Shock formation and maximal hyperbolic development in multi-D gas dynamics.

 We consider the Cauchy problem for the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations, evolving from an open set of compressive and generic smooth initial data. We construct unique solutions to the Euler equations which are as smooth as the initial data, in the maximal spacetime set characterized by: at any point in this spacetime, the solution can be smoothly and uniquely computed by tracing both the fast and slow acoustic characteristic surfaces backward-in-time until reaching the Cauchy data prescribed along the initial time-slice. This spacetime is sometimes referred to as the “maximal globally hyperbolic development” (MGHD) of the given Cauchy data. We prove that the future temporal boundary of this spacetime region is a singular hypersurface, consisting of the union of three sets: first, a co-dimension-2 surface of “first singularities” called the pre-shock; second, a downstream co-dimension-1 surface emanating from the pre-shock, on which the Euler solution experiences a continuum of gradient catastrophes; third, an upstream co-dimension-1 surface consisting of a Cauchy horizon emanating from the pre-shock, which the Euler solution cannot reach. In order to establish this result, we develop a new geometric framework for the description of the acoustic characteristic surfaces, and combine this with a new type of differentiated Riemann-type variables which are linear combinations of gradients of velocity/sound speed and the curvature of the fast acoustic characteristic surfaces. This is a joint work with Steve Shkoller (University of California at Davis)

The k-Yamabe flow and its solitons.

 

The Yamabe problem is a classical question in conformal geometry that has promoted a fruitful interaction between geometry and analysis. In this talk I will briefly introduce this problem and a fully-nonlinear extension of it, known as the k-Yamabe problem. I will finish the talk  by discussing recent results obtained with Maria Fernanda Espinal related to the classification of soliton solutions to this equation.

Interacting flexible structures with localized strong damping mecha-
nisms: Semigroup stability and regularity.

 Thanks, first to a conjecture of Goong Chen and David Russell
(1982), then to results of Roberto Triggiani and Shuping Chen (1989, 1990), responding to that conjecture, it has been known since the late eighties that the Euler-Bernoulli plate with structural or Kelvin-Voigt damping exhibits an analytic and exponentially stable semigroup.

Then came the natural question: What happens to these semigroup properties when the structural or Kelvin-Voigt damping is localized?

In the late nineties, Kangsheng Liu and Zhuangyi Liu (1998) showed that the semigroup corresponding to an Euler-Bernoulli beam with localized Kelvin- Voigt damping is exponentially stable, but not analytic; in the same paper, those authors proved that the string equation with localized Kelvin-Voigt damping is not exponentially stable when the damping coefficient is discontinuous.

In this talk, I’ll give a brief historical account of what is known in this frame-work, then share recent findings with my collaborators Irena Lasiecka (case of Euler-Bernoulli plate with localized structural or Kelvin-Voigt damping),and Ka ̈ıs Ammari, Fathi Hassine and Souleymane Kadri Harouna (case of coupled wave equations with localized singular Kelvin-Voigt damping).

PARABOLIC SYSTEM WITH BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:WELL-POSEDNESS AND NULL CONTROLLABILITY

 

In this talk, we present some results on wellposedness and (internal
and boundary) null controllability of the parabolic equation with dynamic
boundary conditions and drift terms

∂ty − d∆y + B(x).∇y + c(x).y = 1ωu + f in ΩT ,
∂tyΓ − δ∆ΓyΓ + d∂νy + b(x).∇ΓyΓ + l(x)yΓ = 1Γ0v +g on ΓT 

y|Γ(t, x) = yΓ(t, x) on ΓT ,

y(0, ·) = y0 in Ω,
y|Γ(0, ·) = y0,Γ on Γ,
where Ω is a bounded domain of RN , with smooth boundary Γ = ∂Ω of
class C2
, ν(x) is the outer unit normal field to Ω in the point M(x) of Γ,
∂νy := (ν.∇y)|Γ, d, δ are positive real numbers, c ∈ L∞(Ω), l ∈ L∞(Γ),
B ∈ L∞(Ω)N , b ∈ L∞(Γ)N , f ∈ L2((0, T) × Ω) and g ∈ L2((0, T) × Γ). The
functions u and v are internal and boundary controls, acting on small regions ω and Γ0, respectively.
We study first the wellposedness of the above system and its associated adjoint system. To obtain boundary and null controllability, we prove adequate observability inequalities, which are obtained by establishing new internal and boundary Carleman estimates for the backward adjoint problems.

