We investigate the effect of small diffusion on the principal eigenvalues of linear time-periodic parabolic operators with zero Neumann boundary conditions in one dimensional space. The asymptotic behaviors of the principal eigenvalues, as…

The paper considers parabolic equations in non-divergent form with discontinuous coefficients at higher derivatives. Their investigation is most complicated because, in general, in the case of discontinuous coefficients, the uniqueness of a…

We consider a parabolic equation driven by a nonlinear diffusive operator and we obtain a gradient estimate in the domain where the equation takes place. This estimate depends on the structural constants of the equation, on the geometry of…

In this paper we study a class of variable coefficient third order partial differential operators on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, containing, as a subclass, some variable coefficient operators of KdV-type in any space dimension. For such a class, as…

In this article we present a new strategy of addressing the (variable coefficient) thin obstacle problem. Our approach is based on a (variable coefficient) Carleman estimate. This yields semi-continuity of the vanishing order, lower and…

In this paper, we derive a local Carleman estimate for the complex second order elliptic operator with Lipschitz coefficients having jump discontinuities. Combing the result in [BL] and the arguments in [DcFLVW], we present an elementary…

Families of regimes for discrete control systems are studied possessing a special quasi-controllability property that is similar to the Kalman controllability property. A new approach is proposed to estimate the amplitudes of transient…

We give a new stability estimate for the problem of determining the time-dependent zero order coefficient in a parabolic equation from a partial parabolic Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. The novelty of our result is that, contrary to the previous…

We prove a Carleman estimate for elliptic second order partial differential operators with Lipschitz continuous coefficients. The Carleman estimate is valid for any complex-valued function $u\in W^{2,2}$ with support in a punctured ball of…

For a symmetric hyperbolic system of the first order, we prove a Carleman estimate under some positivity condition concerning the coefficient matrices. Next, applying the Carleman estimate, we prove an observability $L^2$-estimate for…

This paper is devoted to the study of the null and approximate controllability for some classes of linear coupled parabolic systems with less controls than equations. More precisely, for a given bounded domain in R^N, we consider a system…

The paper deals with homogenization of divergence form second order parabolic operators whose coefficients are periodic in spatial variables and random stationary in time. Under proper mixing assumptions, we study the limit behaviour of the…

This paper provides a semiparametric model of estimating states of the volatility defined as the squared diffusion coefficient of a stochastic differential equation. Without assuming any functional form of the volatility function, we…

We consider systems of parabolic equations coupled in zero order terms in a star-like or a tree-like shape, with an internal control acting in only one of the equations. We obtain local exact controllability to the stationary solutions of…

This paper deals with the controllability for a class of non-autonomous neutral differential equations of fractional order with infinite delay in an abstract space. The semi-group theory of bounded linear operators, fractional calculus, and…

In this paper, we study some controllability and observability properties for a coupled system of time-discrete fourth- and second-order parabolic equations. This system can be regarded as a simplification of the well-known stabilized…

This paper is concerned with approximation of blow-up phenomena in nonlinear parabolic problems. We consider the equation u_t = u_xx +|u|^p -b(x)|u_x|^q in a bounded domain, we study the behavior of the semidiscrete problem. Under some…

We consider the problem of the Bayesian inference of drift and diffusion coefficient functions in a stochastic differential equation given discrete observations of a realisation of its solution. We give conditions for the well-posedness and…

We study solution techniques for parabolic equations with fractional diffusion and Caputo fractional time derivative, the latter being discretized and analyzed in a general Hilbert space setting. The spatial fractional diffusion is realized…

We consider a second-order selfadjoint elliptic operator with an anisotropic diffusion matrix having a jump across a smooth hypersurface. We prove the existence of a weight-function such that a Carleman estimate holds true. We moreover…
