VARIABLE EXPONENT BOUNDED VARIATION SPACES IN THE RIESZ SENSE Abstract This talk introduces Variable Exponent Bounded Variation Spaces in the Riesz Sense. We prove some embedding results and present a Riesz representation lemma in our setting . Also it shows an application of the latter result by characterizing the global Lipschitz Nemytskii operator on the newly introduced spaces

Phase-Field Free Energy and Boundary Force for Molecular Solvation Abstract: We discuss a phase-filed variational model for the solvation of charged molecules with implicit solvent. The solvation free-energy functional of all phase fields consists of the surface energy, solute excluded volume and solute-solvent van der Waals dispersion energy, and electrostatic free energy. The last part

Title: Immersed Finite Element Methods for Interface Problems Basic idea, Development, Analysis, and Applications Abstract: Simulating a multi-scale/multi-physics phenomenon often involves a domain consisting of different materials. This often leads to the so-called interface problems of partial differential equations. Classical finite elements methods can solve interface problems satisfactorily if the mesh is aligned with interfaces; otherwise the

Title: Effective models of flow in highly heterogeneous fractured/vuggy porous media   Abstract:  The presence of vugs and fractures in porous media can significantly affect pressure and flow behavior of a fluid. In this talk, I will present the effective models of flow in a porous medium including multi-scale fractures and  several vuggs of various

Title: Global Stability of a Class of Nonlinear PDE with a Nonlocal Term Abstract: We will establish global asymptotic stability results for a class of non-linear PDE which arise in approximations of models of particle coarsening. These PDE must satisfy a conservation of mass constraint which induces a nonlocal term into the equation. Our method
