We investigate the spectral stability of small-amplitude, periodic, traveling-wave solutions of the modified Camassa-Holm equation with cubic nonlinearities. More precisely, we analyze the $L^2(\mr)$-spectrum of the associated linearized operator in a neighborhood of the origin in the spectral plane. Inspired by a recently novel method based on Kato's perturbation theory [Berti et al, Full description of Benjamin-Feir instability of Stokes waves in deep water, \textit{Invent. Math.}, 230 (2022), 651-711.], we provide a complete description of the spectrum near the origin of the linearized operator--an integro-differential operator with periodic coefficients--and thus prove that such waves are not subject to modulational instability. Moreover, a spectral analysis reveals a remarkable threshold phenomenon: such waves with wave number $k^2\leq 3$ exhibit spectral stability, while instability emerges when $k^2>3$.

This work concerns regularity properties of weak solutions to elliptic equations in divergence form -div(a$\nabla$u) = div F , under low regularity assumptions on both the coefficient a and the source term F . We introduce generalized Morrey and Campanato spaces extending the classical definitions by replacing uniform boundedness requirements with suitable integrability conditions. Within this framework, we establish regularity estimates for the gradient of weak solutions in these generalized spaces. As applications, we recover classical H{ö}lder and Lebesgue estimates and derive fractional Sobolev regularity results. In particular, the proposed approach yields fractional Sobolev estimates in situations where the coefficient may be discontinuous and the gradient of the solution is not expected to be locally bounded.

In this paper, we study a class of quasilinear elliptic problems involving the $(1,q)-$Laplacian operator and a discontinuous superlinear nonlinearity governed by the Heaviside function. The main difficulty of the problem arises from the presence of the $1$-Laplacian operator, whose natural setting is the Space of Functions of Bounded Variation. Our approach is based on an approximation method involving $(p,q)-$Laplacian problems as $p\to1^+$. As a consequence, we prove the existence of a nontrivial and nonnegative solution belonging to $W^{1,p}_0(Ω)$, in an appropriate weak sense. Moreover, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as $β\to0^+$, showing that the family of solutions converges to a solution of the limit problem without discontinuity.

In this paper, we establish local existence of strong solutions for the three-dimensional inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with initial data $(ρ_0,u_0)$ lying in $C^1 \times (L^2 \cap VMO^{-1})$, where $ρ_0$ has a positive lower bound. Furthermore, if $ρ_0 \in C^2$ and $||ρ_0-1||_{L^\infty}+||u_0||_{BMO^{-1}}$ is sufficiently small, we prove global existence of the solution. To achieve this, we employ an estimate for the transport equation to obtain regularity for the density and apply a new freezing-coefficient method for the momentum equation.

This paper explores the relationship between weak and viscosity solutions to a nonhomogeneous mixed local and non-local $p$-Laplace equation in a bounded Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Under certain conditions, we derive the comparison principle for weak subsolutions and weak supersolutions to the problem. For $1<p<\infty$, we establish that continuous weak supersolutions to the problem are viscosity supersolutions, using the comparison principle. Furthermore, we show that bounded viscosity supersolutions are weak supersolutions for $p \geq 2$.

We employ the vector field method to establish a Liouville-type theorem for a class of \((p,q)\)-Laplace equations in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^n\). By modifying the exponents in the differential identity, we prove nonexistence in the subcritical range \(p-1<α<q^*-1\), where \(q^*=nq/(n-q)\). The approach relies on constructing a suitable differential identity, carrying out precise integral estimates with cutoff functions, and combining sign control and decay of the cutoff errors.

In this paper, we investigate the orbital stability of vortex patches for the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in both a class of domains that satisfy the ``weak finite volume condition" and a strip of arbitrary width. We establish that for suitable parameters $(μ,λ)$, the penalized kinetic energy functional admits a minimizer, and that every such minimizer satisfies the elliptic equation $ω= λ(ψ- W x_2 - γ)_+$. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the set of minimizers is orbitally stable under the Eulerian dynamics. This work extends the variational framework developed by Abe and Choi to domains that lack both spatial scaling invariance and horizontal translation invariance. The absence of these properties introduces substantial difficulties in the proof, as classical rearrangement and scaling arguments are no longer applicable. We overcome these obstacles by comparing the Green's function with that of the half-plane and exploiting the decay condition to formulate a concentration-compactness argument that ultimately yields the desired stability result.

