Numerous dynamic spatial models feature interactions between particles that are based on waiting times; the most prominent examples being first passage percolation, where a fluid spreads from a source, and the contact process, where an infection spreads on a graph with the possibility of recovery. However, waiting times are unnatural for certain models. One can argue that people have a daily routine and meet each other on a relatively fixed schedule, rather than a random waiting time after having met someone else. With the help of graphical representations, we develop a framework that moves away from waiting times towards so called contact times. As an application, we present results on a first contact percolation model, where people follow a random daily meeting routine, as well as contact processes with periodic recoveries.

Abstrakt
In this talk, I will discuss and analyze scalar quasilinear parabolic equations posed on nonsmooth domains with generally irregular input data. The latter refers to merely measurable and bounded coefficients, mixed boundary conditions, possibly inhomogeneous Robin or Neumann boundary data, and also to nonlinear forcing functions which may act on the gradient of the solution. The driving force for the analysis will be maximal parabolic regularity of the differential operators in the scale of (duals of) Bessel potential spaces incorporating mixed boundary conditions, with the scale parameter depending on the smoothness of the solution within the quasilinear operator. These depend on permanence principles for the elliptic counterparts which are leveraged from bilinear interpolation. A careful analysis allows to close the loop for the quasilinear equation and thus obtain local-in-time solutions under minimal assumptions. I further mention some sufficient criteria for solutions to exist globally, and how these can be leveraged in the framework of optimal control problems to achieve a satisfying theory for nonsmooth problems with strong nonlinearities.

In modeling liquid crystals and micromagnetics, holonomic constraints on the relevant physical quantities are common. This talk discusses efficient numerical approximation methods for partial differential equations discretized in time by finite differences and in space by finite elements, using the Python library FEniCSx.

Abstrakt
Cardiac radiofrequency ablation is a widely used therapy for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. In this talk, a mathematical and computational framework for modeling lesion formation based on coupled electrical conduction, heat transfer, and temperature-dependent tissue damage will be presented. Starting from simplified geometries, we introduce the governing PDE system and its numerical discretization, and then demonstrate its applications to patient-specific meshes derived from medical imaging. Finally, extensions toward reformulating cardiac tissue as a porous medium, enabling a more mechanistic representation of perfusion and transport processes will be discussed.

Diffuse-interface models for multiphase flows have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to describe complex interfacial dynamics, including curvature effects, within a unified and energetically consistent framework. In this talk, we present joint results for a Brinkman--Cahn--Hilliard system coupling a sixth-order phase-field evolution with a Brinkman-type momentum equation with variable shear viscosity. The Cahn--Hilliard equation includes a nonconservative source term modeling mass exchange, while the momentum equation involves a forcing term that is not divergence-free. We prove the existence of weak solutions in a divergence-free variational framework and, in the case of constant mobility and shear viscosity, establish uniqueness and continuous dependence on the forcing. We also analyze the Darcy limit and obtain existence results for the corresponding reduced system. Finally, we consider an optimal control problem with distributed velocity control, prove the existence of optimal controls, show the Fréchet differentiability of the control-to-state operator, and derive first-order necessary optimality conditions via an adjoint system.
