<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-Dissipativity of Kolmogorov Operators Corresponding to Burgers Equations with Space-time White Noise

In this article, we prove new a priori estimates on the solutions of the Burgers equation driven by a space-time white noise and on the associated invariant measure. We also prove smoothing properties for the transition semi-group. This is obtained thanks to the introduction of a modified Kolmogorov operator. These results are then used to prove that the Kolmogorov operator associated to the Burgers equation is m-dissipative. This implies several properties on the Kolmogorov equation.      

Minimal Blow-Up Solutions to the Mass-Critical Inhomogeneous NLS Equation

We consider the mass-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the presence of an external potential, when the nonlinearity is inhomogeneous. We show that if the inhomogeneous factor in front of the nonlinearity is sufficiently flat at a critical point, then there exists a solution which blows up in finite time with the maximal (unstable) rate at this point. In the case where the critical point is a maximum, this solution has minimal mass among the blow-up solutions. As a corollary, we also obtain unstable blow-up solutions of the mass-critical Schrödinger equation on some surfaces. The proof is based on properties of the linearized operator around the ground state, and on a full use of the invariances of the equation with an homogeneous nonlinearity and no potential, via time-dependent modulations.     

On the differentiability of the solution to the Hamilton–Jacobi equation with critical fractional diffusion

We prove that the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for an arbitrary Hamiltonian H (locally Lipschitz but not necessarily convex) and fractional diffusion of order one (critical) has classical C1,α solutions. The proof is achieved using a new Hölder estimate for solutions of advection–diffusion equations of order one with bounded vector fields that are not necessarily divergence free.     

SUPERCRITICAL SEMILINEAR WAVE EQUATION WITH NON-NEGATIVE POTENTIAL

We prove a weighted L ^∞ estimate for the solution to the linear wave equation with a smooth positive time independent potential. The proof is based on application of generalized Fourier transform for the perturbed Laplace operator and a finite dependence domain argument. We apply this estimate to prove the existence of global small data solution to supercritical semilinear wave equations with potential.     

Regular solutions to the coagulation equations with singular kernels

In this article, we prove the existence of solutions to the coagulation equation with singular kernels. We use weighted L¹‐spaces to deal with the singularities in order to obtain regular solutions. The Smoluchowski kernel is covered by our proof. The weak L¹ compactness methods are applied to suitably chosen approximating equations as a base of our proof. A more restrictive uniqueness result is also mentioned. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Problem of determining the nonstationary potential in a hyperbolic-type equation

We solve the problem of determining the hyperbolic equation coefficient depending on two variables. Some additional information is given by the trace of the direct problem solution on the hyperplane x = 0. We estimate the stability of the solution of the inverse problem under study and prove the uniqueness theorem. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 156, No. 2, pp. 220–225, August, 2008.     

A Mixed Problem with Integral Condition for the Hyperbolic Equation

In this paper, we study a mixed problem for the hyperbolic equation with a boundary Neumann condition and a nonlocal integral condition. We justify the assertion that there exists a unique generalized solution of the problem under consideration. The proof of uniqueness is based on an estimate, derived a priori, in the function space introduced in the paper, while the existence of a generalized solution is proved by the Galerkin method.     

On blowup for gain‐term‐only classical and relativistic Boltzmann equations

We show that deletion of the loss part of the collision term in all physically relevant versions of the Boltzmann equation, including the relativistic case, will in general lead to blowup in finite time of a solution and hence prevent global existence. Our result corrects an error in the proof given (Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 1987; 9 :251–259), where the result was announced for the classical hard sphere case; here we give a simpler proof which applies much more generally.

Multi-Solitary Waves for the Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation

We consider the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in ? ^d . We call multi-solitary waves a solution behaving at large time as a sum of boosted standing waves. Our main result is the existence of such multi-solitary waves, provided the composing boosted standing waves are stable. It is obtained by solving the equation backward in time around a sequence of approximate multi-solitary waves and showing convergence to a solution with the desired property. The main ingredients of the proof are finite speed of propagation, variational characterizations of the profiles, modulation theory and energy estimates.     

The method of generalized Cole-Hopf substitutions and new examples of linearizable nonlinear evolution equations

We propose a new approach for constructing nonlinear evolution equations in matrix form that are integrable via substitutions similar to the Cole-Hopf substitution linearizing the Burgers equation. We use this new approach to find new integrable nonlinear evolution equations and their hierarchies. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 158, No. 1, pp. 58–71, January, 2009     

Uniform well-posedness and inviscid limit for the Benjamin–Ono–Burgers equation

We prove that the Cauchy problem for the Benjamin–Ono–Burgers equation is uniformly globally well-posed in Hs (s?1) for all ε∈[0,1]. Moreover, we show that as ε→0 the solution converges to that of Benjamin–Ono equation in C([0,T]:Hs) (s?1) for any T>0. Our results give an alternative proof for the global well-posedness of the BO equation in H¹(R) without using gauge transform, which was first obtained by Tao (2004) [23], and also solve the problem addressed in Tao (2004) [23] about the inviscid limit behavior in H¹.     