In this paper, we consider the classical overdetermined capillary problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \mathrm{div} \left(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}}\right) - bu =0 &~~\mbox{in}~~ Ω, \partial_ν u=κ&~~\mbox{on}~~\partialΩ, u=c &~~\mbox{on}~~\partialΩ, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $b$, $c$ and $κ$ are positive constants, and $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^2$. When $Ω$ is an infinite strip, i.e., a domain bounded by two parallel straight lines, there exists a unique one-dimensional solution (called the trivial solution) to this problem. By means of a bifurcation argument, we establish the existence of a critical period $T_*$ at which a branch of non-trivial solutions bifurcates from the trivial one. These solutions are genuinely two-dimensional and are defined in unbounded periodic domains $Ω$ that are diffeomorphic to an infinite strip, yet whose boundaries are no longer straight lines. This result offers a significant physical interpretation in the context of capillary phenomena.

We study the homogenization of the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations in periodically perforated domains where the size of the obstacles is of the same order as the distance between neighboring obstacles. Using the two-scale convergence method, which can be characterized via the unfolding operator, we derive the corresponding macroscopic model determined by Darcy's law. In particular, the macroscopic density satisfies the porous medium equation. The main challenge lies in identifying the pressure term in the limit. We overcome this by establishing the strong two-scale convergence of the densities, which is achieved by controlling the oscillation defect measure of the unfolded densities. A crucial contribution of our work is the development of a methodological framework applicable to more complex compressible fluid models. Furthermore, regarding conservative forces, we extend existing results from the literature to adiabatic constants $γ> \frac95$.

We study the Cauchy--Dirichlet problem for parabolic complex Hessian equations on Hermitian manifolds and on bounded strictly m-pseudoconvex domains. In the smooth setting, we prove global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions under the presence of an admissible parabolic subsolution, by establishing a priori estimates up to the parabolic boundary. The estimates combine parabolic boundary techniques for complex Hessian equations with interior second order estimates and a blow-up argument. We then develop a general pluripotential framework for degenerate right-hand sides with L^p densities, p>n/m, and bounded Cauchy--Dirichlet data. Since the usual automorphism and Walsh-type arguments do not directly apply in a variable Hermitian background, we use approximation by smooth data, balayage, parabolic Perron envelopes, and a continuous obstacle approximation based on Harvey--Lawson--Plis subequation theory. The resulting solution is continuous for positive time, locally uniformly Lipschitz and semi-concave in time, and continuous up to the initial slice when the initial datum is continuous. We also prove a parabolic comparison principle via time regularization, Riemann sum approximations, and mixed Hessian inequalities.

We develop a capacitary approach to semilinear elliptic inequalities on weighted graphs with a potential. More precisely, we study the nonexistence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions of \[ Δu+w(x)u+v(x)u^σ\le0 \qquad\text{in }V, \] where \((V,ω,μ)\) is a connected, locally finite weighted graph, \(Δ\) is the associated graph Laplacian, \(σ>1\), \(v>0\), and \(w\) is a real-valued potential. The potential term is handled by means of a positive solution \(H\) of \(ΔH+wH=0\), which transforms the operator \(Δ+w\) into the \(H\)-Laplacian associated with a new weighted graph. Our main nonexistence criterion is formulated directly in terms of cut-off functions and the regions where their \(H\)-Laplacian is controlled. Unlike metric criteria based on pseudo-metric annuli, our formulation determines the capacitary sets from the support of the \(H\)-Laplacian estimates for the cut-off functions. We provide an example showing that our result applies in situations not covered by previous nonexistence criteria based on structural lower bounds or pseudo-metric annular volume estimates. We also show that the growth exponent in our capacitary condition is sharp by constructing an example for which the condition fails by an arbitrary power \(R^\varepsilon\), while a positive nontrivial solution exists.

For the Zakharov system in four space dimensions, we prove that all solutions inside the potential well of the ground states are global and scattering in the energy space, with no other restriction such as symmetry. The proof has already been reduced by [3] to ruling out the existence of a minimal non-scattering solution that is precompact along some trajectory. This paper carries out the final step in the proof, namely we exclude the possibility of precompact solutions inside the potential well by combining two distinct arguments depending on the motion of trajectory.

We extend the optimal transport theory for signed measures supported on Ahlfors-regular fractal sets (Bwo'Nyahre et al., 2026) to allow a controlled dimensional distortion between source and target. A penalization term $\varepsilon Φ(d_s(x) - d_t(y))$ -- where $Φ$ is a fixed smooth strictly convex function and $d_s, d_t$ are the local Hausdorff dimensions of the fractal supports -- is added to the transport cost on inter-sign regions, with~$\varepsilon \ge 0$ controlling the tolerance for distortion. Under hypotheses H1--H7, we prove: the existence and uniqueness of an optimal transport map~$T^{\varepsilon}$ for every~$\varepsilon > 0$; coupled Monge--Ampère equations with a distortion correction term, generalizing the classical Brenier--Caffarelli equation; a double Legendre--Fenchel characterization of the optimal potentials, giving a complete variational description of the transport in each of the four sign regimes. The double Legendre--Fenchel system (Theorem~4.2) is the central contribution: it shows that the optimal potentials are the unique fixed points of a system of conjugacy equations, one per transport regime, and it provides the foundation for numerical algorithms and asymptotic analysis.

