In this paper we describe the main characteristics of the macroscopic model for pedestrian flows introduced in [R.M. Colombo, M.D. Rosini, Pedestrian flows and non-classical shocks, Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 28 (13) (2005) 1553-1567] and recently sperimentally verified in [D. Helbing, A. Johansson, H.Z. Al-Abideen, Dynamics of crowd disasters: An empirical study, Phys. Rev. E (Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics) 75 (4) (2007) 0461091. After a detailed study of all the possible wave interactions, we prove the existence of a weighted total variation that does not increase after any interaction. This is the main ingredient used in [R.M. Colombo, M.D. Rosini. Existence of nonclassical Cauchy problem modeling pedestrian flows, technical report, Brescia Department of Mathematics, 2008] to tackle the Cauchy problem through wave front tracking, see [A. Bressan, Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws. The One-Dimensional Cauchy Problem, Oxford Lecture Ser. Math. Appl., vol. 20, Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford, 2000, The one-dimensional Cauchy problem; A. Bressan. The front tracking method for systems of conservation laws, in: C.M. Dafermos, E. Feireisl (Eds.), Handbook of Differential Equations; Evolutionary Equations, vol. 1, Elsevier, 2004, pp. 87-168; R.M. Colombo, Wave front tracking in systems of conservation laws, Appl. Math. 49 (6) (2004) 501-537]. From the mathematical point of view, this model is one of the few examples of conservation laws in which nonclassical solutions have a physical motivation, see [P.G. Lefloch, Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws, Lectures Math. ETH Zurich, Birkhauser, Basel, 2002, The theory of classical and nonclassical shock waves], and an existence result is available.

On existence, stability and many-particle approximation of solutions of 1D Hughes' model with linear costs

Boris Andreianov, Massimiliano D. Rosini, Graziano Stivaletta

Summary: This paper focuses on the one-dimensional formulation of Hughes' model for pedestrian flows in the context of entropy solutions. It introduces the concept of non-classical shocks at the turning curve and considers different crowd behaviors based on linear cost functions. The paper presents an existence result for general data in the framework of entropy solutions, which allows for the presence of non-classical shocks. The proofs rely on a many-particle approximation scheme and numerical simulations illustrate the model's ability to reproduce typical evacuation behaviors, with a focus on the impact of the parameter α on evacuation time.

Determining an anisotropic conductivity by boundary measurements: Stability at the boundary

Giovanni Alessandrini, Romina Gaburro, Eva Sincich

Summary: This paper considers the inverse problem of determining the conductivity of a possibly anisotropic body Ω, subset of R-n, by means of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map on a curved portion Σ of its boundary. Motivated by the uniqueness result for piecewise constant anisotropic conductivities, the paper provides a Hölder stability estimate on Σ when the conductivity is a priori known to be a constant matrix near Σ.

Summary: This article studies the time dependent Euler-Bernoulli beam equation with discontinuous and singular coefficients, and obtains an explicit formulation of the differential problem using an extension of the Hormander product of distributions. The dynamics of the Euler-Bernoulli beam model with discontinuous flexural stiffness and structural cracks are further explored, and the relationship between the characteristic frequencies of the beam and the singularities in the flexural stiffness is investigated.

Concentration phenomenon of single phytoplankton species with changing-sign advection term

Yun Li, Danhua Jiang, Zhi-Cheng Wang

Summary: In this study, a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation is used to model the growth of phytoplankton species in a vertical water column with changing-sign advection. The species relies solely on light for metabolism. The paper primarily focuses on the concentration phenomenon of phytoplankton under conditions of large advection amplitude and small diffusion rate. The findings show that the phytoplankton tends to concentrate at certain critical points or the surface of the water column under these conditions.

A perturbation of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with logarithmic nonlinearity

Monica Conti, Stefania Gatti, Alain Miranville

Summary: The aim of this paper is to study a perturbation of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with nonlinear terms of logarithmic type. By proving the existence, regularity and uniqueness of solutions, as well as the (strong) separation properties of the solutions from the pure states, we finally demonstrate the convergence to the Cahn-Hilliard equation on finite time intervals.

Qi Qiao

Summary: This paper investigates a volume-filling chemotaxis model with a small cell diffusion coefficient and chemotactic sensitivity. By using the geometric singular perturbation theory, the existence of a positive traveling wave connecting two constant steady states is confirmed. The monotonicity of the wave is analyzed for different parameter ranges, and spectral instability is observed in some exponentially weighted spaces.

Quasi-periodic solutions for differential equations with an elliptic equilibrium under delayed perturbation

Xiaolong He

Summary: This article employs the CWB method to construct quasi-periodic solutions for nonlinear delayed perturbation equations, and combines the techniques of Green's function estimate and the reducibility method in KAM theory to solve the linear equation, thus extending the applicability of the CWB method. As an application, it studies the positive quasi-periodic solutions for a class of Lotka-Volterra equations with quasi-periodic coefficients and time delay.

Refined probabilistic local well-posedness for a cubic Schrödinger half-wave equation

Nicolas Camps, Louise Gassot, Slim Ibrahim

Summary: In this paper, we consider the probabilistic local well-posedness problem for the Schrodinger half-wave equation with a cubic nonlinearity in quasilinear regimes. Due to the lack of probabilistic smoothing in the Picard's iterations caused by high-low-low nonlinear interactions, we need to use a refined ansatz. The proof is an adaptation of Bringmann's method on the derivative nonlinear wave equation [6] to Schrodinger-type equations. In addition, ill-posedness results for this equation are discussed.

Critical periods in planar polynomial centers near a maximum number of cusps

Peter De Maesschalck, Joan Torregrosa

Summary: This paper provides the best lower bound for the number of critical periods of planar polynomial centers known up to now. The new lower bound is obtained in the Hamiltonian class and considering a single period annulus. The key idea is the perturbation of a vector field with many cusp equilibria, which is constructed using elements of catastrophe theory.
