In this paper we study the inviscid limit of the Benjamin-Ono-Burgers equation in the energy space $ H^{1/2} (\R) $ or $ H^{1/2}(\T) $. We prove the strong convergence in the energy space of the solution to this equation toward the solution…
In this paper we study the following Burgers equation du/dt + d/dx (u^2/2) = epsilon d^2u/dx^2 + f(x,t) where f(x,t)=dF/dx(x,t) is a random forcing function, which is periodic in x and white noise in t. We prove the existence and uniqueness…

We consider a system which consists of a Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with a Cahn-Hilliard-Oono equation in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d = 2, 3$. This system accounts for macrophase and microphase separation in a polymer mixture…
We prove that a local minimizer of the Ginzburg-Landau energy in ${\mathbb R}^3$ satisfying the condition $\liminf_{R\to\infty}E(u;B_R)/RlnR < 2\pi$ must be constant. The main tool is a new sharp eta-ellipticity result for minimizers in…
A significantly lower upper limit to minimum energy solutions of the electrostatic Thomson Problem is reported. A point charge is introduced to the origin of each $N$-charge solution. This raises the total energy by $N$ as an upper limit to…
This paper studies the inhomogeneous fractional Sch\"odinger equation $$i\dot u-(-\Delta)^s u=\pm(I_\alpha *|\cdot|^b|u|^p)|x|^b|u|^{p-2}u.$$ In the mass super-critical and energy sub-critical regimes, using a Gagliardo-Nirenberg adapted to…
