The paper contains the estimates from above of the principal curvatures of the solution to some curvature equations. A correction of the author's previous argument is presented.

We consider a heat equation with a non-linear right-hand side which depends on certain Volterra-type functionals. We study the problem of existence and convergence for the method of lines by means of semi-discrete inverse formulae.

We consider the mixed problem for the hyperbolic partial differential-functional equation of the first order $$D_{x}z(x,y)=f(x,y,z_{(x,y)},D_{y}z(x,y)),$$ where $z_{(x,y)}[-\tau ,0]\times [0,h]\to ℝ$ is a function defined by $z_{(x,y)}(t,s)=z(x+t,y+s)$, $(t,s)\in [-\tau ,0]\times [0,h]$. Using the method of bicharacteristics and the method of successive approximations for a certain integral-functional system we prove, under suitable assumptions, a theorem of the local existence of generalized solutions of this problem.

We consider the mixed problem for the quasilinear partial functional differential equation with unbounded delay $D_{t}z(t,x)={\sum }_{i=1}^n{f}_i(t,x,z_{(t,x)})D_{x_i}z(t,x)+h(t,x,z_{(t,x)})$, where $z_{(t,x)}\in X{̶}_0$ is defined by $z_{(t,x)}(\tau ,s)=z(t+\tau ,x+s)$, $(\tau ,s)\in (-\infty ,0]\times [0,r]$, and the phase space $X{̶}_0$ satisfies suitable axioms. Using the method of bicharacteristics and the fixed-point method we prove a theorem on the local existence and uniqueness of Carathéodory solutions of the mixed problem.

We investigate different asymptotic regimes for Vlasov equations modeling the evolution of a cloud of particles in a turbulent flow. In one case we obtain a convection or a convection-diffusion effective equation on the concentration of particles. In the second case, the effective model relies on a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation.

Several realistic situations in vehicular traffic that give rise to queues can be modeled through conservation laws with boundary and unilateral constraints on the flux. This paper provides a rigorous analytical framework for these descriptions, comprising stability with respect to the initial data, to the boundary inflow and to the constraint. We present a framework to rigorously state optimal management problems and prove the existence of the corresponding optimal controls. Specific cases are...

We consider a body immersed in a perfect gas and moving under the action of a constant force. Body and gas are in thermal equilibrium. We assume a stochastic interaction body/medium: when a particle of the medium hits the body, it is absorbed and immediately re-emitted with a Maxwellian distribution. This system gives rise to a microscopic model of friction. We study the approach of the body velocity V(t) to the limiting velocity $V_{\infty }$ and prove that, under suitable smallness assumptions, the approach...
