An important implication of Rademacher's Differentiation Theorem is that every Lipschitz curve $\Gamma$ infinitesimally looks like a line at almost all of its points in the sense that at $\mathcal{H}^1$-almost every point of $\Gamma$, the…
Bounds of total curvature and entropy are two common conditions placed on mean curvature flows. We show that these two hypotheses are equivalent for the class of ancient complete embedded smooth planar curve shortening flows, which are…
It was shown by Angenent, Altschuler and Giga, and by Angenent and Velazquez that there exist closed mean curvature flow solutions that extinct to a point in finite time, without ever becoming convex prior to their extinction. These…
The Hamiltonian structure of General Relativity (GR), for both metric and tetrad gravity in a definite continuous family of space-times, is fully exploited in order to show that: i) the "Hole Argument" can be bypassed by means of a specific…
We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…
we consider a system with homoclinic orbit, We decompose the corresponding variational equation on the space of solutions and provide sufficient conditions for the permanency of homoclinic in the space of $C^1$ vector fields. We also…
Infinite energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ may be constructed by decomposing the initial data into a finite energy piece and an infinite energy piece, which are then treated separately. We prove that the…
In this paper, we use Legendre-Fenchel transform and a space decomposition to carry out Fountain theorem and dual Fountain theorem for the following elliptic system of Hamiltonian type: \[ \begin{cases} \begin{aligned} -\Delta u&=H_v(u, v)…
Constructal Law states that a finite-size flow system that persists in time evolves its configuration so as to provide progressively easier access to the currents that flow through it. Classical Constructal theory derives hierarchical flow…
A boundary value problem on an unbounded domain, associated to difference equations with the Euclidean mean curvature operator is considered. The existence of solutions which are positive on the whole domain and decaying at infinity is…
We examine the regime between crystalline and amorphous packings of anisotropic objects on surfaces of different genus by continuously varying their size distribution or shape from monodispersed spheres to bidispersed mixtures or…
A similarity structure on a connected manifold M is a Riemannian metric on its universal cover such that the fundamental group of M acts by similarities. If the manifold M is compact, we show that the universal cover admits a de Rham…
In a recent paper [WW23] we studied the transport of oscillations in solutions to linear and some semilinear second-order hyperbolic boundary problems along rays that graze a convex obstacle to any order. We showed that high frequency exact…
In this paper, we first consider a class of expanding flows of closed, smooth, star-shaped hypersurface in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $u^\alpha f^{-\beta}$, where $u$ is the support function of the hypersurface, $f$ is a…
We develop techniques to capture the effect of transport on the long-term dynamics of small, localized initial data in nonlinearly coupled reaction-diffusion-advection equations on the real line. It is well-known that quadratic or cubic…
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
The goal of this work is to establish the global existence of nonnegative classical solutions in all dimensions for a system of highly nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. We address the case for different diffusion coefficients and the…
The classic Ham-Sandwich theorem states that for any $d$ measurable sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, there is a hyperplane that bisects them simultaneously. An extension by B\'ar\'any, Hubard, and Jer\'onimo [DCG 2008] states that if the sets are…
Within a framework of noncommutative geometry, we develop an analogue of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry on finite and discrete sets. On a finite set, there is a counterpart of the continuum metric tensor with a simple geometric…
In this paper we study a normalised anisotropic Gauss curvature flow of strictly convex, closed hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space R^n+1. We prove that the flow exists for all time and converges smoothly to the unique, strictly convex…
