Rough surface scattering problems are always very challenging both theoretically and numerically. In this paper, we adopt the Bloch transform and the perturbation theory to investigate a special case, i.e., when the rough surface is a…

We prove that the spacetime Brakke flow constructed by Buet et al. is non-trivial as long as the initial varifold is a union of boundaries of domains of finite perimeter. In the codimension 1 setting, we show that, starting from a smooth…

A recent prominent result asserts that steady incompressible Euler flows strictly away from stagnation in a two-dimensional infinitely long strip must be shear flows. On the other hand, flows with stagnation points, very challenging in…
