Global weak solutions and eventual smoothness in a 3D two-competing-species chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system with two consumed signals

This paper deals with a two-competition-species chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system with two different consumed signals $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{(n_1)}_t+\mathbf{u}·\nabla n_1=d_1\mathrm{\Delta }{n}_1-{\chi }_1\nabla ·(n_1\nabla c)+{\mu }_1{n}_1(1-n_1-a_1{n}_2),& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\\ c_t+\mathbf{u}·\nabla c=d_2\mathrm{\Delta }c-{\alpha }_{1}c{n}_2,& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\\ {(n_2)}_t+\mathbf{u}·\nabla n_2=d_3\mathrm{\Delta }{n}_2-{\chi }_2\nabla ·(n_2\nabla v)+{\mu }_2{n}_2(1-a_2{n}_1-n_2),& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\\ v_t+\mathbf{u}·\nabla v=d_4\mathrm{\Delta }v-{\alpha }_{2}v{n}_1,& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\\ {\mathbf{u}}_t+(\mathbf{u}·\nabla )\mathbf{u}=\mathrm{\Delta }\mathbf{u}+\nabla P+({\beta }_1{n}_1+{\beta }_2{n}_2)\nabla \varphi ,& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\\ \nabla ·\mathbf{u}=0,& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\end{array}\right.$$ in a smooth bounded domain $\mathrm{\Omega }\subset {\mathbb{R}}^3$ under zero Neumann boundary conditions for $n_1,n_2,c,v$, and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition for $\mathbf{\text{u}}$, where the parameters $d_i$ ( $i=1,2,3,4$) and ${\chi }_j,{\mu }_j,a_j,{\alpha }_j,{\beta }_j$ ( $j=1,2$) are positive. This system describes the evolution of two-competing species which react on two different chemical signals in a liquid surrounding environment. Recently, the boundedness and stabilization of classical solutions to the above system under two-dimensional case have been derived in the previous works. However, to the best of our knowledge, the well-posedness problem of solutions for the above system is still open in the three dimensional setting, because of the difficulties in the Navier-Stokes system. The aim of this paper is to construct global weak solutions and show that after some waiting time, these weak solutions become eventually smooth.     

Blow‐up for wave equation with the scale‐invariant damping and combined nonlinearities

In this article, we study the blow‐up of the damped wave equation in the scale‐invariant case and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}?\mathrm{\Delta }u+\frac{\mu }{1+t}{u}_t=|u_t{|}^p+|u{|}^q,\text{in}{?}^N\times [0,\infty ),$$ with small initial data. For $\mu <\frac{N(q?1)}{2}$ and μ ∈ (0, μ_?) , where μ_? > 0 is depending on the nonlinearties' powers and the space dimension (μ_? satisfies $(q?1)\left((N+2{\mu }_{?}?1)p?2\right)=4$), we prove that the wave equation, in this case, behaves like the one without dissipation (μ = 0 ). Our result completes the previous studies in the case where the dissipation is given by $\frac{\mu }{{(1+t)}^{\beta }}{u}_t;\beta >1$, where, contrary to what we obtain in the present work, the effect of the damping is not significant in the dynamics. Interestingly, in our case, the influence of the damping term $\frac{\mu }{1+t}{u}_t$ is important.     

Maximal ℓp‐regularity of multiterm fractional equations with delay

We provide a characterization for the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the space of vector‐valued sequences ${?}_p(?,X)$ for the multiterm fractional delayed model in the form $${\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\alpha }u(n)+\lambda {\mathrm{\Delta }}^{\beta }u(n)=Au(n)+u(n?\tau )+f(n),n\in ?,\alpha ,\beta \in {?}_{+},\tau \in ?,\lambda \in ?,$$ where X is a Banach space, A is a closed linear operator with domain D(A) defined on X, $f\in {?}_p(?,X)$ and Δ^Γ denotes the Grünwald–Letkinov fractional derivative of order Γ > 0. We also give some conditions to ensure the existence of solutions when adding nonlinearities. Finally, we illustrate our results with an example given by a general abstract nonlinear model that includes the fractional Fisher equation with delay.     

