Title: Greens function for initial-boundary value problem
Abstract :
In this talk, we will present an approach to construct the Greens function for an initial boundary value problem with precise pointwise structure in the space-time domain. This approach is given in terms of transform variable and physical variable. The mixed algebraic structure in the transform variable gives the large time asymptotic nature of the differential equation. One also uses the algebraic structure in the fundamental solution. Finally, the hybrid of transform variable and physics variable to a precise pointwise space-time structure of the solution of an initial boundary value problem.

Title: Global existence for some transport equations with nonlocal velocity
Abstract :
In this talk, we consider nonlocal and quadratically nonlinear transport equations. Prototypical examples are the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, the incompressible porous medium equation, Stokes equations, magnetogeostrophic equation and their variants. Among them, we address the global existence of weak solutions of an 1D model of the quasi-geostrophic equation and the full 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations. To this end, we carefully choose dissipative quantities to minimize conditions of initial data using entropies.

Title: Compactness and Dirichlet's Principle
Abstract :
In this talk, we explore the emergence of the notion of compactness within its historical beginning through rigor versus intuition modes in the treatment of Dirichlet`s principle. We emphasize on the intuition in Riemann`s statement on the principle criticized by Weierstrass`requirement of rigor followed by Hilbert`s restatement again criticized by Hadamard, which pushed the ascension of the notion of compactness in the analysis of PDEs. A brief overview of some techniques and problems involving compactness is presented illustrating the importance of this notion.
Compactness is discussed here to raise educational issues regarding rigor vs intuition in mathematical studies. The concept of compactness advanced rapidly after Weierstrass's famous criticism of Riemann's use of the Dirichlet principle. The rigor of Weierstrass contributed to establishment of the concept of compactness, but such a focus on rigor blinded mathematicians to big pictures. Fortunately, Poincare and Hilbert defended Riemann's use of the Dirichlet principle and found a balance between rigor and intuition. There is no theorem without rigor, but we should not be a slave of rigor. Rigor (highly detailed examination with toy models) and intuition (broader view with real models) are essentially complementary to each other.

Title: The mass transportation theory and its applications
Abstract :
We introduce the Wasserstein distance on the set of probability measure of bounded second moments. We describe its geodesics and study several constrained variational problems in the Wasserstein metric for which the set of probability densities satisfying the constraint is not closed. We also analyze the induced geometry of the set of densities satisfying the constraint on the variance and means, and we determine all of the geodesics on it. Some of the problems solved here arose in a study of a variational approach to constructing and studying solutions of the non–linear kinetic Fokker–Planck equation.

Abstract :
We consider the Calderon problem in the case of partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the system of elliptic equations in a bounded two
dimensional domain. The main result of the manuscript is as follows:
If two systems of elliptic operators generate the same partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map the coefficients can be uniquely determined up to the gauge equivalence.

Title: Data approximation methods and their applications
Abstract :
In this talk, we discuss (linear and non-linear) data approximation methods and their applications to CAGD and image interpolation. First, some approximation theories by radially symmetric functions and moving least squares methods are presented. Second, a nonlinear image interpolation algorithm is presented. The suggested method is based on the moving least squares projection technique, but introduces a fundamental modification. On the purpose of overcoming the drawbacks of linear methods, we introduce an adapted method using `non-local' penalty function such that the weights are determined in a way of depending local data similarilies.

Title : On the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem
Abstract :
By the following series of lectures we will present a detailed proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem, regarding the partial regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations. Among the models of incompressible viscous fluids, perhaps the Navier-Stokes system is one of the most popular and studied system. Since the pioneering work by Leray [7] the theory of the Navier-Stokes equations has been widely developed, where fundamental problems such as existence of weak solutions, conditions for global and local regularity or asymptotical behaviour have been solved. However, despite strong efforts one of the most important question, the existence of a unique classical global solution for general date has been left open.
Concerning the local regularity, the first result is due to Scheffer [9], who introduced the notion of a suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, obeying the local energy inequality. In 1982, based on Scheffers notion, Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg [1] obtained an optimal result of partial regularity of suitable weak solutions, by showing that the one-dimensional parabolic Haussdorff measure of the singular set is zero (for alterative proofs cf. [8, 6, 12, 13]). The proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem rests on decay estimates, derived from the local energy inequality. Unlike the Leray-Hopf weak solutions, a suitable weak solution cant be obtained by using a Galerkin scheme. Further-more, for constructing such solutions the existence of the pressure has played an important role (cf. [11, 3, 10]). However, in the recent paper [15], by using a new local pressure representation, the proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem can be carried out for any domain. The final result will be achieved by using the well-known regularity theory of the heat equation.

