We consider the Kawasaki dynamics at inverse temperature beta for the Ising lattice gas on a two-dimensional square of length 2L+1 with periodic boundary conditions. We assume that initially the parti...
We discuss a general approach to understand phase separation and metastability in stochastic particle systems that exhibit a condensation transition. Condensation occurs when, above some critical dens...
In the last decades the problem of metastability has been attacked on rigorous grounds via many different approaches and techniques which are briefly reviewed in this paper. It is then useful to under...
The definition of vectors of dependent random probability measures is a topic of interest in applications to Bayesian statistics. Indeed, they can be used for identifying the de Finetti mixing measure...
The study of non-equilibrium systems has led to several mathematically rigorous and general results on the statistics of entropy production in non-equilibrium systems. These results are generally know...
We will describe recent results on the doubly parabolic Keller-Segel system in the plane, when the initial data belong to critical scaling-invariant Lebesgue spaces. We analyze the global existence of...
We consider a purely variational approach to time dependent problems, yielding the existence of global parabolic minimizers. These evolutionary variational solutions are obtained as limits of maps dep...
In this talk I shall discuss the rigorous derivation of a quasistatic evolution model for a thin plate in the framework of Prandtl-Reuss plasticity via Gamma-convergence techniques. The limiting model...
The starting point is a paper by L. Boccardo, F. Murat, J.P. Puel, where it is considered the zero Dirichlet boundary value problems associated to nonlinear elliptic equaltions with quadratic dependen...
We study optimal embeddings for the space of functions whose Laplacian belongs to L1(Ω), where Ω⊂RN is a bounded domain. This function space turns out to be strictly larger than the Sobolev space W2,1...
In this talk we are interested in asymptotic behavior of singularly perturbedcontrol system in the non-periodic setting. More precisely, we consider the value function of finite horizon optimal contro...
