The Toda lattice (1967) is a Hamiltonian system given by $n$ points on a line governed by an exponential potential. Flaschka (1974) showed that the Toda lattice is integrable by interpreting it as a flow on the space of symmetric…
The classical hierarchy of Toda flows can be thought of as an action of the (abelian) group of polynomials on Jacobi matrices. We present a generalization of this to the larger groups of $C^2$ and entire functions, and in this second case,…
A continuum limit of the Toda lattice field theory, called the SDiff(2) Toda equation, is shown to have a Lax formalism and an infinite hierarchy of higher flows. The Lax formalism is very similar to the case of the self-dual vacuum…
Let $(M, g)$ be a compact Riemann surface with area $1$. We investigate the Toda system \begin{align} \begin{cases} -\Delta u_1 = 2\rho_1(h_1e^{u_1}-1) - \rho_2(h_2e^{u_2}-1),\\ -\Delta u_2 = 2\rho_2(h_2e^{u_2}-1) - \rho_1(h_1e^{u_1}-1),…
In this paper, we study the Poiseuille laminar flow in a tube for the full Ericksen-Leslie system. It is a parabolic-hyperbolic coupled system which may develop singularity in finite time. We will prove the global existence of energy weak…
In this paper, we investigate two hyperbolic flows obtained by adding forcing terms in direction of the position vector to the hyperbolic mean curvature flows in \cite{klw,hdl}. For the first hyperbolic flow, as in \cite{klw}, by using…
We consider positive solutions of cooperative parabolic Lotka-Volterra systems with equal diffusion coefficients, in bounded and unbounded domains. The systems are complemented by the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. Under suitable…
For all rank two Toda systems with an arbitrary singular source, we use a unified approach to prove: (i) The pair of local masses $(\sigma_1,\sigma_2)$ at each blowup point has the expression $$\sigma_i=2(N_{i1}\mu_1+N_{i2}\mu_2+N_{i3}),$$…
We consider the singular $SU(3)$ Toda system with multiple singular sources \begin{align*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\Delta w_1=2e^{2w_1}-e^{w_2}+2\pi\sum_{\ell=1}^m\beta_{1,\ell}\delta_{P_{\ell}}\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^2\\…
We define a class of dynamical systems by modifying a construction due to Tao, which includes certain Furstenburg limits arising from the Liouville function. Most recent progress on the Chowla conjectures and sign patterns of the Mobius and…
We study a class of non-linear parabolic systems relevant in turbulence theory. Those systems can be viewed as simplified versions of the Prandtl one-equation and Kolmogorov two-equation models of turbulence. We restrict our attention to…
In this article we study bubbling solutions of regular $SU(3)$ Toda systems defined on a Riemann surface. There are two major difficulties corresponding to the profile of bubbling solutions: partial blowup phenomenon and bubble…
We investigate the issue of uniqueness of the limit flow for a relevant class of quasi-linear parabolic equations defined on the whole space. More precisely, we shall investigate conditions which guarantee that the global solutions decay at…
We explore some properties of flows with strongly adapted 1-forms, originally discovered in (Tao 2017), which can be used to embed Turing machines into dynamical systems. In particular, we discuss some relations to geodesible flows, and…
We solve a super Toda system on a closed Riemann surface of genus~$\gamma>1$ and with some particular spin structures. This generalizes the min-max methods and results for super Liouville equations and gives new existence results for super…
In this paper we consider the Toda system of equations on a compact surface, which is motivated by the study of models in non-abelian Chern-Simons theory. We prove a general existence result using variational methods. The same analysis…
The boundary conditions prescribing the constant traction or the so-called do-nothing conditions are frequently taken on artificial boundaries in the numerical simulations of steady flow of incompressible fluids, despite the fact that they…
We construct the first example of finite time blow-up solutions for the heat flow of the $H$-system, describing the evolution of surfaces with constant mean curvature \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &u_t = \Delta u -…
In this paper, we use the modified potential well method to study the long time behaviors of solutions to the heat flow of H-system in a bounded smooth domain of $R^2$. Global existence and finite time blowup of solutions are proved when…
