Abstract:

Partial differential equations are a fundamental tool for modeling various physical phenomena and engineering problems. For example, oil flows in rock grains, turbulent filtration processes, groundwater flows, shallow water waves, phase changes of materials, and traffic congestion problems. The relevant PDEs are non-linear, and present certain degenerate and/or singular nature. Important examples include but are not limited to the porous medium equation, the p-Laplace equation, the total variation flow, the Stefan problem, doubly non-linear parabolic equations, widely degenerate equations, as well as related non-local equations.

Topics of the workshop include: (1) ​Gradient regularity for the porous medium/fast diffusion equation, (2) Wiener's criterion for non-linear parabolic equations, (3) Boundary Harnack estimates, (4) Regularity theory for Stefan-type problems, (5) Regularity theory for widely degenerate equations.

The workshop aims to provide a broad platform for researchers in the field and particularly to encourage young researchers to present their works.
