Weak solutions of semilinear elliptic equation involving Dirac mass

In this paper, we study the elliptic problem with Dirac mass

(1)$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=V{u}^p+k{\delta }_0\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ \underset{|x|\to +\infty }{\lim }?u(x)=0,\hfill \end{array}$

where $N>2$, $p>0$, $k>0$, ${\delta }_0$ is the Dirac mass at the origin and the potential V is locally Lipchitz continuous in ${\mathbb{R}}^N?\{0\}$, with non-empty support and satisfying

$0\le V(x)\le \frac{{\sigma }_1}{|x{|}^{a_0}(1+|x{|}^{a_{\infty }?a_0})},$

with $a_0<N$, $a_0<a_{\infty }$ and ${\sigma }_1>0$. We obtain two positive solutions of (1) with additional conditions for parameters on $a_{\infty },a_0$, p and k. The first solution is a minimal positive solution and the second solution is constructed via Mountain Pass Theorem.     

Renormalized radial large-data solutions to the higher-dimensional Keller–Segel system with singular sensitivity and signal absorption

The chemotaxis system

$\{\begin{array}{c}{u}_t=\mathrm{\Delta }u?\mathrm{?}?\left(\frac{u}{v}\mathrm{?}v\right),\hfill \\ v_t=\mathrm{\Delta }v?uv,\hfill \end{array}(?)$

is considered under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in the ball $\mathrm{\Omega }=B_R(0)?{\mathbb{R}}^n$, where $R>0$ and $n\ge 2$.Despite its great relevance as a model for the spontaneous emergence of spatial structures in populations of primitive bacteria, since its introduction by Keller and Segel in 1971 this system has been lacking a satisfactory theory even at the level of the basic questions from the context of well-posedness; global existence results in the literature are restricted to spatially one- or two-dimensional cases so far, or alternatively require certain smallness hypotheses on the initial data.For all suitably regular and radially symmetric initial data $(u_0,v_0)$ satisfying $u_0\ge 0$ and $v_0>0$, the present paper establishes the existence of a globally defined pair $(u,v)$ of radially symmetric functions which are continuous in $(\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}?\{0\})\times [0,\infty )$ and smooth in $(\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}?\{0\})\times (0,\infty )$, and which solve the corresponding initial-boundary value problem for (?) with $(u(?,0),v(?,0))=(u_0,v_0)$ in an appropriate generalized sense. To the best of our knowledge, this in particular provides the first result on global existence for the three-dimensional version of (?) involving arbitrarily large initial data.     

Boundedness and asymptotic stability of solutions to a two-species chemotaxis system with consumption of chemoattractant

This paper deals with a two-competing-species chemotaxis system with consumption of chemoattractant

$\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}_t=d_1\mathrm{\Delta }u?\mathrm{?}?(u{\chi }_1(w)\mathrm{?}w)+{\mu }_{1}u(1?u?a_{1}v),\hfill & x\in \mathrm{\Omega },t>0,\hfill \\ v_t=d_2\mathrm{\Delta }v?\mathrm{?}?(v{\chi }_2(w)\mathrm{?}w)+{\mu }_{2}v(1?a_{2}u?v),\hfill & x\in \mathrm{\Omega },t>0,\hfill \\ w_t=d_3\mathrm{\Delta }w?(\alpha u+\beta v)w,\hfill & x\in \mathrm{\Omega },t>0\hfill \end{array}$

under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^n$ ($n\ge 1$) with smooth boundary, where the initial data $(u_0,v_0)\in {(C^0(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }}))}^2$ and $w_0\in W^{1,\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })$ are non-negative and the parameters $d_1,d_2,d_3>0$, ${\mu }_1,{\mu }_2>0$, $a_1,a_2>0$ and $\alpha ,\beta >0$. The chemotactic function ${\chi }_i(w)$ ($i=1,2$) is smooth and satisfying some conditions. It is proved that the corresponding initial–boundary value problem possesses a unique global bounded classical solution if one of the following cases hold: for $i=1,2$,(i) ${\chi }_i(w)={\chi }_{0,i}>0$ and

