Global weak solutions to the Nordström-Vlasov system

The Nordström-Vlasov system is a Lorentz invariant model for a self-gravitating collisionless gas. We establish suitable a priori bounds on the solutions of this system, which together with energy estimates and the smoothing effect of “momentum averaging” yield the existence of global weak solutions to the corresponding initial value problem. In the process we improve the continuation criterion for classical solutions which was derived recently. The weak solutions are shown to preserve mass.     

Strong solutions for semilinear wave equations with damping and source terms

This article deals with local existence of strong solutions for semilinear wave equations with power-like interior damping and source terms. A long-standing restriction on the range of exponents for the two nonlinearities governs the literature on wellposedness of weak solutions of finite energy. We show that this restriction may be eliminated for the existence of higher regularity solutions by employing natural methods that use the physics of the problem. This approach applies to the Cauchy problem posed on the entire ? ⁿ as well as for initial boundary problems with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.     

Spatial behaviour of solutions of the three-phase-lag heat equation

In this paper we study the spatial behaviour of solutions for the three-phase-lag heat equation on a semi-infinite cylinder. The theory of three-phase-lag heat conduction leads to a hyperbolic partial differential equation with a fourth-order derivative with respect to time. First, we investigate the spatial evolution of solutions of an initial boundary-value problem with zero boundary conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder. Under a boundedness restriction on the initial data, an energy estimate is obtained. An upper bound for the amplitude term in this estimate in terms of the initial and boundary data is also established. For the case of zero initial conditions, a more explicit estimate is obtained which shows that solutions decay exponentially along certain spatial-time lines. A class of non-standard problems is also considered for which the temperature and its first two time derivatives at a fixed time T₀ are assumed proportional to their initial values. These results are relevant in the context of the Saint-Venant Principle for heat conduction problems.     

Blow-up result and energy decay rates for binary mixtures of solids with nonlinear damping and source terms

In this paper we study the long-time behavior of binary mixture problem of solids, focusing on the interplay between nonlinear damping and source terms. By employing nonlinear semigroups and the theory of monotone operators, we obtain several results on the existence of local and global weak solutions, and uniqueness of weak solutions. Moreover, we prove that every weak solution to our system blows up in finite time, provided the initial energy is negative and the sources are more dominant than the damping in the system. Additional results are obtained via careful analysis involving the Nehari Manifold. Specifically, we prove the existence of a unique global weak solution with initial data coming from the “good” part of the potential well. For such a global solution, we prove that the total energy of the system decays exponentially or algebraically, depending on the behavior of the dissipation in the system near the origin.     

Global weak solutions to the Novikov equation by viscous approximation

We study global weak solutions to the Novikov equation by vanishing viscosity method. We prove that global weak solutions can be obtained as weak limits of viscous approximations for a class of initial data. The proof relies on a space–time higher integrability estimate and the method of renormalization. In addition, we analyze the interaction of peakon and antipeakon and prove that wave breaking leads to energy concentration. By different continuations beyond the wave breaking, we obtain conservative solutions and dissipative solutions respectively.     

Global well-posedness for strongly damped viscoelastic wave equation

We study the initial boundary value problem for the nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with strong damping term and dispersive term. By introducing a family of potential wells we not only obtain the invariant sets, but also prove the existence and nonexistence of global weak solution under some conditions with low initial energy. Furthermore, we establish a blow-up result for certain solutions with arbitrary positive initial energy (high energy case)     

The Cauchy problem for the dissipative Boussinesq equation

This work is devoted to the solvability and finite time blow-up of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the dissipative Boussinesq equation in all space dimension. We prove the existence and uniqueness of local mild solutions in the phase space by means of the contraction mapping principle. By establishing the time-space estimates of the corresponding Green operators, we obtain the continuation principle. Under some restriction on the initial data, we further study the results on existence and uniqueness of global solutions and finite time blow-up of solutions with the initial energy at three different level. Moreover, the sufficient and necessary conditions of finite time blow-up of solutions are given.     

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system with singular potential

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system is a fundamental diffuse-interface model for an incompressible binary fluid confined in a Hele–Shaw cell. It consists of a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation in which the velocity u is subject to a Korteweg force through Darcy's equation. In this paper, we aim to investigate the system with a physically relevant potential (i.e., of logarithmic type). This choice ensures that the (relative) concentration difference φ takes values within the admissible range. To the best of our knowledge, essentially all the available contributions in the literature are concerned with a regular approximation of the singular potential. Here we first prove the existence of a global weak solution with finite energy that satisfies an energy dissipative property. Then, in dimension two, we further obtain the uniqueness and regularity of global weak solutions. In particular, we show that any two-dimensional weak solution satisfies the so-called strict separation property, namely, if φ is not a pure state at some initial time, then it stays instantaneously away from the pure states. When the spatial dimension is three, we prove the existence of a unique global strong solution, provided that the initial datum is regular enough and sufficiently close to any local minimizer of the free energy. This also yields the local Lyapunov stability of the local minimizer itself. Finally, we prove that under suitable assumptions any global solution converges to a single equilibrium as time goes to infinity.     

