Sign-changing tower of bubbles for a sinh-poisson equation with asymmetric exponents

Motivated by the statistical mechanics description of stationary 2D-turbulence, for a sinh-Poisson type equation with asymmetric nonlinearity, we construct a concentrating solution sequence in the form of a tower of singular Liouville bubbles, each of which has a different degeneracy exponent. The asymmetry parameter $??(0, 1]$ corresponds to the ratio between the intensity of the negatively rotating vortices and the intensity of the positively rotating vortices.

Optimal waiting time bounds for some flux-saturated diffusion equations

We consider the Cauchy problem for two prototypes of flux-saturated diffusion equations. In arbitrary space dimension, we give an optimal condition on the growth of the initial datum which discriminates between occurrence or nonoccurrence of a waiting time phenomenon. We also prove optimal upper bounds on the waiting time. Our argument is based on the introduction of suitable families of subsolutions and on a comparison result for a general class of flux-saturated diffusion equations.

Negative definite functions for Câ??-dynamical systems

Given an action ? of a discrete group G on a unital C?-algebra A, we
introduce a natural concept of ?-negative definiteness for functions from G to A,
and examine some of the first consequences of such a notion. In particular, we prove
analogs of theorems due to Delorme–Guichardet and Schoenberg in the classical case
where A is trivial. We also give a characterization of the Haagerup property for the
action ? when G is countable.

Absolutely Minimizing Lipschitz Extensions and infinity harmonic functions on the Sierpinski gasket

Aim of this note is to study the infinity Laplace operator and the corresponding Absolutely Minimizing Lipschitz Extension problem on the Sierpinski gasket in the spirit of the classical construction of Kigami for the Laplacian. We introduce a notion of infinity harmonic functions on pre-fractal sets and we show that these functions solve a Lipschitz extension problem in the discrete setting. Then we prove that the limit of the infinity harmonic functions on the pre-fractal sets solves the Absolutely Minimizing Lipschitz Extension problem on the Sierpinski gasket.
