The thin-film equation $\partial_t u = -\nabla \cdot (u^n \nabla \Delta u)$ describes the evolution of the height $u=u(x,t)\geq 0$ of a viscous thin liquid film spreading on a flat solid surface. We prove H\"older continuity of…
We summarise the recent theoretical progress in few-body descriptions of the piNN system. Previous descriptions, both three- and four-dimensional, are shown to possess serious theoretical inconsistencies. We illustrate how three-dimensional…

We prove existence of solutions to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with low-regularity data, in function spaces based on the Wiener algebra and in pseudomeasure spaces. In any spatial dimension, we allow the data to have its…
We present a long-wavelength approximation to the Navier-Stokes Cahn-Hilliard equations to describe phase separation in thin films. The equations we derive underscore the coupled behaviour of free-surface variations and phase separation.…
A variational model for epitaxially strained films accounting for the presence of dislocations is considered. Existence, regularity and some qualitative properties of solutions are addressed.
In this paper, we consider a family of one-dimensional fourth order evolution equations arising as gradient flows of the Korteweg energy, i.e. the $L^2$-norm of the first derivative of some power of the density. This family of equations…
