The blowup mechanism for 3-D quasilinear wave equations with small data

For a class of special three-dimensional quasilinear wave equations, we study the blowup mechanism of classical solutions. More precisely, under the nondegenerate conditions, any radially symmetric solution with small initial data is shown to develop singularities in the second order derivatives while the first order derivatives and itself remain continuous, moreover the blowup of solution is of “cusp type”.     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND OPTIMAL CONVERGENCE RATES OF SOLUTIONS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC FLUID SYSTEM

In this article, we study the electromagnetic fluid system in three-dimensional whole space R~3. Under assumption of small initial data, we establish the unique global solution by energy method. Moreover, we obtain the time decay rates of the higher-order spatial derivatives of the solution by combining the L~p-L~q estimates for the linearized equations and an elaborate energy method when the L~1-norm of the perturbation is bounded.     

3D Multiphase Piecewise Constant Level Set Method Based on Graph Cut Minimization

Segmentation of three-dimensional (3D) complicated structures is of great importance for many real applications. In this work we combine graph cut minimization method with a variant of the level set idea for 3D segmentation based on the Mumford-Shah model. Compared with the traditional approach for solving the Euler-Lagrange equation we do not need to solve any partial differential equations. Instead, the minimum cut on a special designed graph need to be computed. The method is tested on data with complicated structures. It is rather stable with respect to initial value and the algorithm is nearly parameter free. Experiments show that it can solve large problems much faster than traditional approaches.     

A Positivity-preserving Finite Element Method for Quantum Drift-diffusion Model

In this paper, we propose a positivity-preserving finite element method for solving the three-dimensional quantum drift-diffusion model. The model consists of five nonlinear elliptic equations, and two of them describe quantum corrections for quasi-Fermi levels. We propose an interpolated-exponential finite element (IEFE) method for solving the two quantum-correction equations. The IEFE method always yields positive carrier densities and preserves the positivity of second-order differential operators in the Newton linearization of quantum-correction equations. Moreover, we solve the two continuity equations with the edge-averaged finite element (EAFE) method to reduce numerical oscillations of quasi-Fermi levels. The Poisson equation of electrical potential is solved with standard Lagrangian finite elements. We prove the existence of solution to the nonlinear discrete problem by using a fixed-point iteration and solving the minimum problem of a new discrete functional. A Newton method is proposed to solve the nonlinear discrete problem. Numerical experiments for a three-dimensional nano-scale FinFET device show that the Newton method is robust for source-to-gate bias voltages up to 9V and source-to-drain bias voltages up to 10V.     

Local existence in retarded time under a weak decay on complete null cones

In the previous paper(see Li and Zhu(2014)), for a characteristic problem with not necessarily small initial data given on a complete null cone decaying like that in the work of the stability of Minkowski spacetime by Christodoulou and Klainerman(1993), we proved the local existence in retarded time, which means the solution to the vacuum Einstein equations exists in a uniform future neighborhood, while the global existence in retarded time is the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. In this paper, we prove that the local existence in retarded time still holds when the data is assumed to decay slower, like that in Bieri's work(2007)on the extension to the stability of Minkowski spacetime. Such decay guarantees the existence of the limit of the Hawking mass on the initial null cone, when approaching to infinity, in an optimal way.     

ON THE SELF-SIMILAR SOLUTIONS OF THE MAGNETO-HYDRO-DYNAMIC EQUATIONS

In this paper, we show that, for the three dimensional incompressible magnetohydro-dynamic equations, there exists only trivial backward self-similar solution in L^p（R^3） for p ≥ 3, under some smallness assumption on either the kinetic energy of the self-similar solution related to the velocity field, or the magnetic field. Second, we construct a class of global unique forward self-similar solutions to the three-dimensional MHD equations with small initial data in some sense, being homogeneous of degree -1 and belonging to some Besov space, or the Lorentz space or pseudo-measure space, as motivated by the work in [5].     

Remarks on the local version of the inverse scattering method

It is very likely that all local holomorphic solutions of integrable (1+1)-dimensional parabolic-type evolution equations can be obtained from the zero solution by formal gauge transformations that belong (as formal power series) to appropriate Gevrey classes. We describe in detail the construction of solutions by means of convergent gauge transformations and prove an assertion converse to the above conjecture; namely, we suggest a simple necessary condition for the existence of a local holomorphic solution to the Cauchy problem for the evolution equations under consideration in terms of scattering data of initial conditions.     

Stability of the nonconstant stationary solution to the Poisson–Nernst–Planck–Navier–Stokes equations

We study the three-dimensional Cauchy problem of the Poisson–Nernst–Planck–Navier–Stokes equations. We first show that the corresponding stationary system has a unique semi-trivial solution under a general doping profile. Under initial small perturbations around such the semi-trivial stationary solution and small doping profile, we obtain the unique global-in-time solution to the non-stationary system. Moreover, we prove the asymptotic convergence of the solution toward the semi-trivial stationary solution as time tends to infinity.     

Large time existence of small viscous surface waves without surface tension

The motion of a three-dimensional viscous, imcompressible fluid is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. We study the case where the fluid is in an ocean of infinite extent and finite depth with a free surface on top. This gives rise to a nonlinear free boundary problem. The given data are the initial velocity field and the initial free surface. In general, given smooth data, the solution will develop singularities in finite time; however, the effect of viscosity and surface tension tends to prevent the ingulitrities. It was previously known that when both are present, small, appropriately smooth solutions do not develop singularities; that is, smooth solutions exist globally in time. In this paper, we show that viscosity alone will prevent the formation of singularitics, even without surface tension; i.e., small smooth data which satisfy certain natural compatibility conditions, smooth solutions exist for all time. Uniqueness of the solution for any finite time interval is also proved.
