We extend the weighted gradient estimate for solutions of nonlinear PDE associated to the prescribed $ k $-th $ L^p $-area measure problem to the case $ 0 < p < 1 $. The estimate yields non-collapsing estimate for symmetric convex bodied with prescribed $ L^p $-area measures.
我们将给定的$ k $- $ L^p $-面积测度问题的非线性偏微分方程解的加权梯度估计推广到$ 0 < p < 1 $的情况。该估计得到了具有给定L^p $-面积测度的对称凸体的非坍缩估计。

In most results concerning bounds on the heat transport in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection problem no-slip boundary conditions for the velocity field are assumed. Nevertheless it is debatable, whether these boundary conditions reflect the behavior of the fluid at the boundary. This problem is important in theoretical fluid mechanics as well as in industrial applications, as the choice of boundary conditions has effects in the description of the boundary layers and its properties. In this review we want to explore the relation between boundary conditions and heat transport properties in turbulent convection. For this purpose, we present a selection of contributions in the theory of rigorous bounds on the Nusselt number, distinguishing and comparing results for no-slip, free-slip and Navier-slip boundary conditions.

We establish the equivalence between weak and viscosity solutions for non-homogeneous $ p(x) $-Laplace equations with a right-hand side term depending on the spatial variable, the unknown, and its gradient. We employ inf- and sup-convolution techniques to state that viscosity solutions are also weak solutions, and comparison principles to prove the converse. The new aspects of the $ p(x) $-Laplacian compared to the constant case are the presence of $ log $-terms and the lack of the invariance under translations.

Our aim is to study the total variation flow in metric graphs. First, we define the functions of bounded variation in metric graphs and their total variation, we also give an integration by parts formula. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions and that the solutions reach the mean of the initial data in finite time. Moreover, we obtain explicit solutions.

We investigate the relation between energy minimizing maps valued into spheres having topological singularities at given points and optimal networks connecting them (e.g., Steiner trees, Gilbert-Steiner irrigation networks). We show the equivalence of the corresponding variational problems, interpreting in particular the branched optimal transport problem as a homological Plateau problem for rectifiable currents with values in a suitable normed group. This generalizes the pioneering work by Brezis, Coron and Lieb [10].

The goal of this paper is to discuss some of the results in the author's previous papers and expand upon the work there by proving two new results: a global weak existence result as well as a first bubbling analysis for the half-harmonic gradient flow in finite time. In addition, an alternative local existence proof to the one provided in [47] is presented based on a fixed-point argument. This preliminary bubbling analysis leads to two potential outcomes for the possibility of finite-time bubbling until a conjecture by Sire, Wei and Zheng, see [40], is settled: Either there always exists a global smooth solution to the half-harmonic gradient flow without concentration of energy in finite-time, which still allows for the formation of half-harmonic bubbles as $ t to +infty $, or finite-time bubbling may occur in a similar way as for the harmonic gradient flow due to energy concentration in finitely many points. In the first part of the introduction to this paper, we provide a survey of the theory of harmonic and fractional harmonic maps and the associated gradient flows. For clarity's sake, we restrict our attention to the case of spherical target manifolds $ S^{n-1} $, but our discussion extends to the general case after taking care of technicalities associated with arbitrary closed target manifolds $ N $ (cf. [48]).
