Plasma Oscillations: analysis of dispersive behavior and acoustic waves

We perform a rigorous analysis of the quasineutral limit for a hydrodynamical models of viscous plasmas represented by the Navier Stokes Poisson system in 3-D. A common feature of this kind of limits ...

Large time behavior for diffusion equations in unbounded domains

The asymptotic decay rate and other qualitative features of solutions to parabolic equations set in noncompact domains of RN, or Riemannian manifolds, depend in general on a suitable notion of the geo...

Geometric problems related to the inhomogeneous infinity Laplace equation

We discuss some recent results related to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the infinity Laplace equation with constant source in a bounded domain. We characterize the geometry of domains for whic...

On the theory of relaxation for variational problems with constraints on the determinant

We consider vectorial variational problems of the form E[u]=∫W(Du)dx, typical for example of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity, which include constraints on the determinant. Specifically, the ener...

On a long range segregation model

Segregation phenomena occurs in many areas of mathematics and science: from equipartition problems in geometry, to social and biological processes (cells, bacteria, ants, mammals) to finance (sellers ...

Asymptotic behaviour of a semilinear elliptic equation

The well-studied power-law-nonlinearity elliptic PDE is known to exhibit a variety of interesting effects, including non-existence, non-uniqueness and concentration phenomena. The application of forma...

Periodic and quasi-periodic solutions in nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems

In 1892 H. Poincaré conjectured that periodic orbits are dense in the phase space of a general (analytic) nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems. I shall discuss a weaker "asymptotic" version of Poinc...

A quantitative theory of stochastic homogenization

The topic of stochastic homogenization of elliptic partial differential equations in divergence form is classical. It is about the homogeneous large-scale behavior of heterogeneous media, like conduct...

Non-topological condensates for the self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs model

We discuss vortex configurations in the abelian self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs model, where topological invariants can just describe a part of the picture. We construct non-topological condensates (=dou...

Endpoint regularity of 2-d Mumford-Shah minimizers

We discuss an epsilon-regularity result at the endpoint of connected arcs for 2-dimensional Mumford-Shah minimizers obtained in a joint work with C. De Lellis (U. Zuerich). As an outcome of our analys...
