Regularity Results for a Nonlinear Elliptic-Parabolic System with Oscillating Coefficients

In this paper we study the initial boundary value problem for the system $\mbox{div}(\sigma(u)\nabla\varphi)=0,$ $ u_t-\Delta u=\sigma(u)|\nabla\varphi|^2$. This problem is known as the thermistor problem which models the electrical heating of conductors. Our assumptions on $\sigma(u)$ leave open the possibility that $\liminf_{u\rightarrow\infty}\sigma(u)=0$, while $\limsup_{u\rightarrow\infty}\sigma(u)$ is large. This means that $\sigma(u)$ can oscillate wildly between $0$ and a large positive number as $u\rightarrow \infty$. Thus our degeneracy is fundamentally different from the one that is present in porous medium type of equations. We obtain a weak solution $(u, \varphi)$ with $|\nabla \varphi|, |\nabla u|\in L^\infty$ by first establishing a uniform upper bound for $e^{\varepsilon u}$ for some small $\varepsilon$. This leads to an inequality in $\nabla\varphi$, from which the regularity result follows. This approach enables us to avoid first proving the Hölder continuity of $\varphi$ in the space variables, which would have required that the elliptic coefficient $\sigma(u)$ be an $A_2$ weight. As it is known, the latter implies that $\ln\sigma(u)$ is "nearly bounded''.     

Global well-posedness for 3D generalized Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the 3D generalized Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations with fractional diffusion:

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{u_t} + \left( {u \cdot \nabla } \right)u + v{\Lambda ^{2a}}u = -\nabla p + \theta {e_3},\;{e_3} = {{\left( {0,0,1} \right)}^T},} \\ {{\theta _t} + \left( {u \cdot \nabla } \right)t = 0,} \\ {Divu = 0.} \end{array}} \right.$$

With the help of the smoothing effect of the fractional diffusion operator and a logarithmic estimate, we prove the global well-posedness for this system with α ≥ 5/4. Moreover, the uniqueness and continuity of the solution with weaker initial data is based on Fourier localization technique. Our results extend ones on the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with fractional diffusion.

     

Blow-up,quenching, aggregation and collapse in a chemotaxis model with reproduction term

In this paper,we consider the following chemotaxis model with ratio-dependent logistic reaction term u/t=D▽(▽u-u▽ω/ω)+u(α-bu/ω),(x,t)∈QT,ω/t=βu-δω,(x,t)∈QT,u▽㏑(u/w)·=0,x ∈Ω,0tT,u(x,0)=u0(x)0,x ∈,w(x,0)=w0(x)0,x ∈,It is shown that the solution to the problem exists globally if b+β≥0 and will blow up or quench if b+β0 by means of function transformation and comparison method.Various asymptotic behavior related to different coefficients and initial data is also discussed.     

Entropy solutions to nonlinear elliptic anisotropic problem with variable exponent

In this work, we give an existence result of entropy solutions for nonlinear anisotropic elliptic equation of the type $$- \mbox{div} \big( a(x,u,\nabla u)\big)+ g(x,u,\nabla u) + |u|^{p_{0}(x)-2}u = f-\mbox{div} \phi(u),\quad \mbox{ in } \Omega,$$ where $-\mbox{div}\big(a(x,u,\nabla u)\big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator, $\phi \in C^{0}(I\!\!R,I\!\!R^{N})$. The function $g(x,u,\nabla u)$ is a nonlinear lower order term with natural growth with respect to $|\nabla u|$, satisfying the sign condition and the datum $f$ belongs to $L^1(\Omega)$.     

Nonlinear superharmonic functions and supersolutions

Due to the lack of representation formulas for superharmonic functions associated with p-harmonic equations ${-\nabla \cdot(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) = \mu}$ and their generalizations ${-\nabla \cdot A(x,\nabla u) = \mu}$ ,where ${A(x,\nabla u) \cdot \nabla u \approx | \nabla u |^{p}}$ , the interplay between nonlinear superharmonic functions and supersolutions is more important than in the linear case. Using the recent result of Kilpeläinen et. al., we establish sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of the Riesz measure μ that a p-superharmonic function is an ordinary weak supersolution. As an example we consider p-superharmonic solutions of the Poisson-type equation ${-\nabla \cdot A(x,\nabla u) = f(x)}$ .

Existence of solutions for a degenerate auasilinear elliptic system in bounded domain

Using variational methods, we study the existence of weak solutions forthe degenerate quasilinear elliptic system$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}- \mathrm{div}\Big(h_1(x)|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\Big) = F_{u}(x,u,v) &\text{ in } \Omega,\\-\mathrm{div}\Big(h_2(x)|\nabla v|^{q-2}\nabla v\Big) = F_{v}(x,u,v) &\text{ in } \Omega,\\u=v=0 & \textrm{ on } \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$where $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$ is a smooth bounded domain, $\nabla F= (F_u,F_v)$ stands for the gradient of $C^1$-function $F:\Omega\times\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$, the weights $h_i$, $i=1,2$ are allowed to vanish somewhere,the primitive $F(x,u,v)$ is intimately related to the first eigenvalue of acorresponding quasilinear system.     

Chemotaxis-fluild 系统的全局弱解

We investigate the existence of the global weak solution to the coupled Chemotaxisfluid system ■in a bounded smooth domain ??R~2. Here, r≥0 and μ 0 are given constants,?Φ∈L~∞(?) and g∈L~2((0, T); L_σ~2(?)) are prescribed functions. We obtain the local existence of the weak solution of the system by using the Schauder fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we study the regularity estimate of this system. Utilizing the regularity estimates, we obtain that the coupled Chemotaxis-fluid system with the initial-boundary value problem possesses a global weak solution.     

