Neutral Stochastic Integrodifferential Equations Driven by a Fractional Brownian Motion with Impulsive Effects and Time-varying Delays

This paper deals with the existence,uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of mild solutions to neutral stochastic delay functional integrodifferential equations with impulsive effects, perturbed by a fractional Brownian motion B ^H , with Hurst parameter \({H \in (\frac{1}{2},1)}\). We use the theory of resolvent operators developed in Grimmer (Trans Am Math Soc 273(1982):333–349, 2009) to show the existence of mild solutions. An example is provided to illustrate the results of this work.     

Global existence and energy decay for a coupled system of Kirchhoff type equations with damping and source terms

This paper deals with the global existence and energy decay of solutions to some coupled system of Kirchhoff type equations with nonlinear dissipative and source terms in a bounded domain. We obtain the global existence by defining the stable set in H ₀ ¹ (Ω) × H ₀ ¹ (Ω), and the energy decay of global solutions is given by applying a lemma of V. Komornik.     

Global Existence and Convergence Rates of Smooth Solutions for the 3-D Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Equations Without Heat Conductivity

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and convergence rates of the smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations without heat conductivity, which is a hyperbolic-parabolic system. The global solutions are obtained by combining the local existence and a priori estimates if H³-norm of the initial perturbation around a constant states is small enough and its L¹-norm is bounded. A priori decay-in-time estimates on the pressure, velocity and magnetic field are used to get the uniform bound of entropy. Moreover, the optimal convergence rates are also obtained.     

Existence theorems for an integral equation of the Chandrasekhar H-equation with perturbation

We prove existence of positive solutions in thaces C[0, 1] and C^α ≡ C^α[0, 1] of an integral equation of the Chandrasekhar H-equation with perturbation.     

The non-linear Schrödinger equation with a periodic δ-interaction

We study the existence and stability of space-periodic standing waves for the space-periodic cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a point defect determined by a space-periodic Dirac distributionat the origin. This equation admits a smooth curve of positive space-periodic solutions with a profile given by the Jacobi elliptic function of dnoidal type. Via a perturbationmethod and continuation argument, we prove that in the case of an attractive defect the standing wave solutions are stable in H _per ¹ ([?π, π]) with respect to perturbations which have the same space-periodic as the wave itself. In the case of a repulsive defect, the standing wave solutions are stable in the subspace of even functions of H _per ¹ ([?π, π]) and unstable in H _per ¹ ([?π, π]) with respect to perturbations which have the same space-periodic as the wave itself.     

Uniform decay rates for the energy of weakly damped defocusing semilinear Schrödinger equations with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary control

In this paper, we study the open loop stabilization as well as the existence and regularity of solutions of the weakly damped defocusing semilinear Schrödinger equation with an inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary control. First of all, we prove the global existence of weak solutions at the H¹-energy level together with the stabilization in the same sense. It is then deduced that the decay rate of the boundary data controls the decay rate of the solutions up to an exponential rate. Secondly, we prove some regularity and stabilization results for the strong solutions in H²-sense. The proof uses the direct multiplier method combined with monotonicity and compactness techniques. The result for weak solutions is strong in the sense that it is independent of the dimension of the domain, the power of the nonlinearity, and the smallness of the initial data. However, the regularity and stabilization of strong solutions are obtained only in low dimensions with small initial and boundary data.     

Blow-up solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with oscillating nonlinearities

In this article we investigate the possibility of finite time blow-up in H¹(R²) for solutions to critical and supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations with an oscillating nonlinearity. We prove that despite the oscillations some solutions blow up in finite time. Conversely, we observe that for a given initial data oscillations can extend the local existence time of the corresponding solution.     

Attractors for Fully Discrete Finite Difference Scheme of Dissipative Zakharov Equations

A fully discrete finite difference scheme for dissipative Zakharov equations is analyzed. On the basis of a series of the time-uniform priori estimates of the difference solutions, the stability of the difference scheme and the error bounds of optimal order of the difference solutions are obtained in L²×H¹×H² over a finite time interval (0, T]. Finally, the existence of a global attractor is proved for a discrete dynamical system associated with the fully discrete finite difference scheme.     

Global Solutions of Nonlinear Magnetohydrodynamics with Large Initial Data

A free boundary problem for nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics with general large initial data is investigated. The existence, uniqueness, and regularity of global solutions are established with large initial data in H¹. It is shown that neither shock waves nor vacuum and concentration in the solutions are developed in a finite time, although there is a complex interaction between the hydrodynamic and magnetodynamic effects. An existence theorem of global solutions with large discontinuous initial data is also established.     

Well-posedness and existence of bound states for a coupled Schrödinger-gKdV system

We derive some new results concerning the Cauchy problem and the existence of bound states for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger-gKdV systems. In particular, we obtain the existence of strong global solutions for initial data in the energy space H¹(R)×H¹(R), generalizing previous results obtained in Tsutsumi (1993) [11], Corcho and Linares (2007) [13] and Dias et al. (submitted for publication) [14] for the nonlinear Schrödinger-KdV system.     

On regularizing-rate estimates for solutions to the heat flow with initial value problem

For a compact Riemannian manifold NRK without boundary, we establish the existence of strong solutions to the heat flow for harmonic maps from Rn to N, and the regularizing rate estimate of the strong solutions. Moreover, we obtain the analyticity in spatial variables of the solutions. The uniqueness of the mild solutions in C([0,T]; W1,n) is also considered in this paper.     

