In this paper we rigorously justify the propagation of chaos for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel equation over bounded convex domains. The boundary condition under consideration is the no-flux condition. As intermediate steps, we…
We study a finite system of diffusions on the half-line, absorbed when they hit zero, with a correlation effect that is controlled by the proportion of the processes that have been absorbed. As the number of processes in the system becomes…
We consider the singular limit of a chemotaxis model of bacterial collective motion recently introduced in arXiv:2009.11048 [math.AP]. The equation models aggregation-diffusion phenomena with advection that is discontinuous and depends…
An asymptotic limit of a class of Cahn-Hilliard systems is investigated to obtain a general nonlinear diffusion equation. The target diffusion equation may reproduce a number of well-known model equations: Stefan problem, porous media…

We consider a class of stochastic kinetic equations, depending on two time scale separation parameters $\epsilon$ and $\delta$: the evolution equation contains singular terms with respect to $\epsilon$, and is driven by a fast ergodic…
In this paper we consider spherically symmetric general fluids with heat flux, motivated by causal thermodynamics, and give the appropriate set of conditions that define separating shells defining the divide between expansion and collapse.…
The convective transport in a multicomponent isothermal compressible fluid subject to the mass continuity equations is considered. The velocity is proportional to the negative pressure gradient, according to Darcy's law, and the pressure is…
We perform an exhaustive study of the simplest, nontrivial problem in advection-diffusion -- a finite absorber of arbitrary cross section in a steady two-dimensional potential flow of concentrated fluid. This classical problem has been…
In this paper we study the long time asymptotic behavior for a class of diffusion-aggregation equations. Most results except the ones in Section 3.3 concern radial solutions. The main tools used in the paper are maximum-principle type…
Memory effects require for their incorporation into random-walk models an extension of the conventional equations. The linear Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density $p(\vec r, t)$ is generalized to include non-linear and…
We prove existence and Sobolev regularity of solutions of a nonlinear system of degenerate-parabolic PDEs with self- and cross-diffusion, transport/confinement and nonlocal interaction terms. The macroscopic system of PDEs is formally…
As a counterpoint to classical stochastic particle methods for linear diffusion equations, we develop a deterministic particle method for the weighted porous medium equation (WPME) and prove its convergence on bounded time intervals. This…