We study the Monge--Kantorovich optimal transport problem between two signed measures~$μ$ and~$ν$ on convex compact subsets of~$\mathbb{R}^d$, with a positional penalization function~$λ(x, y)$ that modulates the cost of inter-sign transport. Using four independent positive measures~$(π^{++}, π^{+-}, π^{-+}, π^{--})$ as decision variables, we prove that the admissible set~$\mathcal{A}(μ, ν)$ is weakly-$*$ compact and non-empty if and only if $μ^+(X) = ν^+(Y)$ and~$μ^-(X) = ν^-(Y)$. Strong duality is established via the Kantorovich minimax theorem, yielding a new compatibility condition on~$λ$ at the intersection of inter-sign supports. The penalization~$λ$ is shown to be Lipschitz and to admit Alexandrov second derivatives almost everywhere. Modified Monge--Ampère equations governing inter-sign transport maps are derived in the Alexandrov sense, with well-posedness characterized by $σ\det(D^2_{yx}Λ) e > 0$. The classical Brenier equation is recovered in the limit~$λ\to 0$.

We consider a family of optimization problems, based on a mean-field description of particles interacting through Coulomb forces in a quadratic trap. In addition, the particles are constrained to lie in a halfspace and we are interested in the way the particle distribution changes as the halfspace varies. In particular, we can prove the existence of a phase transition, thereby settling a recent conjecture by Byun, Forrester, Majumdar and Schehr.

We establish the parabolic Harnack inequality on weighted Riemannian manifolds for a large class of parabolic differential operators building on an approach due to Alexander Grigor'yan.

We investigate the propagation profile of positive solutions to \begin{equation*} u_t-du_{xx}=f(t,u) \mbox{ for } t>0,\ x\in(g(t),h(t)), \end{equation*} where $f(t,u)$ is monostable in $u$ and $T$-periodic in $t$, and the free boundaries $x=g(t), \ x=h(t)$ are determined by the Stefan condition $g'(t)=-μu_x(t, g(t)),\ h'(t)=-μu_x(t,h(t))$, coupled with $u(t, g(t))=u(t, h(t))=0$. For a special nonlinearity satisfying the strong KPP condition, the long-time behavior and asymptotic spreading speed of this problem were considered by Du, Guo and Peng \cite{DGP}. In this paper, by employing new techniques, we extend the results of \cite{DGP} to general monostable nonlinearities beyond the KPP framework and at the same time we obtain more precise description of the propagation profile: we prove the existence and uniqueness of a semi-wave and show that the spreading solution converges to this semi-wave as time goes to infinity.

We study the initial-value problem for the Schrödinger map flow from flat torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ into compact Kähler manifold $\mathcal{N}$. When $d \geq 3$ and $\mathcal{N} = \mathbb{S}^2$, we establish local well-posedness in $H^σ_x$ with $σ> d/2 + 1/2$. In this case, the evolution equation for the gradient of the solution reduces to a certain semilinear nonlinear Schrödinger equation (also known as modified Schrödinger map flow) when formulated in orthonormal frames. For general compact Kähler targets, we only obtain local well-posedness in $H^σ_x$ with $ σ> d/2 + 5/6$ due to the quasilinear nature of the flow, but in all dimensions $d \geq 2$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first low-regularity local well-posedness result for Schrödinger map flow in the periodic setting, which yields a gain of $1/2$ derivatives for $\mathbb{S}^2$ targets and $1/6$ derivatives for general Kähler targets compared to the classical results \cite{DW,M}. The key ingredients of our method are an $L_{t, x}^2$ bilinear estimate for the first case and an \emph{a priori} $L_t^6L_x^{\infty}$ estimate for the second case, which are both achieved by combining the mass/energy and momentum balance laws of the equation with a new type of div-curl lemma introduced by the second author.

