EXISTENCE AND BLOW-UP BEHAVIOR OF CONSTRAINED MINIMIZERS FOR SCHRDINGER-POISSON-SLATER SYSTEM

In this article,we study constrained minimizers of the following variational problem e(p):=inf{u∈H1(R3),||u||22=p}E(u),p〉0,where E(u)is the Schrdinger-Poisson-Slater(SPS)energy functional E(u):=1/2∫R3︱▽u(x)︱2dx-1/4∫R3∫R3u2(y)u2(x)/︱x-y︱dydx-1/p∫R3︱u(x)︱pdx in R3 and p∈(2,6).We prove the existence of minimizers for the cases 2p10/3,ρ0,and p=10/3,0ρρ~*,and show that e(ρ)=-∞for the other cases,whereρ~*=||φ||_2~2 andφ(x)is the unique(up to translations)positive radially symmetric solution of-△u+u=u~(7/3)in R~3.Moreover,when e(ρ~*)=-∞,the blow-up behavior of minimizers asρ↗ρ~*is also analyzed rigorously.     

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.     

THE GLOBAL ATTRACTOR FOR A VISCOUS WEAKLY DISSIPATIVE GENERALIZED TWO-COMPONENT μ-HUNTER-SAXTON SYSTEM

This article is concerned with the existence of global attractor of a weakly dissipative generalized two-component μ-Hunter-Saxton(gμHS2) system with viscous terms.Under the period boundary conditions and with the help of the Galerkin procedure and compactness method, we first investigate the existence of global solution for the viscous weakly dissipative(gμHS2) system. On the basis of some uniformly prior estimates of the solution to the viscous weakly dissipative(gμHS2) system, we show that the semi-group of the solution operator {S(t)}t≥0 has a bounded absorbing set. Moreover, we prove that the dynamical system {S(t)}t≥0 possesses a global attractor in the Sobolev space H~2(S) × H~2(S).     

Global uniqueness in an inverse problem for time fractional diffusion equations

Given $(M,g)$, a compact connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $d?2$, with boundary ?M, we consider an initial boundary value problem for a fractional diffusion equation on $(0,T)\times M$, $T>0$, with time-fractional Caputo derivative of order $\alpha \in (0,1)\cup (1,2)$. We prove uniqueness in the inverse problem of determining the smooth manifold $(M,g)$ (up to an isometry), and various time-independent smooth coefficients appearing in this equation, from measurements of the solutions on a subset of ?M at fixed time. In the “flat” case where M is a compact subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, two out the three coefficients ρ (density), a (conductivity) and q (potential) appearing in the equation $\rho {?}_t^{\alpha }u?\mathrm{div}\left(a\mathrm{?}u\right)+qu=0$ on $(0,T)\times M$ are recovered simultaneously.     

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 $t\to \infty$.     

Convergence rates and interior estimates in homogenization of higher order elliptic systems

This paper is concerned with the quantitative homogenization of 2m-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable, rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. We establish the sharp $O(\epsilon )$ convergence rate in $W^{m?1,p_0}$ with $p_0=\frac{2d}{d?1}$ in a bounded Lipschitz domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ as well as the uniform large-scale interior $C^{m?1,1}$ estimate. With additional smoothness assumptions, the uniform interior $C^{m?1,1}$, $W^{m,p}$ and $C^{m?1,\alpha }$ estimates are also obtained. As applications of the regularity estimates, we establish asymptotic expansions for fundamental solutions.     

Self-similar solutions of stationary Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we mainly study the existence of self-similar solutions of stationary Navier–Stokes equations for dimension $n=3,4$. For $n=3$, if the external force is axisymmetric, scaling invariant, $C^{1,\alpha }$ continuous away from the origin and small enough on the sphere $S^2$, we shall prove that there exists a family of axisymmetric self-similar solutions which can be arbitrarily large in the class $C_{loc}^{3,\alpha }({\mathbb{R}}^3\backslash 0)$. Moreover, for axisymmetric external forces without swirl, corresponding to this family, the momentum flux of the flow along the symmetry axis can take any real number. However, there are no regular ($U\in C_{loc}^{3,\alpha }({\mathbb{R}}^3\backslash 0)$) axisymmetric self-similar solutions provided that the external force is a large multiple of some scaling invariant axisymmetric F which cannot be driven by a potential. In the case of dimension 4, there always exists at least one self-similar solution to the stationary Navier–Stokes equations with any scaling invariant external force in $L^{4/3,\infty }({\mathbb{R}}^4)$.     

Positive effects of repulsion on boundedness in a fully parabolic attraction–repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source

In this paper we study the global boundedness of solutions to the fully parabolic attraction–repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source: $u_t=\mathrm{\Delta }u?\chi \mathrm{?}?(u\mathrm{?}v)+\xi \mathrm{?}?(u\mathrm{?}w)+f(u)$, $v_t=\mathrm{\Delta }v?\beta v+\alpha u$, $w_t=\mathrm{\Delta }w?\delta w+\gamma u$, subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^n$ ($n\ge 1$), where χ, α, ξ, γ, β and δ are positive constants, and $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth function generalizing the logistic source $f(s)=a?b{s}^{\theta }$ for all $s\ge 0$ with $a\ge 0$, $b>0$ and $\theta \ge 1$. It is shown that when the repulsion cancels the attraction (i.e. $\chi \alpha =\xi \gamma$), the solution is globally bounded if $n\le 3$, or $\theta >{\theta }_n:=\min ?\{\frac{n+2}{4},\frac{n\sqrt{n^2+6n+17}?n^2?3n+4}{4}\}$ with $n\ge 2$. Therefore, due to the inhibition of repulsion to the attraction, in any spatial dimension, the exponent θ is allowed to take values less than 2 such that the solution is uniformly bounded in time.     

