Stability for the surface diffusion flow

We study the surface diffusion flow in the flat torus, that is, smooth hypersurfaces moving with the outer normal velocity given by the Laplacian of their mean curvature. This model describes the evol...

Approximation of stable solutions to second order mean field game systems

We introduce a general framework for the study of numerical approximations of a certain class of solutions, called stable solutions, of second order mean-field game systems for which uniqueness of sol...

Swarm-Based Gradient Descent Methods for Non-Convex Optimization

We discuss a novel class of swarm-based gradient descent (SBGD) methods for non-convex optimization. The swarm consists of agents, each is identified with position, x, and mass, m. There are three key...

Dynamics of Hamiltonian PDEs

In this talk I will discuss some results about long time behaviors of solutions to Hamiltonian PDEs (Schrödinger, Kirchhoff, etc). In particular I will focus on a recent result where we (with J. Berni...

Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian and the Bilaplacian in Lipschitz domains

We are interested here in questions related to the maximal regularity of solutions of elliptic problems with Dirichlet boundary condition (see [1]). For the last 40 years, many works have been concern...

Aggregation-Diffusion model for opinion formation on networks

We study a system of nonlocal aggregation cross-diffusion PDEs that describe the evolution of opinion densities on a network. The PDEs are coupled with a system of ODEs that describe the time evolutio...

Regularity for minimizers of the Griffith energy

We discuss regularity for the crack set of a minimizer for the Griffith fracture energy, arising in the variational modeling of brittle materials. In the planar setting, we prove an epsilon-regulari...

Optimal control for orbital transfer of LEO satellites with Low-Thrust engines

The research project, in collaboration with Thales Alenia Space Italia SpA, aims to study, develop and numerically simulate innovative methods for optimizing the orbital transfer of small satellites i...

Some existence results for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on Riemannian manifolds

Over the last few decades, the study of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on \(\mathbb{R}^N\) has been investigated by numerous researchers. However, very few results are known when the domain is non...

The Surface Diffusion Flow: long time behavior and stability

In a recent paper, we study the long--time behavior and the stability of the surface diffusion flow of smooth hypersurfaces in the flat torus \(\mathbb T^n\). According to this flow, smooth hypersurfa...

Inverse problems in 1D fluid-solid interaction modelms in 1D fluid-solid interaction model

In this talk we consider inverse problems for the partial differential equations describing the behavior of certain fluids. Our focus will be on the fluid-structure interaction problem and the object...

Dynamical Low-Rank Approximation for Nonlinear Feedback Control

Effective feedback control is essential for optimizing dynamical systems by minimizing a predefined cost function, thereby stabilizing the system toward a desired state. Despite its proven effectivene...
