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.     

Critical exponent for non-Newtonian filtration equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary data

This paper is concerned with large time behavior of solutions to the homogeneous Neumann problem of the non-Newtonian filtration equation. It is shown that the critical Fujita exponent for the problem considered is determined not only by the spatial dimension and the nonlinearity exponent, but also by the coefficient k of the first-order term. In fact, we show that there exist two thresholds k_∞ and k₁ on the coefficient k of the first-order term, and the critical Fujita exponent is a finite number when k is between k_∞ and k₁, while the critical exponent does not exist when k⩽k_∞ or k⩾k₁.

Critical exponent for damped wave equations with nonlinear memory

We consider the Cauchy problem in Rⁿ,n≥1, for a semilinear damped wave equation with nonlinear memory. Global existence and asymptotic behavior as t→∞ of small data solutions have been established in the case when 1≤n≤3. We also derive a blow-up result under some positive data in any dimensional space.     

Critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations in the N-dimensional half space

We generalize a previous result of Ikehata (Math. Methods Appl. Sci., in press), which studies the critical exponent problem of a semilinear damped wave equation in the one-dimensional half space, to the general N-dimensional half space case. That is to say, one can show the small data global existence of solutions of a mixed problem for the equation u_tt−Δu+u_t=|u|^p with the power p satisfying p∗(N)=1+2/(N+1)<p?N/[N−2]+ if we deal with the problem in the N-dimensional half space.     

Existence of nodal solution for semi-linear elliptic equations with critical sobolev exponent on singular manifold

In this article, we prove that semi-linear elliptic equations with critical cone Sobolev exponents possess a nodal solution.     

Periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation with convective nonlinearity

We study the nonlinear damped wave equation with a linear pumping and a convective nonlinearity. We consider the solutions, which satisfy the periodic boundary conditions. Our aim is to prove global existence of solutions to the periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation by applying the energy-type estimates and estimates for the Green operator. Moreover, we study the asymptotic profile of global solutions.     

Blowup in solutions of a quasilinear wave equation with variable‐exponent nonlinearities

We consider, in this paper, the following nonlinear equation with variable exponents: where a,b>0 are constants and the exponents of nonlinearity m,p, and r are given functions. We prove a finite‐time blow‐up result for the solutions with negative initial energy and for certain solutions with positive energy.     

Nonexistence for the Laplace equation with a dynamical boundary condition of fractional type

We consider the Laplace equation in ? ^d?1 × ?⁺ × (0,+∞) with a dynamical nonlinear boundary condition of order between 1 and 2. Namely, the boundary condition is a fractional differential inequality involving derivatives of noninteger order as well as a nonlinear source. Nonexistence results and necessary conditions are established for local and global existence. In particular, we show that the critical exponent depends only on the fractional derivative of the least order.     

Global well-posedness for strongly damped viscoelastic wave equation

We study the initial boundary value problem for the nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with strong damping term and dispersive term. By introducing a family of potential wells we not only obtain the invariant sets, but also prove the existence and nonexistence of global weak solution under some conditions with low initial energy. Furthermore, we establish a blow-up result for certain solutions with arbitrary positive initial energy (high energy case)     

Attractors for the strongly damped wave equation with p‐Laplacian

This paper is concerned with the initial‐boundary value problem for one‐dimensional strongly damped wave equation involving p‐Laplacian. For p > 2 , we establish the existence of weak local attractors for this problem in . Under restriction 2 < p < 4, we prove that the semigroup, generated by the considered problem, possesses a strong global attractor in , and this attractor is a bounded subset of .

Robust exponential attractors for a class of non-autonomous semi-linear second-order evolution equation with memory and critical nonlinearity

In this article, we investigate a class of non-autonomous semi-linear second-order evolution with memory terms, expressed by the convolution integrals, which account for the past history of one or more variables. First, the asymptotic regularity of solutions is proved, while the nonlinearity is critical and the time-dependent external forcing term is assumed to be only translation-bounded (instead of translation-compact), and then the existence of compact uniform attractors together with its structure and regularity is established. Finally, the existence of robust family of exponential attractors is constructed.     

Critical exponents in a degenerate parabolic equation with weighted source

This article deals with the Fujita-type theorems to the Cauchy problem of degenerate parabolic equation not in divergence form with weighted source u _t ?=?u ^p Δu?+?a(x)u ^q in ? ⁿ ?×?(0,?T), where p?≥?1, q?>?1, and the positive weight function a(x) is of the order |x| ^m with m?>??2. It was known that for the degenerate diffusion equation in divergence form, the weight function affects both of the critical Fujita exponent and the second critical exponent (describing the critical smallness of initial data required by global solutions via the decay rates of the initial data at space-infinity). Contrarily, it is interesting to prove that the weight function in the present model with degenerate diffusion not in divergence form influences the second critical exponent only, without changing the critical Fujita exponent.     

Semilinear structural damped waves

We study the Cauchy problem for the semilinear structural damped wave equation with source term with σ ∈ (0,1] in space dimension n ≥ 2 and with a positive constant μ. We are interested in the influence of σ on the critical exponent p_crit in | f(u) | ≈ | u | ^p. This critical exponent is the threshold between global existence in time of small data solutions and blow‐up behavior for some suitable range of p. Our results are optimal for σ = 1 ∕ 2.

Stabilization of a locally damped incompressible wave equation

We show that the solutions of an incompressible vector wave equation with a locally distributed nonlinear damping decay in an algebraic rate to zero, that is, denoting by E(t) the total energy associated to the system, there exist positive constants C (which depends on E(0)) and γ satisfying, for t?0: E(t)?C(1+t)^−γ.     

Decay rates of energy of the 1D damped original nonlinear wave equation

We consider the decay rate of energy of the 1D damped original nonlinear wave equation. We first construct a new energy function. Then, employing the perturbed energy method and the generalized Young’s inequality, we prove that, with a general growth assumption on the nonlinear damping force near the origin, the decay rate of energy is governed by a dissipative ordinary differential equation. This allows us to recover the classical exponential, polynomial, or logarithmic decay rate for the linear, polynomial or exponentially degenerating damping force near the origin, respectively. Unlike the linear wave equation, the exponential decay rate constant depends on the initial data, due to the nonlinearity.