Existence of solutions of the Neumann problem for a class of equations involving the p-Laplacian via a variational principle of Ricceri

In this paper we deal with the existence of weak solutions for the following Neumann problem¶¶$ \left\{{ll} -\mathrm{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) + \lambda(x)|u|^{p-2}u = \alpha(x)f(u) + \beta(x)g(u) $ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\mathrm{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) + \lambda(x)|u|^{p-2}u = \alpha(x)f(u) + \beta(x)g(u) &; $ \mbox{in $ \mbox{in \Omega$}\\ {\partial u \over \partial \nu} = 0 $}\\ {\partial u \over \partial \nu} = 0 &; $ \mbox{on $ \mbox{on \partial \Omega$} \right. $}\end{array} \right. ¶¶ where $ \nu $ \nu is the outward unit normal to the boundary $ \partial\Omega $ \partial\Omega of the bounded open set _boxclose^N \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N . The existence of solutions, for the above problem, is proved by applying a critical point theorem recently obtained by B. Ricceri as a consequence of a more general variational principle.     

Capacity solution for a perturbed nonlinear coupled system

We shall give the existence of a capacity solution to a nonlinear elliptic coupled system, whose unknowns are the temperature inside a semiconductor material, u, and the electric potential, $$\varphi $$, the model problem we refer to is $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta _p u+g(x,u)= \rho (u)|\nabla \varphi |^2 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ {{\,\mathrm{div}\,}}(\rho (u)\nabla \varphi ) =0 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ \varphi =\varphi _0 \quad \text{ on } \quad {\partial \Omega },\\ u=0 \quad \mathrm{on} \quad {\partial \Omega }, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$where $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$$, $$N\ge 2$$ and $$\Delta _p u=-{\text {div}}\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u\right) $$ is the so-called p-Laplacian operator, and g a nonlinearity which satisfies the sign condition but without any restriction on its growth. This problem may be regarded as a generalization of the so-called thermistor problem, where we consider the case of the elliptic equation is non-uniformly elliptic.

The Liouville-type theorem for problems with nonstandard growth derived by Caccioppoli-type estimate

Let u be a nonnegative solution to the PDI $$-\,\mathrm{div} \mathcal {A}(x, u, \nabla u)\geqslant \mathcal {B}(x,u, \nabla u)$$ in $$\Omega $$, where $$\mathcal {A}$$ and $$\mathcal {B}$$ are differential operators with p(x)-type growth. As a consequence of the Caccioppoli-type inequality for the solution u, we obtain the Liouville-type theorem under some integral condition. We simplify the assumptions on functions $$ \mathcal {A}$$ and $$ \mathcal {B}$$, and we do not restrict the range of p(x) by the dimension n, therefore we can cover quite general family of problems.

New Kamenev-type oscillation criteria for half-linear partial differential equations

We establish new Kamenev-type oscillation criteria for the half-linear partial differential equation with damping under quite general conditions. These results are extensions of the recent results developed by Sun [Y.G. Sun, New Kamenev-type oscillation criteria of second order nonlinear differential equations with damping, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 291 (2004) 341-351] for second order ordinary differential equations in a natural way, and improve some existing results in the literature. As applications, we illustrate our main results using two different types of half-linear partial differential equations.

In this paper we consider the bifurcation problem -div A（x, u）=λa（x）｜u｜^p-2u＋f（x,u,λ） in Ω with p 〉 1.Under some proper assumptions on A（x,ξ）,a（x） and f（x,u,λ）,we show that the existence of an unbounded branch of positive solutions bifurcating Irom the principal eigenvalue of the problem --div A（x, u）=λa（x）｜u｜^p-2u.     

Existence and general decay for nondissipative distributed systems with boundary frictional and memory dampings and acoustic boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the existence and general energy decay rate of global solutions for nondissipative distributed systems

$$u''-\triangle u+h(\nabla u)=0$$

with boundary frictional and memory dampings and acoustic boundary conditions. For the existence of solutions, we prove the global existence of weak solution by using Faedo–Galerkin’s method and compactness arguments. For the energy decay rate, we first consider the general nonlinear case of h satisfying a smallness condition and prove the general energy decay rate by using perturbed modified energy method. Then, we consider the linear case of h: \({h(\nabla u)=-\nabla\phi\cdot\nabla u}\) and prove the general decay estimates of equivalent energy.

     

On the Generalized Stochastic Dirichlet Problem—Part I: The Stochastic Weak Maximum Principle

We treat the stochastic Dirichlet problem \(L\lozenge u = h+\nabla f\) in the framework of white noise analysis combined with Sobolev space methods. The input data and the boundary condition are generalized stochastic processes regarded as linear continuous mappings from the Sobolev space \(W_0^{1,2}\) into the Kondratiev space (S)_???1. The operator L is assumed to be strictly elliptic in divergence form \(L\lozenge u=\nabla(A\lozenge\nabla u+b\lozenge u)+c\lozenge\nabla u+d\lozenge u\). Its coefficients: the elements of the matrix A and of the vectors b, c and d are assumed to be generalized random processes, and the product of two generalized processes, denoted by \(\lozenge\), is interpreted as the Wick product. In this paper we prove the weak maximum principle for the operator L, which will imply the uniqueness of the solution to \(L\lozenge u = h+\nabla f\).     

Classification of certain qualitative properties of solutions for the quasilinear parabolic equations

In this paper, we mainly consider the initial boundary problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation u_t-div(|?u|~(p-2)?u) =-|u|~(β-1) u + α|u|~(q-2 )u,where p 1, β 0, q≥1 and α 0. By using Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequality, the energy method and comparison principle, the phenomena of blowup and extinction are classified completely in the different ranges of reaction exponents.
