Asymptotic behavior for the Navier–Stokes equations in 2D exterior domains

We show that the L^p spatial–temporal decay rates of solutions of incompressible flow in an 2D exterior domain. When a domain has a boundary, pressure term makes an obstacle since we do not have enough information on the pressure term near the boundary. To overcome the difficulty, we adopt the ideas in He, Xin [C. He, Z. Xin, Weighted estimates for nonstationary Navier–Stokes equations in exterior domain, Methods Appl. Anal. 7 (3) (2000) 443–458], and our previous results [H.-O. Bae, B.J. Jin, Asymptotic behavior of Stokes solutions in 2D exterior domains, J. Math. Fluid Mech., in press; H.-O. Bae, B.J. Jin, Temporal and spatial decay rates of Navier–Stokes solutions in exterior domains, submitted for publication]. For the spatial decay rate estimate, we first extend temporal decay rate result of the Navier–Stokes solutions for general L^p space when the initial velocity is in , 1<rq<∞ (1<r<q=∞).     

Exterior Stokes problem in the half-space

The purpose of this work is to solve the exterior Stokes problem in the half-space . We study the existence and the uniqueness of generalized solutions in weighted L ^p theory with 1 < p < ∞. Moreover, we consider the case of strong solutions and very weak solutions. This paper extends the studies done in Alliot, Amrouche (Math. Methods Appl. 23:575–600, 2000) for an exterior Stokes problem in the whole space and in Amrouche, Bonzom (Exterior Problems in the Half-space, submitted) for the Laplace equation in the same geometry as here.      

Local solvability of a nonstationary leakage problem for an ideal incompressible fluid, 3

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the leakage problem for the Euler equations in bounded domain Ω C R³ with corners π/n, n = 2, 3… We consider the case where the tangent components of the vorticity vector are given on the part S₁ of the boundary where the fluid enters the domain. We prove the existence of an unique solution in the Sobolev space W_p^l(Ω), for arbitrary natural l and p > 1. The proof is divided on three parts: (1) the existence of solutions of the elliptic problem in the domain with corners where v – velocity vector, ω – vorticity vector and n is an unit outward vector normal to the boundary, (2) the existence of solutions of the following evolution problem for given velocity vector (3) the method of successive approximations, using solvability of problems (1) and (2).     

Nonstationary Stokes system in weighted Sobolev spaces

We consider an initial‐boundary value problem for nonstationary Stokes system in a bounded domain Omega??³ with slip boundary conditions. We assume that Ω is crossed by an axis L. Let us introduce the following weighted Sobolev spaces with finite norms: and where ?(x) = dist{x, L}. We proved the result. Given the external force f∈L_{2, ?µ}(Ω^T), initial velocity v₀∈H(Ω), µ∈?₊\? there exist velocity v∈H(Ω^T) and the pressure p, ?p∈L_{2, ?µ}(Ω^T) and a constant c, independent of v, p, f, such that As we consider the Stokes system in weighted Sobolev spaces the following two things must be used:

• 1. the slip boundary condition and
• 2. the Helmholtz–Weyl decomposition.

Regularized Combined Field Integral Equations

Summary. Many boundary integral equations for exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation suffer from a notorious instability for wave numbers related to interior resonances. The so-called combined field integral equations are not affected. However, if the boundary is not smooth, the traditional combined field integral equations for the exterior Dirichlet problem do not give rise to an L²()-coercive variational formulation. This foils attempts to establish asymptotic quasi-optimality of discrete solutions obtained through conforming Galerkin boundary element schemes.This article presents new combined field integral equations on two-dimensional closed surfaces that possess coercivity in canonical trace spaces. The main idea is to use suitable regularizing operators in the framework of both direct and indirect methods. This permits us to apply the classical convergence theory of conforming Galerkin methods.     

Sharp by order estimates of solutions of a simplest singular boundary value problem

We consider a boundary value problem ((0.1)) where f ∈ L_p (?), p ∈ [1, ∞] (L∞ (?) ? C (?)) and 0 ≤ q ∈ L^loc₁ (?). For a given p ∈ [1, ∞], for a correctly solvable problem (0.1) in L_p (?), we obtain minimal requirements to a positive, continuous function Θ(x) for x ∈ ? under which, regardless of f ∈ L_p (?), the solution y ∈ L_p (?) of problem (0.1) satisfies the equality .

On directed diffusion with measurable background

We show that the ‘directed diffusion equation’ with periodic boundary conditions has a unique weak solution u whenever b is measurable and bounded above and below by positive constants. Also, lim_t→∞u(t,x) in L^p, 1?p≤∞.     

Decay estimates for dissipative wave equations in exterior domains

Consider the initial boundary value problem for the linear dissipative wave equation (□+∂_t)u=0 in an exterior domain . Using the so-called cut-off method together with local energy decay and L² decays in the whole space, we study decay estimates of the solutions. In particular, when N?3, we derive L^p decays with p?1 of the solutions. Next, as an application of the decay estimates for the linear equation, we consider the global solvability problem for the semilinear dissipative wave equations (□+∂_t)u=f(u) with f(u)=|u|^α+1,|u|^αu in an exterior domain.     

