Relationship between three different definitions of solutions for ODE with irregular coefficient
What is the difference between the notions of
Regular Lagrangian flow
Filippov solution

A special type of differential equations
Working in optimal control of PDEs, I came across a type of evolution problem that has instead of an initial condition a link between the initial state and the final state.
Here is a simplified ...

system of Euler like ode's
I am interested in solving some linear elliptic system like
$$ -\Delta \phi(x) + \frac{C_1 \psi(x)}{|x|^\beta} =f(x)$$
$$ -\Delta \psi(x) + \frac{C_2 \phi(x)}{|x|^\alpha} =g(x)$$ in $B_1$ (the ...

Uniqueness of solution of elliptic equation with exponential nonlinearity
Consider the following equation
$$\Delta v + p(r)e^v = 0$$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$
where $p(r)$ is a polynomial in $r = |(x_1,..., x_n)|$. I want to understand when equations like these have unique ...

Variational Principle for a System of Differential Equations
I am studying a differential operator of the form $$ L\left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \end{array}\right) = -\Delta \left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \end{array}\right) + V(x)\left(\begin{array}{c} u \\ v \...

Scaling limit of ODE with double-well potential
Let us consider the ODE
$$
\frac{d}{dt}x_\epsilon(t) = -\frac{1}{\epsilon} W'(x_\epsilon(t))
$$
where $W$ is a double-well potential -- for example, $W(x)=\frac{1}{4}(x^2-1)^2$ so that the ODE reads
$$...

Recommendation for books on boundary-value problems that include perturbed boundaries and many solved problems
I am looking for a book or resource that contains applied math analytical methods and a lot of solved problems in Boundary-Value Problems for second-order PDEs, and if it could be related to wave-...

Role of absolute continuity of divergence of BV function in proof of renormalization property
In the paper http://cvgmt.sns.it/paper/436/, the author proves the renormalization property for the flow generated by a vector field $a(t,\cdot) \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N; \mathbb{R}^N)$.
Heuristically, ...

When is there an inclusion between regular Orlicz Spaces?
It is a classical result that $L^p(\Omega) \subset L^q(\Omega)$ when $q<p$ and $|\Omega| < \infty$. I'd like to know if there is an Orlicz version of this fact. In other words, let $L^{G_1}$ and ...

N-wave solution of conservation law $u_t + (u - u^2)_x = 0$
How can we compute the "N-wave" source-solution of the conservation law
$$u_t + (u - u^2)_x = 0, $$
that is, the entropy solution of this conservation law with the initial data $u(0,\cdot) = ...

Scaling limit of transport equation with double-well potential
Let us consider the transport PDE
$$
u^\epsilon_t + u^\epsilon_x= -\frac{1}{\epsilon} W'(u^\epsilon)
$$
where $W$ is a double-well potential -- for example, $W(x)=\frac{1}{4}(x^2-1)^2$ so that the PDE ...

Godunov splitting convergence research
The approximation of Godunov splitting on certain differential equations is known to be first order accurate. In 2011, a paper has also shown that it is first order accurate for nonlinear ordinary ...
