Advection properties of passive particles in flows generated by point vortices are considered. Transport properties are anomalous with characteristic transport exponent $\mu \sim 1.5$. This behavior is linked back to the presence of…

Let $X=(X_t)_{t\ge0}$ be a transient diffusion process in $(0,\infty)$ with the diffusion coefficient $\sigma>0$ and the scale function $L$ such that $X_t\rightarrow\infty$ as $t\rightarrow \infty$, let $I_t$ denote its running minimum for…

We prove the mean curvature flow of a spacelike graph in $(\Sigma_1\times \Sigma_2, g_1-g_2)$ of a map $f:\Sigma_1\to \Sigma_2$ from a closed Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma_1,g_1)$ with $Ricci_1> 0$ to a complete Riemannian manifold…

Motivated by a problem posed by Aldous, our goal is to find the maximal-entropy win-martingale: In a sports game between two teams, the chance the home team wins is initially $x_0 \in (0,1)$ and finally 0 or 1. As an idealization we take a…

We consider the numerical approximation of axisymmetric mean curvature flow with the help of linear finite elements. In the case of a closed genus-1 surface, we derive optimal error bounds with respect to the $L^2$-- and $H^1$--norms for a…

Our financial setting consists of a market model with two flows of information. The smallest flow F is the "public" flow of information which is available to all agents, while the larger flow G has additional information about the…

This paper is concerned with six variational problems and their mutual connections: The quadratic Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport, the Schr\"odinger problem, Brenier's relaxed model for incompressible fluids, the so-called Br\"odinger…

This paper gives a partial confirmation of a conjecture of P. Agarwal, S. Har-Peled, M. Sharir, and K. Varadarajan that the total curvature of a shortest path on the boundary of a convex polyhedron in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space…

We study the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\R^{n+1}$, with initial surfaces sufficiently close to the standard $n$-dimensional sphere. The closeness is in the Sobolev norm with the index greater than $\frac{n}{2}+1$ and therefore…

In this paper we study a flow by minkowskian curvature where we have a different Minkowski plane at each time. We derive some evolution formulas, present sufficient hypotesis for the short time existence and convexity of solutions and study…

We study, by means of extensive direct numerical simulations, the turbulent flow produced by a two-dimensional cellular forcing in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions. In spite of the strong anisotropy of the forcing, we find that…

In this article, we introduce a notion of curvature, denoted by $ k_X(T)$, for a metric triple $T$ inside a (possibly discrete) metric space $X$. Such a notion enables us to consider curvature information of any metric space, including…

In this paper we address anisotropic and inhomogeneous mean curvature flows with forcing and mobility, and show that the minimizing movements scheme converges to level set/viscosity solutions and to distributional solutions \textit{\`a la}…

When considering a general system of equations describing the space-time evolution (flow) of one or several variables, the problem of the optimization over a finite period of time of a measure of the state variable at the final time is a…

We study the existence and uniqueness of smooth mean curvature flow, in arbitrary dimension and co-dimension, emanating from so called $k$-dimensional $(\varepsilon,R)$ Reifenberg flat sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our results generalize the ones…

In the last 15 years, White and Huisken-Sinestrari developed a far-reaching structure theory for the mean curvature flow of mean convex hypersurfaces. Their papers provide a package of estimates and structural results that yield a precise…

We prove that, in the flat torus and in any dimension, the volume-preserving mean curvature flow and the surface diffusion flow, starting $C^{1,1}-$close to a strictly stable critical set of the perimeter $E$, exist for all times and…

In this paper we give sufficient conditions that guarantee the meancurvature flow with free boundary on an embedded rotationally symmetric double cone develops a Type 2 curvature singularity. We additionally prove that Type 0 singularities…

Let $X_0, \widetilde{X}$ be two smooth, closed and locally convex curves in the plane with same winding number. A curvature flow with a nonlocal term is constructed to evolve $X_0$ into $\widetilde{X}$. It is proved that this flow exits…

Consider a discrete-time martingale $\{X_t\}$ taking values in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. We show that if for some $L \geq 1$, the bounds $\mathbb{E} \left[\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal H}^2 \mid X_t\right]=1$ and $\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal…
