In this paper we discuss the existence and non-existence of weak solutions to parametric fractional equations involving the square root of the Laplacian $A_{1/2}$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) and with…
We introduce a new sharp interface model for the flow of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluids. In contrast to classical models for two-phase flows we prescribe an evolution law for the interfaces that takes diffusional effects…
It is known that there is a strong relation between the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation and the mean curvature flow, in the sense that the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation can be considered as a ``diffused" mean curvature flow. In this work,…
