We give a survey of the following six closely related topics: (i) a general method for constructing a soliton hierarchy from a splitting of a loop algebra into positive and negative subalgebras, together with a sequence of commuting…
In this paper, we present a problem involving fully nonlinear elliptic operators with Hamiltonian, which can present a singularity or degenerate as the gradient approaches the origin. The model studied here, allows the appearance of plateau…
Moyal-deformed hierarchies of soliton equations can be extended to larger hierarchies by including additional evolution equations with respect to the deformation parameters. A general framework is presented in which the extension is…
We compute the genus one correction to the integrable hierarchy describing coupling to gravity of a 2D topological field theory. The bihamiltonian structure of the hierarchy is given by a classical W-algebra; we compute the central charge…
We introduce new times in the monodromy preserving equations. While the usual times related to the moduli of complex structures of Riemann curves such as coordinates of marked points, we consider the moduli of generalized complex structures…
Many theories of physical interest, which admit a Hamiltonian description, exhibit symmetries under a particular class of non - strictly canonical transformation, known as dynamical similarities. The presence of such symmetries allows a…
Solitons and cavitons (localized solutions with singularities) for the nonlocal Whitham equations are studied. The equation of a fourth order with a parameter in front of fourth derivative for traveling waves is reduced to a reversible…
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The reaction term is of arbitrary growth and only conditions near zero are imposed. Using critical point theory together with suitable…
In a recent paper, we exhibit a link between the average local growth of Laplace eigenfunctions on surfaces and the size of their nodal set. In that paper, the average local growth is computed using the uniform - or $L^\infty$ - growth…
We prove some abstract multiplicity theorems that can be used to obtain multiple nontrivial solutions of critical growth $p$-Laplacian and $(p,q)$-Laplacian type problems. We show that the problems considered here have arbitrarily many…
The aim of this paper is to apply direct methods to the study of integrals that appear naturally in Statistical Mechanics and Euclidean Field Theory. We provide weighted estimates leading to the exponential decay of the two-point…
We study SDEs arising from limiting fluctuations in a $(2+1)$-dimensional surface growth model called the Whittaker driven particle system, which is believed to be in the anisotropic Kardar--Parisi--Zhang class. The main result of this…
We analyze a quasi-continuous linear chain with self-similar distribution of harmonic interparticle springs as recently introduced for one dimension (Michelitsch et al., Phys. Rev. E 80, 011135 (2009)). We define a continuum limit for one…
An asymptotic analysis for a system with equation and dynamic boundary condition of Cahn-Hilliard type is carried out as the coefficient of the surface diffusion acting on the phase variable tends to 0, thus obtaining a forward-backward…
We consider a random growth model based on the IDLA protocol with sources in a hyperplane of $Z^d$ . We provide a stabilization result and a shape theorem generalizing [7] in any dimension by introducing new techniques leading to a rough…

The barotropic ideal fluid with step and delta-function discontinuities coupled to Einstein's gravity is studied. The discontinuities represent star surfaces and thin shells; only non-intersecting discontinuity hypersurfaces are considered.…
The evolution equation derived by Xiang (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 63:241--258, 2002) to describe vicinal surfaces in heteroepitaxial growth is $$ h_t=-\left[ H(h_x)+\left(h_x^{-1}+h_x \right) h_{xx}\right]_{xx}, $$ where $h$ denotes the surface…
