In this paper we study a gradient flow approach to the problem of quantization of measures in one dimension. By embedding our problem in $L^2$, we find a continuous version of it that corresponds to the limit as the number of particles…

We consider the strong and weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of the inhomogeneous incompressible nematic liquid crystal equations in two dimensions. We first establish the local existence and uniqueness of strong solutions by using the…

We study the extinction behavior of solutions to the fast diffusion equation $u_t = \Delta u^m$ on $\R^N\times (0,T)$, in the range of exponents $m \in (0, \frac{N-2}{N})$, $N > 2$. We show that if the initial data $u_0$ is trapped in…

We perform a convergence analysis of a discrete-in-time minimization scheme approximating a finite dimensional singularly perturbed gradient flow. We allow for different scalings between the viscosity parameter $\varepsilon$ and the time…

Motivated by a model proposed by Peng et al. [Advances in Coll. and Interf. Sci. 206 (2014)] for break-up of tear films on human eyes, we study the dynamics of a generalized thin film model. The governing equations form a fourth-order…

We investigate compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in three-dimensional (3D) bounded domains with slip boundary condition for velocity and Neumann boundary condition for orientation field. By applying piecewise-estimate method and…

Starting from a nonlinear 2D/1D fluid-structure interaction problem between a thin layer of a viscous fluid and a thin elastic structure, on the vanishing limit of the relative fluid thickness, we rigorously derive a sixth-order thin-film…

The inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with fractional Laplacian dissipations in the multi-dimensional whole space are considered. The existence and uniqueness of global strong solution with vacuum are established for…

We study the initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear wave equation given by u_{tt}-u_{xx}+\int_{0}^{t}k(t-s)u_{xx}(s)ds+ u_{t}^{q-2}u_{t}=f(x,t,u) , 0 < x < 1, 0 < t < T, u_{x}(0,t)=u(0,t), u_{x}(1,t)+\eta u(1,t)=g(t),…

In this paper we study the singular vanishing-viscosity limit of a gradient flow in a finite dimensional Hilbert space, focusing on the so-called delayed loss of stability of stationary solutions. We find a class of time-dependent energy…

Before proving (unconditional) energy stability for gradient flows, most existing studies either require a strong Lipschitz condition regarding the non-linearity or certain $L^{\infty}$ bounds on the numerical solutions (the maximum…

We study the long-time behaviour of solutions to quasilinear doubly degenerate parabolic problems of fourth order. The equations model for instance the dynamic behaviour of a non-Newtonian thin-film flow on a flat impermeable bottom and…

We consider the thin-film equation $\partial_t h + \nabla \cdot \left(h^2 \nabla \Delta h\right) = 0$ in physical space dimensions (i.e., one dimension in time $t$ and two lateral dimensions with $h$ denoting the height of the film in the…

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and optimal rates of strong solutions for three-dimensional compressible viscoelastic flows. We prove the global existence of the strong solutions by the standard energy method under…

We consider stochastic non-linear diffusion equations with a highly singular diffusivity term and multiplicative gradient-type noise. We study existence and uniqueness of non-negative variational solutions in terms of stochastic variational…

A fully discrete Lagrangian scheme for solving a family of fourth order equations numerically is presented. The discretization is based on the equation's underlying gradient flow structure w.r.t. the $L^2$-Wasserstein distance, and adapts…

We prove the existence of weak solutions to a system of two diffusion equations that are coupled by a pointwise volume constraint. The time evolution is given by gradient dynamics for a free energy functional. Our primary example is a model…

For any bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^3$, we establish the global existence of a weak solution $u:\Omega\times (0,+\infty)\to\mathbb R^3\times\mathbb S^2$ of the initial-boundary value (or the Cauchy) problem of the…

In this note we establish exponentially fast smooth convergence for global curve diffusion flows, and discuss open problems relating embeddedness to global existence (Giga's conjecture) and the shape of Type I singularities (Chou's…

In this paper we give a description of the asymptotic behavior, as $\epsilon\to 0$, of the $\epsilon$-gradient flow in the finite dimensional case. Under very general assumptions we prove that it converges to an evolution obtained by…
