We study the long time dynamics of the Schr\"odinger equation on Zoll manifolds. We establish criteria under which the solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation can or cannot concentrate on a given closed geodesic. As an application, we…

We consider a compact smooth manifold $X$ of dimension $n+1$ with boundary $M=\partial X$. In a collar neighborhood of $M$, we assume that the metric has the form $g=u^{-\alpha}\bar g$, where $u$ is a boundary defining function, $\alpha\in…

In this paper we consider the following Dirichlet problem for the $p$-Laplacian in the positive parameters $\lambda$ and $\beta$: [{{array} [c]{rcll}% -\Delta_{p}u & = & \lambda h(x,u)+\beta f(x,u,\nabla u) & \text{in}\Omega u & = & 0 &…

We consider the large time behavior of solutions to defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the presence of a time dependent external potential. The main assumption on the potential is that it grows at most quadratically in space,…

In this paper, we study a natural optimal control problem associated to the Paneitz obstacle problem on closed 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We show the existence of an optimal control which is an optimal state and induces also a…

In this work we prove that given an open bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with a $C^2$ boundary, there exists $\epsilon := \epsilon(\Omega)$ small enough such that for all $0 < \delta < \epsilon$ the maximum of $\{\lambda_1(\Omega…

Since the early nineties, it has been observed that the Schroedinger bridge problem can be formulated as a stochastic control problem with atypical boundary constraints. This in turn has a fluid dynamic counterpart where the flow of…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain satisfying a Hayman-type asymmetry condition, and let $ D $ be an arbitrary bounded domain referred to as "obstacle". We are interested in the behaviour of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue…

It has been conjectured by Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford [J. High Energy Phys.~08 (2016) 106] that the exponential growth rate of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) $F(t)$ has a universal upper bound $2\pi k_B T/\hbar$. Here we…
