Dissolution of Multiple Variable-in-Shape Drug Particles Using the Level-Set Method

The dynamics of variable-in-shape drug particles are fundamental to predict the dissolution of drugs in a fluid. In this talk we propose a new approach which consists of describing the dissolution pro...

Nonlinear elliptic problems with nonlocal interactions

We present a survey of nonlinear elliptic equations with nonlocal interactions. These equations describe the collective behavior of self-interacting many-body systems at different scales, from atoms a...

Fractional multiphase transitions & nonlocal minimal partitions: closed and open questions

I will first present a convergence result for solutions of Allen-Cahn type systems with a multiple-well potential involving the usual fractional Laplacian in the regime of the so-called nonlocal mini...

Supercritical KPZ equations

Like many discrete statistical mechanics models, stochastic PDEs can exhibit a “critical dimension” beyond which their large-scale behaviour is expected to be trivial (i.e. governed by Gaussian fluctu...

An adaptive stochastic Galerkin method for elliptic PDEs

We model the uncertainties in (random) coefficient functions of an elliptic partial differential equation by expanding these coefficients as function series with scalar random coefficients. This gives...

Modelling vehicle and pedestrian dynamics with input-state-output port-Hamiltonian systems

Traffic flow and pedestrian crowds are complex phenomena characterised by different collective dynamics. Inspired by recent work in control engineering by Knorn et al. and Matei et al., we explore the...

The Stepanov theorem for multiple valued functions

The classical Stepanov theorem strengthens the Rademacher theorem by establishing almost-everywhere differentiability for pointwise Lipschitz functions into Euclidean spaces. In this seminar, I will d...

Prescribing curvatures in the disk via conformal change of the metric

In this talk, we present a general existence result to the problem of prescribing curvatures on a disk under conformal changes of the metric. We treat the case of negative Gaussian curvature, as a fir...

Il problema della regolarità delle geodetiche sub-Riemanniane // The regularity problem of sub-Riemannian geodesics.

IT: Presenteremo lo stato dell'arte sul problema della regolarità delle curve minime della lunghezza in varietà sub-Riemanniane, un problema aperto da almeno 40 anni. Il seminario avrà un carattere...

Random Splitting of Fluid Models: Ergodicity, Convergence and Lyapunov exponents

We consider a family of processes obtained by decomposing the deterministic dynamics associated with some fluid models (e.g. Lorenz 96, 2d Galerkin-Navier-Stokes) into fundamental building blocks - i....

A gluing construction of singular solutions for a fully non-linear equation in conformal geometry

We produce complete, non-compact, Riemannian metrics with positive constant \sigma_2-curvature on a sphere of dimension n>4, with a prescribed singular set given by a disjoint union of closed subma...
