  • inequivalent complexity criteria for Free Boundary minimal surfaces
    Advances in Mathematics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Alessandro Carlotto, Giada Franz
    Abstract:

    Abstract We obtain a series of results in the global theory of Free Boundary minimal surfaces, which in particular provide a rather complete picture for the way different complexity criteria, such as area, topology and Morse index compare, beyond the regime where effective estimates are at disposal.

  • index estimates for Free Boundary minimal hypersurfaces
    Mathematische Annalen, 2018
    Co-Authors: Lucas Ambrozio, Alessandro Carlotto, Ben Sharp
    Abstract:

    We show that the Morse index of a properly embedded Free Boundary minimal hypersurface in a strictly mean convex domain of the Euclidean space grows linearly with the dimension of its first relative homology group (which is at least as big as the number of its Boundary components, minus one). In ambient dimension three, this implies a lower bound for the index of a Free Boundary minimal surface which is linear both with respect to the genus and the number of Boundary components. Thereby, the compactness theorem by Fraser and Li implies a strong compactness theorem for the space of Free Boundary minimal surfaces with uniformly bounded Morse index inside a convex domain. Our estimates also imply that the examples constructed, in the unit ball, by Fraser–Schoen and Folha–Pacard–Zolotareva have arbitrarily large index. Extensions of our results to more general settings (including various classes of positively curved Riemannian manifolds and other convexity assumptions) are discussed.

  • compactness analysis for Free Boundary minimal hypersurfaces
    Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2018
    Co-Authors: Lucas Ambrozio, Alessandro Carlotto, Ben Sharp
    Abstract:

    We investigate compactness phenomena involving Free Boundary minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds of dimension less than eight. We provide natural geometric conditions that ensure strong one-sheeted graphical subsequential convergence, discuss the limit behaviour when multi-sheeted convergence happens and derive various consequences in terms of finiteness and topological control.

  • spreading and vanishing in the diffusive prey predator model with a Free Boundary
    Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mingxin Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper deals with the diffusive Lotka–Volterra type prey–predator model with a Free Boundary over a one dimensional habitat. This problem may be used to describe the interaction between indigenous species and invasive species and the spreading of such two species, with the Free Boundary representing the expanding front. Our main purpose is to study the spreading and vanishing phenomena and long time behaviors of prey and predator.

  • the diffusive logistic equation with a Free Boundary and sign changing coefficient
    Journal of Differential Equations, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mingxin Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This short paper concerns a diffusive logistic equation with a Free Boundary and sign-changing coefficient, which is formulated to study the spread of an invasive species, where the Free Boundary represents the expanding front. A spreading–vanishing dichotomy is derived, namely the species either successfully spreads to the right-half-space as time t → ∞ and survives (persists) in the new environment, or it fails to establish itself and will extinct in the long run. The sharp criteria for spreading and vanishing are also obtained. When spreading happens, we estimate the asymptotic spreading speed of the Free Boundary.

  • on some Free Boundary problems of the prey predator model
    Journal of Differential Equations, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mingxin Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper we investigate some Free Boundary problems for the Lotka–Volterra type prey–predator model in one space dimension. The main objective is to understand the asymptotic behavior of the two species (prey and predator) spreading via a Free Boundary. We prove a spreading–vanishing dichotomy, namely the two species either successfully spread to the entire space as time t goes to infinity and survive in the new environment, or they fail to establish and die out in the long run. The long time behavior of solution and criteria for spreading and vanishing are also obtained. Finally, when spreading successfully, we provide an estimate to show that the spreading speed (if exists) cannot be faster than the minimal speed of traveling wavefront solutions for the prey–predator model on the whole real line without a Free Boundary.

  • the diffusive logistic equation with a Free Boundary and sign changing coefficient
    arXiv: Analysis of PDEs, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mingxin Wang
    Abstract:

    This short paper concerns a diffusive logistic equation with the heterogeneous environment and a Free Boundary, which is formulated to study the spread of an invasive species, where the Free Boundary represents the expanding front. A spreading-vanishing dichotomy is derived, namely the species either successfully spreads to the right-half-space as time $t\to\infty$ and survives (persists) in the new environment, or it fails to establish and will extinct in the long run. The sharp criteria for spreading and vanishing is also obtained. When spreading happens, we estimate the asymptotic spreading speed of the Free Boundary.