Title : Pointwise asymptotic behavior of modulated periodic reaction-diffusion waves
Abstract:
We discuss, under standard spectral stability assumptions, pointwise nonlinear stability and asymptotic behavior of perturbations with detailed rates of decay of spatially periodic traveling waves u(x,t) = ¯u(x − at) of systems of reaction-diffusion equations. We first estimate pointwise bounds on the Green function of the linearized operator about ¯u by working with the periodic resolvent kernel and Bloch decomposition. With our linearized estimates together with a nonlinear iteration scheme developed by Johnson-Zumbrun, we show the perturbations of periodic traveling reaction-diffusion waves converge to the heat kernel under small initial perturbations with the Gaussian decay and the algebraic decay, respectively. Here, we emphasize again that it is the pointwise description that is the main new aspect of our research.

Title : Bifurcation analysis of the damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
Abstract:
In this talk, we consider bifuracation of the damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation on a odd periodic interval which has two bifurcation parameters: control parameter and the period. When one of two parameters is fixed, we present how the equation bifurcates to invariant sets as the other parameter varies. Using the center manifold analysis, we verify the structure of the bifurcated invariant sets.

Title : Regularization Models for Vortex Sheet Motion
Abstract:
A vortex sheet is a sharp interface in an incompressible fluid across which the tangential velocity is discontinuous, and is a model for the interface of a parallel shear flow. It is well known that evolving vortex sheets generally form singularities in finite time. In this talk, we discuss regularization models for the vortex sheet motion, mainly on two blob-regularizations: the Krasny model and the Beale-Majda model, and also on the Euler-alpha regularization. The non-uniqueness of weak solutions of a vortex sheet has been recently established, and important questions are whether the solutions of different regularization models converge to distinct or the same weak solution, and what the weak solutions are. We thoroughly compare differences and similarities of the models including the linear stability and the limiting behavior of the models, and examine dependence of weak limits on the choice of regularization. Numerical results for sprial turns of vortex sheets are presented to investigate these isssues and explore the structure of weak solutions.

Title : Solitary Waves and other Long wave Phenomena
Abstract:
Solitary waves in nature were first observed in the first part of the 19th century. For many years, they were a curiosity in fluid mechanics. In recent decades, their pervasive role in the evolution of general disturbances in nonlinear, dispersive systems has brought them to the forefront of modern research in a variety of subjects. The lecture will begin with a short historical account followed by a discussion of existence and stability for such wave motion. More complex phenomena will then be introduced, leading to a variety of open problems in the subject.

Title : Dynamic behaviors of the Lohe oscillators under attractive and repulsive couplings
Abstract:
We present dynamic behaviors of the Lohe oscillators on the unit sphere under the attractive and repulsive couplings. For the dynamics of the ensemble of Lohe oscillators, we introduce an order parameter representing the degree of synchronization as the modulus of centroid as in mean-field theory of statistical physics, and study the dynamics of the order parameter. This order parameter also completely characterize the equilibria up to constant motion for identical oscillators. For the identical oscillators, we show that order parameter starting from non-zero values evolves exponentially toward the unit value, which corresponds to the completely synchronized state for attractive couplings. In contrast, the order parameter approaches to zero exponentially fast for repulsive couplings. For non-identical oscillators, we show that the ensemble has a practical synchronization as the coupling strength goes to infinity so that we can push the configuration close to the completely synchronized state asymptotically.

Title: Normal form reduction for unconditional well-posedness of canonical dispersive equations.
Abstract: Normal form method is a classical ODE technique begun by H. Poincare. Via a suitable transformation one reduce a differential equation to a simpler form, where most of nonresonant terms are cancelled.

