The Cahn--Hilliard equation with anisotropic energy contributions frequently appears in many physical systems. Systematic analytical results for the case with the relevant logarithmic free energy have been missing so far. We close this gap and show existence, uniqueness, regularity, and separation properties of weak solutions to the anisotropic Cahn--Hilliard equation with logarithmic free energy. Since firstly, the equation becomes highly non-linear, and secondly, the relevant anisotropies are non-smooth, the analysis becomes quite involved. In particular, new regularity results for quasilinear elliptic equations of second order need to be shown.

We consider a phase-field model which describes the interactions between the blood flow and the thrombus. The latter is supposed to be a viscoelastic material. The potential describing the cohesive energy of the mixture is assumed to be of Flory-Huggins type (i.e. logarithmic). This ensures the boundedness from below of the dissipation energy. In the two dimensional case, we prove the local (in time) existence and uniqueness of a strong solution, provided that the two viscosities of the pure fluid phases are close enough. We also show that the order parameter remains strictly separated from the pure phases if it is so at the initial time.

Fluid diffusion in unsaturated porous media manifests strong hysteresis effects due to surface tension on the liquid-gas interface. We describe hysteresis in the pressure-saturation relation by means of the Preisach operator, which makes the resulting evolutionary PDE strongly degenerate. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a strong global solution in arbitrary space dimension using a special weak convexity concept.

In this paper, we first prove the stability equivalence between a linear autonomous and cooperative functional differential equation (FDE) and its associated autonomous and cooperative system without time delay. Then we present the theory of basic reproduction number $mathcal{R}_0$ for general autonomous FDEs. As an illustrative example, we also establish the threshold dynamics for a time-delayed population model of black-legged ticks in terms of $mathcal{R}_0$.

. The two-relaxation-time collision operator in discrete kinetic theory models collisions between particles by grouping them into pairs with anti-parallel velocities. It prescribes a linear relaxation towards equilibrium with one rate for the even combination of distribution functions for each pair, and another rate for the odd combination. We reformulate this collision operator using relaxation rates for the forward-propagating and backward-propagating combinations instead. An optimal pair of relaxation rates sets the forward-propagating combination of each pair of distributions to equilibrium. Only the backward-propagating non-equilibrium distributions remain. Applying this result twice gives closed discrete equations for evolving the macroscopic variables alone across three time levels. We split the equivalent equations into a first-order system: a conservation law and a kinetic equation for the flux. All other quantities are evaluated at equilibrium. We apply this formalism to the magnetic field in a lattice Boltzmann scheme for magnetohydrodynamics. The antisymmetric part of the kinetic equation matches the Maxwell–Faraday equation and Ohm’s law. The symmetric part matches the hyperbolic divergence cleaning model. The discrete divergence of the magnetic field remains zero, to within round-off error, when the initial magnetic field is the discrete curl of a vector potential. We have thus constructed a mimetic or constrained transport scheme for magnetohydrodynamics.
