Boundedness of solutions to a quasilinear parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel system with logistic source

We study a quasilinear parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel system involving a source term of logistic type u_t = ? ? (?(u) ? u) ? χ ? ? (u ? v) + g(u), ? Δv = ? v + u in Ω × (0,T), subject to nonnegative initial data and the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition in a bounded domain with smooth boundary, n ≥ 1, χ > 0, ? ≥ c₁s^p for s ≥ s₀ > 1, and g(s) ≤ as ? μs² for s > 0 with a,g(0) ≥ 0, μ > 0. There are three nonlinear mechanisms included in the chemotaxis model: the nonlinear diffusion, aggregation and logistic absorption. The interaction among the triple nonlinearities shows that together with the nonlinear diffusion, the logistic absorption will dominate the aggregation such that the unique classical solution of the system has to be global in time and bounded, regardless of the initial data, whenever , or, equivalently, , which enlarge the parameter range , or , required by globally bounded solutions of the quasilinear K‐S system without the logistic source.

On a nonlinear wave equation with boundary damping

This paper is concerned with the existence and decay of solutions of the mixed problem for the nonlinear wave equation with boundary conditions Here, Ω is an open bounded set of with boundary Γ of class C²; Γ is constituted of two disjoint closed parts Γ₀ and Γ₁ both with positive measure; the functions μ(t), f(s), g(s) satisfy the conditions μ(t) ≥ μ₀ > 0, f(s) ≥ 0, g(s) ≥ 0 for t ≥ 0, s ≥ 0 and h(x,s) is a real function where x ∈ Γ₁, ν(x) is the unit outward normal vector at x ∈ Γ₁ and α, β are non‐negative real constants. Assuming that h(x,s) is strongly monotone in s for each x ∈ Γ₁, it is proved the global existence of solutions for the previous mixed problem. For that, it is used in the Galerkin method with a special basis, the compactness approach, the Strauss approximation for real functions and the trace theorem for nonsmooth functions. The exponential decay of the energy is derived by two methods: by using a Lyapunov functional and by Nakao's method. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The spectral analysis and exponential stability of a bi‐directional coupled wave‐ODE system

In this paper, an unstable linear time invariant (LTI) ODE system is stabilized exponentially by the PDE compensato—a wave equation with Kelvin‐Voigt (K‐V) damping. Direct feedback connections between the ODE system and wave equation are established: The velocity of the wave equation enters the ODE through the variable v_t(1,t); meanwhile, the output of the ODE is fluxed into the wave equation. It is found that the spectrum of the system operator is composed of two parts: point spectrum and continuous spectrum. The continuous spectrum consists of an isolated point , and there are two branches of asymptotic eigenvalues: the first branch approaches to , and the other branch tends to ?∞. It is shown that there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which forms a Riesz basis for the Hilbert state space. As a consequence, the spectrum‐determined growth condition and exponential stability of the system are concluded.     

Boundedness in a four‐dimensional attraction‐repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source

In this paper, we study the attraction‐repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source: u_t = Δu−χ∇·(u∇v)+ξ∇·(u∇w)+f(u), 0 = Δv−βv+αu, 0 = Δw−δw+γu, subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain , where χ,α,ξ,γ,β, and δ are positive constants, and is a smooth function satisfying f(s) ≤ a−bs^3/2 for all s ≥ 0 with a ≥ 0 and b > 0. It is proved that when the repulsion cancels the attraction (ie, ξγ=χα), for any nonnegative initial data , the solution is globally bounded. This result corresponds to the one in the classical 2‐dimensional Keller‐Segel model with logistic source bearing quadric growth restrictions.     

The Gerdjikov‐Ivanov–type derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation: Long‐time dynamics of nonzero boundary conditions

We consider the Gerdjikov‐Ivanov–type derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the line. The initial value q(x,0) is given and satisfies the symmetric, nonzero boundary conditions at infinity, that is, q(x,0)→q_± as x→±∞, and |q_±|=q₀>0. The goal of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of this initial value problem as t→∞. The main tool is the asymptotic analysis of an associated matrix Riemann‐Hilbert problem by using the steepest descent method and the so‐called g‐function mechanism. We show that the solution q(x,t) of this initial value problem has a different asymptotic behavior in different regions of the xt‐plane. In the regions and , the solution takes the form of a plane wave. In the region , the solution takes the form of a modulated elliptic wave.     

