| - | **//Abstract//**: Two-phase flows in porous media is known as the Muskat problem. The Muskat problem can be ill-posed. In this talk we introduce a quasi-incompressible Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model as a relaxation of the Muskat problem. We show global existence of weak solution to the model. We then present a high order accurate bound-preserving and unconditionally stable numerical method for solving the equations. The talk is based on works joint with Yali Gao and Xiaoming Wang. | + | **//Abstract//**: Two-phase flows in porous media are known as the Muskat problem. The Muskat problem can be ill-posed.

| \\ \\ | \\ \\ | ||
| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: | + | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: The theta process is a stochastic process of number theoretical origin arising as a scaling limit of quadratic Weyl sums. It has several properties in common with Brownian motion such as its H\"older regularity, uncorrelated increments and quadratic variation. However crucially, we show that the theta process is not a semimartingale making It\^o calculus techniques inapplicable. However we show that the celebrated rough paths theory does work by constructing the iterated integrals - the ``rough path" - above the theta process. Rough paths theory takes a signal and its iterated integrals and produces a vast and robust theory of stochastic differential equations. In addition, the rough path we construct can be described in terms of higher rank theta sums. |

| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: TBA | + | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: We shall explore the role that curvature plays in harmonic analysis on compact manifolds. We shall focus on estimates that measure the concentration of eigenfunctions. Using them we are able to affirm the classical Bohr correspondence principle and obtain a new classification of compact space forms in terms of the growth rates of various norms of (approximate) eigenfunctions. |

| - | **//Topic//**: TBA | + | **//Topic//**: Numerical Analysis of a positivity-preserving, energy-stable, and convergent scheme for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system |
| \\ \\ | \\ \\ | ||
| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: TBA | + | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: A finite difference numerical scheme is proposed and analyzed for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation (PNP) system. To understand the energy structure of the PNP model, we make use of the Energetic Variational Approach (EnVarA), so that the PNP system could be reformulated as a non-constant mobility, conserved gradient flow, with singular logarithmic energy potentials involved. To ensure the unique solvability and energy stability, the mobility function is explicitly treated, while both the logarithmic and the electric potential diffusion terms are treated implicitly, due to the convex nature of these two energy functional parts. The positivity-preserving property for both concentrations is established at a theoretical level. This is based on the subtle fact that the singular nature of the logarithmic term around the value of 0 prevents the numerical solution from reaching the singular value so that the numerical scheme is always well-defined. In addition, an optimal rate convergence analysis is provided in this work, in which many highly non-standard estimates have to be involved, due to the nonlinear parabolic coefficients. The higher-order asymptotic expansion (up to third-order temporal accuracy and fourth-order spatial accuracy), the rough error estimate (to establish the discrete maximum norm bound), and the refined error estimate have to be carried out to accomplish such a convergence result. In our knowledge, this work will be the first to combine the following three theoretical properties for a numerical scheme for the PNP system: (i) unique solvability and positivity, (ii) energy stability, and (iii) optimal rate convergence. A few numerical results are also presented in this talk, which demonstrates the robustness of the proposed numerical scheme. |
