Asymptotics for Large Time of Global Solutions to the Generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation

We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP where † = 1 or † = m 1. When „ = 2 and † = m 1, (KP) is known as the KPI equation, while „ = 2, † = + 1 corresponds to the KPII equation. The KP equation models the propagation along the x-axis of nonlinear dispersive long waves on the surface of a fluid, when the variation along the y-axis proceeds slowly [10]. The case „ = 3, † = m 1 has been found in the modeling of sound waves in antiferromagnetics [15]. We prove that if „ S 3 is an integer and the initial data are sufficiently small, then the solution u of (KP) satisfies the following estimates: ||u(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 (log(2+|t|))^k, ||u_x(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 \|u(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} (\log (2+|t|))^{\kappa}, \|u_x(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} for all t ] R, where s = 1 if „ = 3 and s = 0 if „ S 4. We also find the large time asymptotics for the solution.     

Boundary Concentration for Eigenvalue Problems Related to the Onset of Superconductivity

We examine the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue w(h) and corresponding eigenfunction associated with the variational problem m(h) o inf_{y ? H¹(W;C )} \fracò_W \abs(i?+hA)y² dx dy ò_W\absy² dx dy \mu(h)\equiv\inf_{\psi\in H^{1}(\Omega;{\bf C} )} \frac{\int_{\Omega } \abs{(i\nabla+h{\bf A})\psi}^{2}\,dx\,dy} {\int_{\Omega }\abs{\psi}^{2}\,dx\,dy} in the regime h>>1. Here A is any vector field with curl equal to 1. The problem arises within the Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity with the function w(h) yielding the relationship between the critical temperature vs. applied magnetic field strength in the transition from normal to superconducting state in a thin mesoscopic sample with cross-section W ì \R²\Omega\subset\R^{2}. We first carry out a rigorous analysis of the associated problem on a half-plane and then rigorously justify some of the formal arguments of [BS], obtaining an expansion for w while also proving that the first eigenfunction decays to zero somewhere along the sample boundary ?W\partial \Omega when z is not a disc. For interior decay, we demonstrate that the rate is exponential.

Single-Point Gradient Blow-up on the Boundary for Diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi Equations in Planar Domains

Consider the diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi equation u _t = Δu + |?u| ^p , p > 2, on a bounded domain Ω with zero-Dirichlet boundary conditions, which arises in the KPZ model of growing interfaces. It is known that u remains bounded and that ?u may blow up only on the boundary ?Ω.

It is known that u remains bounded and that ∇u may blow up only on the boundary ∂Ω. In this paper, under suitable assumptions on W ì \mathbbR²{\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2} and on the initial data, we show that the gradient blow-up singularity occurs only at a single point x₀ ? ?W{x_0\in\partial\Omega}. This is the first result of this kind in the study of problems involving gradient blow-up phenomena. In general domains of \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^n}, we also obtain results on nondegeneracy and localization of blow-up points.

Global Solutions to the 3-D Incompressible Anisotropic Navier-Stokes System in the Critical Spaces

In this paper, we consider the global wellposedness of the 3-D incompressible anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations with initial data in the critical Besov-Sobolev type spaces B{\mathcal{B}} and B^{-\frac12,\frac12}₄{\mathcal{B}^{-\frac12,\frac12}_4} (see Definitions 1.1 and 1.2 below). In particular, we proved that there exists a positive constant C such that (ANS _ν ) has a unique global solution with initial data u₀ = (u₀^h, u₀³){u_0 = (u_0^h, u_0^3)} which satisfies ||u₀^h||_B exp(\fracCn⁴ ||u₀³||_B⁴) ￡ c₀n{\|u_0^h\|_{\mathcal{B}} \exp\bigl(\frac{C}{\nu^4} \|u_0^3\|_{\mathcal{B}}^4\bigr) \leq c_0\nu} or ||u₀^h||_{B^{-\frac12,\frac12}4} exp(\fracCn⁴ ||u₀³||_{B^{-\frac12,\frac12}4}⁴) ￡ c₀n{\|u_0^h\|_{\mathcal{B}^{-\frac12,\frac12}_{4}} \exp \bigl(\frac{C}{\nu^4} \|u_0^3\|_{\mathcal{B}^{-\frac12,\frac12}_{4}}^4\bigr)\leq c_0\nu} for some c ₀ sufficiently small. To overcome the difficulty that Gronwall’s inequality can not be applied in the framework of Chemin-Lerner type spaces, [(L^p_t)\tilde](B){\widetilde{L^p_t}(\mathcal{B})}, we introduced here sort of weighted Chemin-Lerner type spaces, [(L²_{t, f})\tilde](B){\widetilde{L^2_{t, f}}(\mathcal{B})} for some apropriate L ¹ function f(t).     

