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

Get Moving with Quad in Motion

The third annual Quad in Motion will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13, on the Quad. The Office of Health Promotion and Wellness wants all 6000+ employees to keep the Quad in Motion by walking or running for at least 30 minutes that day. Employees are asked to sign up

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
