The 3rd Symposium on Analysis and Pdes

In this talk we will discuss regularization of one-phase Hele-Shaw flow, starting from initially Lipschitz surface. We show that if the Lipschitz constant of the initial free boundary is small, then for small positive time the solution of (HS) is smooth and solves (HS) in the classical sense. Global and local version of the result will be presented with estimates on the free boundary speed in t...

Symposium on Movement Disorders

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a degenerative disease manifesting any combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar, pyramidal, and autonomic (including urinary, sexual and anorectal) dysfunction. It is pathomorphologically defined by a typical distribution of neuron loss and gliosis, as well as by cytoplasmic oligodendroglial inclusions, but lacks a definitive clinical diagnostic test. As it may m...
