We will show that if γ = 0 and 0 μ 2N/(N(m-1)+2), or γ 0 and 1/(p-1)μ2N/(N(m-1)+2), then for any nonnegative function φ in a nonnegative countable subset F of the Schwartz space S (R N ), there exists an initial-value u0 ∈C(RN) with lim x →∞ u 0 (x) = 0 such that φ is an ω-limit point of the rescaled solutions t μ/2 u(t β·, t), where β =[2-μ(m-1)]/4 .     

Fujita-Liouville Type Theorem for Coupled Fourth-Order Parabolic Inequalities

This paper deals with a coupled system of fourth-order parabolic inequalities |u|t ≥ 2u + |v|q,|v|t ≥ 2v + |u|p in S = Rn × R+ with p,q > 1,n ≥ 1.A FujitaLiouville type theorem is established that the inequality system does not admit nontrivial nonnegative global solutions on S whenever n4 ≤ max(ppq+11,pqq+11).Since the general maximum-comparison principle does not hold for the fourth-order problem,the authors use the test function method to get the global non-existence of nontrivial solutions.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND BLOW-UP OF SOLUTIONS FOR GENERALIZED POCHHAMMER-CHREE EQUATIONS

In this article,we study the initial boundary value problem of generalized Pochhammer-Chree equation u_(tt)-u_(xx)-u_(xxt)-u_(xxtt)=f(u) xx,x ∈Ω,t 0,u(x,0) = u0(x),u t(x,0)=u1(x),x ∈Ω,u(0,t) = u(1,t) = 0,t≥0,where Ω=(0,1).First,we obtain the existence of local W k,p solutions.Then,we prove that,if f(s) ∈ΩC k+1(R) is nondecreasing,f(0) = 0 and |f(u)|≤C1|u| u 0 f(s)ds+C2,u 0(x),u 1(x) ∈ΩW k,p(Ω) ∩ W 1,p 0(Ω),k ≥ 1,1 p ≤∞,then for any T 0 the problem admits a unique solution u(x,t) ∈ W 2,∞(0,T;W k,p(Ω) ∩ W 1,p 0(Ω)).Finally,the finite time blow-up of solutions and global W k,p solution of generalized IMBq equations are discussed.     

EXISTENCE AND NONEXISTENCE OF GLOBAL POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR DEGENERATE PARABOLIC EQUATIONS IN EXTERIOR DOMAINS

This article deals with the degenerate parabolic equations in exterior domains and with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain that pc = (σ+m)n/(n-σ-2) is its critical exponent provided max{-1, [(1-m)n-2]/(n+1)} σ n-2. This critical exponent is not the same as that for the corresponding equations with the boundary value 0, but is more closely tied to the critical exponent of the elliptic type degenerate equations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if max{1, σ + m} p ≤ pc, then every positive solution of the equations blows up in finite time; whereas for ppc, the equations admit global positive solutions for some boundary values and initial data. Meantime, we also demonstrate that its positive solutions blow up in finite time provided n ≤σ+2.

CRITICAL EXPONENTS AND CRITICAL DIMENSIONS FOR NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS WITH SINGULAR COEFFICIENTS

Let B1 ■ RNbe a unit ball centered at the origin. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the critical dimension phenomenon for radial solutions of the following quasilinear elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev exponent and singular coefficients:-div(|▽u|p-2▽u) = |x|s|u|p*(s)-2u + λ|x|t|u|p-2u, x ∈ B1,u|■B1= 0,where t, s -p, 2 ≤ p N, p*(s) =(N+s)p N-pand λ is a real parameter.

Multiple positive solutions for a fourth-order p-Laplacian Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems on time scales

In this paper, we investigate the existence of multiple positive solutions for the following fourthorder p-Laplacian Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems on time scales ﹛[φp(u△△(t))u △△= f(t, u(σ(t))), t ∈ [a, b],α0 u(a)- β0u△(a) = 0, γ0 u(σ(b)) + δ0 u△(σ(b)) = 0,α0(φp(u△△))(a)- β0(φp(u△△))△(a) = 0,γ0(φp(u△△))(σ(b)) + δ0(φp(u△△))△(σ(b)) = 0,where φp(s) is the p-Laplacian operator. Under growth conditions on the nonlinearity f some existence results of at least two and three positive solutions for the above problem are obtained by virtue of fixed point theorems on cone. In particular, the nonlinearity f may be both sublinear and superlinear.     

