Many physical systems of interest involve the close interaction of a flow in a domain with complex, time-varying boundaries. Treatment of boundaries of this nature is cumbersome due to the difficulty in explicitly tracking boundaries that…
We propose a method of construction of exact solutions of free boundary problems corresponding to Hele-Shaw flows in presence of an external field. Such a field may arise, in particular, due to electrokinetic phenomena. Both a general…

This is the sequel of the recent work (Du, Huang, Pu, Commun. Math. Phys, 2023, doi: 10.1007/s00220-023-04651-7) on axially symmetric gravity water waves with general vorticities, which has investigated the singular wave profile of the free…

If we want to deform a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary using Ricci flow, we first need to decide on appropriate boundary conditions. We would like these conditions to reflect the geometric nature of the flow and allow for a…
This work investigates a dynamical system functioning as a nonsmooth adaptation of the continuous Newton method, aimed at minimizing the sum of a primal lower-regular and a locally Lipschitz function, both potentially nonsmooth. The…
