Analytic smoothing effect for global solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We prove the global existence of analytic solutions to the Cauchy problem for the cubic Schrödinger equation in space dimension n?3 for sufficiently small data with exponential decay at infinity. Minimal regularity assumption regarding scaling invariance is imposed on the Cauchy data.     

Exponential decay and Fredholm properties in second-order quasilinear elliptic systems

We consider second-order quasilinear elliptic systems on unbounded domains in the setting of Sobolev spaces. We complete our earlier work on the Fredholm and properness properties of the associated differential operators by giving verifiable conditions for the linearization to be Fredholm of index zero. This opens the way to using the degree for C¹-Fredholm maps of index zero as a tool in the study of such quasilinear systems. Our work also enables us to check the Fredholm assumption which plays an important role in Rabier's approach to proving exponential decay to zero at infinity of solutions.     

A general method for proving sharp energy decay rates for memory-dissipative evolution equations

This Note is concerned with stabilization of hyperbolic systems by a distributed memory feedback. We present here a general method which gives energy decay rates in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the kernel at infinity. This method, which allows us to recover in a natural way the known cases (exponential, polynomial, …), applies to a large quasi-optimal class of kernels. It also provides sharp energy decay rates compared to the ones that are available in the literature. We give a general condition under which the energy of solutions is shown to decay at least as fast as the kernel at infinity. To cite this article: F. Alabau-Boussouira, P. Cannarsa, C. R. Acad. Sci.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE, UNIFORM DECAY AND EXPONENTIAL GROWTH FOR A CLASS OF SEMI-LINEAR WAVE EQUATION WITH STRONG DAMPING

In this paper, we consider the nonlinearly damped semi-linear wave equation associated with initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a local weak solution and introduce a family of potential wells and discuss the invariants and vacuum isolating behavior of solutions. Furthermore, we prove the global existence of solutions in both cases which are polynomial and exponential decay in the energy space respectively, and the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the cases of potential well family with 0相似文献   

Stabilization and control for the subcritical semilinear wave equation

In this paper, we analyze the exponential decay property of solutions of the semilinear wave equation in with a damping term which is effective on the exterior of a ball. Under suitable and natural assumptions on the nonlinearity we prove that the exponential decay holds locally uniformly for finite energy solutions provided the nonlinearity is subcritical at infinity. Subcriticality means, roughly speaking, that the nonlinearity grows at infinity at most as a power p<5. The method of proof combines classical energy estimates for the linear wave equation allowing to estimate the total energy of solutions in terms of the energy localized in the exterior of a ball, Strichartz's estimates and results by P. Gérard on microlocal defect measures and linearizable sequences. We also give an application to the stabilization and controllability of the semilinear wave equation in a bounded domain under the same growth condition on the nonlinearity but provided the nonlinearity has been cut-off away from the boundary.     

Global well-posedness and exponential stability of solutions for the viscous radiative and reactive gas

This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness and exponential stability of solutions to a one-dimensional model for the viscous radiative and reactive gas with higher-order kinetics. We prove that under rather general assumptions on the heat conductivity κ, for any large smooth initial data, the problem admits a unique global classical solution. Moreover, the solution will exponentially decay to the unique steady state as time goes to infinity.     

Uniform boundary stabilization of the finite difference space discretization of the 1−d wave equation

The energy of solutions of the wave equation with a suitable boundary dissipation decays exponentially to zero as time goes to infinity. We consider the finite-difference space semi-discretization scheme and we analyze whether the decay rate is independent of the mesh size. We focus on the one-dimensional case. First we show that the decay rate of the energy of the classical semi-discrete system in which the 1?d Laplacian is replaced by a three-point finite difference scheme is not uniform with respect to the net-spacing size h. Actually, the decay rate tends to zero as h goes to zero. Then we prove that adding a suitable vanishing numerical viscosity term leads to a uniform (with respect to the mesh size) exponential decay of the energy of solutions. This numerical viscosity term damps out the high frequency numerical spurious oscillations while the convergence of the scheme towards the original damped wave equation is kept. Our method of proof relies essentially on discrete multiplier techniques.     

Decay estimates for homogeneous Boussinesq equations in a semi-infinite pipe

In this paper, we establish the spatial decay bounds for homogeneous Boussinesq equations in a semi-infinite pipe flow. Assuming that the entrance velocity and magnetic field data are restricted appropriately, and it converges to laminar flow as the distance down the pipe tends to infinity, we derive a second order differential inequality that leads to an exponential decay estimate for the energy E(z,t) defined in (27). We also indicate how to establish the explicit bound for the total energy.     

Uniform decay estimates for finite-energy solutions of semi-linear elliptic inequalities and geometric applications

We prove uniform decay estimates at infinity for solutions 0?u∈Lp of the semilinear elliptic inequality Δu+auσ+bu?0, a,b?0, σ?1, in the presence of a Sobolev inequality (with potential term). This gives a unified point of view in the investigation of different geometric questions. In particular, we present applications to the study of the topology at infinity of parallel mean curvature submanifolds, to the non-compact Yamabe problem, and to estimate the decay rate of the traceless Ricci tensor of conformally flat manifolds.     

