We study the behaviour of the solutions of the stationary diffusion equation as a function of a possibly rough ($L^{\infty}$-) diffusivity. This includes the boundary behaviour of the solution maps, associating to each diffusivity the…
A multi-phase-field model for the description of the discontinuous precipitation reaction is formulated which takes into account surface diffusion along grain boundaries and interfaces as well as volume diffusion. Simulations reveal that…
The inverse problem of backward diffusion is known to be ill-posed and highly unstable. Backward diffusion processes appear naturally in image enhancement and deblurring applications. It is therefore greatly desirable to establish a…
Although standard planar double bubbles are stable in the sense that the second variation of the perimeter functional is non-negative for all area-preserving perturbations the question arises whether they are dynamically stable. By…
A recently developed Eulerian finite element method is applied to solve advection-diffusion equations posed on hypersurfaces. When transport processes on a surface dominate over diffusion, finite element methods tend to be unstable unless…
We present in this work a very short proof for the existence, uniqueness and smoothness in dimensions $d\leq 3$ of the system of reaction diffusion $ \partial\_t a\_i - d\_i \Delta a\_i = (-1)^i (a\_1 a\_3 - a\_2 a\_4)$, where $a\_i \geq 0$…
We consider the fundamental solution to the wave equation on a manifold with corners of arbitrary codimension. If the initial pole of the solution is appropriately situated, we show that the singularities which are diffracted by the corners…

Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and a bond-counting ansatz, thermal stability and diffusion of an adatom island on a crystal surface are studied. At low temperatures, the diffusion constant $D$ is found to decrease for a wide range of…
The stability of stationary solutions of first-order systems of PDE's are considered. They may include some singular geometric terms, leading to discontinuous flux and non-conservative products. Based on several examples in Fluid Mechanics,…
We consider the evolution of triple junction clusters driven by the surface diffusion flow. On the triple line we use the boundary conditions derived by Garcke and Novick-Cohen as the singular limit of a Cahn-Hilliard equation with…
We study a numerical method for convection diffusion equations, in the regime of small viscosity. It can be described as an exponentially fitted conforming Petrov-Galerkin method. We identify norms for which we have both continuity and an…
We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.
In a previous work [8], it was shown that the joint law of a diffusion process and the running supremum of its first component is absolutely continuous, and that its density satisfies a non standard weak partial differential equation (PDE).…
We show global well-posedness and exponential stability of equilibria for a general class of nonlinear dissipative bulk-interface systems. They correspond to thermodynamically consistent gradient structure models of bulk-interface…
We consider nonlinear scalar conservation laws posed on a network. We establish $L^1$ stability, and thus uniqueness, for weak solutions satisfying the entropy condition. We apply standard finite volume methods and show stability and…
In this continuum theory, we propose a mathematical framework to study the mechanical interplay of bulk-surfaces materials undergoing deformation and phase segregation. To this end, we devise a principle of virtual powers with a…
In many applications, transport of particles can be described by the diffusion equation, or its convective-diffusion generalizations, in part of three-dimensional space. In particular, in surface deposition or in growth of aggregates or…
Proving the uniqueness of solutions to multi-species cross-diffusion systems is a difficult task in the general case, and there exist very few results in this direction. In this work, we study a particular system with zero-flux boundary…
