Maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equation

In the paper, a maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equation over an open bounded domain is formulated and proved. The proof of the maximum principle is based on an extremum principle for the Caputo-Dzherbashyan fractional derivative that is given in the paper, too. The maximum principle is then applied to show that the initial-boundary-value problem for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equation possesses at most one classical solution and this solution continuously depends on the initial and boundary conditions.

Analysis of a system of fractional differential equations

We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the initial value problem for the system of fractional differential equations , where D^α denotes standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, 0<α<1, and A is a square matrix. The unique solution to this initial value problem turns out to be , where E_α denotes the Mittag-Leffler function generalized for matrix arguments. Further we analyze the system , , 0<α<1, and investigate dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.     

Asymptotic expansions for Riesz fractional derivatives of Airy functions and applications

Riesz fractional derivatives of a function, (also called Riesz potentials), are defined as fractional powers of the Laplacian. Asymptotic expansions for large x are computed for the Riesz fractional derivatives of the Airy function of the first kind, Ai(x), and the Scorer function, Gi(x). Reduction formulas are provided that allow one to express Riesz potentials of products of Airy functions, and , via and . Here Bi(x) is the Airy function of the second type. Integral representations are presented for the function A₂(a,b;x)=Ai(x−a)Ai(x−b) with a,b∈R and its Hilbert transform. Combined with the above asymptotic expansions they can be used for computing asymptotics of the Hankel transform of . These results are used for obtaining the weak rotation approximation for the Ostrovsky equation (asymptotics of the fundamental solution of the linearized Cauchy problem as the rotation parameter tends to zero).     

Well-posedness and ill-posedness for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation

In this paper we establish a new bilinear estimate in suitable Bourgain spaces by using a fundamental estimate on dyadic blocks for the Kawahara equation which was obtained by the [k;Z] multiplier norm method of Tao (2001) [2]; then the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation in with is obtained by the Fourier restriction norm method. And some ill-posedness in with is derived from a general principle of Bejenaru and Tao.     

Well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of Ostrovsky equation in anisotropic Sobolev spaces

We study the Cauchy problem of the Ostrovsky equation , with βγ<0. By establishing a bilinear estimate on the anisotropic Bourgain space Xs,ω,b, we prove that the Cauchy problem of this equation is locally well-posed in the anisotropic Sobolev space H(s,ω)(R) for any and some . Using this result and conservation laws of this equation, we also prove that the Cauchy problem of this equation is globally well-posed in H(s,ω)(R) for s?0.

Ill-posedness of the Navier-Stokes equations in a critical space in 3D

We prove that the Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is ill-posed in in the sense that a “norm inflation” happens in finite time. More precisely, we show that initial data in the Schwartz class S that are arbitrarily small in can produce solutions arbitrarily large in after an arbitrarily short time. Such a result implies that the solution map itself is discontinuous in at the origin.     

On global solution to the Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation below energy space

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for Klein-Gordon equation with a cubic convolution nonlinearity in R³. By making use of Bourgain's method in conjunction with a precise Strichartz estimate of S. Klainerman and D. Tataru, we establish the Hs (s<1) global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the cubic convolution defocusing Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation. Before arriving at the previously discussed conclusion, we obtain global solution for this non-scaling equation with small initial data in Hs₀×Hs₀−1 where but not , for this equation that we consider is a subconformal equation in some sense. In doing so a number of nonlinear prior estimates are already established by using Bony's decomposition, flexibility of Klein-Gordon admissible pairs which are slightly different from that of wave equation and a commutator estimate. We establish this commutator estimate by exploiting cancellation property and utilizing Coifman and Meyer multilinear multiplier theorem. As far as we know, it seems that this is the first result on low regularity for this Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation.     

Well-posedness and persistence properties for the Novikov equation

Recently, Novikov found a new integrable equation (we call it the Novikov equation in this paper), which has nonlinear terms that are cubic, rather than quadratic, and admits peaked soliton solutions (peakons). Firstly, we prove that the Cauchy problem for the Novikov equation is locally well-posed in the Besov spaces (which generalize the Sobolev spaces Hs) with the critical index . Then, well-posedness in Hs with , is also established by applying Kato's semigroup theory. Finally, we present two results on the persistence properties of the strong solution for the Novikov equation.

In this paper, we consider the stochastic Burgers' equation driven by a genuine cylindrical fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter . We first prove the regularities of the solution to the linear stochastic problem corresponding to the stochastic Burgers' equation. Then we obtain the local and global existence and uniqueness results for the stochastic Burgers' equation.

The fundamental solution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation

A space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is a generalization of the classical ADE in which the first-order time derivative is replaced with Caputo derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1], and the second-order space derivative is replaced with a Riesz-Feller derivative of order β ∈ (0, 2]. We derive the solution of its Cauchy problem in terms of the Green functions and the representations of the Green function by applying its Fourier-Laplace transforms. The Green function also can be interpreted as a spatial probability density function (pdf) evolving in time. We do the same on another kind of space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation whose space and time derivatives both replacing with Caputo derivatives.
