A well-known diffuse interface model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations nonlinearly coupled with a convective Cahn-Hilliard type equation. This system describes the evolution of an incompressible isothermal mixture of binary fluids and it has been investigated by many authors. Here we consider a variant of this model where the standard Cahn-Hilliard equation is replaced by its nonlocal version. More precisely, the gradient term in the free energy functional is replaced by a spatial convolution operator acting on the order parameter phi, while the potential F may have any polynomial growth. Therefore the coupling with the Navier-Stokes equations is difficult to handle even in two spatial dimensions because of the lack of regularity of phi. We establish the global existence of a weak solution. In the two-dimensional case we also prove that such a solution satisfies the energy identity and a dissipative estimate, provided that F fulfills a suitable coercivity condition.

Stabilisation of a linearised Cahn-Hilliard system for phase separation by proportional boundary feedbacks

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Ionut Munteanu

Summary: This work presents the first contribution to the problem of boundary stabilization for the Cahn-Hilliard type phase field system, with a feedback controller designed to act only on the temperature flow of the system on one part of the boundary. The controller, of proportional type and expressed in terms of Laplace operator eigenfunctions, ensures that the closed loop nonlinear system exponentially reaches the prescribed stationary solution as long as the initial datum is sufficiently close to it.

Optimal Control Problems with Sparsity for Tumor Growth Models Involving Variational Inequalities

Pierluigi Colli, Andrea Signori, Jurgen Sprekels

Summary: This paper addresses a distributed optimal control problem for a tumor growth model of Cahn-Hilliard type, which involves a double obstacle nonlinearity given by a variational inequality corresponding to the associated potential. Using the deep quench approximation and recent results, the paper derives first-order necessary conditions of optimality and extends them to the double obstacle case by deducing a variational inequality in terms of the associated adjoint state variables. Furthermore, the paper obtains sparsity results for the optimal controls using the resulting variational inequality.

THE CAHN-HILLIARD EQUATION WITH FORWARD-BACKWARD DYNAMIC BOUNDARY CONDITION VIA VANISHING VISCOSITY

Pierluigi Colli, Takeshi Fukao, Luca Scarpa

Summary: This paper presents an asymptotic analysis for a system with a Cahn-Hilliard type equation and a dynamic boundary condition. The study focuses on the case where the coefficient of surface diffusion approaches zero, resulting in a forward-backward dynamic boundary condition at the limit. It is found that the solution loses some regularity during the limiting procedure, but the limit problem remains well-posed. Additionally, it is shown that the solution exhibits more regularity and the boundary condition holds almost everywhere when the two graphs have the same growth.

A Cahn-Hilliard system with forward-backward dynamic boundary condition and non-smooth potentials

Pierluigi Colli, Takeshi Fukao, Luca Scarpa

Summary: This article considers a system with a Cahn-Hilliard-type equation and dynamic boundary condition. By analyzing the problem under consideration, we obtained the asymptotic behavior when the surface diffusion coefficient of the boundary phase variable approaches 0, as well as the dynamic boundary condition at the limit. Furthermore, we proved that the solution of the limit problem is more regular and provided an error estimate for a suitable order of the diffusion parameter.

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A NONCONSERVED PHASE FIELD MODEL OF CAGINALP TYPE WITH THERMAL MEMORY AND DOUBLE OBSTACLE POTENTIAL

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Andrea Signori, Juergen Sprekels

Summary: In this paper, optimal control problems for a nonlinear state system modeling nonisothermal phase transitions with a nonconserved order parameter are investigated. The system consists of two nonlinearly coupled partial differential equations governing phase dynamics and internal energy balance law. The study extends recent results for optimal control problems with a differentiable phase transition free energy to the nonsmooth case of a double obstacle potential. By utilizing the deep quench approach, meaningful first-order necessary optimality conditions are established for the double obstacle potential.

Well-posedness for a diffusion-reaction compartmental model simulating the spread of COVID-19

Ferdinando Auricchio, Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Alessandro Reali, Elisabetta Rocca

Summary: This paper focuses on the well-posedness of a diffusion-reaction system for a susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) mathematical model. The model consists of four nonlinear partial differential equations with nonlinear diffusions dependent on the total SEIR population. It aims to describe the spatio-temporal spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and is a variation of a model introduced, discussed, and tested by Viguerie et al. (2020). The paper presents a mathematical analysis of the resulting Cauchy-Neumann problem, proving the existence of solutions in a general setting and employing a suitable time discretization procedure. It also provides uniqueness theorems for cases with constant diffusion coefficient and more regular data, along with a regularity result for the solutions.

