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…

We consider the heat equation defined by a generalized measure theoretic Laplacian on $[0,1]$. This equation describes heat diffusion in a bar such that the mass distribution of the bar is given by a non-atomic Borel probabiliy measure…

In this paper we consider the initial-boundary value problem to the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations for idea gases. Both the viscous and heat conductive coefficients are assumed to be positive constants, and the initial…

The phonon thermal conductivity of semiconducting periodic solids can be obtained using the lattice dynamics calculations along with the Boltzmann transport equation and with input from density functional theory calculations. These…

We prove logarithmic stability in the parabolic inverse problem of determining the space-varying factor in the source, by a single partial boundary measurement of the solution to the heat equation in an infinite closed waveguide, with…

We introduce the transportation-annihilation distance $W_p^\sharp$ between subprobabilities and derive contraction estimates with respect to this distance for the heat flow with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on an open set in a…

We construct a smooth, strictly positive, Gaussian-decaying density on $\mathbb{R}^2$ for which Fisher information along the heat flow is not log-convex. This disproves the Cheng--Geng log-convexity conjecture in dimension two and, by…

Extending a result of Caffarelli, we provide global Lipschitz changes of variables between compactly supported perturbations of log-concave measures. The result is based on a combination of ideas from optimal transportation theory and a new…

In this paper, we study the Lipschitz continuous dependence of conservative H\"older continuous weak solutions to a variational wave system derived from a model for nematic liquid crystals. Since the solution of this system generally forms…

We are interested in the gradient flow of a general first order convex functional with respect to the $L^1$-topology. By means of an implicit minimization scheme, we show existence of a global limit solution, which satisfies an…

This second version of the manuscript includes, in the appendices, an erratum that points out an error on the published version and offers alternative results for the Lipschitz stability analysis of the backward heat propagation problem and…

The Swift--Hohenberg equation is a widely studied fourth-order model, originally proposed to describe hydrodynamic fluctuations. It admits an energy-dissipation law and, under suitable assumptions, bounded solutions. Many…

In this paper, we establish Li-Yau-type and Hamilton-type estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation associated with the generalized Ricci flow, under a less stringent curvature condition. Compared with [25] and [35], these…

We introduce a heat flow associated to half-harmonic maps, which have been introduced by Da Lio and Rivi\`ere. Those maps exhibit integrability by compensation in one space dimension and are related to harmonic maps with free boundary. We…

We examine the Navier-Stokes equations with homogeneous slip boundary conditions coupled with the heat equation with homogeneous Neumann conditions in a bounded domain in $R^3$. The considered domain is a cylinder with $x_3$-axis. The aim…

We determine unsteady flow perturbations that are optimal for enhancing the rate of heat transfer between hot and cold walls (i.e. the Nusselt number Nu), under the constraint of fixed flow power (Pe$^2$, where Pe is the P\'{e}clet number).…

We prove that the initial-value problem for the fractional heat equation admits a solution provided that the (possibly unbounded) initial datum has a conveniently moderate growth at infinity. Under the same growth condition we also prove…

Inspired by the construction of the F{\"o}llmer process, we construct a unit-time flow on the Euclidean space, termed the F{\"o}llmer flow, whose flow map at time 1 pushes forward a standard Gaussian measure onto a general target measure.…

In this paper, we prove transportation inequalities on the space of continuous paths with respect to the uniform metric, for the law of solution to a stochastic heat equation defined on $[0,T]\times [0,1]^d$. This equation is driven by the…

We develop connections between Harnack inequalities for the heat flow of diffusion operators with curvature bounded from below and optimal transportation. Through heat kernel inequalities, a new isoperimetric-type Harnack inequality is…
