Parametrisations for null temperature functions: nonuniqueness of solutions to the heat equation

Disclaimer. I expect this is a highly open problem, but maybe I'm wrong and someone has come up with some answers besides those given here. In any case, all information appreciated, thanks! Definition....

Rigorous analysis of phase transitions and universality in a non-linear model of interacting oscillators

Consider a system of interacting non-linear oscillators governed by the McKean-Vlasov equation: $$\frac{\partial p(x,t)}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left[\frac{\partial V(x)}{\partial x}...

Open problems in PDEs, dynamical systems, mathematical physics

(This question might not be appropriate for this site. If so, I apologize in advance. I would have posted to mathstack, but I'm looking for advice from active researchers.) I am an undergrad in math ...

What is known about discrete versions of the spatially homogenous Boltzmann equation with finitely many (but arbitrarily many) velocities?

Consider a discrete version of spatially homogenous Boltzmann equation with finitely many (but arbitrarily many) velocities $v_i \in \mathbb R^n$ with $i \in I$. Equivalently, consider a system of ...

Rigorous stability analysis of infinite dimensional ODEs : How to bound the tails?

My question is about linear stability analysis of dynamical systems obtained by discretizing linear(ized) partial differential equations. Consider, $\dot{x}=Ax$, where $x$ is the infinite dimensional ...

Long wavelength instability: Linear Vs nonlinear phenomenon

I am looking into stability for certain nonlinear PDE on $\mathbb{R}$ around a specific steady solution, $f_0(x)$. The nonlinear Cauchy PDE is given by: $\dfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}=\mathbf{N}...

Stability of Fokker plank solutions with drift not coming from potential: Lyapunov analysis

Consider the FP equation on two dimensional space: $\dfrac{\partial{\rho(x,y,t)}}{{\partial t}}+u(x,y)\dfrac{\partial\rho}{\partial x}+v(x,y)\dfrac{\partial\rho}{\partial y}=D\Delta\rho(x,y,t)$. It ...