${6w_{0}6}_{L^{\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })}<\frac{\pi \sqrt{d_i{d}_3}}{\sqrt{n+1}{\chi }_{0,i}}?\frac{2\sqrt{d_i{d}_3}}{\sqrt{n+1}{\chi }_{0,i}}\arctan ?\frac{d_i?d_3}{2}\sqrt{\frac{n+1}{d_i{d}_3}};$

(ii) $0<{6w_{0}6}_{L^{\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })}\le \frac{d_3}{3(n+1){6{\chi }_{i}6}_{L^{\infty }[0,{6w_{0}6}_{L^{\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })}]}}\min ?\{\frac{2d_i}{d_i+d_3},1\}$.Moreover, we prove asymptotic stabilization of solutions in the sense that:? If $a_1,a_2\in (0,1)$ and $u_0\ne 0\ne v_0$, then any global bounded solution exponentially converge to $(\frac{1?a_1}{1?a_1{a}_2},\frac{1?a_2}{1?a_1{a}_2},0)$ as $t\to \infty$;? If $a_1>1>a_2>0$ and $v_0\ne 0$, then any global bounded solution exponentially converge to $(0,1,0)$ as $t\to \infty$;? If $a_1=1>a_2>0$ and $v_0\ne 0$, then any global bounded solution algebraically converge to $(0,1,0)$ as $t\to \infty$.     

The E-normal structure of odd dimensional unitary groups

In this paper we define odd dimensional unitary groups ${\mathrm{U}}_{2n+1}(R,\mathrm{\Delta })$. These groups contain as special cases the odd dimensional general linear groups ${\mathrm{GL}}_{2n+1}(R)$ where R is any ring, the odd dimensional orthogonal and symplectic groups ${\mathrm{O}}_{2n+1}(R)$ and ${\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n+1}(R)$ where R is any commutative ring and further the first author's even dimensional unitary groups ${\mathrm{U}}_{2n}(R,\mathrm{\Lambda })$ where $(R,\mathrm{\Lambda })$ is any form ring. We classify the E-normal subgroups of the groups ${\mathrm{U}}_{2n+1}(R,\mathrm{\Delta })$ (i.e. the subgroups which are normalized by the elementary subgroup ${\mathrm{EU}}_{2n+1}(R,\mathrm{\Delta })$), under the condition that R is either a semilocal or quasifinite ring with involution and $n\ge 3$. Further we investigate the action of ${\mathrm{U}}_{2n+1}(R,\mathrm{\Delta })$ by conjugation on the set of all E-normal subgroups.     

On the Hénon equation with a Neumann boundary condition: Asymptotic profile of ground states

Consider the Hénon equation with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition

$?\mathrm{\Delta }u+u=|x{|}^{\alpha }{u}^p,u>0\text{in}\mathrm{\Omega },\frac{?u}{?\nu }=0\text{ on }?\mathrm{\Omega },$

where $\mathrm{\Omega }?B(0,1)?{\mathbb{R}}^N,N\ge 2$ and $?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1)\ne ?$. We are concerned on the asymptotic behavior of ground state solutions as the parameter $\alpha \to \infty$. As $\alpha \to \infty$, the non-autonomous term $|x{|}^{\alpha }$ is getting singular near $|x|=1$. The singular behavior of $|x{|}^{\alpha }$ for large $\alpha >0$ forces the solution to blow up. Depending subtly on the $(N?1)?$dimensional measure $|?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1){|}_{N?1}$ and the nonlinear growth rate p, there are many different types of limiting profiles. To catch the asymptotic profiles, we take different types of renormalization depending on p and $|?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1){|}_{N?1}$. In particular, the critical exponent $2_{?}=\frac{2(N?1)}{N?2}$ for the Sobolev trace embedding plays a crucial role in the renormalization process. This is quite contrasted with the case of Dirichlet problems, where there is only one type of limiting profile for any $p\in (1,2^{?}?1)$ and a smooth domain Ω.     