In this paper, we are concerned with the optimal dimension-dependent $\ell^p$ norm of the discrete Riesz Transforms $R_{\text{dis}}^{(k)}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ given by the singular convolution kernel $K_k(m)=c_d m_k/|m|^{d+1}$, where $c_d=Γ(\frac{d+1}{2})/π^{(d+1)/2}$ . We show that for fixed $1<p<\infty$, when $d\to \infty$ $$\|R_{dis}^{\left( k \right)}\|_{\ell ^p\left( \mathbb{Z}^d \right) \rightarrow \ell ^p\left( \mathbb{Z}^d \right)}=2c_d\left( 1+\frac{\left( \sqrt{2}+o\left( 1 \right) \right) d}{2^{\frac{d}{2}}} \right) .$$ The operator norm of $R_{\text{dis}}^{(k)}$ grows super-exponentially as $d\to\infty$ since $c_d\sim(\frac{d-1}{2eπ})^{\frac{d-1}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{d-1}π}$ by Stirling's formula, which gives a negative answer to the conjecture proposed by Bañuelos, Kim and Kwaśnicki in \cite{BKK}. The optimal dimension-dependent $\ell^{1,\infty}$ estimate of $R_{\text{dis}}^{(k)}$ is also established.

We develop and analyze a Bregman-projected mirror iteration for low-order regularizations of stationary mean-field game (MFG) systems in their natural Banach space setting. For separable Hamiltonians of the form \(H(x,p,m)=H_0(x,p)-g(m)\), with quadratic or super-quadratic Hamiltonian growth and linear or super-linear density couplings, we formulate a low-order \(\barγ\)-Laplacian regularization of the stationary MFG system as a variational inequality on \(L^{\barβ}(\mathbb T^d)\times W^{1,\barγ}(\mathbb T^d)\). To approximate solutions of this regularized variational inequality, we introduce a Bregman geometry matched to the mixed Lebesgue--Sobolev exponents of the problem and analyze a constrained two-step mirror method with frozen operator evaluation. For the exact constrained iteration and each fixed regularization parameter \(\epsi>0\), we derive a one-step Bregman inequality and use it to prove that the constrained iteration converges strongly to the unique solution of the regularized variational inequality under natural summability conditions on the step sizes. Numerical experiments on one- and two-dimensional models, validated against exact test solutions, illustrate residual decay under mesh refinement and suggest improved practical performance of the two-step implementation in the tested discretizations.

We study random Schrödinger operators on closed Riemannian manifolds with Anderson-type potentials. We prove high-probability spectral inclusion bounds showing that eigenvalues remain close to those of the Laplacian, with deviations controlled by a norm of the potential coefficients. Compared with deterministic bounds, this yields a square-root cancellation gain. The proof is based on a general principle showing that randomisation improves operator norm bounds for multiplier-type operators, which we formulate in both discrete and continuous settings.

We address the inverse problem of recovering a degeneracy point within the diffusion coefficient of a one-dimensional complex parabolic equation by observing the normal derivative at one point of the boundary. The strongly degenerate case is analyzed. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions on the initial data that guarantee the stability and uniqueness of the solution obtained from a one-point measurement. Moreover, we present more general uniqueness theorems, which also cover the identification of the initial data, the coefficient of the zero order term and the degeneracy power, using measurements taken over time. Our method is based on a careful analysis of the spectral problem and relies on an explicit form of the solution in terms of Bessel functions. Our investigation also covers the case of real 1-D degenerate parabolic systems of equations coupled with a specific structure. Theoretical results are also supported by numerical simulations.

We prove finite-time Type--I blowup for the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in the axisymmetric no-swirl class, with initial velocity in $C^{1,α}(\mathbb{R}^3)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$, odd symmetry in $z$, and $0<α<\tfrac13$, for an explicit class of finite-energy initial data. The singularity forms at a stagnation point on the symmetry axis. The axial strain and the global vorticity norm blow up at the Type--I rates $-\partial_z u_z(0,0,t)\simeq (T^*-t)^{-1}$ and $\|ω(\cdot,t)\|_{L^\infty}\simeq (T^*-t)^{-1}$, while the meridional Jacobian collapses according to $J(t)\simeq (T^*-t)^{1/(1-3α)}$. The proof is organized around a Lagrangian clock-and-driver framework. The clock is the meridional Jacobian $J(t)$, and the driver is the compressive axial strain $-\partial_z u_z(0,0,t)$. These variables satisfy, to leading order, a closed Riccati-clock system: the axial strain drives the collapse of $J(t)$, while the collapse of $J(t)$ amplifies the axial strain. We prove that the Euler flow tracks this clock-and-driver model up to the singular time. The main nonlocal obstruction is the pressure Hessian; it is controlled by a non-perturbative strain--pressure Hessian comparison showing that pressure cannot cancel the quadratic compressive strain responsible for collapse. This gives a dynamical explanation of the threshold $α=\tfrac13$. The blowup mechanism is structurally stable and persists for an open set of admissible angular functions in a weighted Hölder topology.

