Kinetic equations

Focus on existence, stability and long time behavior studies, as well as numerical schemes.

Fokker-Planck type integrodifferential models for density of blood vessel tips

– Mathematical foundation for these models by proving the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions in various geometries, including the whole space and specialized annular domains. This involves constructing Green functions, establishing sharp estimates for velocity integrals and employing PL Lions compensated compactness.
