On the uniqueness of weak solutions for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations
We discuss the uniqueness of solutions to problems like⎧ λ |u|s-1u - div (|∇u|p-2∇u) = μ on Ω,⎨⎩ u = 0 in ∂Ω,where λ ≥ 0 and μ is a signed Radon measure.
We consider the initial-boundary value problem for first order differential-functional equations. We present the `vanishing viscosity' method in order to obtain viscosity solutions. Our formulation includes problems with a retarded and deviated argument and differential-integral equations.
We study the flow of a compressible, stationary and irrotational fluid with wake, in a channel, around a convex symmetric profile, with assigned velocity q-infinity at infinity and q-s < q-infinity at the wake. In particular, we study the regularity of the free boundary (for a problem which has non-constant coefficients), in the hodograph plane.
We consider the viscous Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard models with an additional term called the nonlinear Willmore regularization. First, we are interested in the well-posedness of these two models. Furthermore, we prove that both models possess a global attractor. In addition, as far as the viscous Allen-Cahn equation is concerned, we construct a robust family of exponential attractors, i.e. attractors which are continuous with respect to the perturbation parameter. Finally, we give some numerical...
Let K be a compact, non-polar set in ℝm, m≥3 and let SKi(t)={Bi(s)+y: 0≤s≤t, y∈K} be Wiener sausages associated to independent brownian motions Bi, i=1, 2, 3 starting at 0. The expectation of volume of ⋂i=13SKi(t) with respect to product measure is obtained in terms of the equilibrium measure of K in the limit of large t.
Two problems arising in Environment are considered. The first one concerns a conjecture posed by von Neumann in 1955 on the possible modification of the albedo in order to control the Earth surface temperature. The second one is related to the approximate controllability of Stackelberg-Nash strategies for some optimization problems as, for instance, the pollution control in a lake. The results of the second part were obtained in collaboration with Jacques-Lois Lions.
