Invariant manifolds, global attractors, almost automorphic and almost periodic solutions of non-autonomous differential equations

The paper is devoted to the study of non-autonomous evolution equations: invariant manifolds, compact global attractors, almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions. We study this problem in the framework of general non-autonomous (cocycle) dynamical systems. First, we prove that under some conditions such systems admit an invariant continuous section (an invariant manifold). Then, we obtain the conditions for the existence of a compact global attractor and characterize its structure. Third, we derive a criterion for the existence of almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions of different classes of non-autonomous differential equations (both ODEs (in finite and infinite spaces) and PDEs).     

Square-mean almost periodic solutions to some stochastic evolution equations

This paper concerns the square-mean almost periodic mild solutions to a class of abstract nonautonomous functional integro-differential stochastic evolution equations in a real separable Hilbert space. By using the so-called "Acquistapace–Terreni" conditions and the Banach fixed point theorem, we establish the existence, uniqueness and the asymptotical stability of square-mean almost periodic solutions to such nonautonomous stochastic differential equations. As an application, almost periodic solution to a concrete nonautonomous stochastic integro-differential equation is considered to illustrate the applicability of our abstract results.     

Bochner’s theorem and Stepanov almost periodic functions

Motivated by a renewed interest in generalizations of classical almost periodicity (originally due to Harald Bohr), we develop a theorem of Bochner within the framework of almost periodic functions in the sense of Stepanov. As a result we establish some conditions that guarantee the existence of Stepanov almost periodic solutions to differential equations with Stepanov almost periodic coefficients. Finally, we extend a now classic theorem of Favard originally stated for classical almost periodic functions to the Stepanov almost periodic case.      

Validity of the NLS approximation for periodic quantum graphs

We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation on a spatially extended periodic quantum graph. With a multiple scaling expansion, an effective amplitude equation can be derived in order to describe slow modulations in time and space of an oscillating wave packet. Using Bloch wave analysis and Gronwall’s inequality, we estimate the distance between the macroscopic approximation which is obtained via the amplitude equation and true solutions of the NLS equation on the periodic quantum graph. Moreover, we prove an approximation result for the amplitude equations which occur at the Dirac points of the system.     

Analysis of the Lorenz Equations for Large r

In the limit of large r, the Lorenz equations become “almost” conservative. In this limit, one can use the method of averaging (or some equivalent) to obtain a set of two autonomous differential equations for two slowly varying amplitude functions B and D. A stable fixed point of these equations represents the stable periodic solution which is observed at large r. There is an invariant line B = D on which the method breaks down and the averaged equations are no longer valid. In this paper we show how to extend the validity of the analysis by Poincaré mapping B and D across this line. This extended analysis provides (in principl ) a complete recipe for constructing approximate solutions, and shows how a strange invariant set can occur in connection with an essentially analytically constructed two-dimensional mapping.     

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS AND ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A NONAUTONOMOUS PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH STAGE-STRUCTURE AND DELAY

In this paper, by using the comparing theorem, Razumikhin-type theorem and V-function method, we consider a nonautonomous predator-prey system with stage-structure and time-delay. We get the sufficient conditions for the uniform persistence and the solutions global attractivity of this system. For a periodic system, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a positive periodic solution of this system. For an almost periodic system, we prove the existence and the uniform asymptotic stability of the almost periodic solutions of this system.     

Periodic processes and dispersion relations for Ablowitz–Ladik equations

There is considered the system of algebraic dispersion equations for the complexified Ablowitz–Ladik discrete equations and relevant reductions to “dark” and “white” versions, in an analogy to the NLS equation. An universal formalism presented here allows to determine effectively parameters of multiphase quasiperiodic solutions, multisoliton ones and of solutions in a form of solitons on a quasiperiodic background. This idea is connected with so-called soliton limit, which in the case of the white type solution, differs essentially from those introduced in the past and must be preceded by some modular transformation. There is a full correspondence with a similar approach for NLS equations. A few subtleties concerning solvability and examples are also discussed.

Existence of a time periodic solution for the compressible Euler equation with a time periodic outer force

We are concerned with a time periodic supersonic flow through a bounded interval. This motion is described by the compressible Euler equation with a time periodic outer force. Our goal in this paper is to prove the existence of a time periodic solution. Although this is a fundamental problem for other equations, it has not been received much attention for the system of conservation laws until now.When we prove the existence of the time periodic solution, we face with two problems. One is to prove that initial data and the corresponding solutions after one period are contained in the same bounded set. To overcome this, we employ the generalized invariant region, which depends on the space variables. This enable us to investigate the behavior of solutions in detail. Second is to construct a continuous map. We apply a fixed point theorem to the map from initial data to solutions after one period. Then, the map needs to be continuous. To construct this, we introduce the modified Lax–Friedrichs scheme, which has a recurrence formula consisting of discretized approximate solutions. The formula yields the desired map. Moreover, the invariant region grantees that it maps a compact convex set to itself. In virtue of the fixed point theorem, we can prove a existence of a fixed point, which represents a time periodic solution. Finally, we apply the compensated compactness framework to prove the convergence of our approximate solutions.     