Spatial behaviour of solutions of the dual‐phase‐lag heat equation

In this paper we study the spatial behaviour of solutions of some problems for the dual‐phase‐lag heat equation on a semi‐infinite cylinder. The theory of dual‐phase‐lag heat conduction leads to a hyperbolic partial differential equation with a third derivative with respect to time. First, we investigate the spatial evolution of solutions of an initial boundary‐value problem with zero boundary conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder. Under a boundedness restriction on the initial data, an energy estimate is obtained. An upper bound for the amplitude term in this estimate in terms of the initial and boundary data is also established. For the case of zero initial conditions, a more explicit estimate is obtained which shows that solutions decay exponentially along certain spatial‐time lines. A class of non‐standard problems is also considered for which the temperature and its first two time derivatives at a fixed time T are assumed proportional to their initial values.

Well/Ill Posedness for the Euler-Korteweg-Poisson System and Related Problems

We consider a general Euler-Korteweg-Poisson system in R ³, supplemented with the space periodic boundary conditions, where the quantum hydrodynamics equations and the classical fluid dynamics equations with capillarity are recovered as particular examples. We show that the system admits infinitely many global-in-time weak solutions for any sufficiently smooth initial data including the case of a vanishing initial density - the vacuum zones. Moreover, there is a vast family of initial data, for which the Cauchy problem possesses infinitely many dissipative weak solutions, i.e. the weak solutions satisfying the energy inequality. Finally, we establish the weak-strong uniqueness property in a class of solutions without vacuum. In this paper we show that, even in presence of a dispersive tensor, we have the same phenomena found by De Lellis and Székelyhidi.

Applying the method of parabolic regularization, we prove the existence of weak solutions to the problem. By carefully analyzing the approximate solutions to the problem, we make a series of estimates to the solutions and prove the weak convergence of the approximation solution sequence. Finally we testify the existence of weak solutions to the problem.

On a nonlinear heat equation with viscoelastic term associated with Robin conditions

This paper is devoted to study of a nonlinear heat equation with a viscoelastic term associated with Robin conditions. At first, by the Faedo–Galerkin and the compactness method, we prove existence, uniqueness, and regularity of a weak solution. Next, we prove that any weak solution with negative initial energy will blow up in finite time. Finally, by the construction of a suitable Lyapunov functional, we give a sufficient condition to guarantee the global existence and exponential decay of weak solutions.     

Porous elastic system with nonlinear damping and sources terms

We study the long-time behavior of porous-elastic system, focusing on the interplay between nonlinear damping and source terms. The sources may represent restoring forces, but may also be focusing thus potentially amplifying the total energy which is the primary scenario of interest. By employing nonlinear semigroups and the theory of monotone operators, we obtain several results on the existence of local and global weak solutions, and uniqueness of weak solutions. Moreover, we prove that such unique solutions depend continuously on the initial data. Under some restrictions on the parameters, we also prove that every weak solution to our system blows up in finite time, provided the initial energy is negative and the sources are more dominant than the damping in the system. Additional results are obtained via careful analysis involving the Nehari Manifold. Specifically, we prove the existence of a unique global weak solution with initial data coming from the “good” part of the potential well. For such a global solution, we prove that the total energy of the system decays exponentially or algebraically, depending on the behavior of the dissipation in the system near the origin. We also prove the existence of a global attractor.     

Remarks on the qualitative behavior of the undamped Klein‐Gordon equation

We consider the undamped Klein‐Gordon equation in bounded domains with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. For any real value of the initial energy, particularly for supercritical values of the energy, we give sufficient conditions to conclude blow‐up in finite time of weak solutions. The success of the analysis is based on a detailed analysis of a differential inequality. Our results improve previous ones in the literature.     

On the Boltzmann equation for Fermi-Dirac particles with very soft potentials: Global existence of weak solutions

For general initial data we prove the global existence and weak stability of weak solutions of the Boltzmann equation for Fermi-Dirac particles in a periodic box for very soft potentials (−5<γ?−3) with a weak angular cutoff. In particular the Coulomb interaction (γ=−3) with the weak angular cutoff is included. The conservation of energy and moment estimates are also proven under a further angular cutoff. The proof is based on the entropy inequality, velocity averaging compactness of weak solutions, and various continuity properties of general Boltzmann collision integral operators.
