The bounded confidence model of opinion dynamics, introduced by Deffuant et al, is a stochastic model for the evolution of continuous-valued opinions within a finite group of peers. We prove that, as time goes to infinity, the opinions evolve globally into ...
We study, in the context of the full wave equation, an approximate cloaking scheme that was previously considered for the Helmholtz equation [R. V. Kohn, D. Onofrei, M. S. Vogelius, and M. I. Weinstein, Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 63 (2010), pp. 973--1016, H.- ...

In this paper we prove the global in time well-posedness of the following non-local diffusion equation with αε[0,2/3): ∂tu={(−Δ)−1u}Δu+αu2,u(t=0)=u0. The initial condition u0 is positive, rad ...
We describe in this article two recent results [11], [12], obtained by the author jointly with W. Schlag and D. Tataru, about singular solutions for the critical wave maps equation, as well as the critical focussing semilinear wave equation. Specifically, ...
In this paperwe obtain a global characterization of the dynamics of even solutions to the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein–Gordon (NLKG) equation on the line with focusing nonlinearity |u|p−1u, p > 5, provided their energy exceeds that of the ground state o ...
The aim of this project is to implement the Rosenbrock method ROS3P in the C++ Finite Element library LifeV for the solution of systems of ordinary differential equations arising in electrophysiology. In the domain of electrophysiology LifeV implements car ...
A new method for solving numerically stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with multiple scales is presented. The method combines a spectral method with the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) presented in [W. E, D. Liu, E. Vanden-Eijnden, An ...
We present a rigorous functional analytic setting to study the radial wave equation in similarity coordinates. As an application we analyze linear stability of the fundamental self-similar solution of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity. T ...
Reconstruction of point sources from boundary measurements is a challenging problem in many applications. Recently, we proposed a new sensing and non-iterative reconstruction scheme for systems governed by the three-dimensional wave equation. The points so ...

We present a new approach for the construction of lower bounds for the inf-sup stability constants required in a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations. We combine the ``linearized' ...
