We construct solutions of the fast diffusion equation, which exist for all t ∈ R and are singular on the set γ(t) := is(s);-∞ < s ≤ ct, c > 0, where ∈ C3(R;Rn), n ≥ 2. We also give a precise description of the behavior of the solutions near γ (t). Read More about Solutions with snaking singularities for the fast diffusion equation.

The classical Gibbs paradox concerns the entropy change upon mixing two gases. Whether an observer assigns an entropy increase to the process depends on their ability to distinguish the gases. A resolution is that an "ignorant" observer, who cannot d... Read More about Mixing indistinguishable systems leads to a quantum Gibbs paradox.
