In this paper we study the (asymptotic and exponential) stability of the $m$-fold circle as a solution of the $p$-curve shortening flow ($p\geq 1$ an integer).

Grobli (1877) laid the foundation for the analysis of the motion of three point vortices in a plane by deriving governing equations for triangular configurations of the vortices. Synge (1949) took this formulation one step further to that…

In this paper we study the $L^2$-gradient flow of the penalized elastic energy on networks of $q$-curves in $\R^{n}$ for $q \geq 3$. Each curve is fixed at one end-point and at the other is joint to the other curves at a movable…
Reduced-order models for flows that exhibit time-periodic behavior are critical for several tasks, including active control and optimization. One well-known procedure to obtain the desired reduced-order model in the proximity of a periodic…
In this work, we present three important theorems related to the corrected Smagorinsky model for turbulence in time-dependent domains. The first theorem establishes an improved regularity criterion for the solution of the corrected…
Stabilization is still a somewhat controversial issue concerning its very existence and also the precise conditions for its occurrence. The key quantity to settle these questions is the ionization probability, for which hitherto no…
Three-dimensional turbulence is usually studied experimentally by using a spatially localized forcing at large scales (e.g. via rotating blades or oscillating grids), often in a deterministic way. Here, we report an original technique where…
The elastic flow, which is the $L^2$-gradient flow of the elastic energy, has several applications in geometry and elasticity theory. We present stable discretizations for the elastic flow in two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are…
We study the curve shortening flow on Riemann surfaces with finitely many conformal conical singularities. If the initial curve is passing through the singular points, then the evolution is governed by a degenerate quasilinear parabolic…
Characteristic curves of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be seen as action minimizing trajectories of fluid particles. However this description is valid only for smooth solutions. For nonsmooth "viscosity" solutions, which give rise to…
