Control and identification of unknown PDEs

In this talk we address the control of Partial Differential equations (PDEs) with unknown parameters. Our objective is to devise an efficient algorithm capable of both identifying and controlling the ...

Analog quantum simulation of partial differential equations

Quantum simulators were originally proposed to be helpful for simulating one partial differential equation (PDE) in particular – Schrodinger’s equation. If quantum simulators can be useful for simulat...

Investigating Multi-lane Traffic Flow Models: from Micro to Macro

This talk is devoted to the modeling and stability of multi-lane traffic flow in both microscopic and macroscopic frameworks. Firstly, we explore the dynamics of lane changing in microscopic variables...

Towards simple and affordable solutions for a unified first order hyperbolic model of continuum mechanics

The talk concerns the ongoing development of a non-standard model of continuum mechanics, originally due to Godunov, Peshkov, and Romenski (GPR), and its numerical approximation in Finite Volume and D...

On the CW-structure induced by a Morse-Smale gradient flow

A classic yet delicate fact of Morse theory states that the unstable manifolds of a Morse-Smale gradient-flow on a closed manifold M are the open cells of a CW-decomposition of M. I will describe a se...

Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Methods Beyond the Method of Lines

In the common practice of the method-of-lines (MOL) approach for discretizing a time-dependent partial differential equation (PDE), one first applies spatial discretization to convert the PDE into an ...

Two Dimensional Models of Multi-Lane Traffic Flow with Lane Changing Conditions

The first part of the talk is dedicated to the derivation on an advection-diffusion equation in two dimensions from a system of one dimensional hyperbolic PDEs modeling the macroscopic behavior of mul...

Diffusion and mixing for two-dimensional Hamiltonian flows

We consider general two-dimensional autonomous velocity fields and prove that their mixing and dissipation features are limited to algebraic rates. As an application, we consider a standard cellular f...

Exploring numerical challenges in differential models with fractional derivatives

Fractional derivatives, a widely recognized mathematical tool, have gained considerable attention in recent decades owing to their non-local behavior, particularly suitable for capturing anomalous dif...

On doubly critical elliptic systems

We will consider a type of cooperative nonlinear elliptic system in R^N. The interest of this problem is based on the presence of Sobolev or Sobolev-Hardy critical power nonlinearities and a nonlinear...

On s-Stability of \(W^{s,n/s}\)-minimizing maps between spheres in homotopy classes

We consider maps between spheres \(S^n\) to \(S^\ell\) that minimize the Sobolev-space energy \(W^{s,n/s}\) for some \(s \in (0,1)\) in a given homotopy class. The basic question is: in which homotopy...

A Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Approach to Ellipsoidal Approximations of Reachable Sets

Society's ever-increasing integration of autonomous systems in day-to-day life has simultaneously brought forth concerns as to how their safety and reliability can be verified. To this end, reachable ...