The existence and nonexistence of entire positive solutions of semilinear elliptic systems with gradient term

We show the existence and nonexistence of entire positive solutions for semilinear elliptic system with gradient term Δu+|∇u|=p(|x|)f(u,v), Δv+|∇v|=q(|x|)g(u,v) on RN, N?3, provided that nonlinearities f and g are positive and continuous, the potentials p and q are continuous, c-positive and satisfy appropriate growth conditions at infinity. We find that entire large positive solutions fail to exist if f and g are sublinear and p and q have fast decay at infinity, while if f and g satisfy some growth conditions at infinity, and p, q are of slow decay or fast decay at infinity, then the system has infinitely many entire solutions, which are large or bounded.     

Global entropy solutions to exothermically reacting, compressible Euler equations

The global existence of entropy solutions is established for the compressible Euler equations for one-dimensional or plane-wave flow of an ideal gas, which undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under Arrhenius-type kinetics. We assume that the reaction rate is bounded away from zero and the total variation of the initial data is bounded by a parameter that grows arbitrarily large as the equation of state converges to that of an isothermal gas. The heat released by the reaction causes the spatial total variation of the solution to increase. However, the increase in total variation is proved to be bounded in t>0 as a result of the uniform and exponential decay of the reactant to zero as t approaches infinity.     

Local distortion techniques and unitarity of the S-matrix for the 2-body problem

The two-body S-matrix for an interaction with exponential decay at infinity is defined in a time-independent way and its unitarity is proved directly by local distortion techniques. Complete sets of incoming and outgoing states, or delicate resolvent estimates are not needed for the proof.     

Fermi-Dirac-Fokker-Planck equation: Well-posedness & long-time asymptotics

A Fokker-Planck type equation for interacting particles with exclusion principle is analyzed. The nonlinear drift gives rise to mathematical difficulties in controlling moments of the distribution function. Assuming enough initial moments are finite, we can show the global existence of weak solutions for this problem. The natural associated entropy of the equation is the main tool to derive uniform in time a priori estimates for the kinetic energy and entropy. As a consequence, long-time asymptotics in L¹ are characterized by the Fermi-Dirac equilibrium with the same initial mass. This result is achieved without rate for any constructed global solution and with exponential rate due to entropy/entropy-dissipation arguments for initial data controlled by Fermi-Dirac distributions. Finally, initial data below radial solutions with suitable decay at infinity lead to solutions for which the relative entropy towards the Fermi-Dirac equilibrium is shown to converge to zero without decay rate.     

Porous Medium Flow with Both a Fractional Potential Pressure and Fractional Time Derivative

The authors study a porous medium equation with a right-hand side. The operator has nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator.The derivative in time is also fractional and is of Caputo-type, which takes into account"memory". The precise model isD_t~αu- div(u(-Δ)~(-σ)u) = f, 0 σ 1/2.This paper poses the problem over {t ∈ R~+, x ∈ R~n} with nonnegative initial data u(0, x) ≥0 as well as the right-hand side f ≥ 0. The existence for weak solutions when f, u(0, x)have exponential decay at infinity is proved. The main result is H¨older continuity for such weak solutions.     

Phase space analysis on some black hole manifolds

The Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrøm solutions to Einstein's equations describe space-times which contain spherically symmetric black holes. We consider solutions to the linear wave equation in the exterior of a fixed black hole space-time of this type. We show that for solutions with initial data which decay at infinity and at the bifurcation sphere, a weighted L⁶ norm in space decays like . This weight vanishes at the event horizon, but not at infinity. To obtain this control, we require only an ? loss of angular derivatives.     

On solving the potential equation

We study radial solutions to the generalized Swift-Hohenberg equation on the plane with an additional quadratic term. We find stationary localized radial solutions that decay at infinity and solutions that tend to constants as the radius increases unboundedly (“droplets”). We formulate existence theorems for droplets and sketch the proofs employing the properties of the limit system as r → ∞. This system is a Hamiltonian system corresponding to a spatially one-dimensional stationary Swift-Hohenberg equation. We analyze the properties of this system and also discuss concentric-wave-type solutions. All the results are obtained by combining the methods of the theory of dynamical systems, in particular, the theory of homo-and heteroclinic orbits, and numerical simulation.     

On decay of solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We present general results on exponential decay of finite energy solutions to stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Under certain natural assumptions we show that any such solution is continuous and vanishes at infinity. This allows us to interpret the solution as a finite multiplicity eigenfunction of a certain linear Schrödinger operator and, hence, apply well-known results on the decay of eigenfunctions.

     

Pullback attractors for a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes model in an infinite delay case

We prove the existence of solutions for a Navier-Stokes model in two dimensions with an external force containing infinite delay effects in the weighted space C_γ(H). Then, under additional suitable assumptions, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a stationary solution and the exponential decay of the solutions of the evolutionary problem to this stationary solution. Finally, we study the existence of pullback attractors for the dynamical system associated to the problem under more general assumptions.     

Multibump solutions for discrete periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we study the existence of multibump solutions for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic potentials. We first reduce the existence of multibump homoclinic solutions to the existence of an isolated homoclinic solution with a nontrivial critical group. Then, we study the existence of homoclinics with nontrivial critical groups for both superlinear and asymptotically linear discrete periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equations, and we provide simple sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinics with nontrivial critical groups in the positive definite case. As an application, we get, without any symmetry assumptions, infinitely many geometrically distinct homoclinic solutions with exponential decay at infinity.
