We introduce a cellular automaton model coupled with a transport equation for flows on graphs. The direction of the flow is described by a switching process where the switching probability dynamically changes according to the value of the transported quantity in the neighboring cells. A motivation is pedestrian dynamics in a small corridor where the propagation of people in a part of the corridor can be either left or rightgoing. Under the assumptions of propagation of chaos and mean-field limit, we derive a master equation and the corresponding meanfield kinetic and macroscopic models. Steady--states are computed and analyzed analytically and exhibit the possibility of multiple meta-stable states and hysteresis.

We give a partial converse to [8, Theorem 1.3] (as a resolution of [2, Problem 8.4] for the quasiconformal Q-composition) for Q0<α<2−1(Rn≥2), and yet demonstrate that if f:R2→R2 is a homeomorphism then the boundedness of u↦u∘f on Q2−1<α<1(R2)⊂BMO(R2) yields the quasiconformality of f.

We consider admissible weak solutions to the compressible Euler system with source terms, which include rotating shallow water system and the Euler system with damping as special examples. In the case of anti-symmetric sources such as rotations, for general piecewise Lipschitz initial densities and some suitably constructed initial momentum, we obtain infinitely many global admissible weak solutions. Furthermore, we construct a class of finite-states admissible weak solutions to the Euler system with anti-symmetric sources. Under the additional smallness assumption on the initial densities, we also obtain multiple global-in-time admissible weak solutions for more general sources including damping. The basic framework are based on the convex integration method developed by De~Lellis and Sz\'{e}kelyhidi \cite{dLSz1,dLSz2} for the Euler system. One of the main ingredients of this paper is the construction of specified localized plane wave perturbations which are compatible with a given source term.

Abstract In this note we establish the uniform (Formula presented.)-bound for the weak solutions to a degenerate Keller-Segel equation with the diffusion exponent (Formula presented.) under a sharp condition on the initial data for the global existence. As a consequence, the uniqueness of the weak solutions is also proved.

In this paper we prove that the second (non-trivial) Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on smooth domains of RN with prescribed measure m attains its maximum on the union of two disjoint balls of measure m/2. As a consequence, the Pólya conjecture for the Neumann eigenvalues holds for the second eigenvalue and for arbitrary domains. We moreover prove that a relaxed form of the same inequality holds in the context of non-smooth domains and densities.
