Existence of global bounded weak solutions to nonsymmetric systems of Keyfitz-Kranzer type

In this paper, we study the global L^∞ solutions for the Cauchy problem of nonsymmetric system (1.1) of Keyfitz-Kranzer type. When n=1, (1.1) is the Aw-Rascle traffic flow model. First, we introduce a new flux approximation to obtain a lower bound ρε,δ?δ>0 for the parabolic system generated by adding “artificial viscosity” to the Aw-Rascle system. Then using the compensated compactness method with the help of L¹ estimate of wε,δx(⋅,t) we prove the pointwise convergence of the viscosity solutions under the general conditions on the function P(ρ), which includes prototype function , where γ∈(−1,0)∪(0,∞), A is a constant. Second, by means of BV estimates on the Riemann invariants and the compensated compactness method, we prove the global existence of bounded entropy weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of general nonsymmetric systems (1.1).     

On global small amplitude solutions to systems of cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with different mass terms in one space dimension

We consider the Cauchy problem for systems of cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with different mass terms in one space dimension. We prove some result concerning the global existence of small amplitude solutions and their asymptotic behavior. As a consequence, we see that the condition for small data global existence is actually influenced by the difference of masses in some cases.     

Existence and uniqueness of global classical solutions to 3D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general initial data

In this paper we study the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for 3D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general initial data which could contain vacuum.We give the relation between the viscosity coefficients and the initial energy,which implies that the Cauchy problem under consideration has a global classical solution.     

Existence of global weak solutions for Navier-Stokes equations with large flux

Global existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in a cylindrical domain under boundary slip conditions and with inflow and outflow is proved. To prove the energy estimate, crucial for the proof, we use the Hopf function. This makes it possible to derive an estimate such that the inflow and outflow need not vanish as t→∞. The proof requires estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces for solutions to the Poisson equation. Our result is the first step towards proving the existence of global regular special solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with inflow and outflow.

Full-size image

; the spatial dimension is greater than one. As in the one-dimensional case, such solutions exist for discrete values of the asymptotic wave number (or equivalently, the frequency of oscillation of the entire solution). For target patterns, we construct solutions for a sequence of frequencies. For spirals, we construct only the “lowest mode” solution.     

Existence of global bounded weak solutions to a symmetric system of Keyfitz-Kranzer type

In this paper, we use the compensated compactness method with BV estimates on the Riemann invariants to obtain the global existence of bounded entropy weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of a symmetric system of Keyfitz-Kranzer type.     

Existence of global weak solutions to 2D reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model

We study the global existence of weak solutions to a reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model appearing in oceanic fluid dynamics in two-dimensional torus. Based on Faedo–Galerkin method and weak convergence method, we construct the global weak solutions which are renormalized in velocity variable, where the technique of renormalized solutions was introduced by Lacroix-Violet and Vasseur (2018). Besides, we prove that the renormalized solutions are weak solutions, which satisfy the basic energy inequality and Bresch–Desjardins entropy inequality, but not the Mellet–Vasseur type inequality. In the proof, we use the reduced gravity two-and-a-half layer model with drag forces and capillary term as approximate system. It should be pointed out that only when the capillary term vanishes, we prove the existence of renormalized solution to the approximation system, which is different from Lacroix-Violet and Vasseur (2018) with the quantum potential.     

Global existence of weak discontinuous solutions to the Cauchy problem with small BV initial data for quasilinear hyperbolic systems

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for quasilinear hyperbolic system with a kind of non‐smooth initial data. Under the assumption that the initial data possess a suitably small bounded variation norm, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of global weak discontinuous solution.

Existence and uniqueness of the global conservative weak solutions to the rotation-Camassa–Holm equation

We study herein the Camassa–Holm-type equation, which can be considered as a model in the shallow water for the long-crested waves propagating near the equator with effect of the Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation. This quasi-linear equation is nonlocal with higher-order nonlinearities compared to the classical Camassa–Holm equation. We establish the global existence and uniqueness of the energy conservative weak solutions in the energy space $H^1$ to this model equation.     

Formation of singularities for certain hyperbolic systems in one space dimension

We study the development of singularities of classical solutions of quasilinear strictly hyperbolic systems in one space dimension. The systems are supposed to be in the diagonal form, but we do not impose restrictions on the size of the initial data and, in some cases, we can replace the genuine nonlinearity by weaker conditions.     

Existence,uniqueness and stability of weak solutions of parabolic systems with discontinuous nonlinearities
