Particle trajectories around a running cylinder in Brinkman's porous-media flow
[ Abstract ]
Motion of fluid particles provides us with interesting problems of dynamical
systems. We consider here the movement of particles around a running cylinder.
Classically J. C. Maxwell (1870) considered the problem in irrotational flow of
inviscid fluid. He showed that the complete solution is given by the elliptic
functions and the trajectory forms one of the elastica curves. C. Darwin ('53)
considered a similar problem for a moving sphere. In this case, the solution
cannot be written in terms of elliptic functions but can be expressed by a
simple definite integral.
We consider a similar problem in Brinkman's porous-media flow which is proposed
by Brinkman ('49). Our numerical examinations reveals some new interesting
features of the particle trajectories which are not observed in the case of
irrotational flow. We will report them.

ギーラー・マインハルト方程式に対するシャドウ系おける多重スポットの不安定性
[ Abstract ]
生物の形態形成に関するモデル方程式である、ギーラー・マインハルト方程式に対するシャドウ系を考える。
この系にはスポットパターンと呼ばれる定常解が存在することが知られており、この解は、その値が非常に大きい点(スポット)を持つこととその近傍の外側では急激に値が減少することにより特徴付けされる。
実は、パラメータと領域を固定しても、単一のスポットだけからなるものや、2つ以上のスポットを持つ定常解、多重スポットが同時に存在しうるが、多重スポットは常に不安定であると予想されている。
本講演では、この予想を数学的に保証するために、多重スポットが適当な条件を満たせば不安定であることを示したい。

Stochastic Particle Approximation for Measure Valued Solutions of the 2D Keller-Segel System
[ Abstract ]
We construct an approximation to the measure valued, global in time solutions to the Keller-Segel model in 2D, based on systems of stochastic interacting particles. The advantage of our approach is that it reproduces the well-known dichtomy in the qualitative behavior of the system and, moreover, captures the solution even after the possible blow-up events. We present a numerical method based on this approach and show some numerical results. Moreover, we make a first step toward the convergence analysis of our scheme by proving the convergence of the stochastic particle approximation for the Keller-Segel model with a regularized interaction potential. The proof is based on a BBGKY-like approach for the corresponding particle distribution function.

Aronson-Benilan type estimate and the optimal Hoelder continuity of weak solutions for the 1D degenerate Keller-Segel systems
[ Abstract ]
We consider the Cauchy problem for the 1D Keller-Segel system of degenerate
type (KS)_m with $m>1$:
u_t= \\partial_x^2 u^m - \\partial_x (u^{q-2} \\partial_x v),
-\\partial_x^2 v + v - u=0.
We establish a uniform estimate from below of $\\partial_x^2 u^{m-1}$.
The corresponding estimate to the porous medium equation is well-known
as an Aronson-Benilan type.
As an application of our Aronson-Benilan type estimate,
we prove the optimal Hoelder continuity of the weak solution $u$ of (KS)_m.
In addition, we find that the positive region $D(t):=\\{x \\in \\R; u(x,t)>0\\}$
of $u$ is monotonically non-decreasing with respect to the time $t$.

Two-dimensional harmonic map heat flow versus four-dimensional Yang-Mills heat flow
[ Abstract ]
Harmonic map heat flow and Yang-Mills heat flow are the gradient flows associated to particular energy functionals. In the considered dimension, (i.e. dimension two for the harmonic map heat flow, dimension four for the Yang-Mills heat flow), the associated energy functional is (locally) conformally invariant, that is, the dimension is critical. This leads to a number of interesting phenomena when considering both the functionals and the associated flows. In this talk we discuss qualitative similarities and differences between the flows.

Two positive solutions for an inhomogeneous scalar field equation
[ Abstract ]
We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation:
$$-\\Delta u+u=g(u)+f(x), x \\in R^N,$$
where $N\\ge 3$. When $f(x)\\equiv 0$, it is known that there is a nontrivial solution for a wide class of nonlinearities. Even though $f(x) \\not\\equiv 0$, we can expect the existence of a nontrivial solution if $f(x)$ is small in a suitable sense. Our purpose is to show the existence of two positive solutions via the variational approach when $\\| f\\|_{L^2}$ is small. The first solution is characterized as a local minimizer. The second solution will be obtained by the Mountain Pass Method. Since we do not impose any global condition on the nonlinearity, we will need a presice interaction estimate.

Allen-Cahn方程式における角錐型進行波の一意性と安定性
(The uniqueness and asymptotic stability of pyramidal traveling fronts in the Allen-Cahn equations)

[ Abstract ]
We study the uniqueness and the asymptotic stability of a pyramidal traveling front in the three-dimensional whole space. For a given admissible pyramid we prove that a pyramidal traveling front is uniquely determined and that it is asymptotically stable under the condition that given perturbations decay at infinity. For this purpose we characterize the pyramidal traveling front as a combination of planar fronts on the lateral surfaces. Moreover we characterize the pyramidal traveling front in another way, that is, we write it as a combination of two-dimensional V-form waves on the edges. This characterization also uniquely determines a pyramidal traveling front.

Keller-Segel系に対する離散化手法
[ Abstract ]
細胞性粘菌の凝集現象を記述するモデルとして広く知られるKeller-Segel(KS)系に対して,講演者の提案した保存的上流差分法および有限要素法を紹介したい.これらスキームは,KS系の解の基本性質である正値性保存と質量保存を厳密に再現し,解が凝集による集中化を起こしても安定な計算が遂行可能である.さらに,離散$L^p$空間における離散的解析半群の理論を応用して,陽的な誤差評価が導出される.なお当日の講演では,誤差解析等の理論よりは,離散スキームの構成方法や条件の説明に焦点をおきたい.

