We consider non-negative solutions of the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$ with $m \in (0,1)$, in the Euclidean space R^d, d?3, and study the asymptotic behavior of a natural class of solutions, in the limit corresponding to…
In this paper, we are concerned with the well-known Brezis-Nirenberg problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u= u^{2^*-1}+\varepsilon u^{q-1},\quad u>0, &{\text{in}~\Omega},\\ \quad \ \ u=0, &{\text{on}~\partial \Omega}, \end{cases}…

In this paper, we investigate carefully the blow-up behaviour of sequences of solutions of some elliptic PDE in dimension two containing a nonlinearity with Trudinger-Moser growth. A quantification result had been obtained by the first…
We classify all the blow-up solutions in self-similar form to the following reaction-diffusion equation $$ \partial_tu=\Delta u^m+|x|^{\sigma}u^p, $$ posed for $(x,t)\in\real^N\times(0,T)$, with $m>1$, $1\leq p<m$ and…
Consider a smooth, bounded domain $\O\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 4$ and a smooth positive function $V$. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of positive solutions $u_\e$ to the equation $-\Delta u +V(x)u…
We study the asymptotic profile, as $\hbar\rightarrow 0$, of positive solutions to $$-\hbar^2\Delta u+V(x)u-\hbar^{2+\gamma}u\Delta u^2=K(x)|u|^{p-2}u,\ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^N $$ where $\gamma\geq 0$ is a parameter with relevant physical…
We investigate various dark energy models by taking into account the thermal effects induced from Hawking radiation on the apparent horizon of the Universe, for example near a finite-time future singularity. If the dark energy density…
The vacuum fluctuations give rise to a number of phenomena; however, the the Casimir Effect is arguably the most salient manifestation of the quantum vacuum. In its most basic form it is realized through the interaction of a pair of neutral…
We consider a Dirichlet problem for the Allen-Cahn equation in a smooth, bounded or unbounded, domain $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n.$ Under suitable assumptions, we prove an existence result and a uniform exponential estimate for symmetric…
One could begin a study like the present one by simply postulating that our universe is four-dimensional. There are ample reasons for doing this. Experience, observation and experiment all point to the fact that we inhabit a…
The asymptotic behaviour is studied of exponentially bounded sequences of codimensions of identities of algebras with unity. A series of algebras is constructed for which the base of the exponential increases by exactly one when an outer…
In this article, we study the blow-up of the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}-\Delta…

Given that a solution to the 3D incompressible Euler equations on a bounded domain blows up at a time $T_\ast$ and that $T_\ast$ is the first such time, we provide pointwise-in-time lower bounds on $\|D^k\omega\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)}$ for $k…