Low Temperature Properties for Correlation Functions in Classical N-Vector Spin Models

We obtain convergent multi-scale expansions for the one-and two-point correlation functions of the low temperature lattice classical N - vector spin model in d S 3 dimensions, N S 2. The Gibbs factor is taken as exp[-b(1/2 ||?f||² +l/8 || |f|² - 1 ||² + v/2||f- h||²)], \exp [-\beta (1/2 ||\partial \phi||^2 +\lambda/8 ||\, |\phi|^2 - 1 ||^2 + v/2||\phi - h||^2)], where f(x), h ? R^N\phi(x), h \in R^N, x ? Z^dx \in Z^d, |h|=1, b < ￥|h|=1, \beta < \infty, l 3 ￥\lambda \geq \infty are large and 0 < v h 1. In the thermodynamic and v ˉ 0v \downarrow 0 limits, with h = e₁, and j L ‘^½ ‘, the expansion gives áf₁(x)? = 1+0(1/b^1/2)\langle \phi_1(x)\rangle = 1+0(1/\beta^{1/2}) (spontaneous magnetization), áf₁(x)f_i(y)? = 0\langle \phi_1(x)\phi_i(y)\rangle=0, áf_i (x)f_i (y)? = c₀ D^-1(x,y)+R(x,y)\langle \phi_i (x)\phi_i (y)\rangle = c_0 \Delta^{-1}(x,y)+R(x,y) (Goldstone Bosons), i = 2, 3, ?, Ni= 2, 3,\,\ldots, N, and áf₁(x)f₁(y)?^T=R￠(x,y)\langle \phi_1(x)\phi_1(y)\rangle^T=R'(x,y), where |R(x,y)||R(x,y)|, |R￠(x,y)| < 0(1)(1+|x-y|)^d-2+r|R'(x,y)|< 0(1)(1+|x-y|)^{d-2+\rho} for some „ > 0, and c₀ is aprecisely determined constant.

Critical Rotational Speeds in the Gross-Pitaevskii Theory on a Disc with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

We study the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii theory of a rotating Bose gas in a disc-shaped trap with Dirichlet boundary conditions, generalizing and extending previous results that were obtained under Neumann boundary conditions. The focus is on the energy asymptotics, vorticity and qualitative properties of the minimizers in the parameter range |log ε|≪Ω≲ε ⁻²|log ε|⁻¹ where Ω is the rotational velocity and the coupling parameter is written as ε ⁻² with ε≪1. Three critical speeds can be identified. At \varOmega = \varOmega_c1 ~ |loge|\varOmega=\varOmega_{\mathrm{c_{1}}}\sim |\log\varepsilon| vortices start to appear and for |loge| << \varOmega < \varOmega_c2 ~ e^-1|\log\varepsilon|\ll\varOmega< \varOmega_{\mathrm{c_{2}}}\sim \varepsilon^{-1} the vorticity is uniformly distributed over the disc. For \varOmega 3 \varOmega _c2\varOmega\geq\varOmega _{\mathrm{c_{2}}} the centrifugal forces create a hole around the center with strongly depleted density. For Ω≪ε ⁻²|log ε|⁻¹ vorticity is still uniformly distributed in an annulus containing the bulk of the density, but at \varOmega = \varOmega_c3 ~ e^-2|loge|^-1\varOmega=\varOmega_{\mathrm {c_{3}}}\sim\varepsilon ^{-2}|\log\varepsilon |^{-1} there is a transition to a giant vortex state where the vorticity disappears from the bulk. The energy is then well approximated by a trial function that is an eigenfunction of angular momentum but one of our results is that the true minimizers break rotational symmetry in the whole parameter range, including the giant vortex phase.     

Periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and invariant measures

In this paper we continue some investigations on the periodic NLSEiu _u +iu _xx +u|u| ^p-2 (p6) started in [LRS]. We prove that the equation is globally wellposed for a set of data of full normalized Gibbs measrue (after suitableL ²-truncation). The set and the measure are invariant under the flow. The proof of a similar result for the KdV and modified KdV equations is outlined. The main ingredients used are some estimates from [B1] on periodic NLS and KdV type equations.     

