We study the problem of resolving singularities via the blow-up of the module of derivations. Our main results are a positive answer for the case of curves and log-canonical surface singularities, i.e., a finite sequence of blow-ups along…
The finite time blow-up of solutions for 1-D NLS with oscillating nonlinearities is shown in two domains: (1) the whole real line where the nonlinear source is acting in the interior of the domain and (2) the right half-line where the…
We consider the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative white noise: $\partial_t u =\partial_x^2u + b(u) +\sigma(u) \dot W$, both on $[0,1]$ and $\mathbf{R}$. In the case of $[0,1]$ we show that the finite Osgood criterion on $b$ is a…

The Whitney forms on a simplex $T$ admit high-order generalizations that have received a great deal of attention in numerical analysis. Less well-known are the shadow forms of Brasselet, Goresky, and MacPherson. These forms generalize the…
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to computational electromagnetics (CEM) and photonic design, but classical solvers face high costs for large or complex structures. Quantum Hamiltonian simulation provides a framework to…
The aim of this paper is to give global nonexistence and blow--up results for the problem $$ \begin{cases} u_{tt}-\Delta u+P(x,u_t)=f(x,u) \qquad &\text{in $(0,\infty)\times\Omega$,}\\ u=0 &\text{on $(0,\infty)\times \Gamma_0$,}\\…
