Pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems where the diffusion terms correspond to a Sturm-Liouville problem are studied. These correspond to a problem where the diffusion coefficient depends on the spatial variable: $\nabla \cdot…

We consider cross-diffusion systems describing evolution of two species $u$ and $v$ moving according to Darcy's law with the pressure law $p(s) = \frac{1}{\alpha-1} s^{\alpha-1}$ where $s=u+v$. One of the most challenging questions in the…

Let $M$ be a compact connected Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu(d x):=e^{V(x)}d x$ is a probability measure, and let $\{\lambda_i\}_{i\ge 1} $ be all non-trivial eigenvalues of $-L$ with Neumann…

We study the "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in…

We study a model of $n$ non-intersecting squared Bessel processes in the confluent case: all paths start at time $t = 0$ at the same positive value $x = a$, remain positive, and are conditioned to end at time $t = T$ at $x = 0$. In the…

We investigate the Cauchy problem for a semilinear spatio--temporal fractional diffusion equation with a time-dependent forcing term: \[ \partial_t^\alpha u + (-\Delta)^{\mathsf{s}} u = |u|^p + t^{\sigma}\,\mathbf{w}(x), \quad (t,x) \in…

We establish the boundedness of solutions of reaction-diffusion systems with quadratic (in fact slightly super-quadratic) reaction terms that satisfy a natural entropy dissipation property, in any space dimension N>2. This bound imply the…