Single-peak solutions for a subcritical Schrödinger equation with non-power nonlinearity

This paper deals with the following slightly subcritical Schrödinger equation: $$-\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u=f_{\epsilon }(u),u>0\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,$$ where $V(x)$ is a nonnegative smooth function, $f_{\epsilon }(u)=\frac{u^p}{{[\ln (e+u)]}^{\epsilon }}$, $p=\frac{N+2}{N-2}$, $\epsilon >0$, $N\ge 7$. Most of the previous works for the Schrödinger equations were mainly investigated for power-type nonlinearity. In this paper, we will study the case when the nonlinearity $f_{\epsilon }(u)$ is a non-power nonlinearity. We show that, for ε small enough, there exists a family of single-peak solutions concentrating at the positive stable critical point of the potential $V(x)$.     

Positive ground state solutions for Schrödinger–Poisson system with critical nonlocal term in ℝ3

This paper is dedicated to studying the following Schrödinger–Poisson system $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u-K(x)\varphi |u{|}^{3}u=a(x)f(u),& x\in {ℝ}^3,\\ -\mathrm{\Delta }\varphi =K(x)|u{|}^5,& x\in {ℝ}^3.\end{array}\right.$$ Under some different assumptions on functions V(x), K(x), a(x) and f(u), by using the variational approach, we establish the existence of positive ground state solutions.     

Ground state solutions for a modified fractional Schrödinger equation with critical exponent

In this paper, we study the existence of ground state solutions for the modified fractional Schrödinger equations $${(-\mathrm{\Delta })}^{\alpha }u+\mu u+\kappa [{(-\mathrm{\Delta })}^{\alpha }{u}^2]u=\sigma |u{|}^{p-1}u+|u{|}^{q-2}u,x\in R^N,$$ where $N\ge 2$, $\alpha \in (0,1)$, $\mu$, $\sigma$ and $\kappa$ are positive parameters, $2<p+1<q\le 2_{\alpha }^{\ast }:=\frac{2N}{N-2\alpha }$, ${(-\mathrm{\Delta })}^{\alpha }$ denotes the fractional Laplacian of order $\alpha$. For the case $2<p+1<q<2_{\alpha }^{\ast }$ and the case $q=2_{\alpha }^{\ast }$, the existence results of ground state solutions are given, respectively.     

Multibump solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson systems

In this paper, we study the following Schrödinger-Poisson equations: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\epsilon }^2\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u+K(x)\varphi u=|u{|}^{p-2}u,& x\in {\mathbb{R}}^3,\\ -{\epsilon }^2\mathrm{\Delta }\varphi =K(x)u^2,& x\in {\mathbb{R}}^3,\end{array}\right.$$ where $p\in (4,6)$, $\epsilon >0$ is a parameter and $V$ and $K$ satisfy the critical frequency conditions. By using variational methods and penalization arguments, we show the existence of multibump solutions for the above system. Furthermore, the heights of these bumps are different order.     

Norm of a multilinear integral operator from product of weighted-type spaces to weighted-type space

We investigate the following multilinear integral operator $$T_K^m(\overrightarrow{f})(x)={\int }_0^{\infty }\dots {\int }_0^{\infty }K(x,t_1,\dots ,t_m){\displaystyle \prod _{j=1}^m}{f}_j(t_j)d{t}_1\dots d{t}_m,$$ where $m\in ?$ and $K:{?}_{+}^{m+1}\to {?}_{+}$ is a continuous kernel function satisfying the condition $$K(x,g_1(x)s_1,\dots ,g_m(x)s_m)=h(x)K(1,s_1,\dots ,s_m),$$ for some functions $g_j,j=\stackrel{￣}{1,m}$, which are continuous, increasing, $g_j({?}_{+})={?}_{+},j=\stackrel{￣}{1,m}$, and a function $h:{?}_{+}\to {?}_{+}$, from a product of weighted-type spaces to weighted-type spaces of real functions. We calculate the norm of the operator, extending and complementing some results in the literature. We also give an explanation for a relation between integrals of an L^p integrable function and its radialization on ${?}^n$.     