  • Free Boundary problems for a lotka volterra competition system
    Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mingxin Wang, Jingfu Zhao
    Abstract:

    In this paper we investigate two Free Boundary problems for a Lotka–Volterra type competition model in one space dimension. The main objective is to understand the asymptotic behavior of the two competing species spreading via a Free Boundary. We prove a spreading-vanishing dichotomy, namely the two species either successfully spread to the right-half-space as time \(t\) goes to infinity and survive in the new environment, or they fail to establish and die out in the long run. The long time behavior of the solutions and criteria for spreading and vanishing are also obtained. This paper is an improvement and extension of Guo and Wu (J Dyn Differ Equ 24:873–895, 2012).

  • Free Boundary Problem Concerning Pricing Convertible Bond1
    2016
    Co-Authors: Zhou Yang
    Abstract:

    Abstract: In this paper we consider some behaviors of the optimal conver-sion boundaries (i.e., Free boundaries) of American-style convertible bond with finite horizon in some case. The bond’s holder may convert it into the stock of its issued firm at any time before maturity, and the firm may call it at any time before maturity. Its pricing model is a parabolic variational inequality, in which the fundamental variables are time and the stock price of the bond’s issuer. We achieve some properties of the Free Boundary, besides the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the variational inequality, such as: the monotonicity, the boundedness, smoothness and its starting point. More-over, we analyze the relationship between the Free Boundary and the pa-rameters in the problem, as well as, obtain the critical condition where the Free Boundary is a constant independent of time

  • Free Boundary problem concerning pricing convertible bond
    Mathematical Methods in The Applied Sciences, 2011

    Abstract:

    In this paper, we consider some behaviors of the optimal conversion boundaries (i.e. Free boundaries) of American-style convertible bond with finite horizon in some case. The bond's holder may convert it into the stock of its issued firm at any time before maturity, and the firm may call it at any time before maturity. Its pricing model is a parabolic variational inequality, in which the fundamental variables are time and the stock price of the bond's issuer.  We achieve some properties of the Free Boundary, besides the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the variational inequality, such as: the monotonicity, the boundedness, smoothness and its starting point. Moreover, we analyze the relationship between the Free Boundary and the parameters in the problem, as well as, obtain the critical condition where the Free Boundary is a constant independent of time.

  • erratum to least supersolution approach to regularizing Free Boundary problems
    Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2009
    Co-Authors: Diego R Moreira
    Abstract:

    The paper [2], Least supersolution approach to regularizing Free Boundary problems. Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 191 (2009), no. 1, 97–141, deals with a class of regularizing elliptic Free Boundary problems that are models in combustion theory. More specifically, we study the limit Free Boundary problem arising from passing the limit as e → 0 of the following family of semilinear equations u = βe(u)F(∇u) in (SEe)

  • least supersolution approach to regularizing Free Boundary problems
    Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2009
    Co-Authors: Diego R Moreira
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we study a Free Boundary problem obtained as a limit as e → 0 to the following regularizing family of semilinear equations \({\Delta u = \beta_{\varepsilon}(u) F(\nabla u)}\) , where βe approximates the Dirac delta in the origin and F is a Lipschitz function bounded away from 0 and infinity. The least supersolution approach is used to construct solutions satisfying geometric properties of the level surfaces that are uniform in e. This allows to prove that the Free Boundary of a limit has the “right” weak geometry, in the measure theoretical sense. By the construction of some barriers with curvature, the classification of global profiles of the blow-up analysis is carried out and the limit functions are proven to be viscosity and pointwise solution (\({\mathcal{H}^{n-1}}\) almost everywhere) to a Free Boundary problem. Finally, the Free Boundary is proven to be a C1,α surface around \({\mathcal{H}^{n-1}}\) almost everywhere point.