Delay differential logistic equation with linear harvesting

In this paper, we consider a logistic delay equation with a linear delay harvesting term of the following form:$\dot{N}(t)=r(t)N(t)\left[a-b_{0}N(t)-\sum _{k=1}^m{b}_{k}N(h_k(t))\right]-\sum _{l=1}^n{c}_l(t)N(g_l(t)),t⩾0\text{,}$$N(t)=\phi (t),t<0,N(0)=N_0$in both cases when $b_0=0$ and $b_0\ne 0$. We present some results on the boundedness and positiveness of the solutions of this equation without the condition that $N_0$ is upper bounded by some constant which is necessary to the corresponding results in [L. Berezansky, E. Braverman, L. Idels, Delay differential logistic equation with harvesting, Math. Comput. Modelling 40 (2004) 1509–1525], and our results extend these known results.     

On Birman's sequence of Hardy–Rellich-type inequalities

In 1961, Birman proved a sequence of inequalities $\{I_n\}$, for $n\in \mathbb{N}$, valid for functions in $C_0^n((0,\infty ))?L^2((0,\infty ))$. In particular, $I_1$ is the classical (integral) Hardy inequality and $I_2$ is the well-known Rellich inequality. In this paper, we give a proof of this sequence of inequalities valid on a certain Hilbert space $H_n([0,\infty ))$ of functions defined on $[0,\infty )$. Moreover, $f\in H_n([0,\infty ))$ implies $f^{\prime }\in H_{n?1}([0,\infty ))$; as a consequence of this inclusion, we see that the classical Hardy inequality implies each of the inequalities in Birman's sequence. We also show that for any finite $b>0$, these inequalities hold on the standard Sobolev space $H_0^n((0,b))$. Furthermore, in all cases, the Birman constants ${[(2n?1)!!]}^2/2^{2n}$ in these inequalities are sharp and the only function that gives equality in any of these inequalities is the trivial function in $L^2((0,\infty ))$ (resp., $L^2((0,b))$). We also show that these Birman constants are related to the norm of a generalized continuous Cesàro averaging operator whose spectral properties we determine in detail.     

Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities and non-inequalities: The full story

We investigate the validity of the Gagliardo–Nirenberg type inequality

(1)${6f6}_{W^{s,p}(\mathrm{\Omega })}?{6f6}_{W^{s_1,p_1}(\mathrm{\Omega })}^{\theta }{6f6}_{W^{s_2,p_2}(\mathrm{\Omega })}^{1?\theta },$

with $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^N$. Here, $0\le s_1\le s\le s_2$ are non negative numbers (not necessarily integers), $1\le p_1,p,p_2\le \infty$, and we assume the standard relations

$s=\theta s_1+(1?\theta )s_2,1/p=\theta /p_1+(1?\theta )/p_2\text{ for some }\theta \in (0,1).$

By the seminal contributions of E. Gagliardo and L. Nirenberg, (1) holds when $s_1,s_2,s$ are integers. It turns out that (1) holds for “most” of values of $s_1,\dots ,p_2$, but not for all of them. We present an explicit condition on $s_1,s_2,p_1,p_2$ which allows to decide whether (1) holds or fails.     

Bounding the number of limit cycles of discontinuous differential systems by using Picard–Fuchs equations

In this paper, by using Picard–Fuchs equations and Chebyshev criterion, we study the upper bounds of the number of limit cycles given by the first order Melnikov function for discontinuous differential systems, which can bifurcate from the periodic orbits of quadratic reversible centers of genus one (r19): $\dot{x}=y?12x^2+16y^2$, $\dot{y}=?x?16xy$, and (r20): $\dot{x}=y+4x^2$, $\dot{y}=?x+16xy$, and the periodic orbits of the quadratic isochronous centers $(S_1):\dot{x}=?y+x^2?y^2$, $\dot{y}=x+2xy$, and $(S_2):\dot{x}=?y+x^2$, $\dot{y}=x+xy$. The systems (r19) and (r20) are perturbed inside the class of polynomial differential systems of degree n and the system $(S_1)$ and $(S_2)$ are perturbed inside the class of quadratic polynomial differential systems. The discontinuity is the line $y=0$. It is proved that the upper bounds of the number of limit cycles for systems (r19) and (r20) are respectively $4n?3(n\ge 4)$ and $4n+3(n\ge 3)$ counting the multiplicity, and the maximum numbers of limit cycles bifurcating from the period annuluses of the isochronous centers $(S_1)$ and $(S_2)$ are exactly 5 and 6 (counting the multiplicity) on each period annulus respectively.     