Afterward, I will present how we apply the method to nonlinear dispersive equations such as KdV, NLS to obtain unconditional well-posedness for low regularity data.

Title: Global wellposedness of the equivariant Chern-Simons-Schroedinger System
Abstract: The Chern-Simons-Schroedinger model in two spatial dimensions is a covariant NLS-type problem and is L^2 critical. Establishing global wellposedness at the critical regularity given small initial data is an open problem. However, under a certain symmetry assumption, namely, the equivariance ansatz, which includes the radial setting as a special case, it is possible to say more. In particular, joint work of the speaker with Baoping Liu establishes global wellposedness of the equivariant Chern-Simons-Schroedinger system for large data in the defocusing setting and in the focusing setting for data with charge less than that of the ground state.

Abstract :
I will discuss some recent progress on the global in time well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions for the multi-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes system. The focus will be on solutions which are of possible large oscillations and may contain vacuum. First, I present blow-up of classical solutions for the full system for a large class of initial data containing vacuum. Then we concentrate on the global existence of smooth solutions to the ISENTROPIC flows in either 3 or 2 dimension for initial which have small energy but possible large oscillations and may contain vacuum. Our results, in particular, yield the uniqueness and regularity for the weak solutions of Lions-Feireisl provided that the initial total energy is suitably small. Furthermore, some results of the large time decay will also be discussed.

Title : Asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear Vlasov equation with a sef-consistent force
Abstract :
We present a critical threshold phenomenon on the L1-asymptotic completeness for the nonlinear Vlasov equation with a self-consistent force. For a long-ranged self-consistent force, we show that the nonlinear Vlasov equation has no L1-asymptotic completeness, which means that the nonlinear Vlasov flow cannot be approximated by the corresponding free flow in L1-norm time asymptotically.
In contrast, for a short-ranged force, the nonlinear Vlasov flow can be approximated by the free flow time-asymptotically. Our result corresponds to the kinetic analogue of scattering results to the Schrodinger-type equations in quantum mechanics.

It contains the following three new issues. Firstly, we characterize a set of physically acceptable boundary conditions to ensure the existence of subsonic flows in 2-D finite long nozzles, both the irrotational and full Euler flows are considered. Secondly, we develop a new formulation for 3-D Euler system and discover a new conserved quantity and a system of new conservation laws and obtain the existence of subsonic Euler flows in a rectangular cylinder with physical boundary conditions. Finally, we establish the existence of a class of subsonic flows to the Euler-Poisson models.

Abstract : The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations model electrically conducting fluids such as plasmas and are important in understanding many natural phenomena such as solar flares and the formation of Northern Lights. Mathematically the MHD equations can be difficult to analyze due to the nonlinear coupling between the induction equation and the Naver-Stokes equations with the Lorentz force. One fundamental problem on the MHD equations is whether or not their solutions exist
for all time. This problem has attracted considerable interest recently for the 2D MHD equations with partial dissipation. This talk presents some very recent global regularity results for various partial dissipation cases.

Abstract : In this talk, I will present numerical simulations of C. elegans movement and glioma invasion models using the immersed boundary (IB) method. The IB method is used to investigate problems of fluid-structure interaction type.
C. elegnas is a transparent nematode about 1mm in length that lives in temperate soil environments. In our model, three curved lines represent slender body of C. elegans as dorsal / ventral muscles and center skeleton and each curve consists of spring element. In particular, curves which are represented the dorsal and ventral muscles consist of two parts by active and passive elements. In order to simulate swimming motion of C. elegans, traveling wave signal is alternately applied in dorsal and ventral active elements. Our model can reproduce forwarding swimming motion and coiling motion of C. elegans via changing applied signal.
Glioma is the aggressive brain cancer with the poor survival rate. We develop two-dimensional hybrid immersed boundary method where glioma cells migrate under physical constraints in the given microenvironment in the brain. Experimentally it was known that glioma cells can use myosin II to migrate and invade surrounding brain tissue when injected into mouse brain. We investigated a mathematical model based on cell mechanics which predicts how glioma cells infiltrate the brain tissue under the complex biochemical and biomechanical signals. The model also predicts the myosin II plays an essential role in regulating the cell migration through fixed glial normal cells in the brain.

