The pointwise estimates of solutions for semilinear dissipative wave equation in multi-dimensions

In this paper, we study the global-in-time existence and the pointwise estimates of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the dissipative wave equation in multi-dimensions. Using the fixed point theorem, we obtain the global existence of the solution. In addition, the pointwise estimates of the solution are obtained by the method of the Green function. Furthermore, we obtain the Lp, 1?p?∞, convergence rate of the solution.     

Global stability of a periodic Holling‐Tanner predator‐prey model

This paper is concerned with the global dynamics of a Holling‐Tanner predator‐prey model with periodic coefficients. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive solution and its global asymptotic stability. The stability conditions are first given in average form and afterward as pointwise estimates. In the autonomous case, the previous criteria lead to a known result.     

Pointwise structure of a radiation hydrodynamic model in one-dimension

In this paper, we study the nonlinear stability and the pointwise structure around a constant equilibrium for a radiation hydrodynamic model in 1-dimension, in which the behavior of the fluid is described by a full Euler equation with certain radiation effect. It is well-known that the classical solutions of the Euler equation in 1-D may blow up in finite time for general initial data. The global existence of the solution in this paper means that the radiation effect stabilizes the system and prevents the formation of singularity when the initial data is small. To study the precise effect of the radiation in this model, we also treat the pointwise estimates of the solution for the original nonlinear problem by combining the Green's function for the linearized radiation hydrodynamic equations with the Duhamel's principle. The result in this paper shows that the pointwise structure of this model is similar to that of full Navier-Stokes equations in 1-D.     

POINTWISE ESTIMATES OF SOLUTION FOR NON-ISENTROPIC NAVIER-STOKES-POISSON EQUATIONS IN MULTI-DIMENSIONS

Global classical solutions to a kind of quasilinear hyperbolic systems in several space variables

For a kind of quasilinear hyperbolic systems in several space variables whose coefficient matrices commute each other, by means of normalized coordinates, formulas of wave decomposition and pointwise decay estimates, the global existence of classical solution to the Cauchy problem for small and decaying initial data is obtained, under hypotheses of weak linear degeneracy and weakly strict hyperbolicity.     

Elliptic equations with diffusion parameterized by the range of nonlocal interactions

We consider quasilinear elliptic equations where the diffusion at each point depends on all the values of the solution in a neighborhood of this point. The size of this neighborhood is parameterized by some non-negative number which represents the range of nonlocal interactions. For fixed values of the parameter, the issue of the existence and local uniqueness of the solution is addressed. In a radial symmetric setting, we give pointwise estimates of the solutions and prove the existence of multiple solutions. Regarding bifurcation theory, we show that many local branches of solutions may exist while, among them, only one is global and has no bifurcation point.

The ignition problem for a scalar nonconvex combustion model

The ignition problem for the scalar Chapman-Jouguet combustion model without convexity is considered. Under the pointwise and global entropy conditions, we constructively obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution and show that the unburnt state is stable (unstable) when the binding energy is small (large), which is the desired property for a combustion model. The transitions between deflagration and detonation are shown, which do not appear in the convex case.     

A Primal-Dual Active Set Method for Bilaterally Control Constrained Optimal Control of the Navier–Stokes Equations

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the analysis and numerical solution of distributed optimal control of the Navier–Stokes equations in presence of bilateral pointwise control constraints. The analysis of the problem involves the proof of existence of an optimal solution, as well as the presentation of necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality. For the numerical solution of the problem we apply a primal-dual active set strategy and show global and local convergence properties of the method. Finally, some numerical experiments, which illustrate the performance of the method, are discussed.     

Semilinear behavior for totally linearly degenerate hyperbolic systems with relaxation

We investigate totally linearly degenerate hyperbolic systems with relaxation. We aim to study their semilinear behavior, which means that the local smooth solutions cannot develop shocks, and the global existence is controlled by the supremum bound of the solution. In this paper we study two specific examples: the Suliciu-type and the Kerr-Debye-type models. For the Suliciu model, which arises from the numerical approximation of isentropic flows, the semilinear behavior is obtained using pointwise estimates of the gradient. For the Kerr-Debye systems, which arise in nonlinear optics, we show the semilinear behavior via energy methods. For the original Kerr-Debye model, thanks to the special form of the interaction terms, we can show the global existence of smooth solutions.     