Standing waves for a class of fractional p‐Laplacian equations with a general critical nonlinearity

In this paper, we concern with the following fractional p‐Laplacian equation with critical Sobolev exponent $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}{\epsilon }^{ps}{\left\{?\mathrm{\Delta }\right.}_p^{s}u+V(x){\left|u\right|}^{p?2}u=\lambda f(x){\left|u\right|}^{q?2}u+{\left|u\right|}^{p_s^{?}?2}u\text{in}{?}^N,\\ u\in W^{s,p}\left\{{?}^N\right.,u>0,\end{array}\right.$$ where ε > 0 is a small parameter,  λ > 0 , N is a positive integer, and N > ps with s ∈ (0, 1) fixed, $1<q\le p,p_s^{?}:=Np/\left(N?ps\right)$. Since the nonlinearity $h(x,u):=\lambda f(x){\left|u\right|}^{q?2}u+{\left|u\right|}^{p_s^{?}?2}u$ does not satisfy the following Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition: $$0<\mu H(x,u):=\mu {\int }_0^{u}h(x,t)dt\le h(x,u)u,x\in {?}^N,0\ne u\in ?,$$ with μ > p , it is difficult to obtain the boundedness of Palais‐Smale sequence, which is important to prove the existence of positive solutions. In order to overcome the above difficulty, we introduce a penalization method of fractional p‐Laplacian type.     

Two solutions for a class of singular Kirchhoff‐type problems with Hardy–Sobolev critical exponent II

In this article, we devote ourselves to investigate the following singular Kirchhoff‐type equation: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}?\left(a+b{\int }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}|?u{|}^{2}dx\right)\mathrm{\Delta }u=\frac{u^{5?2s}}{|x{|}^s}+\frac{\lambda }{|x{|}^{\beta }{u}^{\gamma }},x\in \mathrm{\Omega },\\ u>0,x\in \mathrm{\Omega },\\ u=0,x\in ?\mathrm{\Omega },\end{array}\right.$$ where $\mathrm{\Omega }?{?}^3$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ?Ω,0∈Ω,a≥0,b,λ>0,0<γ,s<1, and $0\le \beta <\frac{5+\gamma }{2}.$ By using the variational and perturbation methods, we obtain the existence of two positive solutions, which generalizes and improves the recent results in the literature.     

Unique weak solutions of the d‐dimensional micropolar equation with fractional dissipation

This article examines the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the d‐dimensional micropolar equations (d=2 or d=3) with general fractional dissipation (?Δ)^αu and (?Δ)^βw. The micropolar equations with standard Laplacian dissipation model fluids with microstructure. The generalization to include fractional dissipation allows simultaneous study of a family of equations and is relevant in some physical circumstances. We establish that, when $\alpha \ge \frac{1}{2}$ and $\beta \ge \frac{1}{2}$, any initial data (u₀,w₀) in the critical Besov space $u_0\in B_{2,1}^{1+\frac{d}{2}?2\alpha }({?}^d)$ and $w_0\in B_{2,1}^{1+\frac{d}{2}?2\beta }({?}^d)$ yields a unique weak solution. For α ≥ 1 and β=0, any initial data $u_0\in B_{2,1}^{1+\frac{d}{2}?2\alpha }({?}^d)$ and $w_0\in B_{2,1}^{\frac{d}{2}}({?}^d)$ also leads to a unique weak solution as well. The regularity indices in these Besov spaces appear to be optimal and can not be lowered in order to achieve the uniqueness. Especially, the 2D micropolar equations with the standard Laplacian dissipation, namely, α=β=1, have a unique weak solution for $(u_0,w_0)\in B_{2,1}^0$. The proof involves the construction of successive approximation sequences and extensive a priori estimates in Besov space settings.     

