Sturm Oscillation Theory for Nonlocal Equations
NAuthor : Peter Bates
Abstract : In 1836 Sturm published two papers in Liouville’s J. Math. Pures et Appl., giving his famous comparison and oscillation theorems. In its simplest form, Sturm’s comparison result is the following.
Theorem. Let q1(x) ≤ q2(x) be not identically equal on [a,b]. Let u be a nontrivial solution to u” + q1(x)u = 0 on [a,b], and let v be a solution to v” + q2(x)v = 0 on [a,b]. Suppose that u(a) = u(b) = 0. Then v has at least one zero in (a,b).
One may ask if there is a discrete version of this. There is, where the second derivative operator is replaced by the usual finite difference approximation, as has been observed by many people. Furthermore, it continues to hold for more general tri-diagonal operators. The second derivative operator may also be approximated by a discretization which includes next nearest neighbor interactions. Does the above theorem hold for such penta-diagonal operators? Answer: Not in general, as I will show with an example.
In another direction, being the main point of this presentation, one can replace the second derivative operator by a bounded integral operator, resulting in a nonlocal diffusion-like operator. Can one prove a similar comparison theorem? I will discuss the case where u′′ is replaced by

where J ≥ 0 is continuous, even, with compact support and J(0) > 0. More generally, I will examine the case when the nonlocal diffusion operator is replaced by a scaled version in R n, namely,

