In this paper, we establish a result for existence and uniqueness of stochastic differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, for regular inhomogeneous tensor coefficients with stochastic drift, under geometrical hypothesis on the…

The harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of…

In this work we investigate the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of generalized incompressible and homogeneous viscous fluids. The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the…

We prove the global-in-time existence of nonnegative weak solutions to a class of fourth order partial differential equations on a convex bounded domain in arbitrary spatial dimensions. Our proof relies on the formal gradient flow structure…

In this paper, we establish the uniqueness of heat flow of harmonic maps into (N, h) that have sufficiently small renormalized energies, provided that N is either a unit sphere $S^{k-1}$ or a compact Riemannian homogeneous manifold without…

We consider an abstract functional-differential equation derived from the pressure-less Euler system with variable coefficients that includes several systems of partial differential equations arising in the fluid mechanics. Using the method…

For a homotopy class $[u]$ of maps between a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ and a general manifold $N$, we want to find a Dirac-harmonic map with the map component in the given homotopy class. Most known results require the index to be…

An extension of the algebraic-geometric method for nonlinear integrable PDE's is shown to lead to new piecewise smooth weak solutions of a class of $N$-component systems of nonlinear evolution equations. This class includes, among others,…

We consider a nematic liquid crystal flow with partially free boundary in a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove regularity estimates and the global existence of weak solutions enjoying partial regularity properties, and a…

In this paper, we propose a new numerical scheme for a spatially discrete model of constrained total variation flows, which are total variation flows whose values are constrained in a Riemannian manifold. The difficulty of this problem is…

Let $B_1$ be the unit open disk in $\Real^2$ and $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold. In this note, we first prove the uniqueness for weak solutions of the harmonic map heat flow in $H^1([0,T]\times B_1,M)$ whose energy is non-increasing in…

Our goal in this paper is to prove the global existence of a classical solution for the isentropic nozzle flow. Regarding this problem, there exist some global existence theorems of weak solutions. However, that of classical solutions does…

Motivated by the rich theory of harmonic maps from a 2-sphere, we study biharmonic maps from a 2-sphere in this paper. We first derive biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally symmetric 2-manifolds. We then…

In this paper we establish the equivalence of solutions between Schr\"odinger map into $\mathbb{S}^2$ or $ \mathbb{H}^2$ and their associated gauge invariant Schr\"odinger equations. We also establish the existence of global weak solutions…

In this note, by constructing suitable approximate solutions, we prove the existence of global weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$,…

We consider maps between Riemannian manifolds in which the map is a stationary point of the nonlinear Hodge energy. The variational equations of this functional form a quasilinear, nondiagonal, nonuniformly elliptic system which models…

We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…

Using a flow first introduced by J.P. Anderson, we obtain some existence theorems for harmonic maps from a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold into a complete Riemannian manifold. In particular, we prove as a corollary a recent result…

Conformal harmonic maps from a 4-dimensional conformal manifold to a Riemannian manifold are maps satisfying a certain conformally invariant fourth order equation. We prove a general existence result for conformal harmonic maps, analogous…

We propose a geometrical approach to the investigation of Hamiltonian systems on (Pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. A new geometrical criterion of instability and chaos is proposed. This approach is more generic than well known reduction to the…
