- ItemA logistic equation with nonlocal interactions(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Caffarelli, Luis; Dipierro, Serena; Outrata, Jir̆íWe consider here a logistic equation, modeling processes of nonlocal character both in the diffusion and proliferation terms. More precisely, for populations that propagate according to a Levy process and can reach resources in a neighborhood of their position, we compare (and find explicit threshold for survival) the local and nonlocal case. As ambient space, we can consider: bounded domains, periodic environments, transition problems, where the environment consists of a block of infinitesimal diffusion and an adjacent nonlocal one. In each of these cases, we analyze the existence/nonexistence of solutions in terms of the spectral properties of the domain. In particular, we give a detailed description of the fact that nonlocal populations may better adapt to sparse resources and small environments.
- ItemGraph properties for nonlocal minimal surfaces(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Dipierro, Serena; Savin, Ovidiu; Valdinoci, EnricoIn this paper we show that a nonlocal minimal surface which is a graph outside a cylinder is in fact a graph in the whole of the space. As a consequence, in dimension 3, we show that the graph is smooth. The proofs rely on convolution techniques and appropriate integral estimates which show the pointwise validity of an Euler-Lagrange equation related to the nonlocal mean curvature.
- ItemMehler-Heine asymptotics of a class of generalized hypergeometric polynomials(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013) Bracciali, Cleonice F.; Moreno-Balcázar, Juan JoséWe obtain a Mehler–Heine type formula for a class of generalized hypergeometric polynomials. This type of formula describes the asymptotics of polynomials scale conveniently. As a consequence of this formula, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding zeros. We illustrate these results with numerical experiments and some figures.
- ItemError control for the approximation of Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations with a logarithmic potential(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Bartels, Sören; Müller, RüdigerA fully computable upper bound for the finite element approximation error of Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations with logarithmic potentials is derived. Numerical experiments show that for the sharp interface limit this bound is robust past topological changes. Modifications of the abstract results to derive quasi-optimal error estimates in different norms for lowest order finite element methods are discussed and lead to weaker conditions on the residuals under which the conditional error estimates hold.
- ItemStrong solutions for the interaction of a rigid body and a viscoelastic fluid(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Götze, KarolineWe study a coupled system of equations describing the movement of a rigid body which is immersed in a viscoelastic fluid. It is shown that under natural assumptions on the data and for general goemetries of the rigid body, excluding contact scenarios, a unique local-in-time strong solution exists.

- ItemDiffraction of stochastic point sets : exactly solvable examples(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Baake, Michael; Birkner, Matthias; Moody, Robert V.Stochastic point sets are considered that display a diffraction spectrum of mixed type, with special emphasis on explicitly computable cases together with a unified approach of reasonable generality. Several pairs of autocorrelation and diffraction measures are discussed that show a duality structure that may be viewed as analogues of the Poisson summation formula for lattice Dirac combs.
- ItemEnergy consistent discontinuous Galerkin methods for a quasi-incompressible diffuse two phase flow model(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Giesselmann, Jan; Pryer, TristanWe design consistent discontinuous Galerkin finite element schemes for the approximation of a quasi-incompressible two phase flow model of AllenCahn/CahnHilliard/NavierStokesKorteweg type which allows for phase transitions.We show that the scheme is mass conservative and monotonically energy dissipative. In this case the dissipation is isolated to discrete equivalents of those effects already causing dissipation on the continuous level, that is, there is no artificial numerical dissipation added into the scheme. In this sense the methods are consistent with the energy dissipation of the continuous PDE system.

- ItemTrend detection in river flow indices in Poland(Heidelberg : Springer, 2018) Piniewski, Mikołaj; Marcinkowski, Paweł; Kundzewicz, Zbigniew W.The issue of trend detection in long time series of river flow records is of vast theoretical interest and considerable practical relevance. Water management is based on the assumption of stationarity; hence, it is crucial to check whether taking this assumption is justified. The objective of this study is to analyse long-term trends in selected river flow indices in small- and medium-sized catchments with relatively unmodified flow regime (semi-natural catchments) in Poland. The examined indices describe annual and seasonal average conditions as well as annual extreme conditions—low and high flows. The special focus is on the spatial analysis of trends, carried out on a comprehensive, representative data set of flow gauges. The present paper is timely, as no spatially comprehensive studies (i.e. covering the entire Poland or its large parts) on trend detection in time series of river flow have been done in the recent 15 years or so. The results suggest that there is a strong random component in the river flow process, the changes are weak and the spatial pattern is complex. Yet, the results of trend detection in different indices of river flow in Poland show that there exists a spatial divide that seems to hold quite generally for various indices (annual, seasonal, as well as low and high flow). Decreases of river flow dominate in the northern part of the country and increases usually in the southern part. Stations in the central part show mostly ‘no trend’ results. However, the spatial gradient is apparent only for the data for the period 1981–2016 rather than for 1956–2016. It seems also that the magnitude of increases of river flow is generally lower than that of decreases.