The existence of ‐bounded solution operators of the thermoelastic plate equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions

We consider the linearized thermoelastic plate equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition in a general domain Ω, given by with the initial condition u|_(t=0)=u₀, u_t|_(t=0)=u₁, and θ|_(t=0)=θ₀ in Ω and the boundary condition u=∂_νu=θ=0 on Γ, where u=u(x,t) denotes a vertical displacement at time t at the point x=(x₁,⋯,x_n)∈Ω, while θ=θ(x,t) describes the temperature. This work extends the result obtained by Naito and Shibata that studied the problem in the half‐space case. We prove the existence of ‐bounded solution operators of the corresponding resolvent problem. Then, the generation of C₀ analytic semigroup and the maximal L_p‐L_q‐regularity of time‐dependent problem are derived.     

Ground state solutions for asymptotically periodic fractional Schrödinger–Poisson problems with asymptotically cubic or super‐cubic nonlinearities

In this paper, we consider the following fractional Schrödinger–Poisson problem: where s,t∈(0,1],4s+2t>3,V(x),K(x), and f(x,u) are periodic or asymptotically periodic in x. We use the non‐Nehari manifold approach to establish the existence of the Nehari‐type ground state solutions in two cases: the periodic one and the asymptotically periodic case, by introducing weaker conditions uniformly in with and with constant θ₀∈(0,1), instead of uniformly in and the usual Nehari‐type monotonic condition on f(x,τ)/|τ|³. Our results unify both asymptotically cubic or super‐cubic nonlinearities, which are new even for s=t=1. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Boundedness in a parabolic‐elliptic chemotaxis system with nonlinear diffusion and sensitivity and logistic source

In this paper, we study the zero‐flux chemotaxis‐system where Ω is a bounded and smooth domain of , n≥1, and where , k,μ>0 and α≤1. For any v≥0, the chemotactic sensitivity function is assumed to behave as the prototype χ(v)=χ₀/(1+av)², with a≥0 and χ₀>0. We prove that for any nonnegative and sufficiently regular initial data u(x,0), the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem admits a unique global bounded classical solution if α<1; indeed, for α=1, the same conclusion is obtained provided μ is large enough. Finally, we illustrate the range of dynamics present within the chemotaxis system in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions by means of numerical simulations.     

Linear stability for a free boundary tumor model with a periodic supply of external nutrients

In this paper, we consider a free boundary tumor model with a periodic supply of external nutrients, so that the nutrient concentration σ satisfies σ = ?(t) on the boundary, where ?(t) is a positive periodic function with period T. A parameter μ in the model is proportional to the “aggressiveness” of the tumor. If , where is a threshold concentration for proliferation, Bai and Xu [Pac J Appl Math. 2013;5;217‐223] proved that there exists a unique radially symmetric T‐periodic positive solution (σ_?(r,t),p_?(r,t),R_?(t)), which is stable for any μ > 0 with respect to all radially symmetric perturbations. 17 We prove that under nonradially symmetric perturbations, there exists a number μ_? such that if 0 < μ < μ_?, then the T‐periodic solution is linearly stable, whereas if μ > μ_?, then the T‐periodic solution is linearly unstable.     

Existence of solution to Korteweg‐de Vries equation in domains that can be transformed into rectangles

We study the Korteweg‐de Vries equation subject to boundary condition in nonrectangular domain where , with some assumptions on functions (φ_i(t))_1≤i≤2 and the coefficients of equation. The right‐hand side and its derivative with respect to t are in the Lebesgue space L²(Ω). Our goal is to establish the existence, the uniqueness, and the regularity of the solution.     

