NEF Workshop on the theme “Universities, STEM and Sustainable Development Goals 2030: Targets and Practices” In Partnership with WILLIAM AND FLORA HEWLETT FOUNDATION

Youths are the main beneficiaries and contributors of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In partnership with the Williams and Flora Hewlett Foundation, AIMS Cameroon through the Next Einstein Forum (NEF) launched a pioneering effort of spotlighting youth-led institutions’ contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. The main purpose of the Next Einstein Foundation African Sustainable

Solutions to the Monge-Ampere Equation with Polyhedral and Y-shaped Singularities

Surfaces which The Monge-Ampere equation $\mathrm{det}(D^2u) = 1$ arises in prescribed curvature problems and in optimal transport. An interesting feature of the equation is that it admits singular solutions. We will discuss new examples of convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that solve the Monge-Ampere equation away from finitely many points but contain polyhedral and $Y$-shaped singular structures. Along the way, we will discuss

The Stickiness Property of Nonlocal Minimal Surfaces

Surfaces that minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional exhibit quite different behaviors than the ones minimizing the classical perimeter. Among these peculiar features, an interesting property, which is also in contrast with the pattern produced by the solutions of linear equations, is given by the capacity, and the strong tendency, of adhering at the boundary. We

Generic Regularity in the Fractional Obstacle Problem

The fractional obstacle problem in $\mathbb R^n$ with obstacle $\varphi\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ can be written as \[\min\{(-\Delta)^s u , u-\varphi\} = 0,\quad\textrm{in }\quad\mathbb{R}^n. \] The set $\{u = \varphi\} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is called the contact set, and its boundary is the free boundary, an unknown of the problem. The free boundary for the fractional obstacle problem can be divided between two subsets: regular points

Well-posedness of Non-Linear Partial Differential Equations in Weighted Sobolev Spaces

The well-posedness (existence, uniqueness, and stability) of the solutions for several nonlinear dispersive PDEs with initial data in Sobolev spaces has been intensively analyzed. However, Sobolev functions do not necessarily decay fast at infinity, which is in many applications an unrealistic assumption. In this talk, we discuss examples of existence and uniqueness results in weighted

Regularity for C^{1,\alpha} interface transmission problems

Transmission problems originally arose in elasticity theory, and they are nowadays of great interest due to their many applications in different areas in science. Typically, in these problems, there is a fixed interface where solutions may change abruptly, and the primary focus is to study their behavior across this surface. In this talk, we will

Regularity Estimate for Nonlocal Space-Time Master Equations

We analyze regularity estimates for solutions to nonlocal space-time equations driven by fractional powers of parabolic operators in divergence form. These equations are fundamental in semipermeable membrane problems, biological invasion models and they also appear as generalized Master equations. We develop a parabolic method of semigroups that allows us to prove a local extension problem