Pullback attractors for a non-autonomous incompressible non-Newtonian fluid

This paper studies the pullback asymptotic behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous incompressible non-Newtonian fluid in two-dimensional (2D) bounded domains. We first prove the existence of pullback attractors AV in space V (has H²-regularity, see notation in Section 2) and AH in space H (has L²-regularity) for the cocycle corresponding to the solutions of the fluid. Then we verify the regularity of the pullback attractors by showing AV=AH, which implies the pullback asymptotic smoothing effect of the fluid in the sense that the solutions become eventually more regular than the initial data.     

A class of viscous p-Laplace equation with nonlinear sources

In this paper, we prove the global existence of solutions to the initial boundary value problem of a viscous p-Laplace equation with nonlinear sources. The asymptotic behavior of solutions as the viscous coefficient k tends to zero is also investigated. In particular, we discuss the H¹-Galerkin finite element method for our problem and establish the error estimates for two semi-discrete approximate schemes.     

Analysis of a parabolic cross-diffusion population model without self-diffusion

The global existence of non-negative weak solutions to a strongly coupled parabolic system arising in population dynamics is shown. The cross-diffusion terms are allowed to be arbitrarily large, whereas the self-diffusion terms are assumed to disappear. The last assumption complicates the analysis since these terms usually provide H¹ estimates of the solutions. The existence proof is based on a positivity-preserving backward Euler-Galerkin approximation, discrete entropy estimates, and L¹ weak compactness arguments. Furthermore, employing the entropy-entropy production method, we show for special stationary solutions that the transient solution converges exponentially fast to its steady state. As a by-product, we prove that only constant steady states exist if the inter-specific competition parameters disappear no matter how strong the cross-diffusion constants are.     

Momentum estimates and ergodicity for the 3D stochastic cubic Ginzburg-Landau equation with degenerate noise

In this paper, we consider the ergodicity of invariant measures for the stochastic Ginzburg-Landau equation with degenerate random forcing. First, we show the existence and pathwise uniqueness of strong solutions with H¹-initial data, and then the existence of an invariant measure for the Feller semigroup by the Krylov-Bogoliubov method. Then in the case of degenerate additive noise, using the notion of asymptotically strong Feller property, we prove the uniqueness of invariant measures for the transition semigroup.     

Existence and scattering theory for Boussinesq type equations with singular data

We study the initial value problem for the generalized Boussinesq equation and prove existence of local and global solutions with singular initial data in weak-Lp spaces. Our class of initial data for global existence is larger than that of Cho and Ozawa (2007) [7]. Long time behavior results are obtained and a scattering theory is proved in that framework. With more structure, we show Sobolev H¹ and Lorentz-type L(p,q) regularity properties for the obtained solutions. The approach employed is unified for all dimensions n?1.     

Variational solutions for partial differential equations driven by a fractional noise

In this article we develop an existence and uniqueness theory of variational solutions for a class of nonautonomous stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type defined on a bounded open subset D⊂R^d and driven by an infinite-dimensional multiplicative fractional noise. We introduce two notions of such solutions for them and prove their existence and their indistinguishability by assuming that the noise is derived from an L²(D)-valued fractional Wiener process W^H with Hurst parameter , whose covariance operator satisfies appropriate integrability conditions, and where γ∈(0,1] denotes the Hölder exponent of the derivative of the nonlinearity in the stochastic term of the equations. We also prove the uniqueness of solutions when the stochastic term is an affine function of the unknown random field. Our existence and uniqueness proofs rest upon the construction and the convergence of a suitable sequence of Faedo-Galerkin approximations, while our proof of indistinguishability is based on certain density arguments as well as on new continuity properties of the stochastic integral we define with respect to W^H.     

Global existence and convergence rates of smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and convergence rates of the smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in R³. We prove the global existence of the smooth solutions by the standard energy method under the condition that the initial data are close to the constant equilibrium state in H³-framework. Moreover, if additionally the initial data belong to L^p with , the optimal convergence rates of the solutions in L^q-norm with 2≤q≤6 and its spatial derivatives in L²-norm are obtained.     

A Regularity Result for the Incompressible Euler Equation with a Free Interface

We address the local existence of solutions of the 2D and 3D water wave problems. For the space dimension three, we consider the irrotational datum u ₀ and prove that the local in time existence holds for initial velocities belonging to H ^2.5+δ , where δ>0 is arbitrary. For the space dimension two, the data does not need to be irrotational. We prove the local in time existence when u ₀ belongs to H ^2+δ and $\operatorname{curl}u_{0}$ to H ^1.5+δ , where δ>0 is arbitrary.     

Strong solutions to a nonlinear fluid structure interaction system

In this paper, we prove the existence of local-in-time smooth solutions to the nonlinear fluid structure interaction model first introduced in [J.-L. Lions, Quelques méthodes de résolution des problèmes aux limites non linéaires, Dunod, 1969] and considered in [V. Barbu, Z. Gruji?, I. Lasiecka, A. Tuffaha, Existence of the energy-level weak solutions for a nonlinear fluid-structure interaction model, in: Fluids and Waves, in: Contemp. Math., vol. 440, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2007, pp. 55-82; V. Barbu, Z. Gruji?, I. Lasiecka, A. Tuffaha, Smoothness of weak solutions to a nonlinear fluid-structure interaction model, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 57 (3) (2008) 1173-1207]. In particular, the strong solutions here are obtained given initial datum for the Navier-Stokes equation in the space H¹, and initial data for the wave equation w₀ and w₁ in the spaces H²(Ωe) and H¹(Ωe) respectively.
