We consider a particle system in continuous time, discrete population, with spatial motion and nonlocal branching. The offspring's weights and their number may depend on the mother's weight. Our setting captures, for instance, the processes…
We consider an approximating sequence of interacting population models with branching, mutation and competition. Each individual is characterized by its trait and the traits of its ancestors. Birth- and death-events happen at exponential…
We consider an one-dimensional inhomogeneous harmonic chain consisting of two different semi-infinite chains of harmonic oscillators. We study the Cauchy problem with random initial data. Under some restrictions on the interaction between…
This paper develops and analyzes a generic method for reconstructing solutions to the abstract Cauchy problem in a general Hilbert space, from noisy measured data. The method is based on the relationship between a partial differential…
In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$ is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this…
In this paper, we study a continuous ocking Cucker-Smale model with noise, which has isotropic and polarized stationary solutions depending on the intensity of the noise. The first result establishes the threshold value of the noise…

We carry out an analysis of the existence of solutions for a class of nonlinear partial differential equations of parabolic type. The equation is associated to a nonlocal initial condition, written in general form which includes, as…
Evolutionary models for populations of constant size are frequently studied using the Moran model, the Wright-Fisher model, or their diffusion limits. When evolution is neutral, a random genealogy given through Kingman's coalescent is used…
A strong inspiration for studying perturbation theory for fractional evolution equations comes from the fact that they have proven to be useful tools in modeling many physical processes. In this paper, we study fractional evolution…
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear wave equation with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. Our aim is to obtain the threshold, to classify the global existence of solution for small data or the finite time…

Testing high-dimensional quantile regression coefficients is crucial, as tail quantiles often reveal more than the mean in many practical applications. Nevertheless, the sparsity pattern of the alternative hypothesis is typically unknown in…
We prove the existence of solutions for an evolution quasi-variational inequality with a first order quasilinear operator and a variable convex set, which is characterized by a constraint on the absolute value of the gradient that depends…
