We prove generalized Fefferman-Stein type theorems on sharp functions with Ap weights in spaces of homogeneous type with either finite or infinite underlying measure. We then apply these results to establish mixed-norm weighted Lp-estimates for elliptic and parabolic equations/systems with (partially) BMO coefficients in regular or irregular domains.

This note studies the Monge-Ampère Keller–Segel equation in a periodic domain , a fully nonlinear modification of the Keller–Segel equation where the Monge-Ampère equation substitutes for the usual Poisson equation . The existence of global weak solutions is obtained for this modified equation. Moreover, we prove the regularity in for some .

In this paper, we investigate the qualitative properties of positive solutions for a two-coupled elliptic system in the punctured space. We establish a monotonicity formula that completely characterizes the singularity of positive solutions. We prove a sharp global estimate for both components of positive solutions. We also prove the nonexistence of positive semi-singular solutions, which means that one component is bounded near the singularity and the other component is unbounded near the singularity.

Given any suitably small, localized, and smooth initial data, in this paper, we prove global regularity for the 3D finite depth gravity water wave system. As a byproduct, we rule out the small, localized traveling waves in 3D, which do exist for the same system in 2D.

Two nonlinear diffusion equations for thin film epitaxy, with or without slope selection, are studied in this work. The nonlinearity models the Ehrlich–Schwoebel effect – the kinetic asymmetry in attachment and detachment of adatoms to and from terrace boundaries. Both perturbation analysis and numerical simulation are presented to show that such an atomistic effect is the origin of a nonlinear morphological instability, in a rough-smooth-rough pattern, that has been experimentally observed as transient in an early stage of epitaxial growth on rough surfaces. Initial-boundary-value problems for both equations are proven to be well-posed, and the solution regularity is also obtained. Galerkin spectral approximations are studied to provide both a priori bounds for proving the well-posedness and numerical schemes for simulation. Numerical results are presented to confirm part of the analysis and to explore the difference between the two models on coarsening dynamics.
