This paper continues the systematic investigation of diffusive shear instabilities initiated in Part I of this series. In this work, we primarily focus on quantifying the impact of non-local mixing, which is not taken into account in Zahn's…
We study a wave equation in one space dimension with a general diffusion coefficient which degenerates on part of the boundary. Degeneracy is measured by a real parameter $\mu_a>0$. We establish observability inequalities for weakly (when…

In this paper, we examine regularity and stability issues for two damped abstract elastic systems. The damping involves the average velocity and a fractional power $\theta$, with $\theta$ in $[-1,1]$, of the principal operator. The matrix…

We present a general, physically motivated non-linear and non-local advection equation in which the diffusion of interacting random walkers competes with a local drift arising from a kind of peer pressure. We show, using a mapping to an…

In this paper we explore the discretization of Euler-Poincar\'e-Suslov equations on $SO(3)$, i.e. of the Suslov problem. We show that the consistency order corresponding to the unreduced and reduced setups, when the discrete reconstruction…
We study diffusion processes that are stopped or reflected on the boundary of a domain. The generator of the process is assumed to contain two parts: the main part that degenerates on the boundary in a direction orthogonal to the boundary…
Disorder can fundamentally modify the transport properties of a system. A striking example is Anderson localization, suppressing transport due to destructive interference of propagation paths. In inhomogeneous many-body systems, not all…
The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of minimizers for a variational problem involving the minimization under volume constraint of the sum of the perimeter and a non-local energy of Wasserstein type. This extends previous partial…
We prove a motivic stabilization result for the cohomology of the local systems on configuration spaces of varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ attached to character polynomials. Our approach interprets the stabilization as a probabilistic…
Rydberg tweezer arrays provide a platform for realizing spin-1/2 Hamiltonians with long-range tunneling that decays as a power law with distance. We numerically investigate the effects of positional disorder and dimerization on the…
We consider the dielectric breakdown model in the limit $\eta\to 0^+$. A differential equation describing the surface growth is derived; this equation is KPZ plus a term causing linear instability, and includes a short-distance…
We consider the Landau-de Gennes variational model for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional domains. More precisely, we study the asymptotic behaviour of minimizers as the elastic constant tends to zero, under the assumption that…