Solution of perturbed Schrödinger system with critical nonlinearity and electromagnetic fields

In this paper, we consider the following perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger system with electromagnetic fields where N ≥ 3, 2 ^蜧 = 2N ∕ (N ? 2) is the Sobolev critical exponent; A is the real vector magnetic potential; and V (x), K(x), and H(s,t) are continuous functions. Under certain conditions on V, H, and K, we establish some new results on the existence of the least‐energy solutions (u_?,v_?) for small ? by using variational method.

Exponential stability of a mildly dissipative viscoelastic plate equation with variable density

This paper is concerned with a viscoelastic Kirchhoff plate featuring variable material density. It is modeled by the equation defined in a bounded domain of , where ? = |u_t|^ρ accounts for a velocity‐dependent material density. It is known that its analogue second‐order wave equation can be exponentially stabilized with the sole dissipation given by the memory term. However, for the plate equation, exponential stability was only shown with an additional strong damping ?Δu_t. Our objective is to show the exponential stability of the present system by exploring only the memory term.     

Asymptotic behavior to a chemotaxis consumption system with singular sensitivity

We consider a chemotaxis consumption system with singular sensitivity , v_t=εΔv−uv in a bounded domain with χ,α,ε>0. The global existence of classical solutions is obtained with n=1. Moreover, for any global classical solution (u,v) to the case of n,α≥1, it is shown that v converges to 0 in the L^∞‐norm as t→∞ with the decay rate established whenever ε∈(ε₀,1) with .     

Solution operators of three time variables for fractional linear problems

It is well known that the time fractional equation where is the fractional time derivative in the sense of Caputo of u does not generate a dynamical system in the standard sense. In this paper, we study the algebraic properties of the solution operator T(t,s,τ) for that equation with u(s) = v. We apply this theory to linear time fractional PDEs with constant coefficients. These equations are solved by the Fourier multiplier techniques. It appears that their solution exhibits some singularity, which leads us to introduce a new kind of solution for abstract time fractional problems. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Here, S₁ and S₂ are given parameter functions on [0,∞)²×Ω with values in . It is shown that for any choice of suitably regular initial data (u₀,v₀,w₀) fulfilling a smallness condition on the norm of v₀,w₀ in L^∞(Ω), the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem possesses a global bounded classical solution.

By virtue of Jensen's discrete inequalities, we use fixed point index theory to establish our main results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of positive solutions for singular impulsive differential equations with integral boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for singular impulsive differential equations with integral boundary conditions where the nonlinearity f(t,u,v) may be singular at u = 0 and v = 0. The proof is based on the theory of Leray–Schauder degree, together with a truncation technique. Some recent results in the literature are generalized and improved.

Global bounded weak solutions to a degenerate quasilinear chemotaxis system with rotation

This paper deals with the quasilinear Keller–Segel system with rotation where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, D(u) is supposed to be sufficiently smooth and satisfies D(u)≥D₀u^{m ? 1}(m≥1) and D(u)≤D₁(u + 1)^{K ? m}u^{m ? 1}(K≥1) for all u≥0 with some positive constants D₀ and D₁, and f(u) is assumed to be smooth enough and non‐negative for all u≥0 and f(0) = 0, while S(u,v,x) = (s_ij)_{n × n} is a matrix with and with l≥2, where is nondecreasing on [0,∞). It is proved that when , the system possesses at least one global and bounded weak solution for any sufficiently smooth non‐negative initial data. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Feynman integral in Lifshitz‐point and Lorentz‐violating theories in

We evaluate a 1‐loop, 2‐point, massless Feynman integral I_D,m(p,q) relevant for perturbative field theoretic calculations in strongly anisotropic d=D+m dimensional spaces given by the direct sum . Our results are valid in the whole convergence region of the integral for generic (noninteger) codimensions D and m. We obtain series expansions of I_D,m(p,q) in terms of powers of the variable X:=4p²/q⁴, where p=| p |, q=| q |, , , and in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions ₃F₂(−X), when X<1. These are subsequently analytically continued to the complementary region X≥1. The asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of X^1/2 is derived. The correctness of the results is supported by agreement with previously known special cases and extensive numerical calculations.
