In the case of the heat equation $u_t=u_{xx}+Vu$ on the real line there are some remarkable potentials $V$ for which the asymptotic expansion of the fundamental solution becomes a finite sum and gives an exact formula. We show that a…

We study two new classes of inverse problems for a time-switched system in which a fractional wave equation (with Caputo derivative of order $\alpha \in (1,2)$) governs the dynamics on the interval $[0,a)$, and a fractional diffusion…

We construct globally defined in time, unbounded positive solutions to the energy-critical heat equation in dimension three $$ u_t = \Delta u + u^5 , \quad {\mbox {in}} \quad \R^3 \times (0,\infty), \ \ u(x, 0)= u_0 (x)\inn \R^3. $$ For…

In this paper we deal with the heat equation with drift in $L_{d+1}$. Basically, we prove that, if the free term is in $L_{q}$ with high enough $q$, then the equation is uniquely solvable in a rather unusual class of functions such that…

We consider a system in a non-equilibrium steady state by joining two semi-infinite Ising chains coupled to thermal reservoirs with {\em different} temperatures, $T$ and $T^{\prime}$. To compute the energy flux from the hot bath through our…

We show how using a special relativistic kinetic equation with a BGK- like collision operator the ensuing expression for the heat flux can be casted in the form required by Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics. Indeed, it is linearly…

In this paper, we study several inverse problems associated with a fractional differential equation of the following form: \[ (-\Delta)^s u(x)+\sum_{k=0}^N a^{(k)}(x) [u(x)]^k=0,\ \ 0<s<1,\ N\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\cup\{\infty\}, \] which is…

Temperature uncertainty of a quantum system in canonical ensemble is inversely determined by its energy fluctuation, which is known as the temperature-energy uncertainty relation. No such uncertainty relation was discovered for a…

We prove that the Cauchy problem associated with the one dimensional quadratic (fractional) heat equation: $u_t=D_x^{2\alpha} u \mp u^2,\; t\in (0,T),\; x\in \R$ or $ \T $, with $ 0<\alpha\le 1 $ is well-posed in $ H^s $ for $ s\ge…

The U_q(\hat{sl}(2)) Bethe equation is studied at q=0. A linear congruence equation is proposed related to the string solutions. The number of its off-diagonal solutions is expressed in terms of an explicit combinatorial formula and…

It is known that a bounded solution of the heat equation in a half-space which becomes zero at some time must be identically zero, even though no assumptions are made on the boundary values of the solutions. In a recent example, Luis…

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold with a family of Riemannian metrics $g_{ij}(t)$ evolving by a geometric flow $\partial_{t}g_{ij} = -2{S}_{ij}$, where $S_{ij}(t)$ is a family of smooth symmetric two-tensors. We derive several…

We study the initial trace problem for positive solutions of semilinear heat equations with strong absorption. We show that in general this initial trace is an outer regular Borel measure. We emphasize in particular the case where $u$…

We consider a non-autonomous form $\fra:[0,T]\times V\times V \to \C$ where $V$ is a Hilbert space which is densely and continuously embedded in another Hilbert space $H$. Denote by $\A(t) \in \L(V,V')$ the associated operator. Given $f \in…

We consider the inverse problem of determining different type of information about a diffusion process, described by ordinary or fractional diffusion equations stated on a bounded domain, like the density of the medium or the velocity field…

We consider the nonlinear heat equation $u_t - \Delta u = |u|^\alpha u$ on ${\mathbb R}^N$, where $\alpha >0$ and $N\ge 1$. We prove that in the range $0 < \alpha <\frac {4} {N-2}$, for every $\mu >0$, there exist infinitely many…

Let $q(x)$ be real-valued compactly supported sufficiently smooth function, $q\in H^\ell_0(B_a)$, $B_a:=\{x: |x|\leq a, x\in R^3$ . It is proved that the scattering data $A(-\beta,\beta,k)$ $\forall \beta\in S^2$, $\forall k>0$ determine…

We study the diffusion (or heat) equation on a finite 1-dimensional spatial domain, but we replace one of the boundary conditions with a "nonlocal condition", through which we specify a weighted average of the solution over the spatial…
