We discuss the fine gradient regularity of nonlinear kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in divergence form. In particular, we present gradient pointwise estimates in terms of a Riesz potential of the right-hand side, which leads to the gradient regularity results under borderline assumptions on the right-hand side.
The talk is based on a joint work with Ho-Sik Lee (Bielefeld) and Simon Nowak (Bielefeld).
In this talk, we will discuss some global regularity results for weak solutions to fractional Laplacian type equations. In particular, the operator under consideration involves a weight function satisfying appropriate ellipticity conditions. Under suitable assumptions on the weight function and the right hand side, we show some sharp global regularity results for the function u/d^s in the sense of Lebesgue, Sobolev and H¨older, where d(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω) is the distance to the boundary function. This talk is based on a joint work with S.-S. Byun and K. Kim.
In this talk, we consider the dispersion-managed nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DM NLS), which naturally arises in modeling of fiber-optic communication systems with periodically varying dispersion profiles. We discuss the well-posedness of the DM NLS and the threshold phenomenon related to the existence of minimizers for its ground states.
Abstract: In this talk, we consider the Navier-Stokes-Poisson (NSP) system which describes the dynamics of positive ions in a collision-dominated plasma. The NSP system admits a one-parameter family of smooth traveling waves, known as shock profiles. I will present my research on the stability of the shock profiles. Our analysis is based on the pointwise semigroup method, a spectral approach. We first establish spectral stability. Based on this, we obtain pointwise bounds on the Green's function for the associated linearized problem, which yield linear and nonlinear asymptotic orbital stability.
Abstract:The logistic diffusive model provides the population distribution of a species according to time under a fixed open domain in R^n, a dispersal rate, and a given resource distribution. In this talk, we discuss the solution of the model and its equilibrium. First, we show the existence, uniqueness, and regularity results of the solution and the equilibrium. Then, we investigate two contrasting behaviors of the equilibrium with respect to the dispersal rate by applying two methods for each case: sub-super solution method and asymptotic expansion. Finally, we introduce an optimizing problem of a total population of the equilibrium with respect to resource distribution and prove a significant property of an optimal control called bang-bang.

The singular limit problem is an important issue in various forms of ODEs and PDEs, and it is particularly known as a fundamental problem in equations derived from fluid dynamics. In this presentation, I will introduce some general phenomena of the singular limit problem through several examples. Subsequently, I will examine how the solution of the Euler-Maxwell equations converges to the MHD equations under the assumption that the speed of light approaches infinity, and how the Boussinesq equations converge to the QG equations in certain regimes.
In this note, we investigate threshold conditions for global well-posedness and finite-time blow-up of solutions to the focusing cubic nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation (NLKG) on $\bbR^{1+3}$ and the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on $\bbR$. Our approach is based on the Payne–Sattinger theory, which identifies invariant sets through energy functionals and conserved quantities. For NLKG, we review the Payne–Sattinger theory to establish a sharp dichotomy between global existence and blow-up. For NLS, we apply this theory with a scaling argument to construct scale-invariant thresholds, replacing the standard mass-energy conditions with a $\dot{H}^{\frac12}$-critical functional. This unified framework provides a natural derivation of global behavior thresholds for both equations.
In this talk, we will introduce vector field method for the wave equation. The key step is to establish the Klainerman-Sobolev inequality developed in [1]. Using this inequality, we will provide dispersive estimates of the linear wave equation, and prove small-data global existence for some nonlinear wave equations. The main reference will be Chapter II in [2].

Abstract:
We consider the initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for the 1D isentropic Navier-Stokes equation (NS) in the half space. Unlike the whole space problem, a boundary layer may appear due to the influence of viscosity.
In this talk, we first briefly study the asymptotic behavior for the initial value problem of NS in the whole space. Afterwards, we will present the characterization of the expected asymptotics for the IBVP of NS in the half space. Here, we focus only on the inflow problem, where the fluid velocity is positive on the boundary.
