On the convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility

In this paper, we study the existence of weak solutions for the convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. Based on the Schauder type estimates, we establish the global existence of classical solutions for regularized problems. After establishing some necessary uniform estimates on the approximate solutions, we prove the existence of weak solutions. The nonnegativity and the finite speed of propagation of perturbations of solutions are also discussed.     

Regularization of convex variational problems with applications to generalized Newtonian fluids

We study variational problems with convex integrands of very general structure by introducing certain regularizations leading to particular minimizers. In a second part we apply the method to stationary generalized Newtonian fluids which gives the existence of solutions under weak hypotheses on the dissipative potential. In particular the potential is not required to be a strictly convex function.Received: 29 July 2003     

Lq‐estimates for the stationary Oseen equations on the exterior of a rotating obstacle

We study the Dirichlet problem for the stationary Oseen equations around a rotating body in an exterior domain. Our main results are the existence and uniqueness of weak and very weak solutions satisfying appropriate L^q‐estimates. The uniqueness of very weak solutions is shown by the method of cut‐off functions with an anisotropic decay. Then our existence result for very weak solutions is deduced by a duality argument from the existence and estimates of strong solutions. From this and interior regularity of very weak solutions, we finally establish the complete D^1,r‐result for weak solutions of the Oseen equations around a rotating body in an exterior domain, where 4/3<r <4. Here, D^1,r is the homogeneous Sobolev space.     

Strong solutions and trajectory attractors to the thin-film equation with absorption

We prove local and global in time existence of non-negative weak solutions to the thin-film equation with absorption and obtain sufficient conditions for extra regularity of these solutions. Moreover, for the class of global strong solutions, we show existence of a trajectory attractor.     

On the Weak Solution to the Equations of Antiferromagnets

This paper is concerned with the global existence of weak solutions to the periodic initial value problem of the system of antiferromagnets. Using the Galerkin method and Aubin-Lions Lemma, we get the existence of weak solutions. Some regularity results are also given     

Equilibrium Problems with Generalized Monotone Bifunctions and Applications to Variational Inequalities

This paper attempts to generalize and unify several new results that have been obtained in the ongoing research area of existence of solutions for equilibrium problems. First, we propose sufficient conditions, which include generalized monotonicity and weak coercivity conditions, for existence of equilibrium points. As consequences, we generalize various recent theorems on the existence of such solutions. For applications, we treat some generalized variational inequalities and complementarity problems. In addition, considering penalty functions, we study the position of a selected solution by relying on the viscosity principle.     

Very weak, generalized and strong solutions to the Stokes system in the half-space

In this paper, we study the Stokes system in the half-space , with N?2. We give existence and uniqueness results in weighted Sobolev spaces. After the central case of the generalized solutions, we are interested in strong solutions and symmetrically in very weak solutions by means of a duality argument.     

Blow-up properties in the parabolic problems with anisotropic nonstandard growth conditions

In this paper, we study the parabolic problems with anisotropic nonstandard growth nonlinearities. We first give the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions in variable Sobolev spaces. Second, we use the energy methods to show the existence of blow-up solutions with negative or positive initial energy, respectively. Both the variable exponents and the coefficients make important roles in Fujita blow-up phenomena. Moreover, asymptotic properties of the blow-up solutions are determined.     

Existence of weak solutions for steady viscous fluids with general slip boundary conditions

We study the existence of weak solutions for stationary viscous fluids with general slip boundary conditions in this paper. Applying monotone operator theory, we first establish the existence result of weak solutions for an approximation problem. Then using the compactness methods and the point-wise convergence property of velocity gradients, we get the desired results.     

Existence of global weak solutions to 2D reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model

We study the global existence of weak solutions to a reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model appearing in oceanic fluid dynamics in two-dimensional torus. Based on Faedo–Galerkin method and weak convergence method, we construct the global weak solutions which are renormalized in velocity variable, where the technique of renormalized solutions was introduced by Lacroix-Violet and Vasseur (2018). Besides, we prove that the renormalized solutions are weak solutions, which satisfy the basic energy inequality and Bresch–Desjardins entropy inequality, but not the Mellet–Vasseur type inequality. In the proof, we use the reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model with drag forces and capillary term as approximate system. It should be pointed out that only when the capillary term vanishes, we prove the existence of renormalized solution to the approximation system, which is different from Lacroix-Violet and Vasseur (2018) with the quantum potential.
