This article deals with the existence of hypersurfaces minimizing general shape functionals under certain geometric constraints. We consider as admissible shapes orientable hypersurfaces satisfying a so-called reach condition, also known as…

Consider 3D Boltzmann equation in convex domains with diffusive-reflection boundary condition. We study the hydrodynamic limits as the Knudsen number and Strouhal number $\epsilon\rightarrow 0^+$. Using the Hilbert expansion, we rigorously…

Burgers' equation is a well-studied model in applied mathematics with connections to the Navier-Stokes equations in one spatial direction and traffic flow, for example. Following on from previous work, we analyse solutions to Burgers'…

For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…

We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…

In 1970, Lawson solved the topological realization problem for minimal surfaces in the sphere, showing that any closed orientable surface can be minimally embedded in $\mathbb{S}^3$. The analogous problem for surfaces with boundary was…

In this paper we develop an abstract theory for the Codazzi equation on surfaces, and use it as an analytic tool to derive new global results for surfaces in the space forms ${\bb R}^3$, ${\bb S}^3$ and ${\bb H}^3$. We give essentially…

This work analyses the homogenization of a linear elliptic equation with Neumann boundary conditions in a comb/brush domain, composed of a fixed base and a family of thin teeth. The teeth are defined as rescalings of order less than or…

We establish shape holomorphy results for general weakly- and hyper-singular boundary integral operators arising from second-order partial differential equations in unbounded two-dimensional domains with multiple finite-length open arcs.…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function strictly increasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. Our main result…

I previously used Burgers' equation to introduce a new method of numerical discretisation of \pde{}s. The analysis is based upon centre manifold theory so we are assured that the discretisation accurately models all the processes and their…

Since the pioneering work of Canham and Helfrich, variational formulations involving curvature-dependent functionals, like the classical Willmore functional, have proven useful for shape analysis of biomembranes. We address minimizers of…

We prove an optimal restriction theorem for an arbitrary homogeneous polynomial hypersurface (of degree at least 2) in R^3, with affine curvature introduced as mitigating factor.

In this work we investigate Gromov-Hausdorff limits of compact surfaces carrying length metrics. More precisely, we consider the case where all surfaces have the same Euler characteristic. We give a complete description of the limit spaces…

We study minimal graphs in the homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifold $\widetilde{PSL_2(\mathbb{R})}$ and we give examples of invariant surfaces. We derive a gradient estimate for solutions of the minimal surface equation in this space and…

Motivated by applications to cell biology, we study the constrained minimization of the Helfrich energy among closed surfaces confined to a container. We show existence of minimizers in the class of bubble trees of spherical weak branched…

The dimer model is a classical statistical mechanics model which is exactly solvable in two dimensions, but about which little is known in higher dimensions. In analogy with large $N$ limits in lattice gauge theory, we study a large $N$…

In this paper, we study the restriction estimate for a certain surface of finite type in $\mathbb{R}^3$, and partially improves the results of Buschenhenke-M\"{u}ller-Vargas. The key ingredients of the proof include the so called…