A critical Kirchhoff‐type problem driven by a p (·)‐fractional Laplace operator with variable s (·) ‐order

The paper deals with the following Kirchhoff‐type problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{lll}& M\left({?}_{{?}^{2N}}\frac{1}{p(x,y)}\frac{|v(x)?v(y){|}^{p(x,y)}}{|x?y{|}^{N+p(x,y)s(x,y)}}dxdy\right){(?\mathrm{\Delta })}_{p(·)}^{s(·)}v(x)=\mu g(x,v)+|v{|}^{r(x)?2}v& \text{in}\mathrm{\Omega },\\ & v=0& \text{in}{?}^N\backslash \mathrm{\Omega },\end{array}\right.$$ where M models a Kirchhoff coefficient, ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}_{p(·)}^{s(·)}$ is a variable s(·) ‐order p(·) ‐fractional Laplace operator, with $s(·):{?}^{2N}\to (0,1)$ and $p(·):{?}^{2N}\to (1,\infty )$. Here, $\mathrm{\Omega }?{?}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain with N > p(x, y)s(x, y) for any $(x,y)\in \overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}\times \overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}$, μ is a positive parameter, g is a continuous and subcritical function, while variable exponent r(x) could be close to the critical exponent $p_s^{?}(x)=N\overline{p}(x)/(N?\overline{s}(x)\overline{p}(x))$, given with $\overline{p}(x)=p(x,x)$ and $\overline{s}(x)=s(x,x)$ for $x\in \overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}$. We prove the existence and asymptotic behavior of at least one non‐trivial solution. For this, we exploit a suitable tricky step analysis of the critical mountain pass level, combined with a Brézis and Lieb‐type lemma for fractional Sobolev spaces with variable order and variable exponent.     

Criterion of Bari basis property for 2 × 2 Dirac-type operators with strictly regular boundary conditions

The paper is concerned with the Bari basis property of a boundary value problem associated in $L^2([0,1];{\mathbb{C}}^2)$ with the following 2 × 2 Dirac-type equation for $y=col(y_1,y_2)$: with a potential matrix $Q\in L^2([0,1];{\mathbb{C}}^{2\times 2})$ and subject to the strictly regular boundary conditions $Uy:=\{U_1,U_2\}y=0$. If $b_2=-b_1=1$, this equation is equivalent to one-dimensional Dirac equation. We show that the normalized system of root vectors ${\{f_n\}}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ of the operator $L_U(Q)$ is a Bari basis in $L^2([0,1];{\mathbb{C}}^2)$ if and only if the unperturbed operator $L_U(0)$ is self-adjoint. We also give explicit conditions for this in terms of coefficients in the boundary conditions. The Bari basis criterion is a consequence of our more general result: Let $Q\in L^p([0,1];{\mathbb{C}}^{2\times 2})$, $p\in [1,2]$, boundary conditions be strictly regular, and let ${\{g_n\}}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ be the sequence biorthogonal to the normalized system of root vectors ${\{f_n\}}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ of the operator $L_U(Q)$. Then, $$\{\parallel f_n-g_n{{\parallel }_2\}}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}\in {({\ell }^p(\mathbb{Z}))}^{\ast }\iff L_U(0)=L_U{(0)}^{\ast }.$$ These abstract results are applied to noncanonical initial-boundary value problem for a damped string equation.     

On the n-th linear polarization constant of Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$

We prove that given any set of n unit vectors ${\{v_i\}}_{i=1}^n\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$, the inequality $$\underset{{\parallel x\parallel }_{{\mathbb{R}}^n}=1}{sup}|⟨x,v_1⟩\cdots ⟨x,v_n⟩|\ge n^{-n/2}$$ holds for $n\le 14$. Moreover, the equality is attained if and only if ${\{v_i\}}_{i=1}^n$ is an orthonormal system.     

