Various degenerate diffusion equations exhibit a waiting time phenomenon: Dependening on the "flatness" of the compactly supported initial datum at the boundary of the support, the support of the solution may not expand for a certain amount…
We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a class of nonlocal thin film equations governed by the spectral fractional Laplacian with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We were the first to establish an $\alpha$-entropy…
In this paper, we discuss existence and finite speed of propagation for the solutions to an initial-boundary value problem for a family of fractional thin-film equations in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The nonlocal operator we…
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with soft potentials, including the case of Coulomb interactions. First, we establish the existence of solutions for a short time, assuming the initial data is in a fourth-order…
We show that a double degenerate thin film equation, which originated from modeling of viscous coating flow on a spherical surface, has finite speed of propagation for nonnegative strong solutions and hence there exists an interface or free…
In this paper, we investigate a multi-dimensional nonlocal degenerate diffusion-aggregation equation with a diffusion exponent $m$ in the intermediate range $\frac{2d}{2d-\gamma}<m<\frac{d+\gamma}{d}$, where the nonlocal aggregation term is…
We are concerned with a class of degenerate diffusion equations with time delay describing population dynamics with age structure. In our recent study [{\em Nonlinearity}, 33 (2020), 4013--4029], we established the existence and uniqueness…
We consider the thin-film equation for a class of free boundary conditions modelling friction at the contact line, as introduced by E and Ren. Our analysis focuses on formal long-time asymptotics of solutions in the perfect wetting regime.…
We consider a Fisher-KPP equation with density-dependent diffusion and advection, arising from a chemotaxis-growth model. We study its behavior as a small parameter, related to the thickness of a diffuse interface, tends to zero. We…
Incorporating free boundary into time-delayed reaction-diffusion equations yields a compatible condition that guarantees the well-posedness of the initial value problem. With the KPP type nonlinearity we then establish a vanishing-spreading…
This short paper concerns a diffusive logistic equation with the heterogeneous environment and a free boundary, which is formulated to study the spread of an invasive species, where the free boundary represents the expanding front. A…
In this paper, we proceed to study the nonlocal diffusion problem proposed by Li and Wang [8], where the left boundary is fixed, while the right boundary is a nonlocal free boundary. We first give some accurate estimates on the longtime…
For the classical reaction diffusion equation, the priori speed of fronts is determined exactly in the pioneering paper (R.D. Benguria and M.C. Depassier, {\em Commun. Math. Phys.} 175:221--227, 1996) by variational characterization method.…
Time-dependent models of fluid motion in thin layers, subject to signed source terms, represent important sub-problems within climate dynamics. Examples include ice sheets, sea ice, and even shallow oceans and lakes. We address these…
A general solution to the "shutter" problem is presented. The propagation of an arbitrary initially bounded wavefunction is investigated, and the general solution for any such function is formulated. It is shown that the exact solution can…
We consider a degenerate abstract wave equation with a time-dependent propagation speed. We investigate the influence of a strong dissipation, namely a friction term that depends on a power of the elastic operator. We discover a threshold…
We study a class of free boundary problems of ecological models with nonlocal and local diffusions, which are natural extensions of free boundary problems of reaction diffusion systems in there local diffusions are used to describe the…
Front propagation described by Huygens' principle is a fundamental mechanism of spatial spreading of a property or an effect, occurring in optics, acoustics, ecology and combustion. If the local front speed varies randomly due to…
Finite speed of propagation is established for non-negative weak solutions to a thin film approximation of the two-phase Muskat problem. The temporal expansion rate of the support matches the scale invariance of the system. Moreover, we…
We introduce a notion of viscosity solutions for a nonlinear degenerate diffusion equation with a drift potential. We show that our notion of solutions coincide with the weak solutions defined via integration by parts. As an application of…