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE CHAFEE-INFANTE EQUATION

In higher dimension, there are many interesting and challenging problems about the dynamics of non-autonomous Chafee-Infante equation. This article is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the non–autonomous Chafee-Infante equation (?u)/(?t)-?u =λ(t)(u-u~3) in higher dimension, where λ(t) ∈ C~1[0, T ] and λ(t) is a positive, periodic function.We denote λ_1 as the first eigenvalue of-?? = λ?, x ∈ ?; ? = 0, x ∈ ??. For any spatial dimension N ≥ 1, we prove that if λ(t) ≤λ_1, then the nontrivial solutions converge to zero,namely, ■ u(x, t) = 0, x ∈ ?; if λ(t) λ_1 as t → +∞, then the positive solutions t→+∞are "attracted" by positive periodic solutions. Specially, if λ(t) is independent of t, then the positive solutions converge to positive solutions of-?U = λ(U-U~3). Furthermore,numerical simulations are presented to verify our results.     

具位势项的快扩散方程的第二临界指标

This paper considers a fast diffusion equation with potential ut= um V (x)um+upin Rn×(0,T), where 1 2αm+n< m ≤ 1, p > 1, n ≥ 2, V (x) ～ω|x|2with ω≥ 0 as |x| →∞,and α is the positive root of αm(αm + n 2) ω = 0. The critical Fujita exponent was determined as pc= m +2αm+nin a previous paper of the authors. In the present paper,we establish the second critical exponent to identify the global and non-global solutions in their co-existence parameter region p > pcvia the critical decay rates of the initial data.With u0(x) ～ |x| aas |x| →∞, it is shown that the second critical exponent a =2p m,independent of the potential parameter ω, is quite different from the situation for the critical exponent pc.     

TWO POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO THREE-POINT SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this article, we consider the existence of two positive solutions to nonlinear second order three-point singular boundary value problem: -u′′(t) = λf(t, u(t)) for all t ∈ (0, 1) subjecting to u(0) = 0 and αu(η) = u(1), where η∈ (0, 1), α∈ [0, 1), and λ is a positive parameter. The nonlinear term f(t, u) is nonnegative, and may be singular at t = 0, t = 1, and u = 0. By the fixed point index theory and approximation method, we establish that there exists λ* ∈ (0, +∞], such that the above problem has at least two positive solutions for any λ∈ (0, λ*) under certain conditions on the nonlinear term f.

Under some assumptions on f and h, they prove that there exists a positive constant μ* <∞ such that problem (*)μ has at least one positive solution uμ if μ,∈ (0,μ*), there are no solutions for (*)μ if μ, > μ* and uμ is increasing with respect to μ∈ (0,μ*); furthermore, problem (*)μ has at least two positive solution for μ ∈ (0,μ*) and a unique positive solution for μ, =μ* if p ≤2N/N-2.     

GLOBAL ASYMPTOTICS TOWARD THE RAREFACTION WAVES FOR A PARABOLIC-ELLIPTIC SYSTEM RELATED TO THE CAMASSA-HOLM SHALLOW WATER EQUATION

This article is concerned with the global existence and large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a parabolic-elliptic system related to the Camassa-Holm shallow water equation with the initial data u(0,x) = u0(x)→±, as x→±∞. (Ⅰ) Here, u- < u+ are two constants and f(u) is a sufficiently smooth function satisfying f"(u) > 0 for all u under consideration. Main aim of this article is to study the relation between solutions to the above Cauchy problem and those to the Riemann problem of the following nonlinear conservation law It is well known that if u- < u+, the above Riemann problem admits a unique global entropy solution uR(x/t) Let U(t, x) be the smooth approximation of the rarefaction wave profile constructed similar to that of [21, 22, 23], we show that if u<,0>(x) - U(0,x) ∈H1(R) and u- < u+, the above Cauchy problem (E) and (I) admits a unique global classical solution u(t, x) which tends to the rarefaction wave uR(x/t) as t→+∞ in the maximum norm. The proof is given by an elementary energy method.     

