We consider the initial-boundary value problem of a system of reaction-diffusion equations with density-dependent motility \begin{equation*}\label{e1}\tag{$\ast$} \begin{cases} u_t=\Delta(\gamma(v)u)+\alpha u F(w) -\theta u, &x\in \Omega,…

We study the well-posedness of a class of nonlocal-interaction equations on general domains $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, including nonconvex ones. We show that under mild assumptions on the regularity of domains (uniform prox-regularity),…

Consider the semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$ in the unit ball $B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, with Dirichlet data $u|_{\partial B_1}=0$, where $\lambda\geq 0$ is a real parameter and $f$ is a $C^1$ positive, nondecreasing…

We analyse the Virtual Element Methods (VEM) on a simple elliptic model problem, allowing for more general meshes than the one typically considered in the VEM literature. For instance, meshes with arbitrarily small edges (with respect to…

Motivated by mechanical problems where external forces are non-smooth, we consider the differential inclusion problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u(x)\in \partial F(u(x))+\lambda \partial G(u(x))\ \mbox{in}\ \Omega \newline u\geq 0\ \mbox{in}\…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new condition \[ \hbox{(C)$\hspace{1cm} \alpha \int_{0}^{u}f(s)ds \leq uf(u)+\beta u^{2}+\gamma,\,\,u>0$} \] for some $\alpha, \beta, \gamma>0$ with…

We investigate a class of Kirchhoff type equations involving a combination of linear and superlinear terms as follows: \begin{equation*} -\left( a\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|\nabla u|^{2}dx+1\right) \Delta u+\mu V(x)u=\lambda…

We consider the semilinear heat equation \begin{equation}\label{problemAbstract}\left\{\begin{array}{ll}v_t-\Delta v= |v|^{p-1}v & \mbox{in}\Omega\times (0,T)\\ v=0 & \mbox{on}\partial \Omega\times (0,T)\\ v(0)=v_0 & \mbox{in}\Omega…

We study the stability of explicit one-step integration schemes for the linear finite element approximation of linear parabolic equations. The derived bound on the largest permissible time step is tight for any mesh and any diffusion matrix…

An initial-boundary value problem for \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_{tt} = \big(\gamma(\Theta) u_{xt}\big)_x + au_{xx} - \big(f(\Theta)\big)_x, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \ t>0, \\[1mm] \Theta_t = \Theta_{xx} + \gamma(\Theta) u_{xt}^2 -…

We construct an exactly solvable circuit of interacting memristors and study its dynamics and fixed points. This simple circuit model interpolates between decoupled circuits of isolated memristors, and memristors in series, for which exact…

A moving boundary problem with two free boundaries modeling a two-dimensional idealized MEMS device with pull-in instability is discussed. We use a fixed point argument to show that the model possesses stationary solutions for small source…

We study a class of boundary value problems with $\varphi$-Laplacian (e.g., the prescribed mean curvature equation, in which $\varphi(s)=\frac{s}{\sqrt{1+s^2}}$) \begin{center} $-\left(\varphi(u')\right)'=\lambda f(u)\; \text{ on }(-L,…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded smooth domain in $\RR^N$. We consider the problem $u_t= \Delta u + V(x) u^p$ in $\Omega \times [0,T)$, with Dirichlet boundary conditions $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega \times [0,T)$ and initial datum $u(x,0)= M \phi…

We study positive solutions to the steady state reaction diffusion systems of the form: \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = \lambda f(v)+\mu h(u), & \Omega,\\ -\Delta v = \lambda g(u)+\mu q(v),& \Omega,\\ \frac{\partial…

We consider $u(x,t)$, a solution of $\partial_tu = \Delta u + |u|^{p-1}u$ which blows up at some time $T > 0$, where $u:\mathbb{R}^N \times[0,T) \to \mathbb{R}$, $p > 1$ and $(N-2)p < N+2$. Define $S \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ to be the blow-up…

The dynamics of the electrons for a molecule in solution is coupled to the dynamics of its polarizable environment, i.e., the solvent. To theoretically investigate such electronic dynamics, we have recently developed equations of motion…

We develop a theory connecting the following three areas: (a) the mean field equation (MFE) $\triangle u + e^u = \rho\, \delta_0$, $\rho \in \mathbb R_{>0}$ on flat tori $E_\tau = \mathbb C/(\mathbb Z + \mathbb Z\tau)$, (b) the classical…

We study the positive solutions of the Lane-Emden equation $-\Delta_{p}u=\lambda_{p}|u|^{q-2}u$ in $\Omega$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$ is a bounded and smooth domain, $N\geq2,$…

Continuum solvation methods can provide an accurate and inexpensive embedding of quantum simulations in liquid or complex dielectric environments. Notwithstanding a long history and manifold applications to isolated systems in open boundary…
