Partial Differential Equations and Applications  

The scientific activity of the Group is devoted to the study of equations and systems of equations of partial differential equations arising in applications, with particular reference to phase transition phenomena, dynamics of liquid crystals, population dynamics. The Group is interested in both the modeling and analytical aspects.

Keywords

Well-posedness and regularity of solutions of nonlinear PDEs, Long-time behavior of evolution equations, Fractional Laplacian regularity theory, Fully nonlinear equations, Nonlocal equations, Inverse problems, Phase Transitions, Liquid Crystals
