(accepted for publication in the Ap.J.) I present a general classification of self-similar solutions to the equations of gravitational hydrodynamics that contain many previous results as special cases. For cold flows with spherical…
A two-dimensional steady problem of a potential free-surface flow of an ideal incompressible fluid caused by a singular sink is considered. The sink is placed at the horizontal bottom of the fluid layer. With the help of the Levi-Civita…
We investigate the overdetermined torsion problem $\begin{cases} -\Delta u = 1 & \text{in}\ \Omega\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=\text{const.} & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases}$ where $\Omega$…
We obtain a sequence of solutions converging to zero for the Kirchhoff equation $$-\left( 1+\int_{\Omega}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert^2\right) \Delta u+V(x)u=f(u)\text{,\qquad}u\in H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)$$ via truncating technique and a…

We study a diffuse interface model describing the motion of two viscous fluids driven by the surface tension in a Hele-Shaw cell. The full system consists of the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Darcy's law. We address the physically…

Spacelike surfaces with the same mean curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{L}^3$ are locally described as the graph of the solutions to the $H_R=H_L$ surface equation, which is an elliptic partial differential equation except at the…

Symmetry problems in harmonic analysis are formulated and solved. One of these problems is equivalent to the refined Schiffer's conjecture which was recently proved by the author. Let $k=const>0$ be fixed, $S^2$ be the unit sphere in…
