A removable isolated singularity theorem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

We show that an isolated singularity at the origin 0 of a smooth solution (u,p) of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations is removable if the velocity u satisfies u∈Lⁿ or |u(x)|=o(|x|^-1) as x→0. Here n?3 denotes the dimension. As a byproduct of the proof, we also obtain a new interior regularity theorem.     

On the local behaviour of solutions of a certain class of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations

Here we prove Hölder regularity for bounded weak solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations with measurable coefficients. The prototype of this class of equations isu _t =Div(|u|^β|Du| ^p?2 Du)p>1, β>1?p     

Global solutions and self-similar solutions of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms a(x)|u|^q−1u|∇u|^p. We prove the existence of global solutions and self-similar solutions for small initial data. Moreover, for a class of initial data we show that the global solutions behave asymptotically like self-similar solutions as t→∞.     

Local regularity theorems for the stationary thermistor problem with oscillating degeneracy

In this paper we present some regularity results for solutions to the system −Δu=σ(u)²|∇φ|, div(σ(u)∇φ)=0 in the case where σ(u) is allowed to oscillate between 0 and a positive number as u→∞. In particular, we show that u is locally bounded if σ(u) is bounded below by a suitable exponential function.     

The focusing energy-critical Hartree equation

We consider the focusing energy-critical nonlinear Hartree equation iut+Δu=−(⁻⁴|x|∗²|u|)u. We proved that if a maximal-lifespan solution u:I×Rd→C satisfies supt∈I‖∇u(t)_‖2<‖∇W_‖2, where W is the static solution of the equation, then the maximal-lifespan I=R, moreover, the solution scatters in both time directions. For spherically symmetric initial data, similar result has been obtained in [C. Miao, G. Xu, L. Zhao, Global wellposedness, scattering and blowup for the energy-critical, focusing Hartree equation in the radial case, Colloq. Math., in press]. The argument is an adaptation of the recent work of R. Killip and M. Visan [R. Killip, M. Visan, The focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions five and higher, preprint] on energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations.     

On the uniqueness of strong solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global strong solution for any β>3 and the strong solution is unique when 3<β?5. This improves earlier results.     

Weak and strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global weak solutions for any β?1, global strong solution for any β?7/2 and that the strong solution is unique for any 7/2?β?5.     

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for quasilinear nonhomogeneous problems: An Orlicz-Sobolev space setting

We study the boundary value problem −div(log(1+q|∇u|)|∇u|^p−2∇u)=f(u) in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in RN with smooth boundary. We distinguish the cases where either f(u)=−λ|u|^p−2u+|u|^r−2u or f(u)=λ|u|^p−2u−|u|^r−2u, with p, q>1, p+q<min{N,r}, and r<(Np−N+p)/(N−p). In the first case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ>0. In the second case we prove the existence of a nontrivial weak solution if λ is sufficiently large. Our approach relies on adequate variational methods in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