The Stokes-system in exterior domains:L p -estimates for small values of a resolvent parameter

We consider the resolvent problem for the Stokes-system in an exterior domain: $$- v \cdot \Delta u + \lambda \cdot u + \nabla \pi = f,divu = 0in\mathbb{R}^3 \backslash \bar \Omega ,$$ , with υε]0, ∞[, λε?] ?∞, 0], Ω bounded domain in ?³, withC ²-boundary ?Ω. In addition, Dirichlet boundary conditionsu¦?Ω=0 are prescribed. Using the method of integral equations, we estimate solutions (u,π) inL ^p -norms, for small values of ¦λ¦.     

An Lq-theory for weak solutions of the stokes system in exterior domains

We introduce a new concept for weak solutions in L^q-spaces, 1 < q < ∞, of the Stokes system in an exterior domain Ω ? ?ⁿ, n ? 2. Defining the variational formulation in the homogeneous Sobolev space $ \mathop H\limits^.{_{0}}^{1,q} (\Omega )^n = \{ u \in L_{1{\rm oc}}^q (\overline \Omega )^n;\nabla u \in L^q (\Omega )^{n^2 },u\left| {_{\partial \Omega } = 0} \right.\},$ we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for an arbitrary external force and a prescribed divergence g = div u. On the other hand, solutions in the sense of distributions which are defined by taking test functions only in C(Ω)ⁿ are not unique if q > n/(n?1). In this case, a hidden boundary condition related to the force exerted on the body may be imposed to single out a unique solution.     

Periodic solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations in a perturbed half‐space and an aperture domain

We shall construct a periodic strong solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for some periodic external force in a perturbed half‐space and an aperture domain of the dimension n?3. Our proof is based on L^p–L^q estimates of the Stokes semigroup. We apply L^p–L^q estimates to the integral equation which is transformed from the original equation. As a result, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of periodic strong solutions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Global existence of the radially symmetric solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the isentropic compressible fluids

We study the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with radially symmetric data in an annular domain. We first prove the global existence and regularity results on the radially symmetric weak solutions with non‐negative bounded densities. Then we prove the global existence of radially symmetric strong solutions when the initial data ρ₀, u ₀ satisfy the compatibility condition for some radially symmetric g ∈ L². The initial density ρ₀ needs not be positive. We also prove some uniqueness results on the strong solutions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the Lp–Lq maximal regularity for the linear thermoelastic plate equation in a bounded domain

This paper is concerned with the thermoelastic plate equations in a domain Ω: subject to the boundary condition: u|=D_νu|=θ|=0 and initial condition: (u, u_t, θ)|_t=0=(u₀, v₀, θ₀). Here, Ω is a bounded domain in ?ⁿ(n≧2). We assume that the boundary ?Ω of Ω is a C⁴ hypersurface. We obtain an L_p–L_q maximal regularity theorem. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Uniqueness of weak solutions in critical space of the 3‐D time‐dependent Ginzburg‐Landau equations for superconductivity

We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions of the 3‐D time‐dependent Ginzburg‐Landau equations for super‐conductivity with initial data (ψ₀, A₀)∈ L² under the hypothesis that (ψ, A) ∈ L^s(0, T; L^r,∞) × (0, T; with Coulomb gauge for any (r, s) and satisfying + = 1, + = 1, ≥ , ≥ and 3 < r ≤ 6, 3 < ≤ ∞. Here L^r,∞ ≡ is the Lorentz space. As an application, we prove a uniqueness result with periodic boundary condition when ψ₀ ∈ , A₀ ∈ L³ (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

An integral operator related to the Stokes system in exterior domains

Consider a bounded domain Ω in ?³ with C²-boundary ?Ω. In [1] the Stokes problem in the exterior domain ?³/Ω , with resolvent parameter [λ??\] ? [∞,0], is solved by using the method of integral equations. However, for estimating the corresponding solutions in L^p norms, it turns out that a certain operator defined on the spaces L^r(?Ω)³, for r ?]1, ∞[, has to be evaluated in the norm of L^r(?Ω)³. This estimate is proved in the present paper.     

An estimate for the solutions of stokes equations in exterior domains

A boundary value problem for the Stokes equations is examined in an exterior domain ⁿ with a uniform Dirichlet condition on the boundary and a homogeneous condition at infinity. It is shown that estimating the norm L _p() of the second derivatives of the velocity vector field by the same norm of the exterior forces vector field is correct for p < n/2, but not for p n/2. This estimate is valid also for p n/2 if the boundary conditions are modified at infinity. Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Global regular solutions for Landau-Lifshitz equation

In this note, we prove that there exists a unique global regular solution for multidimensional Landau-Lifshitz equation if the gradient of solutions can be bounded in space L ²(0, T; L ^∞). Moreover, for the two-dimensional radial symmetric Landau-Lifshitz equation with Neumann boundary condition in the exterior domain, this hypothesis in space L ²(0, T; L ^∞) can be cancelled.     

Problems for elliptic equations with operator-boundary conditions

We consider, in a Hilbert space H, a problem on [0,1] for a second order elliptic operator-differential equation with operator-boundary conditions. We also consider second order elliptic differential equations with operatorboundary conditions in cylindrical domains in the case when operator-boundary conditions contain integral terms over the whole domain. In this case, the proof of the density of the domain of definition of operators in a space is difficult. When boundary conditions are local, this fact is a simple corollary of the density ofC ₀ () inL _p ().