Free boundary regularity for the obstacle problem

The classical obstacle problem consists of finding the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fixed and constrained to lie above a given obstacle

By classical results of Caffarelli, the free boundary is smooth outside a set of singular points. However, explicit examples show that the singular set could be, in general, as large as the regular set. This talk aims to introduce this beautiful problem and describe some classical and recent results on the regularity of the free boundary.

Controlled Latent Diffusion Models for 3D Porous Media Reconstruction

Inverse problems are pivotal in porous media analysis, demanding the reconstruction of subsurface microstructures from limited imaging data—critical for applications such as energy exploration, hydrocarbon recovery, and underground storage. While traditional approaches often rely on statistical or physics-based models, recent breakthroughs in deep generative methods—particular­ly diffusion-based approaches—present new avenues for enhanced accuracy and computational efficiency.

In this talk, I will introduce a novel framework for reconstructing 3D porous microstructures using controlled latent diffusion models, developed in collaboration with ExxonMobil. By integrating the EDM diffusion framework with a tailored variational autoencoder (VAE), we achieve high-resolution digital rock reconstructions while preserving computational feasibility. Furthermore, we propose controlled unconditional sampling, an approach that improves model reliability through the incorporation of physical constraints such as porosity and two-point correlation functions.
Our results demonstrate that generative models can act as powerful, data-driven solvers for inverse problems, addressing challenges where traditional physics-based models falter due to data scarcity or high computational costs. This methodology is broadly applicable across geophysics, medical imaging, and materials science—any field where reconstructing complex microstructures from indirect observations is essential.
This work is in collaboration with Danilo Naiff (UFRJ), Bernardo P. Schaeffer (UFRJ), Gustavo Pires (UFRJ), Dragan Stojkovic(ExxonMobil) and Thomas Rapstine (ExxonMobil).

MASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF A NONLOCAL DISPERSION PROBLEM IN R^N

The

In this talk I will present results on the time asymptotic behavior of the solution of a nonlocal
dispersion problem with absorption in R^N .

There holds that it strongly depends on the bahavior of the initial datum at infinity. To simplify
the presentation I will only discuss the situation in which the initial datum decays as a negative
power of the norm of the variable. This is,

|x|^α.u0(x) → A > 0  as |x| → ∞, α > 0.

The absorption is modeled as a power of the unknow: −u

p with p > 1 and, the time asymptotics

depends on the relation between α, p and the dimension N.
The idea of the talk is to present the results in all cases and, to give a glimps of the ideas behind
the proofs when dispersion is stronger than absorption or they both persist in the time asymptotics.
These results have been obtained in collaboration with Joana Terra, Carmen Cortazar and
Fernando Quiros.

SOLITARY WAVE SOLUTIONS FOR A FIFTH ORDER
KAUP-KUPERSHMIDT-KDV TYPE EQUATION

 In the present work, we consider the general class of evolution models, named the
generalized Kaup-Kupershmidt-KdV equation, given by
(1) ut + μ∂3xu + α∂5xu + ∂x(γu2x + P(u)) = 0
where P is a polynomial and μ, α and γ are constants. This evolution model includes
many well known models like the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the modified Korteweg-de
Vries equation, and the Kaup-Kupershmit-Korteweg-de Vries equation. The evolution
model considered has no a Hamiltonian structure as happens in many water wave model.
Using the Fourier transform, the existence of solitary wave solutions for this model is
equivalent to find a fixed point, for which we use the standard Picard method choosing
appropriately the initial condition. We also include a brief discussion on the non existence
of solitary wave solutions.