Existence and exponential decay for a nonlinear wave equation with nonlocal boundary conditions of 2N‐point type

This paper is devoted to the study of a nonlinear wave equation with initial conditions and nonlocal boundary conditions of 2N‐point type, which connect the values of an unknown function u(x,t) at x = 1, x = 0, x = η_i(t) , and x = θ_i(t), where $0<{\eta }_1(t)<{\eta }_2(t)<\dots <{\eta }_{{}_{N?1}}(t)<1,$ $0<{\theta }_1(t)<{\theta }_2(t)<\dots <{\theta }_{{}_{N?1}}(t)<1,$ for all t ≥ 0. First, we prove local existence of a unique weak solution by using density arguments and applying the Banach's contraction principle. Next, under the suitable conditions, we show that the problem considered has a unique global solution u(t) with energy decaying exponentially as t → +∞ . Finally, we present numerical results.     

On the interpolation constants for variable Lebesgue spaces

For $\theta \in (0,1)$ and variable exponents $p_0(·),q_0(·)$ and $p_1(·),q_1(·)$ with values in [1, ∞], let the variable exponents $p_{\theta }(·),q_{\theta }(·)$ be defined by $$1/p_{\theta }(·):=(1-\theta )/p_0(·)+\theta /p_1(·),1/q_{\theta }(·):=(1-\theta )/q_0(·)+\theta /q_1(·).$$ The Riesz–Thorin–type interpolation theorem for variable Lebesgue spaces says that if a linear operator T acts boundedly from the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p_j(·)}$ to the variable Lebesgue space $L^{q_j(·)}$ for $j=0,1$, then $${\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_{\theta }(·)}\to L^{q_{\theta }(·)}}\le {C\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_0(·)}\to L^{q_0(·)}}^{1-\theta }{\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_1(·)}\to L^{q_1(·)}}^{\theta },$$ where C is an interpolation constant independent of T. We consider two different modulars ${\varrho }^{\max }(·)$ and ${\varrho }^{\mathrm{sum}}(·)$ generating variable Lebesgue spaces and give upper estimates for the corresponding interpolation constants C_max and C_sum, which imply that $C_{\max }\le 2$ and $C_{\mathrm{sum}}\le 4$, as well as, lead to sufficient conditions for $C_{\max }=1$ and $C_{\mathrm{sum}}=1$. We also construct an example showing that, in many cases, our upper estimates are sharp and the interpolation constant is greater than one, even if one requires that $p_j(·)=q_j(·)$, $j=0,1$ are Lipschitz continuous and bounded away from one and infinity (in this case, ${\varrho }^{\max }(·)={\varrho }^{\mathrm{sum}}(·)$).     

Interior continuity,continuity up to the boundary,and Harnack's inequality for double-phase elliptic equations with nonlogarithmic conditions

We prove continuity and Harnack's inequality for bounded solutions to elliptic equations of the type under the precise choice of μ.      

The fractional porous medium equation on manifolds with conical singularities II

This is the second of a series of two papers that studies the fractional porous medium equation, ${\partial }_{t}u+{(-\mathrm{\Delta })}^{\sigma }{(|u|}^{m-1}u)=0$ with $m>0$ and $\sigma \in (0,1]$, posed on a Riemannian manifold with isolated conical singularities. The first aim of the article is to derive some useful properties for the Mellin–Sobolev spaces including the Rellich–Kondrachov theorem and Sobolev–Poincaré, Nash and Super Poincaré type inequalities. The second part of the article is devoted to the study the Markovian extensions of the conical Laplacian operator and its fractional powers. Then based on the obtained results, we establish existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution for $L_{\infty }-$initial data and all $m>0$. We further investigate a number of properties of the solutions, including comparison principle, $L_p-$contraction and conservation of mass. Our approach is quite general and thus is applicable to a variety of similar problems on manifolds with more general singularities.
