The project is devoted to the following five aspects of nonlinear time-dependent problems. (i) Critical regularity in Eulerian dynamics: we will use spectral dynamics to investigate a new framework for vanishing viscosity solutions of the pressure-less Euler equations, for global regularity of the Euler-Poisson equations subject to sub-critical initial data, and the long-time regularity of the shallow-water driven by irrotational forcing. (ii) Entropy stability and well-balanced shallow-water schemes: we will develop, analyze and implement a new class of well-balanced schemes for the shallow-water equations. (iii) Self-organized dynamics: we will study the long-time behavior of models driven by velocity-alignment and address two interrelated issues. When does flocking occur with local interactions, depending on the connectivity of the underlying graph, and how is it realized in hydrodynamic models of flocking? We will also explore new models of self-organized dynamics in which inter-particle communication is scaled by their relative distance. (iv) Regularizing effects in quasi-linear transport-diffusion equations: we will continue our ongoing research on regularizing effects using velocity averaging in the concrete setups of nonlinear scalar conservation laws and certain systems which admit an entropic kinetic formulation. (v) Integro-differential equations for multi-scale decomposition of images: we will study the localization properties of new multi-scale integro-differential equations for image de-noising and de-blurring. The ultimate goal of this project is to construct, analyze and simulate time-dependent problems which are governed by nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and develop related novel computational schemes. The underlying equations involve nonlinear transport models, self-organized dynamics, and possibly different small scale decompositions into particle dynamics, kinetic distributions, or intensity of pixels; they arise in diverse applications, including fluid dynamics, collective behavioral sciences, and image processing and de-noising. We will focus on the unifying mathematical content of the equations, using a synergy of modern analytical tools and novel computational algorithms, to study the persistence of global features in these equations. The project provides a great educational experience through research for the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows involved.

该项目致力于以下五个方面的非线性时变问题。(i)欧拉动力学中的临界正则性：我们将使用谱动力学来研究 一个新的框架消失的粘性解的无压欧拉方程，为全球正则性的欧拉-泊松方程受亚临界初始数据，和长时间规律性的浅水驱动的无旋强迫。(ii)熵稳定性与浅水平衡格式：我们将发展、分析与实作一类新的浅水方程的浅水平衡格式。(iii)自组织动力学：我们将研究由速度对齐驱动的模型的长期行为，并解决两个相互关联的问题。根据底层图形的连通性，何时会发生局部相互作用的群集，以及如何在群集的流体动力学模型中实现？ 我们还将探索自组织动力学的新模型，其中粒子间的通信是由它们的相对距离缩放。(iv)准线性输运扩散方程中的正则化效应：我们将继续我们正在进行的研究，在非线性标量守恒律和某些允许熵动力学公式的系统的具体设置中使用速度平均的正则化效应。(v)图像多尺度分解的积分微分方程：我们将研究新的多尺度积分微分方程的局部化性质，用于图像去噪和去模糊。该项目的最终目标是构建、分析和模拟由非线性偏微分方程（PDE）控制的时间依赖问题，并开发相关的新计算方案。基本方程涉及非线性传输模型，自组织动力学，以及可能不同的小尺度分解成粒子动力学，动力学分布或像素强度;它们出现在不同的应用中，包括流体动力学，集体行为科学，图像处理和去噪。我们将专注于统一的数学内容的方程，使用现代分析工具和新的计算算法的协同作用，研究这些方程的全球功能的持久性。该项目通过研究为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个很好的教育经验。