Well-posedness and dynamics for the fractional Ginzburg-Landau equation

This article studies the global well-posedness and long-time dynamics for the nonlinear complex Ginzburg–Landau equation involving fractional Laplacian. The global existence and some uniqueness criterion of weak solutions are given with compactness method. To study the strong solutions with the semigroup method, we generalize some pointwise estimates for the fractional Laplacian to the complex background and study carefully the linear evolution of the equation. Finally, the existence of global attractors is studied.     

Pointwise estimation of the difference of the solutions of a controlled functional operator equation in Lebesgue spaces

For a functional operator equation in Lebesgue space, we prove a statement on the pointwise estimate of the modulus of the increment of its global (on a fixed set Π ? ? ⁿ ) solution under the variation of the control function appearing in this equation. As an auxiliary statement, we prove a generalization of Gronwall’s lemma to the case of a nonlinear operator acting in Lebesgue space. The approach used here is based onmethods from the theory of stability of existence of global solutions to Volterra operator equations.     

Global error bound for convex inclusion problems

The existence of global error bound for convex inclusion problems is discussed in this paper, including pointwise global error bound and uniform global error bound. The existence of uniform global error bound has been carefully studied in Burke and Tseng (SIAM J. Optim. 6(2), 265–282, 1996) which unifies and extends many existing results. Our results on the uniform global error bound (see Theorem 3.2) generalize Theorem 9 in Burke and Tseng (1996) by weakening the constraint qualification and by widening the varying range of the parameter. As an application, the existence of global error bound for convex multifunctions is also discussed.     

Bounds for the fundamental solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations

It is shown that any elloptic or parabolic operator in nondivergence form with measurable coefficients has a global fundamental solution verifying certain pointwise bounds.     

Pointwise error estimates for a stabilized Galerkin method: non-selfadjoint problems

Highly localized pointwise error estimates for a stabilized Galerkin method are provided for second-order non-selfadjoint elliptic partial differential equations. The estimates show a local dependence of the error on the derivative of the solution u and weak dependence on the global norm. The results in this paper are an extension of the previous pointwise error estimates for the self-adjoint problems. In order to provide pointwise error estimates in the presence of the first-order term in the differential equations, we prove that the stabilized Galerkin solution is higher order perturbation to the Ritz projection of the true solutions. Then, we proceed to obtain pointwise estimates using the so-called discrete Green’s function. Application to error expansion inequalities and a posteriori error estimators are briefly discussed.     

Levitin–Polyak well-posedness in set optimization concerning Pareto efficiency

This article aims to elaborate on various notions of Levitin–Polyak well-posedness for set optimization problems concerning Pareto efficient solutions. These notions are categorized into two classes including pointwise and global Levitin–Polyak well-posedness. We give various characterizations of both pointwise and global Levitin–Polyak well-posedness notions for set optimization problems. The hierarchical structure of their relationships is also established. Under suitable conditions on the input data of set optimization problems, we investigate the closedness of Pareto efficient solution sets in which they are different from the weakly efficient ones. Furthermore, we provide sufficient conditions for global Levitin–Polyak well-posedness properties of the reference problems without imposing the information on efficient solution sets.

We study an optimal control problem of a system governed by a linear elliptic equation, with pointwise control constraints and pointwise and non-local (integral) state constraints. We construct a finite-difference approximation of the problem, we prove the existence and the convergence of the approximate solutions to the exact solution. We construct and study mesh saddle point problem and its iterative solution method and analyze the results of numerical experiments.     

Systems of partial differential equations of mixed hyperbolic-parabolic type

We prove the global existence and uniqueness of solutions of certain mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems of partial differential equations in one space dimension with initial data that is assumed to be pointwise bounded with possibly large oscillation and with small total energy. The systems we consider are general enough to include the Navier-Stokes equations of compressible flow, the equations of compressible MHD, models of chemical combustion, and others. In particular, the application of our results to the MHD system gives an existence result which is new.     

Optimal control of semilinear parabolic systems with state constraint

Localized pointwise error estimates for mixed finite element methods

In this paper we give weighted, or localized, pointwise error estimates which are valid for two different mixed finite element methods for a general second-order linear elliptic problem and for general choices of mixed elements for simplicial meshes. These estimates, similar in spirit to those recently proved by Schatz for the basic Galerkin finite element method for elliptic problems, show that the dependence of the pointwise errors in both the scalar and vector variables on the derivative of the solution is mostly local in character or conversely that the global dependence of the pointwise errors is weak. This localization is more pronounced for higher order elements. Our estimates indicate that localization occurs except when the lowest order Brezzi-Douglas-Marini elements are used, and we provide computational examples showing that the error is indeed not localized when these elements are employed.
