Abstract:
In this talk we present delicate properties of the Green function with Robin boundary conditions, in particular, elucidating the nature of the passage between the Dirichlet-like and Neumann-like behavior. This yields sharp quantifiable bounds on the corresponding harmonic measure and proves the phase transition in the behavior of the total flow earlier conjectured in physics literature in concert with the efficacy of mammalian lungs.
