Luis Caffarelli: Non-linear and non-local surface structure problems and some of its applications

Abstract:
We introduce non-local fractional diffusion and evolution processes modeling diverse structures in the formation of free boundary problems and diffusion phenomena arising, for instance, from the evolution of energy-partition methods, involving a regularizing mechanism such as local and fractional free energies and convex-like potentials.

The applications are abundant in natural sciences and engineering structures, stochastic processes in financial modeling and beyond.