The common fixed point of single-valued generalized φf-weakly contractive mappings

Fixed point and coincidence results are presented for single-valued generalized ${\phi }_f$-weakly contractive mappings on complete metric spaces $(X,d)$, where $\phi :[0,\infty )\to [0,\infty )$ is a lower semicontinuous function with $\phi \left(0\right)=0$ and $\phi \left(t\right)>0$ for all $t>0$ and $f:E\to X$ is a function such that $E?X$ is nonempty and closed. Our results extend previous results given by Rhoades (2001) [1] and by Zhang and Song (2009) [2].     

On the fixed point of (ψ−φ)-weak and generalized (ψ−φ)-weak contraction mappings

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space, and $T:X?X$ be a $(\psi ?\phi )$-weak or generalized $(\psi ?\phi )$-weak contraction mapping, where $\psi ,\phi :[0,+\infty )?[0,+\infty )$ are two mappings with ${\psi }^{?1}\left(0\right)={\phi }^{?1}\left(0\right)=0$, $\underset{n\to \infty }{lim}{t}_n=0$, if $\underset{n\to \infty }{lim}\phi \left(t_n\right)=0$ and $\psi$ is continuous or $\psi$ is monotone nondecreasing with $\phi \left(a\right)>\psi \left(a\right)?\psi (a?)$ for all $a>0$. Then $T$ has a unique fixed point. Our results extend the previous results given by Rhoades (2001) [3], Dutta and Choudhury (2008) [4], Doric (2009) [5] and Popescu (2011) [6].     

Generalized Brjuno functions associated to α-continued fractions

For $0\le \alpha \le 1$ given, we consider the one-parameter family of $\alpha$-continued fraction maps, which include the Gauss map ($\alpha =1$), the nearest integer ($\alpha =1/2$) and by-excess ($\alpha =0$) continued fraction maps. To each of these expansions and to each choice of a positive function $u$ on the interval ${\mathbb{I}}_{\alpha }$ we associate a generalized Brjuno function $B_{(\alpha ,u)}\left(x\right)$. When $\alpha =1/2$ or $\alpha =1$, and $u\left(x\right)=?log\left(x\right)$, these functions were introduced by Yoccoz in his work on linearization of holomorphic maps.We compare the functions obtained with different values of $\alpha$ and we prove that the set of $(\alpha ,u)$-Brjuno numbers does not depend on the choice of $\alpha$ provided that $\alpha \ne 0$. We then consider the case $\alpha =0$, $u\left(x\right)=?log\left(x\right)$ and we prove that $x$ is a Brjuno number (for $\alpha \ne 0$) if and only if both $x$ and $?x$ are Brjuno numbers for $\alpha =0$.     

Homogenization of a Dirichlet semilinear elliptic problem with a strong singularity at u = 0 in a domain with many small holes

In the present paper we perform the homogenization of the semilinear elliptic problem

$\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}^{\epsilon }\ge 0\hfill & \text{in}{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon },\hfill \\ ?divA(x)D{u}^{\epsilon }=F(x,u^{\epsilon })\hfill & \text{in}{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon },\hfill \\ u^{\epsilon }=0\hfill & \text{on}?{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }.\hfill \end{array}$

In this problem $F(x,s)$ is a Carathéodory function such that $0\le F(x,s)\le h(x)/\mathrm{\Gamma }(s)$ a.e. $x\in \mathrm{\Omega }$ for every $s>0$, with h in some $L^r(\mathrm{\Omega })$ and Γ a $C^1([0,+\infty [)$ function such that $\mathrm{\Gamma }(0)=0$ and ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}^{\prime }(s)>0$ for every $s>0$. On the other hand the open sets ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }$ are obtained by removing many small holes from a fixed open set Ω in such a way that a “strange term” $\mu u^0$ appears in the limit equation in the case where the function $F(x,s)$ depends only on x.We already treated this problem in the case of a “mild singularity”, namely in the case where the function $F(x,s)$ satisfies $0\le F(x,s)\le h(x)(\frac{1}{s}+1)$. In this case the solution $u^{\epsilon }$ to the problem belongs to $H_0^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ and its definition is a “natural” and rather usual one.In the general case where $F(x,s)$ exhibits a “strong singularity” at $u=0$, which is the purpose of the present paper, the solution $u^{\epsilon }$ to the problem only belongs to $H_{\text{loc}}^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ but in general does not belong to $H_0^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ anymore, even if $u^{\epsilon }$ vanishes on $?{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }$ in some sense. Therefore we introduced a new notion of solution (in the spirit of the solutions defined by transposition) for problems with a strong singularity. This definition allowed us to obtain existence, stability and uniqueness results.In the present paper, using this definition, we perform the homogenization of the above semilinear problem and we prove that in the homogenized problem, the “strange term” $\mu u^0$ still appears in the left-hand side while the source term $F(x,u^0)$ is not modified in the right-hand side.     

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.     

Existence and convexity of local solutions to degenerate Hessian equations

In this work, we prove the existence of convex solutions to the following k-Hessian equation

$S_k[u]=K(y)g(y,u,Du)$

in the neighborhood of a point $(y_0,u_0,p_0)\in {\mathbb{R}}^n\times \mathbb{R}\times {\mathbb{R}}^n$, where $g\in C^{\infty },g(y_0,u_0,p_0)>0$, $K\in C^{\infty }$ is nonnegative near $y_0$, $K(y_0)=0$ and $\text{Rank}(D_y^{2}K)(y_0)\ge n?k+1$.
