Solutions of the space-fractional heat equation with polynomial growth: Liouville theorems and Schauder estimates

Serena Dipierro, Ovidiu Savin, Enrico Valdinoci +1

With the aim of extending to parabolic equations the framework developed by the first three authors in [Dipierro, Savin, and Valdinoci, Rev. Mat. Iberoam. (2019)], we introduce a n…

Active Approach to Fast Quantum State Preparation and Reset in Atomic Arrays

Ya-Tang Yu, Wei-Hsuan Chung, Tian-Shu Gou +2

Rapid preparation of a target quantum state and reset to the many-body ground state are essential for quantum information processing. Here, we investigate both processes in a waveg…

Kernel representations of fractional gradient bilinear forms. Part I. Constant coefficients

Serena Dipierro, Caterina Sportelli, Enrico Valdinoci

We study the representation of bilinear forms associated with Riesz fractional gradients by symmetric integral kernels. Motivated by [SS18, Open Problem 1.10], we give a complete d…

Dissolution and nucleation of jump discontinuities for one-dimensional periodic peridynamic waves

Giuseppe Maria Coclite, Serena Dipierro, Francesco Maddalena +2

We analyze solutions to a one-dimensional periodic linear model for peridynamic waves, focusing on the setting where the natural energy space allows for spatial discontinuities. Ex…

A free boundary analysis of tumor invasion driven by angiogenesis

Serena Dipierro, Edoardo Proietti Lippi, Caterina Sportelli +1

We discuss a free boundary model for tumor invasion that describes a cloud of cells that diffuse and, at the same time, are drifted along the vector field of the chemotactic direct…