Title: High-order accurate numerical methods for large-scale scientific computing
Abstract: Modeling diverse physical processes using mathematical algorithms has become a great success in modern science and engineering. The underlying mathematical models are carefully designed to perform large scale computer simulations that involve disparate scales of space and time. Such complexities often arise when incorporating various multiphysical components which are represented by classes of partial differential equations (PDE).
In this talk, I will show some of the key ideas and challenges of computational mathematics in the framework of the University of Chicago's FLASH code.
FLASH is a highly-capable, massively parallel, publicly available open source scientific code with a wide user base in the fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and high-energy-density physics.
In the first part, I will discuss fundamental components of mathematical algorithms to solve PDEs in order to construct numerical solutions of computational fluid dynamics, gas dynamics and plasma physics.
Mathematical algorithms are going to be described with special cares on two numerical approaches: first, the traditional high-order polynomial based formulation, and second, a new innovative exponentially converging formulation based on Gaussian Process.
In this part of my talk, I will show valuable importances of using high-order accurate numerical methods that will be cruicial for future high-performance (HPC) computing architectures.
In the second part, I will present state-of-art scientific simulations using the numerical algorithms introduced in the first part. They will include large scale computer simulations of astrophysics and high-energy-density plasma physics.

Abstract: In this talk, we will prove finite energy global well-posedness of the Chern-Simons-Higgs equations on the (2+1)-dimensional Minkowski space for general compact non-abelian gauge groups. The case of abelian gauge groups was recently established by [Selberg-Tesfahun, DCDS-A 2013] using the Lorenz gauge; in the non-abelian case, however, conventional gauges (such as Lorenz or Coulomb) become troublesome for large initial data. To address this difficulty, we will utilize the caloric-temporal gauge, introduced in [Oh, arXiv 2012] for the Yang-Mills equations, which is constructed using the Yang-Mills heat flow. This is despite the apparent lack of a naturally associated heat flow for the Chern-Simon-Higgs equations.

Abstract: We presented a coupled kinetic-fluid model for the interactions between Cucker-Smale(C-S) flocking particles and incompressible fluid on the periodic spatial domain T^d. Our coupled system consists of the kinetic Cucker-Smale equation and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and these two systems are coupled through the advection term and drag force. For the proposed model, we provide a strong solutions in the periodic domain and bounded domains. This is joint work with Young-Pil Choi, Seung-Yeal Ha and Moon-Jin Kang.

Title: Burgers equation with stationary point source
Abstract: Existence, uniqueness and regularity of the global weak solution to the Burgers equation with a reaction term is shown when the reaction term is given as a time independent point source and produces heat constantly. An explicit solution is obtained and used to show the long time asymptotic convergence of the solution to a steady state. For the heat equation case without any convection the solution diverges everywhere as time increases and hence it is the first order convection term that gives the compactness of the solution trajectory of the Burgers equation with reaction. This is a joint work with Jaywan Chung and Marshall Slemrod.

Title: Curvature Flows
Abstract: In this talk, we are going to consider the evolution of surfaces with a speed proportional to curvatures. Regularity theory depends on the class operators that the flow satisfies. We will discuss the curvature estimate, pinching estimate, entropy estimate, monotonicity formulas to find the regularity and the analysis of singularities. And we also discuss free boundary problems in the curvature flows.

Title: Anisotropic flow of convex hypersurfaces by the square root of the scalar
curvature
Abstract: We study the deformation of convex hypersurfaces governed by the scalar curvature in Euclidean space. The speed of deformation is given by the square root of the scalar curvature multiplied by a positive function which we call an anisotropic factor. We show that the existence of the flow and the smooth convergence to a round point given some condition on the anisotropic factor. In dimension two, we also obtain the limit equation satisfied by the rescaled flow. This is a joint work with Lami Kim and Ki-Ahm Lee.

Title: Mathematical consideration of separation phenomena on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation.
Abstract: In general, before separating from a boundary, the flow moves toward reverse direction near the boundary against the laminar flow direction. In the non-stationary two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with initial flow having diffusing laminar structure,
topologically changing flow (inducing the reverse flow) must occur in finite time.
