Local solvability of a nonstationary leakage problem for an ideal incompressible fluid, 3

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the leakage problem for the Euler equations in bounded domain Ω C R³ with corners π/n, n = 2, 3… We consider the case where the tangent components of the vorticity vector are given on the part S₁ of the boundary where the fluid enters the domain. We prove the existence of an unique solution in the Sobolev space W_p^l(Ω), for arbitrary natural l and p > 1. The proof is divided on three parts: (1) the existence of solutions of the elliptic problem in the domain with corners where v – velocity vector, ω – vorticity vector and n is an unit outward vector normal to the boundary, (2) the existence of solutions of the following evolution problem for given velocity vector (3) the method of successive approximations, using solvability of problems (1) and (2).     

On some bilinear problems on weighted Hardy‐Sobolev spaces

In this paper we study the bilinear problem of characterizing the positive Borel measures μ on S ⁿ, satisfying where $H_s^2(w)$ and $H_t^2(w)$ are weighted Hardy‐Sobolev spaces, under adequate conditions on the weight w.     

Newton's method and periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations

We prove the existence of periodic solutions of the nonlinear wave equation satisfying either Dirichlet or periodic boundary conditions on the interval [O, π]. The coefficients of the eigenfunction expansion of this equation satisfy a nonlinear functional equation. Using a version of Newton's method, we show that this equation has solutions provided the nonlinearity g(x, u) satisfies certain generic conditions of nonresonance and genuine nonlinearity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The threshold of effective damping for semilinear wave equations

In this paper, we obtain the global existence of small data solutions to the Cauchy problem in space dimension n ≥ 1, for p > 1 + 2 ∕ n, where μ is sufficiently large. We obtain estimates for the solution and its energy with the same decay rate of the linear problem. In particular, for μ ≥ 2 + n, the damping term is effective with respect to the L¹ ? L² low‐frequency estimates for the solution and its energy. In this case, we may prove global existence in any space dimension n ≥ 3, by assuming smallness of the initial data in some weighted energy space. In space dimension n = 1,2, we only assume smallness of the data in some Sobolev spaces, and we introduce an approach based on fractional Sobolev embedding to improve the threshold for global existence to μ ≥ 5 ∕ 3 in space dimension n = 1 and to μ ≥ 3 in space dimension n = 2.

Cauchy Problem with Subcritical Nonlinearity

The semilinear parabolic system onRⁿwith subcritical nonlinearity is studied as an abstract evolutionary equation in a Banach spaceX ? ^p(Rⁿ). As in the case of bounded domains the existence of a strongly continuous semigroup of globalX^α-solutions and its dissipativeness is shown to follow from a single estimate of solutions. Despite the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embeddings inRⁿthe compactness of trajectories of the semigroup is proved using the auxiliary estimate of solutions in a weighted space ^p(Rⁿ, (1 + |x|²)^ν), and the existence of a global attractor is also shown. Thus this paper generalizes earlier considerations and provides a basis for further applications.     

On a certain nonstationary problem in a dihedral angle. I

An initial-boundary value problem is considered for the heat conduction equation in a dihedral angleD Rⁿ, on one face of which the classical Neumann boundary condition is satisfied, while on the other one the condition where x > 0, h 0, b_j are real constants. The unique solvability of such a problem is proved in weighted Sobolev spaces and estimates of the solution are obtained under natural restrictions on the opening of the dihedral angle.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Inhomogeneous infinity Laplace equation

We present the theory of the viscosity solutions of the inhomogeneous infinity Laplace equation in domains in Rn. We show existence and uniqueness of a viscosity solution of the Dirichlet problem under the intrinsic condition f does not change its sign. We also discover a characteristic property, which we call the comparison with standard functions property, of the viscosity sub- and super-solutions of the equation with constant right-hand side. Applying these results and properties, we prove the stability of the inhomogeneous infinity Laplace equation with nonvanishing right-hand side, which states the uniform convergence of the viscosity solutions of the perturbed equations to that of the original inhomogeneous equation when both the right-hand side and boundary data are perturbed. In the end, we prove the stability of the well-known homogeneous infinity Laplace equation , which states the viscosity solutions of the perturbed equations converge uniformly to the unique viscosity solution of the homogeneous equation when its right-hand side and boundary data are perturbed simultaneously.     