ε > 0 and small, and where Ω in R n is smoothly bounded, and J is radially symmetric. This operator converges, in some sense, to a multiple of the Laplacian, as ε → 0, and so the question arises as to whether or not a Sturm-like comparison theorem holds for this operator when ε is sufficiently small. This is joint work with Guangyu Zhao (UNLV).
Existence of Infinitely Many Radial Solutions for Quasilinear Elliptic Problems
Author : Jorge Cossio
Co-Authors : Alfonso Castro, Rosa Pardo, Sigifredo Herrón, and Carlos Vélez
Abstract : The talk will be concerned with the existence of infinitely many sign-changing radial solutions for quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations in a ball with the principal part given by the p-Laplacian operator and a nonlinearity that is super-linear at infinity. We consider quasilinear problems where the nonlinearity involves an indefinite weight function. For surfaces of revolution, we discuss the existence of infinitely many sign-changing rotationally symmetric solutions to a wide class of p-Laplace-Beltrami equations with polynomial-like nonlinearities.
We showcase the effectiveness of tools from the theory of ordinary differential equations, such as the shooting method, phase-plane and energy analysis, and the examination of initial value problems, in obtaining the existence of multiple radial solutions for quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. We discuss these problems and present recent results.
Existence and Properties of Traveling Fronts for (q,r) – Relativistic Equations
Author : Pavel Drábek
Co-Authors : Maurizio Garrione and Michaela Zahradníková
Abstract : We introduce a new reaction-diffusion model governed by a (q,r)-relativistic type diffusion, extending the p-relativistic case and encompassing both singular and degenerate diffusivity. For monostable reactions, we establish existence of decreasing traveling fronts, exploiting the study of an equivalent first-order ODE with homogenous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We then analyze asymptotic properties of the fronts by means of comparison principles.
Explorations in Active Matter : Self-Avoidant Droplets and Colonies of Single-Point Swimmers
Author : Lisa Fauci
Co-Authors : Sang-Eun Lee, Hongfei Chen, Hoa Nguyen, Ricardo Cortez, and Christina Hamlet
Abstract : The collective behavior of discrete particles is mediated by the environment in which they are immersed, such as a chemical field or a surrounding incompressible fluid. The immersed boundary framework captures the interaction of Lagrangian particles with an underlying Eulerian description of the environment. Here we discuss this framework in the context of two models. First, motivated by autophoretic droplets that move in response to a self-produced chemical gradient, we examine the collective dynamics of individual motile particles using a reaction-diffusion system. The particles have an unlimited supply of a chemical, secrete it at a given rate, but are anti-chemotactic and move in the direction of maximal decrease of this chemical. In both one-and two-dimensional periodic domains, we find intriguing long-time behavior of the system. For certain values of a non-dimensional parameter that involves secretion rate, coupling coefficient, domain size and diffusion, we find that the particles either relax to regularly spaced arrays, approach these regular arrays with damped oscillation, or exhibit undamped, periodic trajectories. For high enough values of this parameter, the droplets exhibit ballistic motion and interact with the trails of the other droplets. Our second example is a model of a multicellular microbial colony, Choanoeca flexa. Individual cells form cup-like colonies that can turn inside-out so flagella line the cup’s interior or cover its outside surface. We present a reduced model that examines the hydrodynamic implications on swimming and feeding for these different states. We also present a minimal single-point model of a swimmer in an inertial regime, which is an extension of a force doublet model in a Stokesian fluid where inertia is absent.
An Overview of Structure Preserving Approximation of Nonlinear Conservation Equations
Author : Jean-Luc Guermond
Abstract : Realistic physical models of conservation equations are highly nonlinear systems of partial differential equations (PDE). Proving existence and uniqueness of solutions to these PDE systems is very often beyond reach, and in some cases the models are known to be ill-posed. In absence of a strong mathematical framework guaranteeing some form of compactness and well-posedness, one is lead to construct approximation techniques that (in addition to being consistent, of course) preserve key structures of the PDE system. For instance if the solution map to a problem is known to map pointwise data to a convex subset of ℝm, then a structure preserving approximation method would be one that ensures that the approximate solution map does the same. This concept is a multi-dimensional generalization of the maximum principle. Techniques satisfying this type of property are called invariant-domain preserving. It also often desirable to make sure that approximate solutions exactly solve a problem in some canonical situations. For instance, if a fluid flow is in hydrostatic equilibrium, one would like the approximate solution to satisfy this equilibrium as well. If the free surface of a lake is a rest, one would like the approximate model to deliver a solution that is also at rest. Approximation techniques that satisfy this type of property are said to be well-balanced. Many other forms of structures can be identified and preserved: involutions (think of Gauss laws of magnetism); asymptotic limits with respect to some model parameter; etc. In this talk I will give a brief overview of the state of the art on structure preserving approximation techniques for nonlinear conservation equations.
Dispersive Tsunami Modeling with Adaptive Mesh Refinement
Author : Randy LeVeque
Abstract : The open source GeoClaw software (distributed as part of Clawpack) implements the two-dimensional shallow water equations (SWE) over topography in a well-balanced manner, and is widely used for modeling tsunamis, storm surge, river flooding, and other natural hazards over large spatial extents. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is heavily used in most applications, e.g. to efficiently track a tsunami across the ocean and then zoom in to meter-scale resolution in a coastal region of interest, where inundation is modeled by robust wetting-and-drying algorithms. For many applications the SWE are a good model, e.g. for large earthquake-generated tsunamis with a long wavelength relative to the ocean depth. For shorter wavelength phenomena (e.g. tsunamis generated by landslides or asteroid impacts), the SWE do not properly capture the dispersive nature of the waves. In recent joint work with Marsha Berger, a version of depth-averaged Boussinesq equations have been implemented in GeoClaw to better model such phenomena.
The primary difficulty is that the higher-order derivatives in this model require implicit solvers, which are more challenging to implement in an efficient and stable manner in the context of AMR than the explicit finite volume methods used for SWE. I will discuss these issues and show some computational results obtained as part of the NASA-funded Asteroid Threat Assessment Project.
Alfonso Castro : A Love Story with Nonlinear Analysis and Partial Differential Equations
Author : Jean Mawhin
Abstract : We describe, in an impressionist manner, the striking contributions of Alfonso Castro to nonlinear analysis, critical point theory, ordinary and partial differential equations from his PhD thesis under Alan C. Lazer’s direction to his most recent papers.
The emphasis is put on their blend of unity and diversity, and on his signif- icant role in promoting and encouraging mathematical collaboration.
Singular Solutions of Elliptic Equations in Two Dimensions
Author : Bernhard Ruf
Abstract : We investigate singular solutions of the semi-linear elliptic equation −∆u = f(u) in two dimensions, where f(u) exhibits exponential-type nonlinearities. By introducing a refined classification of nonlinearities based on their growth rate, singular solutions are constructed using a model nonlinearity and a transformation technique. The singular solutions are characterized by their blow-up behavior near the origin and are extended to solve the Dirichlet boundary value problem in punctured domains.
We show that these singular solutions on the punctured disk B \ {0} are also very weak (distributional) solutions on the whole disk B. Finally, we show that these solutions taken as initial data of an associated heat equation give rise to non-uniqueness.
Some PDE Problems Arising in Fluid Flow
Author : L. Ridgway Scott
Abstract : We describe some challenging PDE problems arising in different areas of fluid dynamics, some of which are completely open. One relates to the periodicity of the Karman vortex street. Another has to do with regularity and other restrictions on Tanner duality for non-Newtonian fluids. A third relates to regularity of transport equation solutions with inhomogeneous inflow conditions.

Abstracts submission Window Is now open
All presenters must register for the conference. Remember to register early as space is limited.
Abstract File Instructions
An abstract is a one-paragraph summary of your research project. It should provide a concise overview of the context and scope of your work. Please follow this check-list when submitting the abstract for your presentation as part of your conference registration:
- The language should be understandable by a non-specialist.
- In your presentation title, avoid, if possible, any mathematical symbols; if you must use them then include the corresponding LaTeX code. Never include LaTeX code with user-defined commands because such a piece of code cannot be compiled outside your source file.
- If you are an undergraduate, for your abstract to be considered you will need to provide contact information of your faculty research mentor in the submission form. Furthermore, please ask your faculty research mentor to email Yi Zhang endorsing the submitted abstract at y_zhang7@uncg.edu.
Submission Instructions
There will two categories of abstracts; general and undergraduate. Each will have a different submission link and set of instructions. Be sure to read instructions carefully before you begin a submission form.
For your abstract to be considered, you will need to have first registered for the UNCG PDE 2025 Conference. Once your name appears on the Registration Page, you may submit an abstract using the same contact information as you did for your registration form.
Each presenter may only submit one abstract.
Once submitted, an abstract can only be updated by contacting Yi Zhang at y_zhang7@uncg.edu.