Invariant Measures and the Soliton Resolution Conjecture

The soliton resolution conjecture for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is the vaguely worded claim that a global solution of the NLS, for generic initial data, will eventually resolve into a radiation component that disperses like a linear solution, plus a localized component that behaves like a soliton or multisoliton solution. Considered to be one of the fundamental open problems in the area of nonlinear dispersive equations, this conjecture has eluded a proof or even a precise formulation to date. This paper proves a “statistical version” of this conjecture at mass‐subcritical nonlinearity, in the following sense: The uniform probability distribution on the set of all functions with a given mass and energy, if such a thing existed, would be a natural invariant measure for the NLS flow and would reflect the long‐term behavior for “generic initial data” with that mass and energy. Unfortunately, such a probability measure does not exist. We circumvent this problem by constructing a sequence of discrete measures that, in principle, approximate this fictitious probability distribution as the grid size goes to 0. We then show that a continuum limit of this sequence of probability measures does exist in a certain sense, and in agreement with the soliton resolution conjecture, the limit measure concentrates on the unique ground state soliton. Combining this with results from ergodic theory, we present a tentative formulation and proof of the soliton resolution conjecture in the discrete setting. The above results, following in the footsteps of a program of studying the long‐term behavior of nonlinear dispersive equations through their natural invariant measures initiated by Lebowitz, Rose, and Speer and carried forward by Bourgain, McKean, Tzvetkov, Oh, and others, are proved using a combination of techniques from large deviations, PDEs, harmonic analysis, and bare‐hands probability theory. It is valid in any dimension. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Asymptotically Stationary Processes on Amenable Groups

Abstract

Vector-valued, asymptotically stationary processes on σ-compact locally compact amenable groups are studied. For such processes, we introduce associated spectral measures. Using an “almost periodic Fourier transform,” one can identify the almost periodic spectrum of the asymptotically stationary covariance, and we construct a natural, consistent estimator for this almost periodic spectrum.     

Almost automorphic solutions for abstract functional differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with an almost automorphic forcing term, we establish a result on the existence of almost automorphic solutions, which extends the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations.     

Limits of Regularizations for Generalized Function Solutions to the Schrödinger Equation with ‘Square Root of Delta’ Initial Value

We briefly review results on generalized solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear Schrödinger-type equations with non-smooth principal part and their compatibility with classical and distributional solutions. In the main part, we study convergence properties of regularized solutions to the standard Schrödinger equation with initial values corresponding to ‘square roots’ of Dirac measures in various duals of classical subspaces of the space of continuous functions. In particular, the main result establishes as limit the invariant mean on the space of almost periodic functions as the restriction of the Haar measure on the Bohr compactification of \(\mathbb {R}^n\).     

Zero dispersion and viscosity limits of invariant manifolds for focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Zero dispersion and viscosity limits of invariant manifolds for focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) are studied. We start with spatially uniform and temporally periodic solutions (the so-called Stokes waves). We find that the spectra of the linear NLS at the Stokes waves often have surprising limits as dispersion or viscosity tends to zero. When dispersion (or viscosity) is set to zero, the size of invariant manifolds and/or Fenichel fibers approaches zero as viscosity (or dispersion) tends to zero. When dispersion (or viscosity) is nonzero, the size of invariant manifolds and/or Fenichel fibers approaches a nonzero limit as viscosity (or dispersion) tends to zero. When dispersion is nonzero, the center-stable manifold, as a function of viscosity, is not smooth at zero viscosity. A subset of the center-stable manifold is smooth at zero viscosity. The unstable Fenichel fiber is smooth at zero viscosity. When viscosity is nonzero, the stable Fenichel fiber is smooth at zero dispersion.     

Extended Lagrangian approach for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We study the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation written in hydrodynamic form through the Madelung transform. From the mathematical point of view, the hydrodynamic form can be seen as the Euler–Lagrange equations for a Lagrangian submitted to a differential constraint corresponding to the mass conservation law. The dispersive nature of the NLS equation poses some major numerical challenges. The idea is to introduce a two‐parameter family of extended Lagrangians, depending on a greater number of variables, whose Euler–Lagrange equations are hyperbolic and accurately approximate NLS equation in a certain limit. The corresponding hyperbolic equations are studied and solved numerically using Godunov‐type methods. Comparison of exact and asymptotic solutions to the one‐dimensional cubic NLS equation (“gray” solitons and dispersive shocks) and the corresponding numerical solutions to the extended system was performed. A very good accuracy of such a hyperbolic approximation was observed.     

Normal forms, stability and splitting of invariant manifolds II. Finitely differentiable Hamiltonians

This paper is a sequel to “Normal forms, stability and splitting of invariant manifolds I. Gevrey Hamiltonians”, in which we gave a new construction of resonant normal forms with an exponentially small remainder for near-integrableGevrey Hamiltonians at a quasiperiodic frequency, using a method of periodic approximations. In this second part we focus on finitely differentiable Hamiltonians, and we derive normal forms with a polynomially small remainder. As applications, we obtain a polynomially large upper bound on the stability time for the evolution of the action variables and a polynomially small upper bound on the splitting of invariant manifolds for hyperbolic tori.
