We introduce a new framework to deal with rough differential equations based on flows and their approximations. Our main result is to prove that measurable flows exist under weak conditions, even solutions to the corresponding rough…
We study the finite element formulation of general boundary conditions for incompressible flow problems. Distinguishing between the contributions from the inviscid and viscid parts of the equations, we use Nitsche's method to develop a…
The Cauchy problem for a quasilinear system of hyperbolic-parabolic equations is addressed with the method of linearization and fixed point. Coupling between the hyperbolic and parabolic variables is allowed in the linearization and we do…
In this paper, we develop a universal, conceptually simple and systematic method to prove well-posedness to Cauchy problems for weak solutions of parabolic equations with non-smooth, time-dependent, elliptic part having a variational…
In many cases, groundwater flow in an unconfined aquifer can be simplified to a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville model of the form: \begin{equation*} x''(t)+\lambda x(t)=h(t)+\varepsilon f(x(t)),\hspace{.1in}t\in(0,\pi) \end{equation*}…
For any bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^3$, we establish the global existence of a weak solution $u:\Omega\times (0,+\infty)\to\mathbb R^3\times\mathbb S^2$ of the initial-boundary value (or the Cauchy) problem of the…
We investigate the phase-field approximation of the Willmore flow. This is a fourth-order diffusion equation with a parameter $\epsilon>0$ that is proportional to the thickness of the diffuse interface. We show rigorously that for…
In this work, we study the Cauchy problem of Poiseuille flow of the full Ericksen-Leslie model for nematic liquid crystals. The model is a coupled system of two partial differential equations: One is a quasi-linear wave equation for the…
This paper studies the Cauchy problem for variable coefficient weakly hyperbolic first order systems of partial differential operators. The hyperbolicity assumption is that for each $t, x$ the principal symbol is hyperbolic. No hypothesis…
For the natural initial conditions $L^1$ in the density field (more generally a positive bounded Radon measure) and $L^\infty$ in the velocity field we obtain global approximate solutions to the Cauchy problem for the 3-D systems of…
In this work we employ the relative energy method to obtain a weak-strong uniqueness principle for a Euler-Riesz system, as well as to establish its convergence in the high-friction limit towards a gradient flow equation. The main technical…
We prove a general criterion to establish existence and uniqueness of a short-time solution to an evolution equation involving "closed" sections of a vector bundle, generalizing a method used recently by Bryant and Xu for studying the…
We use Wegner's flow equation method to investigate the infinite-$U$ periodic Anderson model. We show that this method poses a new approach to the description of heavy fermion behaviour. Within this scheme we derive an effective Hamiltonian…
This paper introduces a novel weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for the numerical solution of the Brinkman equations. The Brinkman model, which seamlessly integrates characteristics of both the Stokes and Darcy equations, is employed…
A new approach to prove the one-dimensional Cauchy problem's weakly discontinuous solutions for hyperbolic PDEs are on the characteristics is discussed in this paper. To do so, I use wavelet singularity detection methods or WTMM [1] based…
In this short note, we show a uniqueness result of the energy solutions for the Cauchy problem of Schrodinger flow in the whole space $R^n$ provided there is a smooth solution in the energy class.
This article is devoted to questions concerning the existence of solutions for partial differential equation problems modeling granular flows. The models studied take into account the complex threshold rheology of these flows, as well as…
We propose a unified approach to the formal long-wave reduction of several fluid models for thin-layer incompressible homogeneous flows driven by a constant external force like gravity. The procedure is based on a mathematical coherence…
We study the Darboux equation, a fundamental PDE arising in the theory of isometric immersions of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds into $\mathbb{R}^3$, in the low-regularity regime. We introduce a notion of weak solution for $u\in…
We study the Willmore flow for graphs over a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with Dirichlet (clamped) boundary conditions, a still little-studied setting that also serves as a prototype for higher-order flows with fixed boundary data. We…
