Loewner chains with Levy drivers have been proposed as models for random dendritic growth in two dimensions, and as candidates for finding extremal multifractal spectra in problems in classical function theory. These processes are not…
Surface growth, by association or dissociation of material on the boundaries of a body, is ubiquitous in both natural and engineering systems. It is the fundamental mechanism by which biological materials grow, starting from the level of a…
We describe, in an intrinsic way and using the global chart provided by Ito's parallel transport, a generalisation of the notion of geodesic (as critical path of an energy functional) to diffusion processes on Riemannian manifolds. These…
We consider a geodesic flow on a compact manifold endowed with a Riemannian (or Finsler, or Lorentz) metric satisfying some generic, explicit conditions. We couple the geodesic flow with a time-dependent potential, driven by an external…
We study asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the Loewner-Nirenberg problem in domains with conic singularities and establish asymptotic expansions with respect to two normal directions simultaneously. The spherical domains over which cones…
A linear growth-diffusion equation is studied in a time-dependent interval whose location and length both vary. We prove conditions on the boundary motion for which the solution can be found in exact form, and derive the explicit expression…
Solutions $u(x)$ to the class of inhomogeneous nonlinear ordinary differential equations taking the form \[u'' + u^2 = \alpha f(x) \] for parameter $\alpha$ are studied. The problem is defined on the $x$ line with decay of both the solution…
The Loewner equation describes the time development of an analytic map into the upper half of the complex plane in the presence of a "forcing", a defined singularity moving around the real axis. The applications of this equation use the…
We study the dynamics of "finger" formation in Laplacian growth without surface tension in a channel geometry (the Saffman-Taylor problem). Carefully determining the role of boundary geometry, we construct field equations of motion, these…
Moving boundary problems allow to model systems with phase transition at an inner boundary. Driven by problems in economics and finance, in particular modeling of limit order books, we consider a stochastic and non-linear extension of the…
The thesis studies linear and semilinear Dirichlet problems driven by different fractional Laplacians. The boundary data can be smooth functions or also Radon measures. The goal is to classify the solutions which have a singularity on the…
In this paper, we define and study Loewner chains and evolution families on finitely multiply-connected domains in the complex plane. These chains and families consist of conformal mappings on parallel slit half-planes and have one and two…
We prove existence of global solutions for differential equations driven by a geometric rough path under the condition that the vector fields have linear growth. We show by an explicit counter-example that the linear growth condition is not…
The (chordal) Loewner differential equation encodes certain curves in the half-plane (aka traces) by continuous real-valued driving functions. Not all curves are traces; the latter can be defined via a geometric condition called the local…
We develop a description of diffusion limited growth in solid-solid transformations, which are strongly influenced by elastic effects. Density differences and structural transformations provoke stresses at interfaces, which affect the phase…
This work is intended to be a contribution to the study of the morphology of the rising convective columns, for a better representation of the processes of entrainment and detrainment. We examine technical methods for the description of the…
A nested family of growing or shrinking planar domains is called a Laplacian growth process if the normal velocity of each domain's boundary is proportional to the gradient of the domain's Green function with a fixed singularity on the…
Variational problems of splitting-type with mixed linear-superlinear growth conditions are considered. In the twodimensional case the minimizing problem is given by \[ J [w] = \int_{\Omega} \Big[f_1\big(\partial_1 w\big) +…
A systematic analytic treatment of fluctuations in Laplacian growth is given. The growth process is regularized by a short-distance cutoff $\hbar$ preventing the cusps production in a finite time. This regularization mechanism generates…
We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection…
