Well‐posedness and asymptotic analysis for a Penrose–Fife type phase field system

In this paper, an asymptotic analysis of the (non‐conserved) Penrose–Fife phase field system for two vanishing time relaxation parameters ε and δ is developed, in analogy with the similar analyses for the phase field model proposed by G. Caginalp (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 1986; 92 :205–245), which were carried out by Rossi and Stoth (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 2003; 13 :249–271; Quart. Appl. Math. 1995; 53 :695–700). Although formally the singular limits for ε ↓ 0 and for ε and δ ↓ 0 are, respectively, the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation and the Cahn–Hilliard equation, it turns out that the Penrose–Fife system is indeed a bad approximation for these equations. Therefore, we consider an alternative approximating phase field system, which could be viewed as a generalization of the classical Penrose–Fife phase field system, featuring a double non‐linearity given by two maximal monotone graphs. A well‐posedness result is proved for such a system, and it is shown that the solutions converge to the unique solution of the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation as ε ↓ 0, and of the Cahn–Hilliard equation as ε ↓ 0 and δ ↓ 0.

Asymptotic stability of stationary solutions to the compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations

In this paper, we consider the compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations with a non‐flat doping profile in three‐dimensional space. The existence and uniqueness of the non‐constant stationary solutions are established when the doping profile is a small perturbation of a positive constant state. Then under the smallness assumption of the initial perturbation, we show the global existence of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem near the stationary state. Finally, the convergence rates are obtained by combining the energy estimates for the nonlinear system and the L²‐decay estimates for the linearized equations.

On the existence of solutions to the Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations of a two‐dimensional compressible flow

In this paper, we consider the Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations for compressible, barotropic flow in two space dimensions. We introduce useful tools from the theory of Orlicz spaces. Then we prove the existence of globally defined finite energy weak solutions for the pressure satisfying p(?)=a?log^d (?) for large ?. Here d>1 and a>0. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global weak solutions for a periodic two‐component μ‐Camassa–Holm system

In this paper, we consider the global existence of weak solutions for a two‐component μ‐Camassa–Holm system in the periodic setting. Global existence for strong solutions to the system with smooth approximate initial value is derived. Then, we show that the limit of approximate solutions is a global‐in‐time weak solution of the two‐component μ‐Camassa–Holm system. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Traveling wave solutions of n‐dimensional delayed reaction–diffusion systems and application to four‐dimensional predator–prey systems

This paper deals with the existence of traveling wave solutions for n‐dimensional delayed reaction–diffusion systems. By using Schauder's fixed point theorem, we establish the existence result of a traveling wave solution connecting two steady states by constructing a pair of upper–lower solutions that are easy to construct. As an application, we apply our main results to a four‐dimensional delayed predator–prey system and obtain the existence of traveling wave solutions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability analysis of higher order nonlinear differential equations in β–normed spaces

In this paper, we interrogate different Ulam type stabilities, ie, β–Ulam–Hyers stability, generalized β–Ulam–Hyers stability, β–Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability, and generalized β–Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability, for nth order nonlinear differential equations with integrable impulses of fractional type. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are investigated by using the Banach contraction principle. In the end, we give an example to support our main result.     

Numerical solution of the Rosenau–KdV–RLW equation by operator splitting techniques based on B‐spline collocation method

In the present study, the operator splitting techniques based on the quintic B‐spline collocation finite element method are presented for calculating the numerical solutions of the Rosenau–KdV–RLW equation. Two test problems having exact solutions have been considered. To demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the present methods, the error norms L₂ and L_∞ with the discrete mass Q and energy E conservative properties have been calculated. The results obtained by the method have been compared with the exact solution of each problem and other numerical results in the literature, and also found to be in good agreement with each other. A Fourier stability analysis of each presented method is also investigated.     

Discrete Jacobi sub‐equation method for nonlinear differential–difference equations

We will propose a unified algebraic method to construct Jacobi elliptic function solutions to differential–difference equations (DDEs). The solutions to DDEs in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions sn, cn and dn have a unified form and can be presented through solving the associated algebraic equations. To illustrate the effectiveness of this method, we apply the algorithm to some physically significant DDEs, including the discrete hybrid equation, semi‐discrete coupled modified Korteweg–de Vries and the discrete Klein–Gordon equation, thereby generating some new exact travelling periodic solutions to the discrete Klein–Gordon equation. A procedure is also given to determine the polynomial expansion order of Jacobi elliptic function solutions to DDEs. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability of the Crank–Nicolson–Adams–Bashforth scheme for the 2D Leray‐alpha model

We consider the stability of an efficient Crank–Nicolson–Adams–Bashforth method in time, finite element in space, discretization of the Leray‐α model. We prove finite‐time stability of the scheme in L², H¹, and H², as well as the long‐time L‐stability of the scheme under a Courant‐Freidrichs‐Lewy (CFL)‐type condition. Numerical experiments are given that are in agreement with the theoretical results. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 1155–1183, 2016     

On the global existence and time decay estimates in critical spaces for the Navier–Stokes–Poisson system

We are concerned with the study of the Cauchy problem for the Navier–Stokes–Poisson system in the critical regularity framework. In the case of a repulsive potential, we first establish the unique global solvability in any dimension for small perturbations of a linearly stable constant state. Next, under a suitable additional condition involving only the low frequencies of the data and in the L²‐critical framework (for simplicity), we exhibit optimal decay estimates for the constructed global solutions, which are similar to those of the barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes system. Our results rely on new a priori estimates for the linearized Navier–Stokes–Poisson system about a stable constant equilibrium, and on a refined time‐weighted energy functional.     

