Regularization of the superposition principle: Potential theory meets Fokker-Planck equations

This paper advances the superposition principle for Fokker-Planck equations by constructing a full-fledged right Markov process under general measurability conditions, thereby resolving the open problem of establishing the strong Markov property and enabling new probabilistic solutions to the parabolic Dirichlet problem and flow constructions for both linear and nonlinear cases, including the generalized porous media equation.

Besov regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the Bessel (p,s)(p,s)-Laplacian

This paper establishes global Besov regularity estimates for weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem of a fractional pp-Laplacian defined via the Riesz fractional gradient by combining Lions-Calderón spaces, Besov embeddings, and an adapted Nirenberg difference quotient method, yielding specific regularity indices that depend on the interplay between the order ss and the exponent pp in both superquadratic and subquadratic regimes.

The Extra Vanishing Structure and Nonlinear Stability of Multi-Dimensional Rarefaction Waves: The Geometric Weighted Energy Estimates

This paper establishes the nonlinear stability of multi-dimensional rarefaction waves for the compressible Euler equations by introducing a novel Geometric Weighted Energy Method that overcomes derivative loss issues through the identification of a hidden vanishing structure in the top-order derivatives of the characteristic speed.

Attenuation of long waves through regions of irregular floating ice and bathymetry

This paper presents a revised, energy-conserving theoretical model for the attenuation of long waves through regions of irregular floating ice and random bathymetry, which corrects previous over-predictions by utilizing ensemble averaging of transfer matrix eigenvalues and successfully reproduces key features of field data, including frequency-dependent attenuation rates and high-frequency roll-over effects.

On well-posedness for parabolic Cauchy problems of Lions type with rough initial data

This paper establishes a comprehensive well-posedness theory for parabolic Cauchy problems with time-independent, uniformly elliptic, bounded measurable complex coefficients, demonstrating that tempered distributions in homogeneous Hardy–Sobolev or Besov spaces serve as valid initial data for weak solutions with gradients in weighted tent spaces when source terms are of Lions' type.

On the attenuation of waves through broken ice of randomly-varying thickness on water of finite depth

This paper extends a theoretical model of wave attenuation through broken floating ice of random thickness to finite water depths, utilizing multiple scales analysis to derive an explicit attenuation expression that predicts an eighth-power frequency dependence at low frequencies and shows strong agreement with numerical simulations and field measurements.