Quenching of the E1 strength in <Superscript>149</Superscript>Nd

Lifetime measurements of excited states in ¹⁴⁹Nd have been performed using the advanced time-delayed b \beta g \gamma g \gamma(t) method. Half-lives of 14 excited states in ¹⁴⁹Nd have been determined for the first time or measured with higher precision. Twelve new g \gamma -lines and 5 new levels have been introduced into the decay scheme of ¹⁴⁹Pr based on results of the g \gamma g \gamma coincidence measurements. Reduced transition probabilities have been determined for 40 g \gamma -transitions in ¹⁴⁹Nd . Configuration assignments for 6 rotational bands in ¹⁴⁹Nd are proposed. Enhanced E1 transitions indicate that the ground-state band and the band built on the 332.9keV level constitute a pair of the K^p = 5/2^±\ensuremath K^{\pi} = 5/2^{\pm} parity doublet bands. Potential energy surfaces on the (b₂,b₃)\ensuremath (\beta_{2},\beta_{3}) -plane have been calculated for the lowest single quasi-particle configurations in ¹⁴⁹Nd using the Strutinski method and the axially deformed Woods-Saxon potential. The predicted occurrence of the octupole-deformed K = 5/2 configuration is in agreement with experiment. Unexpectedly low |D₀|\ensuremath \vert D_0\vert values obtained for the K^p = 5/2^±\ensuremath K^{\pi} = 5/2^{\pm} parity doublet bands may result from cancellation between the proton and neutron shell correction contributions to |D₀|\ensuremath \vert D_0\vert .     

N-Vortex Equilibria for Ideal Fluids in Bounded Planar Domains and New Nodal Solutions of the sinh-Poisson and the Lane-Emden-Fowler Equations

We prove the existence of equilibria of the N-vortex Hamiltonian in a bounded domain ${\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2}We prove the existence of equilibria of the N-vortex Hamiltonian in a bounded domain W ì \mathbbR²{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2} , which is not necessarily simply connected. On an arbitrary bounded domain we obtain new equilibria for N = 3 or N = 4. If Ω has an axial symmetry we obtain a symmetric equilibrium for each N ? \mathbbN{N\in\mathbb{N}} . We also obtain new stream functions solving the sinh-Poisson equation -Dy = rsinhy{-\Delta\psi=\rho\sinh\psi} in Ω with Dirichlet boundary conditions for ρ > 0 small. The stream function y_r{\psi_\rho} induces a stationary velocity field v_r{v_\rho} solving the Euler equation in Ω. On an arbitrary bounded domain we obtain velocitiy fields having three or four counter-rotating vortices. If Ω has an axial symmetry we obtain for each N a velocity field v_r{v_\rho} that has a chain of N counter-rotating vortices, analogous to the Mallier-Maslowe row of counter-rotating vortices in the plane. Our methods also yield new nodal solutions for other semilinear Dirichlet problems, in particular for the Lane-Emden-Fowler equation -Du=|u|^p-1u{-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u} in Ω with p large.     

The Dynamics of the 3D Radial NLS with the Combined Terms

In this paper, we show the scattering and blow-up result of the radial solution with the energy below the threshold for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with the combined terms $$iu_{t} + \Delta{u} = -|u|^{4}u + |u|^{2}u \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad {\rm (CNLS)}$$ in the energy space ${{H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3})}}$ . The threshold is given by the ground state W for the energy-critical NLS: iu _t +  Δu =  ?|u|⁴ u. This problem was proposed by Tao, Visan and Zhang in (Comm PDEs 32:1281–1343, 2007). The main difficulty is lack of the scaling invariance. Illuminated by (Ibrahim et al., in Analysis & PDE 4(3):405–460, 2011), we need to give the new radial profile decomposition with the scaling parameter, then apply it to the scattering theory. Our result shows that the defocusing, ${{\dot{H}^{1}}}$ -subcritical perturbation |u|² u does not affect the determination of the threshold of the scattering solution of (CNLS) in the energy space.     

