We present a new model of homogeneous aggregation that contains the essential physical ideas of the classical predecessors, the Becker-Doring and Lifshitz-Slyovoz models. These classical models, which give different predictions, are…

We study semi-dynamical systems associated to delay differential equations. We give a simple criteria to obtain weak and strong persistence and provide sufficient conditions to guarantee uniform persistence. Moreover, we show the existence…
A sufficient condition for existence of a solution of a differential inclusion with a uniformly bounded right-hand side that has nonempty closed (possibly nonconvex) values is obtained. An Olech-type result is obtained as a corollary. An…
In this work we provide conditions for the existence of periodic solutions to nonlinear, second-order difference equations of the form \begin{equation*} y(t+2)+by(t+1)+cy(t)=g(t,y(t)) \end{equation*} where $c\neq 0$, and…

We are interested in the long-time asymptotic behavior of growth-fragmentation equations with a nonlinear growth term. We present examples for which we can prove either the convergence to a steady state or conversely the existence of…
We study the well-posedness, steady states and long time behavior of solutions to Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation with external confinement potential and nonlinear self-consistent interactions. Our analysis introduces newly characterized…
We show existence of a non-equilibrium steady state for the one-dimensional, non-linear BGK model on an interval with diffusive boundary conditions. These boundary conditions represent the coupling of the system with two heat reservoirs at…
This paper provides two results that are useful in the study of the existence and the stability properties of a periodic solution for a given dynamical system. The first result deals with scalar time-periodic systems and establishes the…
In this paper, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for a scalar function to be nonincreasing along solutions to general differential inclusions with state constraints. The problem of determining if a function is nonincreasing…
Understanding the structural evolution of granular systems is a long-standing problem. A recently proposed theory for such dynamics in two dimensions predicts that steady states of very dense systems satisfy detailed-balance. We analyse…
In this paper we study the existence of solutions to a steady system that describes the motion of a micropolar electrorheological fluid. The constitutive relations for the stress tensors belong to the class of generalized Newtonian fluids.…
We consider a boundary value problem involving conformable derivative of order $\alpha ,$ $1<\alpha <2$ and Dirichlet conditions. To prove the existence of solutions, we apply the method of upper and lower solutions together with Schauder's…