The Gevrey smoothing effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equations without cut-off

In this article we study the Gevrey regularization effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off.This equation is partially elliptic in the velocity direction and degenerates in the spatial variable.We consider the nonlinear Cauchy problem for the fluctuation around the Maxwellian distribution and prove that any solution with mild regularity will become smooth in the Gevrey class at positive time with the Gevrey index depending on the angular singularity.Our proof relies on the symbolic calculus for the collision operator and the global subelliptic estimate for the Cauchy problem of the linearized Boltzmann operator.     

Wavelet-Taylor Galerkin Method for the Burgers Equation

In this paper, we propose a wavelet-Taylor Galerkin method for the numerical solution of the Burgers equation. In deriving the computational scheme, Taylor-generalized Euler time discretization is performed prior to wavelet-based Galerkin spatial approximation. The linear system of equations obtained in the process are solved by approximate-factorization-based simple explicit schemes, and the resulting solution is compared with that from regular methods. To deal with transient advection-diffusion situations that evolve toward a convective steady state, a splitting-up strategy is known to be very effective. So the Burgers equation is also solved by a splitting-up method using a wavelet-Taylor Galerkin approach. Here, the advection and diffusion terms in the Burgers equation are separated, and the solution is computed in two phases by appropriate wavelet-Taylor Galerkin schemes. Asymptotic stability of all the proposed schemes is verified, and the L_∞ errors relative to the analytical solution together with the numerical solution are reported.

Multiple SLE and the complex Burgers equation

In this note we ask whether one can take the limit of multiple SLE as the number of slits goes to infinity. In the special case of n slits that connect n points of the boundary to one fixed point, one can take the limit of the Loewner equation that describes the growth of those slits in a simultaneous way. In this case, the limit is a deterministic Loewner equation whose vector field is determined by a complex Burgers equation.     

Burgers and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchies: A functional representation approach

Functional representations of (matrix) Burgers and potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (pKP) hierarchies (and others), as well as some corresponding Bäcklund transformations, can be obtained surprisingly simply from a “discrete” functional zero-curvature equation. We use these representations to show that any solution of a Burgers hierarchy is also a solution of the pKP hierarchy. Moreover, the pKP hierarchy can be expressed in the form of an inhomogeneous Burgers hierarchy. In particular, this leads to an extension of the Cole-Hopf transformation to the pKP hierarchy. Furthermore, these hierarchies are solved by the solutions of certain functional Riccati equations.     

The existence of solutions of a general boundary value problem for the divergence

This paper is concerned with the question of necessary and sufficient conditions to find a vector field V∈ Γ(TM) solving the equation div V = Φ under inhomogeneous boundary conditions V|_?M = Z|_?M with Z∈ Γ (TM) An existence and regularity result is given for an arbitrary Riemannian manifold with boundary, M. The proof is based on the Hodge theory of differential forms.     

A Note on Stochastic Burgers’ System of Equations

Abstract

We consider a stochastic version of a system of two equations formulated by Burgers [Burgers, J.M. Mathematical examples illustrating relations occurring in the theory of turbulent fluid motion. Verh. Kon. Nerderl. Akad. Weten-Schappen Amsterdam, Afdeel Natuurkunde, 1939, 17 (2), 1–53] with the aim to describe the laminar and turbulent motions of a fluid in a channel. The existence and uniqueness theorem for a global solution is established. The paper generalizes the result from the paper by Da Prato and Ga¸tarek [Da Prato, G.; Ga¸tarek, D. Stochastic Burgers equation with correlated noise. Stochastics Stochastics Rep. 1995, 52, 29–41] dealing with the equation describing only the turbulent motion.     

Pointwise Estimates for Laplace Equation. Applications to the Free Boundary of the Obstacle Problem with Dini Coefficients

In this paper we are interested in pointwise regularity of solutions to elliptic equations. In a first result, we prove that if the modulus of mean oscillation of Δu at the origin is Dini (in L ^p average), then the origin is a Lebesgue point of continuity (still in L ^p average) for the second derivatives D ² u. We extend this pointwise regularity result to the obstacle problem for the Laplace equation with Dini right hand side at the origin. Under these assumptions, we prove that the solution to the obstacle problem has a Taylor expansion up to the order 2 (in the L ^p average). Moreover we get a quantitative estimate of the error in this Taylor expansion for regular points of the free boundary. In the case where the right hand side is moreover double Dini at the origin, we also get a quantitative estimate of the error for singular points of the free boundary. Our method of proof is based on some decay estimates obtained by contradiction, using blow-up arguments and Liouville Theorems. In the case of singular points, our method uses moreover a refined monotonicity formula.      

A remark on unique continuation along and across lower‐dimensional planes for the wave equation

We prove unique continuation of solutions of the wave equation along and across lower‐dimensional planes containing the t‐axis. This is a sharpening and a generalization of a result of Cheng, Ding and Yamamoto as well as a simplification of the proof. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The global attractor of the viscous Fornberg–Whitham equation

This paper aims to present a proof of the existence of the attractor for the one-dimensional viscous Fornberg–Whitham equation. In this paper, the global existence of solution to the viscous Fornberg–Whitham equation in L² under the periodic boundary conditions is studied. By using the time estimate of the Fornberg–Whitham equation, we get the compact and bounded absorbing set and the existence of the global attractor for the viscous Fornberg–Whitham equation.
