[{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We establish sharp criteria for the instantaneous propagation of free boundaries in solutions to the thin-film equation. The criteria are formulated in terms of the initial distribution of mass (as opposed to previous almost-optimal results), reflecting the fact that mass is a locally conserved quantity for the thin-film equation. In the regime of weak slippage, our criteria are at the same time necessary and sufficient. The proof of our upper bounds on free boundary propagation is based on a strategy of “propagation of degeneracy” down to arbitrarily small spatial scales: We combine estimates on the local mass and estimates on energies to show that “degeneracy” on a certain space-time cylinder entails “degeneracy” on a spatially smaller space-time cylinder with the same time horizon. The derivation of our lower bounds on free boundary propagation is based on a combination of a monotone quantity and almost optimal estimates established previously by the second author with a new estimate connecting motion of mass to entropy production."}],"publication":"Communications in Partial Differential Equations","volume":47,"title":"Sharp criteria for the waiting time phenomenon in solutions to the thin-film equation","arxiv":1,"external_id":{"arxiv":["1907.05342"],"isi":["000805689800001"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","page":"1394-1434","doi":"10.1080/03605302.2022.2056702","date_created":"2023-01-16T10:06:50Z","_id":"12304","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1532-4133"],"issn":["0360-5302"]},"acknowledgement":"N.

The large-scale regularity of a-harmonic functions is encoded by Liouville principles: The space of a-harmonic functions that grow at most like a polynomial of degree k has the same dimension as in the constant-coefficient case. This result can be seen as the qualitative side of a large-scale Ck,α-regularity theory, which in the present work is developed in the form of a corresponding Ck,α-“excess decay” estimate: For a given a-harmonic function u on a ball BR, its energy distance on some ball Br to the above space of a-harmonic functions that grow at most like a polynomial of degree k has the natural decay in the radius r above some minimal radius r0. Though motivated by stochastic homogenization, the contribution of this paper is of purely deterministic nature: We work under the assumption that for the given realization a of the coefficient field, the couple (φ, σ) of scalar and vector potentials of the harmonic coordinates, where φ is the usual corrector, grows sublinearly in a mildly quantified way. We then construct “kth-order correctors” and thereby the space of a-harmonic functions that grow at most like a polynomial of degree k, establish the above excess decay, and then the corresponding Liouville principle.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Communications in Partial Differential Equations","volume":41,"title":"A higher-order large scale regularity theory for random elliptic operators","issue":"7","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","OA_place":"publisher","oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"doi":"10.1080/03605302.2016.1179318","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:51:20Z","publication_identifier":{"issnl":["0360-5302"],"eissn":["1532-4133"]},"_id":"1318","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03605302.2016.1179318","open_access":"1"}],"citation":{"ama":"Fischer JL, Otto F.