Strichartz type estimates for fractional heat equations

We obtain Strichartz estimates for the fractional heat equations by using both the abstract Strichartz estimates of Keel-Tao and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. We also prove an endpoint homogeneous Strichartz estimate via replacing by BMOx(Rn) and a parabolic homogeneous Strichartz estimate. Meanwhile, we generalize the Strichartz estimates by replacing the Lebesgue spaces with either Besov spaces or Sobolev spaces. Moreover, we establish the Strichartz estimates for the fractional heat equations with a time dependent potential of an appropriate integrability. As an application, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of regular solutions in spatial variables for the generalized Navier-Stokes system with Lr(Rn) data.

Remark on the global existence and large time asymptotics of solutions for the quadratic NLS

We study the global in time existence of small solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with quadratic interactions (0.1) We prove that if the initial data u₀ satisfy smallness conditions in the weighted Sobolev norm, then the solution of the Cauchy problem (0.1) exists globally in time. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the usual scattering states and find the large time asymptotics of the solutions.     

Global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for a semi-linear wave equation

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem for a semi-linear wave equation in n-dimensional space. Based on the decay estimate of solutions to the corresponding linear equation, we define a set of time-weighted Sobolev spaces. Under small condition on the initial value, we prove the global existence and asymptotic behavior of the solution in the corresponding Sobolev spaces by the contraction mapping principle.     

The resolvent problem for the stokes system in exterior domains: An elementary approach

We consider the Stokes system with resolvent parameter in an exterior domain: under Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here Ω is a bounded domain with C² boundary, and [λ??\] ? [∞, 0], ν >0. Using the method of integral equations, we are able to construct solutions ( u , π) in L^p spaces. Our approach yields an integral representation of these solutions. By evaluating the corresponding integrals, we obtain L^p estimates that imply in particular that the Stokes operator on exterior domains generates an analytic semigroup in L^p.     

An Lq-theory for weak solutions of the stokes system in exterior domains

We introduce a new concept for weak solutions in L^q-spaces, 1 < q < ∞, of the Stokes system in an exterior domain Ω ? ?ⁿ, n ? 2. Defining the variational formulation in the homogeneous Sobolev space $ \mathop H\limits^.{_{0}}^{1,q} (\Omega )^n = \{ u \in L_{1{\rm oc}}^q (\overline \Omega )^n;\nabla u \in L^q (\Omega )^{n^2 },u\left| {_{\partial \Omega } = 0} \right.\},$ we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for an arbitrary external force and a prescribed divergence g = div u. On the other hand, solutions in the sense of distributions which are defined by taking test functions only in C(Ω)ⁿ are not unique if q > n/(n?1). In this case, a hidden boundary condition related to the force exerted on the body may be imposed to single out a unique solution.     

Global existence of the radially symmetric solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the isentropic compressible fluids

We study the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with radially symmetric data in an annular domain. We first prove the global existence and regularity results on the radially symmetric weak solutions with non‐negative bounded densities. Then we prove the global existence of radially symmetric strong solutions when the initial data ρ₀, u ₀ satisfy the compatibility condition for some radially symmetric g ∈ L². The initial density ρ₀ needs not be positive. We also prove some uniqueness results on the strong solutions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiple impulse solutions to McKean's caricature of the nerve equation. I—existence

McKean's caricature of the nerve equation: is considered. The H in (1) is the Heaviside function. We prove the existence of multiple impulse solutions consisting of any finite number of pulses. These solutions are referred to as n-ple impulse solutions, where n is an arbitrary positive integer.     

