Second-order sufficient conditions in the sparse optimal control of a phase field tumor growth model with logarithmic potential [PDF]
This paper treats a distributed optimal control problem for a tumor growth model of viscous Cahn--Hilliard type. The evolution of the tumor fraction is governed by a thermodynamic force induced by a double-well potential of logarithmic type.

Convergence rate for the incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion–advection equations [PDF]
The incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion equations of porous medium type has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, due to its ability to link the weak formulation of cell-population models to free boundary problems of Hele-Shaw type ...

Existence of Solutions to the Poisson-Nernst-Planck System with Singular Permanent Charges in $\mathbb{R}^2$ [PDF]
In this paper, we study the well-posedness of Poisson–Nernst–Planck system with no-flux boundary condition and singular permanent charges in two dimension. The main difficulty comes from the lack of integrability of singular permanent charges.

Quantitative Estimates of the Threshold Phenomena for Propagation in Reaction-Diffusion Equations [PDF]
We focus on the (sharp) threshold phenomena arising in some reaction-diffusion equations supplemented with some compactly supported initial data. In the so-called ignition and bistable cases, we prove the first sharp quantitative estimate on the (sharp ...

Port-Hamiltonian model of two-dimensional shallow water equations in moving containers
The free surface motion in moving containers is an important physical phenomenon for many engineering applications. One way to model the free surface motion is by employing shallow water equations (SWEs).

Advantage and Disadvantage of Dispersal in Two-Species Competition Models
We consider a two-species competition model in which both populations are identical except their movement strategies: One species moves upward along the fitness gradient, while the other does not diffuse.

Front propagation in a double degenerate equation with delay
The current article is concerned with the traveling fronts for a class of double degenerate equations with delay. We first show that the traveling fronts decay algebraically at one end, while those may decay exponentially or algebraically at the other ...

On the geometric diversity of wavefronts for the scalar Kolmogorov ecological equation [PDF]
In this work, we answer three fundamental questions concerning monostable travelling fronts for the scalar Kolmogorov ecological equation with diffusion and spatiotemporal interaction: these are the questions about their existence, uniqueness and geometric shape.

On a class of nonlinear reaction‐diffusion systems with nonlocal boundary conditions
We prove the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of a generalized solution of a nonlinear reaction‐diffusion system with only integral terms in the boundaries. We first solve a particular case of the problem by using the energy‐integral method. Next, via an iteration procedure, we derive the obtained results to study the solvability of the

On controllability, parametrization, and output tracking of a linearized bioreactor model
The paper deals with a distributed parameter system related to the so‐called fixed‐bed bioreactor. The original nonlinear partial differential system is linearized around the steady state. We find that the linearized system is not exactly controllable but it is approximatively controllable when certain algebraic equations hold.