Production of the P-wave excited Bc-states through the Z0 boson decays

In Deng et al. (Eur. Phys. J. C 70:113, 2010), we have dealt with the production of the two color-singlet S-wave (c[`(b)])(c\bar{b})-quarkonium states B<sub>c</sub>(|(c[`(b)])₁[¹S₀]?)B_{c}(|(c\bar {b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{1}S_{0}]\rangle) and B^*_c(|(c[`(b)])<sub>1</sub>[<sup>3</sup>S<sub>1</sub>]?)B^{*}_{c}(|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{3}S_{1}]\rangle) through the Z <sup>0</sup> boson decays. As an important sequential work, we make a further discussion on the production of the more complicated P-wave excited (c[`(b)])(c\bar{b})-quarkonium states, i.e. |(c[`(b)])<sub>1</sub>[<sup>1</sup>P<sub>1</sub>]?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{1}P_{1}]\rangle and |(c[`(b)])₁[³P_J]?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{3}P_{J}]\rangle (with J=(1,2,3)). More over, we also calculate the channel with the two color-octet quarkonium states |(c[`(b)])<sub>8</sub>[<sup>1</sup>S<sub>0</sub>]g?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{8}}[^{1}S_{0}]g\rangle and |(c[`(b)])₈[³S₁]g?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{8}}[^{3}S_{1}]g\rangle, whose contributions to the decay width maybe at the same order of magnitude as that of the color-singlet P-wave states according to the naive nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics scaling rules. The P-wave states shall provide sizable contributions to the B _c production, whose decay width is about 20% of the total decay width \varGamma _{Z⁰? Bc}\varGamma _{Z^{0}\to B_{c}}. After summing up all the mentioned (c[`(b)])(c\bar {b})-quarkonium states’ contributions, we obtain \varGamma _{Z⁰? Bc}=235.9^+352.8_-122.0\varGamma _{Z^{0}\to B_{c}}=235.9^{+352.8}_{-122.0} KeV, where the errors are caused by the main sources of uncertainty.     

Magnetocaloric properties of as-quenched Ni50.4Mn34.9In14.7 ferromagnetic shape memory alloy ribbons

The temperature dependences of magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity have been calculated for a maximum field change of Δ H=30 kOe in as-quenched ribbons of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni_50.4Mn_34.9In_14.7 around the structural reverse martensitic transformation and magnetic transition of austenite. The ribbons crystallize into a single-phase austenite with the L2₁-type crystal structure and Curie point of 284 K. At 262 K austenite starts its transformation into a 10-layered structurally modulated monoclinic martensite. The first- and second-order character of the structural and magnetic transitions was confirmed by the Arrott plot method. Despite the superior absolute value of the maximum magnetic entropy change obtained in the temperature interval where the reverse martensitic transformation occurs (|\varDelta S_M^max|=7.2 J kg^-1 K^-1)(|\varDelta S_{\mathrm{M}}^{\max}|=7.2\mbox{ J}\,\mbox{kg}^{-1}\,\mbox{K}^{-1}) with respect to that obtained around the ferromagnetic transition of austenite (|\varDelta S_M^max|=2.6 J kg^-1 K^-1)(|\varDelta S_{\mathrm{M}}^{\max}|=2.6\mbox{ J}\,\mbox{kg}^{-1}\,\mbox{K}^{-1}), the large average hysteretic losses due to the effect of the magnetic field on the phase transformation as well as the narrow thermal dependence of the magnetic entropy change make the temperature interval around the ferromagnetic transition of austenite of a higher effective refrigerant capacity (RC^magn_eff=95J kg^-1\mathrm{RC}^{\mathrm{magn}}_{\mathrm{eff}}=95\mbox{J}\,\mbox{kg}^{-1} versus RC^struct_eff=60J kg^-1)\mathrm{RC}^{\mathrm{struct}}_{\mathrm{eff}}=60\mbox{J}\,\mbox{kg}^{-1}).     

Entangled Husimi Distribution and Complex Wavelet Transformation

Similar in spirit to the preceding work (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 48:1539, 2009) where the relationship between wavelet transformation and Husimi distribution function is revealed, we study this kind of relationship to the entangled case. We find that the optical complex wavelet transformation can be used to study the entangled Husimi distribution function in phase space theory of quantum optics. We prove that, up to a Gaussian function, the entangled Husimi distribution function of a two-mode quantum state |ψ〉 is just the modulus square of the complex wavelet transform of e^-|h|2/2e^{-\vert \eta \vert ^{2}/2} with ψ(η) being the mother wavelet.     

Fractal wavelet dimensions and localization

In this paper we want to give a new definition of fractal dimensions as small scale behavior of theq-energy of wavelet transforms. This is a generalization of previous multi-fractal approaches. With this particular definition we will show that the 2-dimension (=correlation dimension) of the spectral measure determines the long time behavior of the time evolution generated by a bounded self-adjoint operator acting in some Hilbert space ?. It will be proved that for φ, ψ∈? we have $$\mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{T \to \infty } \frac{{\log \int_0^T {d\omega \left| {\left\langle {\psi \left| {e^{ - iA\omega } } \right.\phi } \right\rangle } \right|^2 } }}{{\log T}} = - \kappa ^ + (2)$$ and that $$\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{T \to \infty } \frac{{\log \int_0^T {d\omega \left| {\left\langle {\psi \left| {e^{ - iA\omega } } \right.\phi } \right\rangle } \right|^2 } }}{{\log T}} = - \kappa ^ - (2),$$ wherek ^±(2) are the upper and lower correlation dimensions of the spectral measure associated with ψ and ?. A quantitative version of the RAGE theorem shall also be given.
