The regularity of local solutions for a generalized Camassa-Holm type equation

The regularity of the Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa-Holm type equation is investigated. The pseudoparabolic regularization approach is employed to obtain some prior estimates under certain assumptions on the initial value of the equation. The local existence of its solution in Sobolev space Hs （R） with 1 〈 s ≤ 3/2 is derived.     

Malliavin and flow regularity of SDEs. Application to the study of densities and the stochastic transport equation

In this work we present a condition for the regularity, in both space and Malliavin sense, of strong solutions to SDEs driven by Brownian motion. We conjecture that this condition is optimal. As a consequence, we are able to improve the regularity of densities of such solutions. We also apply these results to construct a classical solution to the stochastic transport equation when the drift is Lipschitz.     

Moser-Trudinger type inequalities for the Hessian equation

The k-Hessian equation for k?2 is a class of fully nonlinear partial differential equation of divergence form. A Sobolev type inequality for the k-Hessian equation was proved by the second author in 1994. In this paper, we prove the Moser-Trudinger type inequality for the k-Hessian equation.     

Regularity of Radial Solutions to the Complex Hessian Equations

In this paper we consider regularities of radial solutions to the degenerate complex Hessian equations. Our results generalize some results for Monge-Ampere equation in [Monn, Math. Ana. 275 （1986）, pp. 501-511] and [Delanoe, J. Diff. Eqn. 58 （1985）, pp. 318-344].     

Singular solutions of Hessian fully nonlinear elliptic equations

We study Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and show that the second derivatives of viscosity solutions of those equations (in 12 or more dimensions) can blow up in an interior point of the domain. We prove that the optimal interior regularity of such solutions is no more than C1+?, showing the optimality of the known interior regularity result. The same is proven for Isaacs equations. We prove the existence of non-smooth solutions to fully nonlinear Hessian uniformly elliptic equations in 11 dimensions. We study also the possible singularity of solutions of Hessian equations defined in a neighborhood of a point and prove that a homogeneous order 0<α<1 solution of a Hessian uniformly elliptic equation in a punctured ball should be radial.

Sharp regularity estimates for solutions of the wave equation and their traces with prescribed neumann data

In this paper the regularity properties of second-order hyperbolic equations defined over a rectangular domain Θ with boundary Γ under the action of a Neumann boundary forcing term inL ² (0,T;H ^1/4 (Γ)) are investigated. With this given boundary input, we prove by a cosine operator/functional analytical approach that not only is the solution of the wave equation and its derivatives continuous in time, with their pointwise values in a basic energy space (in the interior of Ω), but also that a trace regularity thereof can be assigned for the solution’s time derivative in an appropriate (negative) Sobolev space. This new-found information on the solution and its traces is crucial in handling a mathematical model derived for a particular fluid/structure interaction system.     

Existence of multi-valued solutions with asymptotic behavior of Hessian equations

The complex Hessian equation with infinite Dirichlet boundary value

The existence and nonexistence of the -subharmonic solutions for the complex Hessian equations with infinite Dirichlet boundary value are proved in the certain bounded domain in . We calculate the k-Hessian of the radially symmetric function and use radial functions to construct various barrier functions in this paper. Moreover, it is shown that the growth rate conditions are nearly optimal.

Gain of regularity for the KP-I equation

In this paper we study the smoothness properties of solutions to the KP-I equation. We show that the equation's dispersive nature leads to a gain in regularity for the solution. In particular, if the initial data ? possesses certain regularity and sufficient decay as x→∞, then the solution u(t) will be smoother than ? for 0<t?T where T is the existence time of the solution.

A sufficient integral condition for local regularity of solutions to the surface growth model

The surface growth model, $u_t+u_{xxxx}+{?}_{xx}{u}_x^2=0$, is a one-dimensional fourth order equation, which shares a number of striking similarities with the three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, including the results regarding existence and uniqueness of solutions and the partial regularity theory. Here we show that a weak solution of this equation is smooth on a space-time cylinder Q if the Serrin condition $u_x\in L^{q^{\prime }}{L}^q(Q)$ is satisfied, where $q,q^{\prime }\in [1,\infty ]$ are such that either $1/q+4/q^{\prime }<1$ or $1/q+4/q^{\prime }=1$, $q^{\prime }<\infty$.

$S_k[u]=K(y)g(y,u,Du)$

in the neighborhood of a point $(y_0,u_0,p_0)\in {\mathbb{R}}^n\times \mathbb{R}\times {\mathbb{R}}^n$, where $g\in C^{\infty },g(y_0,u_0,p_0)>0$, $K\in C^{\infty }$ is nonnegative near $y_0$, $K(y_0)=0$ and $\text{Rank}(D_y^{2}K)(y_0)\ge n?k+1$.
