Blow-up phenomena for a family of Burgers-like equations

By introducing a stress multiplier we derive a family of Burgers-like equations. We investigate the blow-up phenomena of the equations both on the real line R and on the circle S to get a comparison with the Degasperis-Procesi equation. On the line R, we first establish the local well-posedness and the blow-up scenario. Then we use conservation laws of the equations to get the estimate for the L^∞-norm of the strong solutions, by which we prove that the solutions to the equations may blow up in the form of wave breaking for certain initial profiles. Analogous results are provided in the periodic case. Especially, we find differences between the Burgers-like equations and the Degasperis-Procesi equation, see Remark 4.1.     

Blow-up solutions of cubic differential systems

We investigate the existence problem for blow-up solutions of cubic differential systems. We find sets of initial values of the blow-up solutions. We also discuss a method of finding upper estimates for the blow-up time of these solutions. Our approach can be applied to systems of partial differential equations. We apply this approach to the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for systems of semilinear heat equations with cubic nonlinearities.     

Elliptic Reflection Spaces

This paper considers the Jensen type cubic fuzzy set-valued functional equation and the n-dimensional cubic fuzzy set-valued functional equation. We establish the Hyers–Ulam stability of these two types of cubic fuzzy set-valued functional equations by using the fixed point method. Our results can be regarded as two extensions of stability results corresponding to single-valued functional equations and set-valued functional equations, respectively.     

Explosion et normes Lp pour l'équation des ondes nonlinéaire cubiqueBlow-up and Lp norms for the cubic nonlinear wave equation

We find blow-up solutions of nonlinear wave equations with cubic nonlinearity, in any number of space dimensions, and study the asymptotic behavior of their L^p norms and “energy”. The L^p norm blows up if the blow-up surface has an interior non-degenerate minimum and p?n/2. For less smooth right-hand sides, and 0<ε<1, we give examples for which the L^p norm blows up if p?n/(1+ε); their Cauchy data are unbounded, but blow-up is not instantaneous. Applications to nonlinear optics are briefly outlined. To cite this article: G. Cabart, S. Kichenassamy, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 335 (2002) 903–908.     

The Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa–Holm equation with the velocity potential

In this paper, we discuss a generalized Camassa–Holm equation whose solutions are velocity potentials of the classical Camassa–Holm equation. By exploiting the connection between these two equations, we first establish the local well-posedness of the new equation in the Besov spaces and deduce several blow-up criteria and blow-up results. Then, we investigate the existence of global strong solutions and present a class of cuspon weak solutions for the new equation.     

Local solvability and solution blow-up of one-dimensional equations of the Yajima–Oikawa–Satsuma type

We consider one-dimensional equations of the type of the Yajima–Oikawa–Satsuma ion acoustic wave equation and prove the local solvability. Using the test function method, we obtain sufficient conditions for solution blow-up and estimate the blow-up time.     

Global well-posedness of the velocity–vorticity-Voigt model of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations

The velocity–vorticity formulation of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations was recently found to give excellent numerical results for flows with strong rotation. In this work, we propose a new regularization of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations, which we call the 3D velocity–vorticity-Voigt (VVV) model, with a Voigt regularization term added to momentum equation in velocity–vorticity form, but with no regularizing term in the vorticity equation. We prove global well-posedness and regularity of this model under periodic boundary conditions. We prove convergence of the model's velocity and vorticity to their counterparts in the 3D Navier–Stokes equations as the Voigt modeling parameter tends to zero. We prove that the curl of the model's velocity converges to the model vorticity (which is solved for directly), as the Voigt modeling parameter tends to zero. Finally, we provide a criterion for finite-time blow-up of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations based on this inviscid regularization.     

Multi-scale analysis of SPDEs with degenerate additive noise

We consider a quite general class of stochastic partial differential equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and derive rigorously amplitude equations, using the natural separation of time-scales near a change of stability. We show that degenerate additive noise has the potential to stabilize or destabilize the dynamics of the dominant modes, due to additional deterministic terms arising in averaging. We focus on equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and give applications to the Burgers’ equation, the Ginzburg–Landau equation, and generalized Swift–Hohenberg equation.     

Blow-up phenomena and local well-posedness for a generalized Camassa–Holm equation in the critical Besov space

In this paper we mainly study the Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa–Holm equation in a critical Besov space. First, by using the Littlewood–Paley decomposition, transport equations theory, logarithmic interpolation inequalities and Osgood’s lemma, we establish the local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the equation in the critical Besov space $$B^{\frac{1}{2}}_{2,1}$$. Next we derive a new blow-up criterion for strong solutions to the equation. Then we give a global existence result for strong solutions to the equation. Finally, we present two new blow-up results and the exact blow-up rate for strong solutions to the equation by making use of the conservation law and the obtained blow-up criterion.     