細胞生理学における数理研究のいくつかの話題について
[ Abstract ]
数理生理学は広汎な分野であり,用いられる手法も近年ますます多様化している.本講演では,数理生理学の中でも古典的な分野である電気生理学の数理モデルに関する最近の研究を紹介する.

電気生理学が対象とするのは細胞および組織レベルでの電気活動であり,これは神経・心・内分泌機能の根幹をなすものである.Hodgkin とHuxley の有名な仕事を契機として,この方面の研究は数理生理学に格好の題材を提供し続けてきた.本講演では,まず電気生理の基礎概念を紹介した後,イオン動態と細胞膜の3次元形状の効果を取り入れたモデルについて解説し,その心臓生理学への応用について語る.さらに時間が許せば,私が今興味を持っている細胞極性の生成,細胞の動きなどの話題についても紹介したい.

Hidden dynamics and pulsating waves in self-propagating high temperature synthesis
[ Abstract ]
We derive the precise limit of SHS in the high activation energy scaling suggested by B.J. Matkowksy-G.I. Sivashinsky in 1978 and by A. Bayliss-B.J. Matkowksy-A.P. Aldushin in 2002. In the time-increasing case the limit coincides with the Stefan problem for supercooled water with spatially inhomogeneous coefficients. In general it is a nonlinear forward-backward parabolic equation with discontinuous hysteresis term.

In the first part we give a complete characterization of the limit problem in the case of one space dimension. In the second part we construct in any finite dimension a rather large family of pulsating waves for the limit problem. In the third part, we prove that for constant coefficients the limit problem in any finite dimension does not admit non-trivial pulsating waves.
This is a joint work with Regis MONNEAU (CERMICS, France).

A compactness result in micromagnetics
[ Abstract ]
We study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem, depending on two parameters, for maps with values into the unit sphere. There is a physical prediction for the optimal configuration of the magnetization called the Landau state. Our goal is to prove compactness of the Landau state. This is a joint work with Felix Otto.

$$ -\\epsilon2 \\Delta u +V(x)u= u^p, u>0 \\ \\hbox{in} \\R^N,
u\\in H1(\\R^N)$$
において、$\\epsilon \\to 0$ としたときに V(x) の k個の極小点にピークが集中していくマルチピーク解 $u_\\epsilon$ について考える。
ここで、p はsuperlinear, subcriticalの条件を満たし, ポテンシャル関数 V(x) は非負の有界な関数で $\\liminf_{|x|\\to \\infty}V(x)>0$ を満たすとする。

もし V(x) の各極小点に集中するピークがあるとしたら、そのピークの形状や大きさはその極小値が正であるか、0であるかによって大きく異なることが知られている。
この講演では V(x) の各極小値が正であるか 0 であるかにかかわらず、各 k個の極小点にピークが集中するマルチピーク解 $u_\\epsilon$ を構成する。

弱い飽和効果をもったGierer-Meinhardt systemにおける軸対称領域上での多重ピーク解の構成と漸近挙動について
[ Abstract ]
This talk is based on the joint work with Kotaro Morimoto (Tokyo Metropolitan University).

We are concerned with stationary solutions to the following reaction diffusion system which is called the Gierer-Meinhardt system with saturation.
$A_t=\\epsilon^2 \\Delta A-A+A^2/(H(1+kA^2), A>0,$
$\\tau H_t=D\\Delta H-H+A2, H>0,$
where $\\epsilon >0$, $\\tau \\geq 0$, $k>0$.
The unknowns $A$ and $H$ represent the concentrations of the activator and the inhibitor. Here $\\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $R^N$ and we consider homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. When $\\Omega$ is an $x_N$-axially symmetric domain and $2\\leq N\\leq 5$, for sufficiently small $\\epsilon>0$ and large $D>0$, we construct a multi-peak stationary solution peaked at arbitrarily chosen intersections of $x^N$-axis and $\\partial \\Omega$, under the condition that $k\\epsilon^{-2N}$ converges to some $k_0\\in[0,\\infty)$ as $\\epsilon \\to 0$.

In my talk, I will explain related results comparing the differences between the case $k=0$ and $k>0$, the basic strategy of the proof of our results with some details, and open questions.

Acoustic Modeling and Osteoporotic Evaluation of Bone
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we discuss the modeling of the acoustic response of cancellous bone using the methods of homogenization.
This can lead to Biot type equations or more generalized equations. We develop the effective acoustic equations for cancellous bone. It is assumed that the bone matrix is elastic and the interstitial blood-marrow can be modeled as a Navier-Stokes system.
We also discuss the use of the Biot model and consider its applicability to cancellous bone. One of the questions this talk addresses is whether the clinical experiments customarily performed can be used to determine the parameters of the Biot or other bone models. A parameter recovery algorithm which uses parallel processing is developed and tested.

Multiple positive solutions for classes of elliptic systems with combined nonlinear effects
[ Abstract ]
We study the existence of multiple positive solutions to systems of the form

-\\Delta u = \\lambda f(v)
-\\Delta v = \\lambda g(u)

in a bounded domain in R^N under the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here f, g belong to a class of positive functions having a combined sublinear effect at infinity. Our result also easily extends to the corresponding p-Laplacian systems. We prove our results by the method of sub and super solutions.

An Inviscid Dyadic Model For Turbulence
[ Abstract ]
We discuss properties of a GOY type model for the inviscid fluid equations. We prove that the forced system has a unique equilibrium which a an exponential global attractor. Every solution blows up in H^5/6 in finite time . After this time, all solutions stay in H^s, s<5/6, and "turbulent" dissipation occurs. Onsager's conjecture is confirmed for the model system.

This is joint work with Alexey Cheskidov and Natasa Pavlovic.
