Orbital stability of standing waves for semilinear wave equations with indefinite energy

The orbital stability of standing waves for semilinear wave equations is studied in the case that the energy is indefinite and the underlying space domain is bounded or a compact manifold or whole Rn with n?2. The stability is determined by the convexity on ω of the lowest energy d(ω) of standing waves with frequency ω. The arguments rely on the conservation of energy and charge and the construction of suitable invariant manifolds of solution flows.

Standing waves for a class of fractional p‐Laplacian equations with a general critical nonlinearity

In this paper, we concern with the following fractional p‐Laplacian equation with critical Sobolev exponent $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}{\epsilon }^{ps}{\left\{?\mathrm{\Delta }\right.}_p^{s}u+V(x){\left|u\right|}^{p?2}u=\lambda f(x){\left|u\right|}^{q?2}u+{\left|u\right|}^{p_s^{?}?2}u\text{in}{?}^N,\\ u\in W^{s,p}\left\{{?}^N\right.,u>0,\end{array}\right.$$ where ε > 0 is a small parameter,  λ > 0 , N is a positive integer, and N > ps with s ∈ (0, 1) fixed, $1<q\le p,p_s^{?}:=Np/\left(N?ps\right)$. Since the nonlinearity $h(x,u):=\lambda f(x){\left|u\right|}^{q?2}u+{\left|u\right|}^{p_s^{?}?2}u$ does not satisfy the following Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition: $$0<\mu H(x,u):=\mu {\int }_0^{u}h(x,t)dt\le h(x,u)u,x\in {?}^N,0\ne u\in ?,$$ with μ > p , it is difficult to obtain the boundedness of Palais‐Smale sequence, which is important to prove the existence of positive solutions. In order to overcome the above difficulty, we introduce a penalization method of fractional p‐Laplacian type.

This paper deals with the standing waves for a class of coupled nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with space dimension N ≥ 3, 0 〈 p, q 〈 2/N-2 and p ＋ q 〈 4/N. By using the variational calculus and scaling argument, we establish the existence of standing waves with ground state, discuss the behavior of standing waves as a function of the frequency ω and give the sufficient conditions of the stability of the standing waves with the least energy for the equations under study.     

On the stability of solitary-wave solutions of model equations for long waves

Summary After a review of the existing state of affairs, an improvement is made in the stability theory for solitary-wave solutions of evolution equations of Korteweg-de Vries-type modelling the propagation of small-amplitude long waves. It is shown that the bulk of the solution emerging from initial data that is a small perturbation of an exact solitary wave travels at a speed close to that of the unperturbed solitary wave. This not unexpected result lends credibility to the presumption that the solution emanating from a perturbed solitary wave consists mainly of a nearby solitary wave. The result makes use of the existing stability theory together with certain small refinements, coupled with a new expression for the speed of propagation of the disturbance. The idea behind our result is also shown to be effective in the context of one-dimensional regularized long-wave equations and multidimensional nonlinear Schr?dinger equations.     

Interaction of elementary waves for equations of potential flow

Interaction of elementary waves for equations of unsteady potential flow in gas dynamics is considered. Under the assumptions on weakness of strength of the elementary waves the structure of solutions has been given in various cases of interaction of simple wave with shock, or interaction between simple waves or shocks. Hence the complete results on interaction of weak elementary waves for second-order equation of potential flow are obtained.

Regularity of harmonic maps with the potential

The aim of this work is to prove the partial regularity of the harmonic maps with potential. The main difficulty caused by the potential is how to find the equation satisfied by the scaling function. Under the assumption on the potential we can obtain the equation, however, for a general potential, even if it is smooth, the partial regularity is still open.

On Stability of Pseudo-Conformal Blowup for L 2-critical Hartree NLS

We consider L ²-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Hartree type nonlinearity $i \partial_{t} u = - \Delta u - \left(\Phi \ast |u|^2 \right) u \quad {\rm in}\, \mathbb {R}^4,$ where Φ(x) is a perturbation of the convolution kernel |x|^?2. Despite the lack of pseudo-conformal invariance for this equation, we prove the existence of critical mass finite-time blowup solutions u(t, x) that exhibit the pseudo-conformal blowup rate $\| \nabla u(t) \|_{L^2_x}\sim \frac{1}{|t|} \quad {\rm as}\, t \nearrow 0.$ Furthermore, we prove the finite-codimensional stability of this conformal blow up, by extending the nonlinear wave operator construction by Bourgain and Wang (see Bourgain and Wang in Ann. Scuola Norm Sup Pisa Cl Sci (4) 25(1–2), 197–215, 1997/1998) to L ²-critical Hartree NLS.     

Existence and stability of standing waves for nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations with Hartree type nonlinearity

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations with Hartree type nonlinearity. We obtain the existence of standing waves by studying the related constrained minimization problems via applying the concentration-compactness principle. By symmetric decreasing rearrangements, we also show that the standing waves, up to translations and phases, are positive symmetric nonincreasing functions. Moreover, we prove that the set of minimizers is a stable set for the initial value problem of the equations, that is, a solution whose initial data is near the set will remain near it for all time.

Stable blow-up dynamics in the -critical and -supercritical generalized Hartree equation

We study stable blow-up dynamics in the generalized Hartree equation with radial symmetry, which is a Schrödinger-type equation with a nonlocal, convolution-type nonlinearity: First, we consider the -critical case in dimensions and obtain that a generic blow-up has a self-similar structure and exhibits not only the square root blowup rate , but also the log-log correction (via asymptotic analysis and functional fitting), thus, behaving similarly to the stable blow-up regime in the -critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this setting, we also study blow-up profiles and show that generic blow-up solutions converge to the rescaled , a ground state solution of the elliptic equation . We also consider the -supercritical case in dimensions . We derive the profile equation for the self-similar blow-up and establish the existence and local uniqueness of its solutions. As in the NLS -supercritical regime, the profile equation exhibits branches of nonoscillating, polynomially decaying (multi-bump) solutions. A numerical scheme of putting constraints into solving the corresponding ordinary differential equation is applied during the process of finding the multi-bump solutions. Direct numerical simulation of solutions to the generalized Hartree equation by the dynamic rescaling method indicates that the is the profile for the stable blow-up. In this supercritical case, we obtain the blow-up rate without any correction. This blow-up happens at the focusing level , and thus, numerically observable (unlike the -critical case). In summary, we find that the results are similar to the behavior of stable self-similar blowup solutions in the corresponding settings for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Consequently, one may expect that the form of the nonlinearity in the Schrödinger-type equations is not essential in the stable formation of singularities.