Classification of solutions of elliptic equations arising from a gravitational O(3) gauge field model

In this paper, we study an elliptic equation arising from the self-dual Maxwell gauged $O(3)$ sigma model coupled with gravity. When the parameter τ equals 1 and there is only one singular source, we consider radially symmetric solutions. There appear three important constants: a positive parameter a representing a scaled gravitational constant, a nonnegative integer $N_1$ representing the total string number, and a nonnegative integer $N_2$ representing the total anti-string number. The values of the products $a{N}_1,a{N}_2\in [0,\infty )$ play a crucial role in classifying radial solutions. By using the decay rates of solutions at infinity, we provide a complete classification of solutions for all possible values of $a{N}_1$ and $a{N}_2$. This improves previously known results.     

Y spaces and global smooth solution of fractional Navier–Stokes equations with initial value in the critical oscillation spaces

For fractional Navier–Stokes equations and critical initial spaces X, one used to establish the well-posedness in the solution space which is contained in $C({\mathbb{R}}_{+},X)$. In this paper, for heat flow, we apply parameter Meyer wavelets to introduce Y spaces $Y^{m,\beta }$ where $Y^{m,\beta }$ is not contained in $C({\mathbb{R}}_{+},{\dot{B}}_{\infty }^{1?2\beta ,\infty })$. Consequently, for $\frac{1}{2}<\beta <1$, we establish the global well-posedness of fractional Navier–Stokes equations with small initial data in all the critical oscillation spaces. The critical oscillation spaces may be any Besov–Morrey spaces ${({\dot{B}}_{p,q}^{{\gamma }_1,{\gamma }_2}({\mathbb{R}}^n))}^n$ or any Triebel–Lizorkin–Morrey spaces ${({\dot{F}}_{p,q}^{{\gamma }_1,{\gamma }_2}({\mathbb{R}}^n))}^n$ where $1\le p,q\le \infty ,0\le {\gamma }_2\le \frac{n}{p},{\gamma }_1?{\gamma }_2=1?2\beta$. These critical spaces include many known spaces. For example, Besov spaces, Sobolev spaces, Bloch spaces, Q-spaces, Morrey spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces etc.     

Un contre-exemple pour un espace d'interpolation qui n'est pas faiblement LUR

According to a previous result of the author, if $(A_0,A_1)$ is an interpolation couple, if $A_0^{?}$ is weakly LUR, then the complex interpolation spaces ${(A_0^{?},A_1^{?})}_{\theta }$ have the same property.Here we construct an interpolation couple $(B_0,B_1)$ where $B_0$ is LUR, but where the complex interpolation spaces ${(B_0,B_1)}_{\theta }$ are not strictly convex.     

Sharp threshold of blow-up and scattering for the fractional Hartree equation

We consider the fractional Hartree equation in the $L^2$-supercritical case, and find a sharp threshold of the scattering versus blow-up dichotomy for radial data: If $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[u_0]<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[Q]$ and $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6u_{0}6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6Q6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2$, then the solution $u(t)$ is globally well-posed and scatters; if $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[u_0]<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[Q]$ and $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6u_{0}6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2>M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6Q6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2$, the solution $u(t)$ blows up in finite time. This condition is sharp in the sense that the solitary wave solution $e^{it}Q(x)$ is global but not scattering, which satisfies the equality in the above conditions. Here, Q is the ground-state solution for the fractional Hartree equation.