Blow-up phenomena for a system of semilinear heat equations with nonlinear boundary flux

This paper deals with the blow-up for a system of semilinear r-Laplace heat equations with nonlinear boundary flux. It is shown that, under certain conditions on the nonlinearities and data, blow-up will occur at some finite time, and when blow-up does occur upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time are obtained.     

Evolutions of the momentum density,deformation tensor and the nonlocal term of the Camassa–Holm equation

Methods originally developed to study the finite time blow-up problem of the regular solutions of the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations are used to investigate the regular solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation. We obtain results on the relative behaviors of the momentum density, the deformation tensor and the nonlocal term along the trajectories. In terms of these behaviors, we get new types of asymptotic properties of global solutions, blow-up criterion and blow-up time estimate for local solutions. More precisely, certain ratios of the quantities are shown to be vaguely monotonic along the trajectories of global solutions. Finite time blow-up of the accumulated momentum density is necessary and sufficient for the finite time blow-up of the solution. An upper estimate of the blow-up time and a blow-up criterion are given in terms of the initial short time trajectorial behaviors of the deformation tensor and the nonlocal term.     

On the Lagrangian dynamics of the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations

We study the dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations. In particular, by rewriting the system of equations we find that there exists a complex Riccati type of structure in the system on the whole of R³, which generalizes substantially the previous results in [5] (D. Chae, On the blow-up problem for the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations, Nonlinearity 21 (2008) 2053-2060). Using this structure of equations, we deduce the new blow-up criterion that the radial increment of pressure is not consistent with the global regularity of classical solution. We also derive a much more refined version of the Lagrangian dynamics than that of [6] (D. Chae, On the Lagrangian dynamics for the 3D incompressible Euler equations, Comm. Math. Phys. 269 (2) (2007) 557-569) in the case of axisymmetry.     

Quadratic and cubic invariants in classical mechanics

This paper is a continuation of a previous paper (A. S. Fokas, J. Math. Anal. Appl.68 (1979), 347–370). It first establishes an isomorphism between dynamical variables of Hamilton's equations and Lie-Bäcklund operators of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. It then concentrates on invariants at most cubic in the momenta. Illustrative examples are mainly potentials due to two centers and limiting cases thereof. Some new cubic invariants are also obtained.

We study blow-up, global existence and ground state solutions for the N-coupled focusing nonlinear SchrSdinger equations. Firstly, using the Nehari manifold approach and some variational techniques, the existence of ground state solutions to the equations （CNLS） is established. Secondly, under certain conditions, finite time blow-up phenomena of the solutions is derived. Finally, by introducing a refined version of compactness lemma, the L2 concentration for the blow-up solutions is obtained.     

On the solutions of the cross-coupled Camassa–Holm system

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a recently derived system of two cross-coupled Camassa–Holm equations. We firstly establish the local well-posedness result of this system in Besov spaces by using Littlewood–Paley decomposition and the transport equation theory, and then present a precise blow-up scenario for strong solutions.     

Some blow-up problems for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential

The blow-up rate estimate for the solution to a semilinear parabolic equation ut=Δu+V(x)|u|^p−1u in Ω×(0,T) with 0-Dirichlet boundary condition is obtained. As an application, it is shown that the asymptotic behavior of blow-up time and blow-up set of the problem with nonnegative initial data u(x,0)=Mφ(x) as M goes to infinity, which have been found in [C. Cortazar, M. Elgueta, J.D. Rossi, The blow-up problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential, preprint, arXiv: math.AP/0607055, July 2006], is improved under some reasonable and weaker conditions compared with [C. Cortazar, M. Elgueta, J.D. Rossi, The blow-up problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential, preprint, arXiv: math.AP/0607055, July 2006].     

Uniform blow-up rate for parabolic equations with a weighted nonlocal nonlinear source

In this paper, the blow-up rate of solutions of semi-linear reaction-diffusion equations with a more complicated source term, which is a product of nonlocal (or localized) source and weight function a(x), is investigated. It is proved that the solutions have global blow-up, and that the rates of blow-up are uniform in all compact subsets of the domain. Furthermore, the blow-up rate of _∞|u(t)| is precisely determined.     

Bäcklund transformation of fractional Riccati equation and its applications to the space–time FDEs

In this paper, the Bäcklund transformation of fractional Riccati equation is presented to establish traveling wave solutions for two nonlinear space–time fractional differential equations in the sense of modified Riemann–Liouville derivatives, namely, the space–time fractional generalized reaction duffing equation and the space–time fractional diffusion reaction equation with cubic nonlinearity. The proposed method is effective and convenient for solving nonlinear evolution equations with fractional order. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of a weakly dissipative μ-Hunter–Saxton equation. We first establish the local well-posedness for the weakly dissipative μ-Hunter–Saxton equation by Kato's semigroup theory. Then, we derive the precise blow-up scenario for strong solutions to the equation. Moreover, we present some blow-up results for strong solutions to the equation. Finally, we give two global existence results to the equation.
