We prove a differential Harnack inequality for the solution of the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation $ \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}=\triangle f-(f^3-f)$ on a closed n-dimensional manifold. As a corollary we find a classical Harnack inequality.…

We give a new example of a measure-valued process without a density, which arises from a stochastic partial differential equation with a multiplicative noise term. This process has some unusual properties. We work with the heat equation…

Second-order two-scale expansions, a unified proof for the regularity of the correctors based on the translation invariant and a lemma for extracting $O(\epsilon)$ from the remainder term are presented for the second order nonlinear…

We study the boundary behavior of non-negative solutions to a class of degenerate/singular parabolic equations, whose prototype is the parabolic $p$-Laplacian. Assuming that such solutions continuously vanish on some distinguished part of…

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold with a family of Riemannian metrics $g_{ij}(t)$ evolving by geometric flow $\partial_{t}g_{ij} = -2{S}_{ij}$, where $S_{ij}(t)$ is a family of smooth symmetric two-tensors on $M$. In this paper we…

In this paper we study the fundamental solution $\varGamma(t,x;\tau,\xi)$ of the parabolic operator $L_{t}=\partial_{t}-\Delta+b(t,x)\cdot\nabla$, where for every $t$, $b(t,\cdot)$ is a divergence-free vector field, and we consider the case…

We prove surface and volume mean value formulas for classical solutions to uniformly parabolic equations in divergence form. We then use them to prove the parabolic strong maximum principle and the parabolic Harnack inequality. We emphasize…

The divergence theorem of Gauss plays a central role in the derivation of the governing differential equations in fluid dynamics, electrodynamics, gravitational fields, and optics. One is often interested in an evolution equation for the…

The analyses of interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods of any order k for solving elliptic and parabolic problems with Dirac line sources are presented. For the steady state case, we prove convergence of the method by deriving a…

Investigating for interior regularity of viscosity solutions to the fully nonlinear elliptic equation $$F(x,u,\triangledown u,\triangledown ^2 u)=0,$$ we establish the interior $C^{1+1}$ continuity under the assumptions that $F$ is…

Backward parabolic equations, such as the backward heat equation, are classical examples of ill-posed problems where solutions may not exist or depend continuously on the data. In this work, we study a least squares finite element method to…

We prove a Harnack inequality for positive solutions of a parabolic equation with slow anisotropic spatial diffusion. After identifying its natural scalings, we reduce the problem to a Fokker-Planck equation and construct a self-similar…

Two-sided Gaussian bounds are established for the weighted heat kernels on the unit ball and simplex in $\mathbb{R}^d$ generated by classical differential operators whose eigenfunctions are algebraic polynomials.

We study a priori estimates for a class of non-negative local weak solution to the weighted fast diffusion equation $u_t = |x|^{\gamma} \nabla\cdot (|x|^{-\beta} \nabla u^m)$, with $0 < m <1$ posed on cylinders of $(0,T)\times{\mathbb…

This work is concerned with the accuracy of Gaussian beam superpositions, which are asymptotically valid high frequency solutions to linear hyperbolic partial differential equations and the Schr\"odinger equation. We derive Sobolev and max…

In recent work, we used pseudo-differential theory to establish conditions that the initial-boundary value problem for second order systems of wave equations be strongly well-posed in a generalized sense. The applications included the…

In this work, we consider the inverse problem of simultaneously recovering two classes of quasilinear terms appearing in a parabolic equation from boundary measurements. It is motivated by several industrial and scientific applications,…

We construct Green's functions for divergence form, second order parabolic systems in non-smooth time-varying domains whose boundaries are locally represented as graph of functions that are Lipschitz continuous in the spatial variables and…

We study the elliptic version of doubly nonlinear diffusion equations on a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. Through the combination of a special nonlinear transformation and the standard Nash-Moser iteration procedure, some Cheng-Yau…

The averaging principle is established for the slow component and the fast component being two dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations and stochastic reaction-diffusion equations, respectively. The classical Khasminskii approach…
