About

Tithi Bhattacharya is a professor of South Asian History at Purdue University, with a specialization in South Asian History, Social Reproduction Theory, Feminism, Gender and Sexuality, Marxist theory, and Empire. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of London, obtained in 2000. Bhattacharya is the author of several works, including the forthcoming 'Ghostly Past, Capitalist Presence: A Social History of Fear in Colonial Bengal' and the book 'The Sentinels of Culture: Class, Education, and the Colonial Intellectual in Bengal.' She is also the editor of the influential study 'Social Reproduction Theory: Remapping Class, Recentering Oppression' and coauthor of 'Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto,' which has been translated into over 30 languages. Her research extensively covers South Asian history, Marxist theory, gender, and the politics of Islamophobia. Bhattacharya's writings have been published in various academic and popular outlets, including the Journal of Asian Studies, South Asia Research, The Guardian, Jacobin, The Nation, and the New Left Review. She teaches courses in South Asian history, Transnational Gender, Colonialism, and Global History, and is currently accepting graduate students interested in these fields.

  We study a version of the strong minimum principle, and large time asymptotics of positive viscosity solutions to classes of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $$ H(Du,D^2u)-u^{k-1}u_t=0,\;\;k\geq 1,\quad\mbox{in $Ω\times [0,T)$},$$ where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded domain and $0
