Rupture is a nonlinear instability resulting in a finite-time singularity as a fluid layer approaches zero thickness at a point. We study the dynamics of rupture in a generalized mathematical model of thin films of viscous fluids with…

We present a spectrally accurate embedded boundary method for solving linear, inhomogeneous, elliptic partial differential equations (PDE) in general smooth geometries, focusing in this manuscript on the Poisson, modified Helmholtz, and…

Compression-induced buckling instability of metal thin films on a compliant base result in surface wrinkles. A stiff thin film, perfectly bonded to an infinitely deep pre-stretched dielectric elastomer (DE) substrate, is considered. Linear…

We present a contribution to the field of system identification of partial differential equations (PDEs), with emphasis on discerning between competing mathematical models of pattern-forming physics. The motivation comes from developmental…

Fourth-order accurate compact schemes for variable coefficient convection diffusion equations are considered. A sufficient condition for the stability of the fully discrete problem is derived using a difference equation based approach. The…

The conductance of thin films with diffusive surface scattering was solved semi-classically by Fuchs and Sondheimer. However, when the intrinsic electron mean free path is very large or infinite their conductance diverges. In this letter a…

Dimension-reduction homogenization results for thin films have been obtained under hypotheses of periodicity or almost-periodicity of the energies in the directions of the mid-plane of the film. In this note we consider thin films, obtained…

We study the behavior of very thin liquid films wetting homogeneous planar and spherical substrates. In order to describe a simple fluid at very small scales, we employ a classical density functional theory (DFT). Here, we model a fluid…

We prove the existence of a solution to an equation governing the number density within a compact domain of a discrete particle system for a prescribed class of particle interactions taking into account the effects of the diffusion and…

We introduce novel finite element schemes for curve diffusion and elastic flow in arbitrary codimension. The schemes are based on a variational form of a system that includes a specifically chosen tangential motion. We derive optimal $L^2$-…

Partial differential equation (PDE) models are widely used in engineering and natural sciences to describe spatio-temporal processes. The parameters of the considered processes are often unknown and have to be estimated from experimental…

Efficient and stable solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) is central to scientific and engineering applications, yet existing numerical solvers rely heavily on matrix based discretizations, while learning based methods require…

In this paper we study the inverse problem of identifying the diffusion matrix in an elliptic PDE from measurements. The convex energy functional method with Tikhonov regularization is applied to tackle this problem. For the discretization…

In this paper we tackle the problem of surfactant spreading on a thin liquid film in the framework of isogeometric analysis. We consider a mathematical model that describes this phenomenon as an initial boundary value problem (IBVP) that…

This paper introduces a novel partial differential equation (PDE) framework for single-image dehazing. We embed the atmospheric scattering model into a PDE featuring edge-preserving diffusion and a nonlocal operator to maintain both local…

We consider the problem of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in domains with complex microparticle geometry that is impractical, or intractable, to model explicitly. Drawing inspiration from volume rendering, we propose tackling…

A discrete-to-continuum analysis for free-boundary problems related to crystalline films deposited on substrates is performed by $\Gamma$-convergence. The discrete model here introduced is characterized by an energy with two contributions,…

We consider a two-dimensional motion of a thin film flowing down an inclined plane under the influence of the gravity and the surface tension. In order to investigate the stability of such flow, it is hard to treat the Navier--Stokes…

We study steady-state thin films on a chemically heterogeneous substrates of finite size, subject to no-flux boundary conditions. Based on the structure of the bifurcation diagram, we classify the one-dimensional steady-state solutions that…

A characterization of a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is given in terms of an infinite-dimensional dynamical system. The dynamical system is on the space of boundary data for…
