Sobolev type embedding and quasilinear elliptic equations with radial potentials

We study the existence of nontrivial radial solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with unbounded or decaying radial potentials. The existence results are based upon several new embedding theorems we establish in the paper for radially symmetric functions.     

On the singular set and the uniqueness of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

We study regularity properties of weak solutions of the eqns. of Navier-Stokes which are in L((O,T),Lⁿ()) or in LP((O,T),Lⁿ()) for some p2. We prove also that L((O,T), Lⁿ()) is a uniqueness class for weak solutions. Moreover we give a generalization of Serrin's uniqueness result.     

Sobolev weak solutions for parabolic PDEs and FBSDEs

This Note is devoted to the representation of Sobolev weak solutions to quasi-linear parabolic PDEs with monotone coefficients via FBSDEs. One distinctive character of this result is that the forward component of the FBSDE is coupled with the backward variable. To cite this article: F. Zhang, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Reverse bubbling of currents and harmonic heat flows with prescribed singular set

We consider the harmonic heat flow for maps u between B³, the unit ball of , and its boundary S². For a class of possibly singular initial and boundary data we show the existence of a weak solution whose singular set is a fixed discrete set on the vertical axis arbitrarily prescribed. Other examples including isolated singularities moving along a prescribed trajectory are given.Received: 23 October 2002, Accepted: 12 March 2003, Published online: 4 September 2003     

Strong solutions of SDES with singular drift and Sobolev diffusion coefficients

In this paper we prove the existence of a unique strong solution up to the explosion time for an SDE with a uniformly non-degenerate Sobolev diffusion coefficient (non-Lipschtiz) and locally integrable drift coefficient. Moreover, two non-explosion conditions are given.     

An embedding theorem of Sobolev type for an operator with singularity

We discuss spaces of Sobolev type which are defined by the operator with singularity: , where and . This operator appears in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator governed by Wigner's commutation relations. We study smoothness of and continuity of () where is in each space of Sobolev type, and obtain a generalization of the Sobolev embedding theorem. On the basis of a generalization of the Fourier transform, the proof is carried out. We apply the result to the Cauchy problems for partial differential equations with singular coefficients.

     

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.     

On interior points of a set of equations with singular periodic solutions

We present and exemplify a condition for the existence of singular periodic solutions to an equation of the Riccati type and all proximate equations.     

Very weak solutions to elliptic equations with singular convection term

We study Dirichlet problem for a nonlinear equation with a drift term. Despite the presence of the singular convection term, we establish existence and uniqueness of a solution in spaces larger than the natural one.     

Global weak solutions and asymptotics of a singular PDE-ODE Chemotaxis system with discontinuous data

This paper is concerned with the well-posedness and large-time behavior of a two-dimensional PDE-ODE hybrid chemotaxis system describing the initiation of tumor angiogenesis. We first transform the system via a Cole-Hopf type transformation into a parabolic-hyperbolic system and then show that the solution to the transformed system converges to a constant equilibrium state as time tends to infinity. Finally we reverse the Cole-Hopf transformation and obtain the relevant results for the pre-transformed PDE-ODE hybrid system.In contrast to the existing related results, where continuous initial data is imposed, we are able to prove the asymptotic stability for discontinuous initial data with large oscillations. The key ingredient in our proof is the use of the so-called "effective viscous flux", which enables us to obtain the desired energy estimates and regularity. The technique of the "effective viscous flux" turns out to be a very useful tool to study chemotaxis systems with initial data having low regularity and was rarely(if not) used in the literature for chemotaxis models.     

Existence of sign-changing solutions for semilinear singular elliptic equations with critical Sobolev exponents

We consider the semilinear elliptic problem in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where 0∈Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN, N?4, , is the critical Sobolev exponent, f(x,⋅) has subcritical growth at infinity, K(x)>0 is continuous. We prove the existence of sign-changing solutions under different assumptions when Ω is a usual domain and a symmetric domain, respectively.     

Existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for a singular semilinear elliptic equation

In this paper we study existence and multiplicity of weak solutions of the homogenous Dirichlet problem for a singular semilinear elliptic equation with a quadratic gradient term. The proofs for the main results are based on a priori estimates of solutions of approximate problems.     

Positive solutions for a class of singular quasilinear Schrödinger equations with critical Sobolev exponent

We prove the existence of positive solutions of the following singular quasilinear Schrödinger equations at critical growth

$?\mathrm{\Delta }u?\lambda c(x)u?\kappa \alpha (\mathrm{\Delta }(|u{|}^{2\alpha }))|u{|}^{2\alpha ?2}u=|u{|}^{q?2}u+|u{|}^{2^{?}?2}u,u\in D^{1,2}({\mathbb{R}}^N),$

via variational methods, where $\lambda \ge 0$, $c:{\mathbb{R}}^N\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$, $\kappa >0$, $0<\alpha <1/2$, $2<q<2^{?}$. It is interesting that we do not need to add a weight function to control $|u{|}^{q?2}u$.     

Periodic solutions of prescribed energy for a class of symmetric singular dynamical systems

Continuity of weak solutions to certain singular parabolic equations

Sunto Le equazioni paraboliche singolari (1.1)nella introduzione, si presentano come modelli di una classe generale di fenomeni di diffusione con cambio di fase. Le soluzioni deboli sono trovate in senso globale come classi di equivalenza in certi spazi di Sobolev. In questo lavoro si dimostra che le soluzioni deboli ammettono delle rappresentanti continue nell'interno del dominio di definizione. Si danno anche delle condizioni di continuità fino alla frontiera.