NEW PROOFS OF THE DECAY ESTIMATE WITH SHARP RATE OF THE GLOBAL WEAK SOLUTION OF THE n-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

Consider the Cauchy problem for the n-dimensional incompressible NavierStokes equations:??tu-α△u+(u·?)u+?p = f(x, t), with the initial condition u(x, 0) = u0(x) and with the incompressible conditions ? · u = 0, ? · f = 0 and ? · u0= 0. The spatial dimension n ≥ 2.Suppose that the initial function u0∈ L1(Rn) ∩ L2(Rn) and the external force f ∈ L1(Rn× R+) ∩ L1(R+, L2(Rn)). It is well known that there holds the decay estimate with sharp rate:(1 + t)1+n/2∫Rn|u(x, t)|2 dx ≤ C, for all time t 0, where the dimension n ≥ 2, C 0 is a positive constant, independent of u and(x, t).The main purpose of this paper is to provide two independent proofs of the decay estimate with sharp rate, both are complete, systematic, simplified proofs, under a weaker condition on the external force. The ideas and methods introduced in this paper may have strong influence on the decay estimates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions or the global smooth solutions of similar equations, such as the n-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics equations, where the dimension n ≥ 2.     

Existence and Global Asymptotic Behavior of Positive Solutions for Sublinear and Superlinear Fractional Boundary Value Problems

In this paper, the authors aim at proving two existence results of fractional differential boundary value problems of the form(P_(a,b)){D~αu(x) + f(x, u(x)) = 0, x ∈(0, 1),u(0) = u(1) = 0, D~(α-3)u(0) = a, u(1) =-b,where 3 α≤ 4, Dαis the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and a, b are nonnegative constants. First the authors suppose that f(x, t) =-p(x)t~σ, with σ∈(-1, 1)and p being a nonnegative continuous function that may be singular at x = 0 or x = 1and satisfies some conditions related to the Karamata regular variation theory. Combining sharp estimates on some potential functions and the Sch¨auder fixed point theorem, the authors prove the existence of a unique positive continuous solution to problem(P_(0,0)).Global estimates on such a solution are also obtained. To state the second existence result, the authors assume that a, b are nonnegative constants such that a + b 0 and f(x, t) = tφ(x, t), with φ(x, t) being a nonnegative continuous function in(0, 1)×[0, ∞) that is required to satisfy some suitable integrability condition. Using estimates on the Green's function and a perturbation argument, the authors prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive continuous solution u to problem(P_(a,b)), which behaves like the unique solution of the homogeneous problem corresponding to(P_(a,b)). Some examples are given to illustrate the existence results.     

MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF SEMIPOSITONE NEUMANN PROBLEMS WITH SINGULAR φ-LAPLACIAN

We study the existence of multiple positive solutions for a Neumann problem with singular φ-Laplacian{-(φ(u′))′= λf(u), x ∈(0, 1),u′(0) = 0 = u′(1),where λ is a positive parameter, φ(s) =s/(1-s~2)~(1/2), f ∈ C~1([0, ∞), R), f′(u) 0 for u 0, and for some 0 β θ such that f(u) 0 for u ∈ [0, β)(semipositone) and f(u) 0 for u β.Under some suitable assumptions, we obtain the existence of multiple positive solutions of the above problem by using the quadrature technique. Further, if f ∈ C~2([0, β) ∪(β, ∞), R),f′′(u) ≥ 0 for u ∈ [0, β) and f′′(u) ≤ 0 for u ∈(β, ∞), then there exist exactly 2 n + 1 positive solutions for some interval of λ, which is dependent on n and θ. Moreover, We also give some examples to apply our results.
