In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of continuous- and discrete-time gradient flows of a ``lower-unbounded" convex function $f$ on a Hadamard manifold $M$, particularly, their convergence properties to the boundary $M^{\infty}$…
We study a turbulence closure model in which the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$ of the velocity field represents the turbulence diffusivity. We investigate the energy spectrum of the model by applying Pao's energy transfer theory.…
The landslide flow, introduced in [5], is a smoother analog of the earthquake flow on Teichm\"uller space which shares some of its key properties. We show here that further properties of earthquakes apply to landslides. The landslide flow…
Gradient descent, or negative gradient flow, is a standard technique in optimization to find minima of functions. Many implementations of gradient descent rely on discretized versions, i.e., moving in the gradient direction for a set step…
We introduce a class of unconditionally energy stable, high order accurate schemes for gradient flows in a very general setting. The new schemes are a high order analogue of the minimizing movements approach for generating a time discrete…

In this paper we study a perturbative approach to the problem of quantization of measures in the plane. Motivated by the fact that, as the number of points tends to infinity, hexagonal lattices are asymptotically optimal from an energetic…

In this paper, we prove that optimizability of any function F using Gradient Flow from all initializations implies a Poincar\'e Inequality for Gibbs measures mu_{beta} = e^{-beta F}/Z at low temperature. In particular, under mild regularity…
In his 1989 paper, Floer established a connection between holomorphic strips with boundary on a Lagrangian $L$ and a small Hamiltonian push-off $L_{f}$, and gradient flow lines for the function $f$. The present paper studies the compactness…
We prove the existence of small steady periodic capillary-gravity water waves for general stratified flows, where we allow for stagnation points in the flow. We establish the existence of both laminar and non-laminar flow solutions for the…
We analyze the long-time behavior of solutions to semilinear parabolic equations in Euclidean space that arise as gradient flows of an energy functional. We prove that, for general initial data (including data without compact support) the…
We mainly investigate some properties of quasiconformal mappings between smooth 2-dimensional surfaces with boundary in the Euclidean space, satisfying certain partial differential equations (inequalities) concerning Laplacian, and in…
A two-dimensional inviscid incompressible fluid is governed by simple rules. Yet, to characterise its long-time behaviour is a knotty problem. The fluid evolves according to Euler's equations: a non-linear Hamiltonian system with infinitely…
The variance of observables of quantum states of the Laplacian on the modular surface is calculated in the semiclassical limit. It is shown that this hermitian form is diagonalized by the irreducible representations of the modular quotient…