SOLVABILITY AND SLIDING MODE CONTROL FOR THE VISCOUS CAHN-HILLIARD SYSTEM WITH A POSSIBLY SINGULAR POTENTIAL

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Gabriela Marinoschi

Summary: In this study, a viscous Cahn-Hilliard system with an additional leading term in the chemical potential is explored, showing existence and continuous dependence results under homogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. By assuming specific conditions for the subdifferential operator, regularity results are demonstrated, along with the sliding mode property under certain conditions for the Dirichlet boundary. The results are applicable to a general and potentially singular multi-well potential acting on the phase variable.

Geunsu Choi, Mingu Jung, Sun Kwang Kim, Miguel Martin

Summary: This paper studies weak-star quasi norm attaining operators and proves that the set of such operators is dense in the space of bounded linear operators regardless of the choice of Banach spaces. It is also shown that weak-star quasi norm attaining operators have distinct properties from other types of norm attaining operators, although they may share some equivalent properties under certain conditions.

The continuity in q of the Lupaş q-analogues of the Bernstein operators

Ovgue Gurel Yilmaz, Sofiya Ostrovska, Mehmet Turan

Summary: The Lupas q-analogue Rn,q, the first q-version of the Bernstein polynomials, was originally proposed by A. Lupas in 1987 but gained popularity 20 years later when q-analogues of classical operators in approximation theory became a focus of intensive research. This work investigates the continuity of operators Rn,q with respect to the parameter q in both the strong operator topology and the uniform operator topology, considering both fixed and infinite n.

On a parametric family of distance measures that includes the Hellinger and the Bures distances

Abel Komalovics, Lajos Molnar

Summary: In this paper, a parametric family of two-variable maps on positive cones of C*-algebras is defined and studied from various perspectives. The square roots of the values of these maps under a faithful tracial positive linear functional are considered as a family of potential distance measures. The study explores the problem of well-definedness and whether these distance measures are true metrics, and also provides some related trace characterizations. Several difficult open questions are formulated.

Second order optimality conditions for minimization on a general set. Part 1: Applications to mathematical programming

Helene Frankowska, Nikolai P. Osmolovskii

Summary: This paper investigates second-order optimality conditions for the minimization problem of a C2 function f on a general set K in a Banach space X. Both necessary and sufficient conditions are discussed, with the sufficiency condition requiring additional assumptions. The paper demonstrates the validity of these assumptions for the case when the set K is an intersection of sets described by smooth inequalities and equalities, such as in mathematical programming problems. The novelty of the approach lies in the arbitrary nature of the set K and the straightforward proofs.

Extrapolation in new weighted grand Morrey spaces beyond the Muckenhoupt classes

Alexander Meskhi

Summary: Rubio de Francia's extrapolation theorem is established for new weighted grand Morrey spaces Mp),lambda,theta w (X) with weights w beyond the Muckenhoupt Ap classes. This result implies the one-weight inequality for operators of Harmonic Analysis in these spaces for appropriate weights. The necessary conditions for the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and the Hilbert transform in these spaces are also obtained. Some structural properties of new weighted grand Morrey spaces are investigated. Problems are studied in the case when operators and spaces are defined on spaces of homogeneous type.

Optimal extensions of Lipschitz maps on metric spaces of measurable functions

Pilar Rueda, Enrique A. Sanchez Perez

Summary: We prove a factorization theorem for Lipschitz operators acting on certain subsets of metric spaces of measurable functions and with values on general metric spaces. Our results show how a Lipschitz operator can be extended to a subset of other metric space of measurable functions that satisfies the following optimality condition: it is the biggest metric space, formed by measurable functions, to which the operator can be extended preserving the Lipschitz constant. Also, we demonstrate the coarsest metric that can be given for a metric space in which an order bounded lattice-valued-Lipschitz map is defined, and provide concrete examples involving the relevant space L0(mu).