We consider spherically symmetric Yang-Mills equations with gauge group $SO(d)$ in $d+1$ dimensional Minkowski spacetime. For any given odd $d\geq 11$, we establish existence and uniqueness (modulo reflection symmetry) of exactly $N$ smooth self-similar solutions, where $N$ is the number of zeros of an explicit polynomial $P_m(z)$ of degree $m=(d-5)/2$ in the interval $0<z<1$. The number $N$ can be determined algorithmically by an explicit computation. Our extensive computations for large odd dimensions suggest that $N=3$ for all odd $d\geq 11$. Two of these self-similar solutions admit closed-form expressions: one has been known previously, while the other appears to be new. Our result points toward a relatively simple landscape of possible blowup scenarios for high-dimensional Yang-Mills equations. Beyond its purely mathematical interest, this rigidity of self-similar blowup may also be relevant from a physical perspective, as it constrains the possible ultraviolet dynamics of non-abelian gauge fields in higher-dimensional Yang-Mills theories arising in string-inspired extra-dimensional setups and in holographic models.

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of prescribed Hessian quotient type curvature equations in Minkowski space. For non-convex domains, we prove the existence theorem by establishing the \emph{a priori} estimates without subsolution assumption and Serrin-type condition.

In this work we study the mean-field description of Consensus-Based Optimization (CBO), a derivative-free particle optimization method. Such a description is provided by a non-local SDE of McKean-Vlasov type, whose fields lack of global Lipschitz continuity. We propose a novel approach to prove the well-posedness of the mean-field CBO equation based on a truncation argument. The latter is performed through the introduction of a cut-off function, defined on the space of probability measures, acting on the fields. This procedure allows us to study the well-posedness problem in the classical framework of Sznitman. Through this argument, we recover the established result on the existence of strong solutions, and we extend the class of solutions for which pathwise uniqueness holds.

We study double-well systems with strong magnetic fields and deep potential wells. We present lower bounds on tunneling rates for generic values of the coupling constant. This result was recently announced and complements our recent counter-example construction which exhibits vanishing tunneling for specially-constructed double-well potentials.

We study an inverse boundary value problem for the nonlinear wave equation in $2 + 1$ dimensions. The objective is to recover an unknown potential $q(x, t)$ from the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map using real-valued waves. We propose a direct numerical reconstruction method for the Radon transform of $q$, which can then be inverted using standard X-ray tomography techniques to determine $q$. Our implementation introduces a spectral regularization procedure to stabilize the numerical differentiation step required in the reconstruction, improving robustness with respect to noise in the boundary data. We give rigorous justification and optimal stability estimates for the regularized spectral differentiation of noisy measurements, which may be of independent interest. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility of recovering potentials from boundary measurements of nonlinear waves and illustrate the advantages of the Radon-based reconstruction.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of nontrivial least-energy solutions for the super-Liouville equation with positive coefficient functions on the two-dimensional sphere. Firstly, we derive a global Pohozaev-type identity by analyzing the behavior of solutions under conformal transformations, which generalizes the classical Kazdan-Warner obstruction for the two-dimensional Nirenberg problem. Secondly, by exploiting conformal symmetry, we establish a pointwise estimate that bounds the norm of the spinor component by the scalar component, and show that the $H^1 \times H^{1/2}$ energy of the spinor part remains uniformly bounded. As a byproduct of our analysis, parallel techniques are applied to the Dirac-Einstein equations on the 3-sphere, demonstrating that nontrivial solutions are uniformly bounded away from the trivial solution in the $H^1 \times H^{1/2}$ norm. Moreover, the compactness of the solution space is also analyzed from two perspectives: in the low-energy regime, and modulo the action of the Möbius group. Finally, by introducing a new natural constraint $\mathcal{A}$ and employing variational methods, we obtain a supersymmetric generalization of the Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality and establish the existence of least-energy solutions for even coefficient functions. In particular, these solutions are shown to be nontrivial provided that a certain spectral parameter associated with the coefficients satisfies $λ_1(h_2, h_1) < 1$. Concurrently, we provide a complete classification of nontrivial least-energy solutions in the case of positive constant coefficients.

In this work the standard kinetic theory assumption of instantaneous collisions is lifted. As a continuation of of a previous paper by Kanzler, Schmeiser, and Tora [KRM, 2024], a model for higher order non-instantaneous alignment collisions is presented and studied in the asymptotic regime of short collision duration. A first order accurate approximative model is derived as a correction to the instantaneous limit. Rigorous results on its well-posedness and on the instantaneous limit are proven. The approximative model is a system of two equations. An equally accurate scalar approximation is suggested.