Locating the peaks of solutions via the maximum principle II: A local version of the method of moving planes

Let Ω be a bounded, smooth domain in ?²ⁿ, n ≥ 2. The well‐known Moser‐Trudinger inequality ensures the nonlinear functional J_ρ(u) is bounded from below if and only if ρ ≤ ρ_2n := 2²ⁿn!(n ? 1)!ω_2n, where in , and ω_2n is the area of the unit sphere ??^{2n ? 1} in ?²ⁿ. In this paper, we prove the inf_u∈X J_ρ(u) is always attained for ρ ≤ ρ_2n. The existence of minimizers of J_ρ at the critical value ρ = ρ_2n is a delicate problem. The proof depends on the blowup analysis for a sequence of bubbling solutions. Here we develop a local version of the method of moving planes to exclude the boundary bubbling. The existence of minimizers for J_ρ at the critical value ρ = ρ_2n is in contrast to the case of two dimensions. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Solvability of an initial boundary value problem for the euler equations in twodimensional domain with corners

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of local solutions of some initial boundary value problems for the Euler equations of an incompressible fluid in a bounded domain Ω ? R ² with corners. We consider two cases of a nonvanishing normal component of velocity on the boundary. In three-dimensional case such problems have been considered in papers [12], [13], [14]. Similar problems in domains without corners have been considered in [2]–[6], [11]. In this paper the relation between the maximal corner angle of the boundary and the smoothness of the solutions is shown. The paper consists of four sections. In section 1 two initial boundary value problems for the Euler equations are formulated. In section 2 the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Laplace equation in twodimensional domain with corners for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems is proved in the Sobolev spaces. In sections 3 and 4 we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of problems formulated in section 1, using the method of successive approximations.     

Classification of solutions for an integral equation

Let n be a positive integer and let 0 < α < n. Consider the integral equation We prove that every positive regular solution u(x) is radially symmetric and monotone about some point and therefore assumes the form with some constant c = c(n, α) and for some t > 0 and x₀ ? ?ⁿ. This solves an open problem posed by Lieb 12 . The technique we use is the method of moving planes in an integral form, which is quite different from those for differential equations. From the point of view of general methodology, this is another interesting part of the paper. Moreover, we show that the family of well‐known semilinear partial differential equations is equivalent to our integral equation (0.1), and we thus classify all the solutions of the PDEs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Multiple solutions for non-homogeneous degenerate Schrödinger equations in cone Sobolev spaces

The present paper deals with the study of semilinear and non-homogeneous Schrödinger equations on a manifold with conical singularity. We provide a suitable constant by Sobolev embedding constant and for p ∈ (2, 2?) with respect to non-homogeneous term g(x) ∈ L ₂ ^n/2 (B), which helps to find multiple solutions of our problem. More precisely, we prove the existence of two solutions to the problem 1.1 with negative and positive energy in cone Sobolev space H _2,0 ^1,n/2 (B). Finally, we consider p = 2 and we prove the existence and uniqueness of Fuchsian-Poisson problem.     

On singularities of solution of Maxwell's equations in axisymmetric domains with conical points

Boundary value problems (BVP) in three‐dimensional axisymmetric domains can be treated more efficiently by partial Fourier analysis. Partial Fourier analysis is applied to time‐harmonic Maxwell's equations in three‐dimensional axisymmetric domains with conical points on the rotation axis thereby reducing the three dimensional BVP to an infinite sequence of 2D BVPs on the plane meridian domain Ω_a?? of . The regularity of the solutions u _n (n∈?₀:={0, 1, 2,…}) of the two dimensional BVPs is investigated and it is proved that the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions u _n near an angular point on the rotation axis can be characterized by singularity functions related to the solutions of some associated Legendre equations. By means of numerical experiments, it is shown that the solutions u _n for n∈?₀\{1} belong to the Sobolev space H² irrespective of the size of the solid angle at the conical point. However, the regularity of the coefficient u ₁ depends on the size of the solid angle at the conical point. The singular solutions of the three dimensional BVP are obtained by Fourier synthesis.
