In this article we prove the global existence of weak solutions for a diffuse interface model in a bounded domain (both in 2D and 3D) involving incompressible magnetic fluids with unmatched densities. The model couples the incompressible…
The well-posedness of a phase-field approximation to the Willmore flow with area and volume constraints is established when the functional approximating the area has no critical point satisfying the two constraints. The existence proof…
We show that on any smooth compact connected manifold of dimension $m\geq 2$ admitting a smooth non-trivial circle action $\mathcal{S} = \left\{S_t\right\}_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$, $S_{t+1}=S_t$, the set of weakly mixing…
In this paper we show that the floow map of the Benjamin-Ono equation on the line is weakly continuous in L2(R), using "local smoothing" estimates. L2(R) is believed to be a borderline space for the local well-posedness theory of this…
A variational technique is used to derive analytical expressions for the sensitivity of several geometric indicators of flow separation to steady actuation. Considering the boundary layer flow above a wall-mounted bump, the six following…
In this work we investigate the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of generalized incompressible and homogeneous viscous fluids. The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the…
In this paper we consider the flow of two incompressible, viscous and immiscible fluids in a bounded domain, with different densities and viscosities. This model consists of a coupled system of Navier-Stokes and Mullins-Sekerka type parts,…
We prove a comparison theorem for the compact surfaces with negative Euler characteristic via the Ricci flow.
Remarkably persistent mixing and non-mixing regions (islands) are observed to coexist in a three-dimensional dynamical system where randomness is expected. The track of an x-ray opaque particle in a spherical shell half-filled with dry…
We give explicit solutions to the two-component Hunter-Saxton system on the unit circle. Moreover, we show how global weak solutions can be naturally constructed using the geometric interpretation of this system as a re-expression of the…
We show that topological mixing, weak mixing and total transitivity are equivalent for coded systems. We provide an example of a mixing coded system which cannot be approximated by any increasing sequence of mixing shifts of finite type,…
We introduce a new framework to deal with rough differential equations based on flows and their approximations. Our main result is to prove that measurable flows exist under weak conditions, even solutions to the corresponding rough…
We prove that oriented and standard shadowing properties are equivalent for topological flows on closed surfaces with the nonwandering set consisting of the finite number of critical elements (i.e., singularities or closed orbits).…
We study relations between transitivity, mixing and periodic points on dendrites. We prove that when there is a point with dense orbit which is not an endpoint, then periodic points are dense and there is a terminal periodic decomposition…
The solid-on-solid model provides a commonly used framework for the description of surfaces. In the last years it has been extended in order to investigate the effect of defects in the bulk on the roughness of the surface. The determination…
The Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow is a gradient flow for the harmonic map energy of maps from a closed surface to a general closed Riemannian target manifold of any dimension, where both the map and the domain metric are allowed to…
An exterior space is a topological space provided with a quasi-filter of open subsets (closed by finite intersections). In this work, we analyze some relations between the notion of an exterior space and the notion of a discrete semi-flow.…
The purpose of this paper is to find conditions for a continuous onto map $\phi\colon X\rightarrow Y$ and its induced map $\phi_*\colon\mathcal{M}^1(X)\rightarrow\mathcal{M}^1(Y)$ to be semi-open, where $X$, $Y$ are compact Hausdorff spaces…
We identify all the weak sequential limits of smooth maps in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$. In particular, this implies a necessary and sufficient topological condition for smooth maps to be weakly sequentially dense in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$.
We decrease the $rms$ mean curvature and area of a variable surface with a fixed boundary by iterating a few times through a curvature-based variational algorithm. For a boundary with a known minimal surface, starting with a deliberately…