Ergodicity of 2D stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equations driven by degenerate noise

The current paper is devoted to stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equation with degenerate random forcing. The existence and pathwise uniqueness of strong solutions with H¹‐initial data is established, and then the existence of an invariant measure for the Feller semigroup is shown by Krylov–Bogoliubov theorem. Because of the coupled items in the stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equations, the higher order momentum estimates can be only obtained in the L²‐norm. We show the ergodicity of invariant measure for the transition semigroup by asymptotically strong Feller property and the support property. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global existence and time decay estimate of solutions to the Keller–Segel system

We consider the chemotaxis‐Navier–Stokes system 1.1-1.4 (Keller–Segel system) in the whole space, which describes the motion of oxygen‐driven bacteria, eukaryotes, in a fluid. We proved the global existence and time decay estimate of solutions to the Cauchy problem 1.1-1.2 in with the small initial data. Moreover, when the fluid motion is described by the Stokes equations, we established the global weak solutions to 1.3-1.4 in with the potential function ? is small and the initial density n₀(x) has finite mass.     

New exact solutions for the classical Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson equation

In this paper, we investigate the classical Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson equation (DSWE)

where p, q, r, s are some nonzero parameters. Some explicit expressions of solutions for the equation are obtained by using the bifurcation method and qualitative theory of dynamical systems. These solutions contain solitary wave solutions, blow-up solutions, periodic solutions, periodic blow-up solutions and kink-shaped solutions. Some previous results are extended.     

Darboux transformation and Rogue waves of the Kundu–nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, the Darboux transformation of the Kundu–nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived and generalized to the matrix of n‐fold Darboux transformation. From known solution Q, the determinant representation of n‐th new solutions of Q^[n] are obtained by the n‐fold Darboux transformation. Then soliton solutions and positon solutions are generated from trivial seed solutions, breather solutions and rogue wave solutions that are obtained from periodic seed solutions. After that, the higher order rogue wave solutions of the Kundu–nonlinear Schrödinger equation are given. We show that free parameters in eigenfunctions can adjust the patterns of the higher order rogue waves. Meanwhile, the third‐order rogue waves are given explicitly.

Solution of the Ulam stability problem for Euler–Lagrange–Jensen k‐quintic mappings

In this paper, we are introducing pertinent Euler–Lagrange–Jensen type k‐quintic functional equations and investigate the ‘Ulam stability’ of these new k‐quintic functional mappings f:X→Y, where X is a real normed linear space and Y a real complete normed linear space. We also solve the Ulam stability problem for Euler–Lagrange–Jensen alternative k‐quintic mappings. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Local existence for the one‐dimensional Vlasov–Poisson system with infinite mass

A collisionless plasma is modelled by the Vlasov–Poisson system in one dimension. We consider the situation in which mobile negative ions balance a fixed background of positive charge, which is independent of space and time, as ∣x∣ → ∞. Thus, the total positive charge and the total negative charge are both infinite. Smooth solutions with appropriate asymptotic behaviour are shown to exist locally in time, and criteria for the continuation of these solutions are established.

Singular integral operator,Hardy–Morrey space estimates for multilinear operators and Navier–Stokes equations

After establishing the molecule characterization of the Hardy–Morrey space, we prove the boundedness of the singular integral operator and the Riesz potential. We also obtain the Hardy–Morrey space estimates for multilinear operators satisfying certain vanishing moments. As an application, we study the existence and the uniqueness of the solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations for the initial data in the Hardy–Morrey space ????(p?n) for q as small as possible. Here, the Hardy–Morrey space estimates for multilinear operators are important tools. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the three‐dimensional Brinkman–Forchheimer equation. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the equation in L², and then show that the equation has a global attractor in H² when the external forcing term belongs to L².

Numerical and theoretical discussions for solving nonlinear generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers equation based on the Legendre spectral element method

This article is devoted to solving numerically the nonlinear generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers (GBBMB) equation that has several applications in physics and applied sciences. First, the time derivative is approximated by using a finite difference formula. Afterward, the stability and convergence analyses of the obtained time semi‐discrete are proven by applying the energy method. Also, it has been demonstrated that the convergence order in the temporal direction is O(dt) . Second, a fully discrete formula is acquired by approximating the spatial derivatives via Legendre spectral element method. This method uses Lagrange polynomial based on Gauss–Legendre–Lobatto points. An error estimation is also given in detail for full discretization scheme. Ultimately, the GBBMB equation in the one‐ and two‐dimension is solved by using the proposed method. Also, the calculated solutions are compared with theoretical solutions and results obtained from other techniques in the literature. The accuracy and efficiency of the mentioned procedure are revealed by numerical samples.     

A Navier–Stokes–Voight model with memory

In this article, we consider a three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight model with memory where relaxation effects are described through a distributed delay. We prove the existence of uniform global attractors , where ? ∈ (0,1) is the scaling parameter in the memory kernel. Furthermore, we prove that the model converges to the classical three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight system in an appropriate sense as ? → 0. In particular, we construct a family of exponential attractors Ξ_? that is robust as ? → 0. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
