Continuum limits of particles interacting via diffusion
We consider a two‐phase system mainly in three dimensions and we examine the coarsening of the spatial distribution, driven by the reduction of interface energy and limited by diffusion as described by the quasistatic Stefan free boundary problem. Under the appropriate scaling we pass rigorously to the limit by taking into account the motion of the ...

Asymptotic solutions of diffusion models for risk reserves
We study a family of diffusion models for risk reserves which account for the investment income earned and for the inflation experienced on claim amounts. After we defined the process of the conditional probability of ruin over finite time and imposed the appropriate boundary conditions, classical results from the theory of diffusion processes turn the

An Unusual Moving Boundary Condition Arising in Anomalous Diffusion Problems [PDF]
In the context of analyzing a new model for nonlinear diffusion in polymers, an unusual condition appears at the moving interface between the glassy and rubbery phases of the polymer.

Choquard-type equations with Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev upper-critical growth
We are concerned with the existence of ground states and qualitative properties of solutions for a class of nonlocal Schrödinger equations. We consider the case in which the nonlinearity exhibits critical growth in the sense of the Hardy–Littlewood ...

Boundary layer analysis for a 2-D Keller-Segel model
We study the boundary layer problem of a Keller-Segel model in a domain of two space dimensions with vanishing chemical diffusion coefficient. By using the method of matched asymptotic expansions of singular perturbation theory, we construct an accurate ...

Derivation of the bacterial run-and-tumble kinetic equation from a model with biochemical pathway [PDF]
Kinetic-transport equations are, by now, standard models to describe the dynamics of populations of bacteria moving by run-and-tumble. Experimental observations show that bacteria increase their run duration when encountering an increasing gradient of ...

Oscillatory and periodic solutions to a diffusion equation of neutral type
We examine a PDE with piecewise constant time delay. The equation is of neutral type since it contains the derivative ut at different values of the t‐argument. Furthermore, the argument deviation changes its sign within intervals of unit length, so that the given PDE is alternately of retarded and advanced type.

Bubble concentration on spheres for supercritical elliptic problems [PDF]
We consider the supercritical Lane-Emden problem $$(P_\eps)\qquad -\Delta v= |v|^{p_\eps-1} v \ \hbox{in}\ \mathcal{A} ,\quad u=0\ \hbox{on}\ \partial\mathcal{A} $$ where $\mathcal A$ is an annulus in $\rr^{2m},$ $m\ge2$ and $p_\eps={(m+1)+2\over(m+1)

Singularly perturbed telegraph equations with applications in the random walk theory
In the paper we analyze singularly perturbed telegraph systems applying the newly developed compressed asymptotic method and show that the diffusion equation is an asymptotic limit of singularly perturbed telegraph system of equations. The results are applied to the random walk theory for which the relationship between correlated and uncorrelated ...

Derivation of a Hele-Shaw type system from a cell model with active motion [PDF]
We formulate a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem for a tumor growing under the combined effects of pressure forces, cell multiplication and active motion, the latter being the novelty of the present paper.
