Regularity of random attractors for fractional stochastic reaction–diffusion equations on Rn

We investigate the regularity of random attractors for the non-autonomous non-local fractional stochastic reaction–diffusion equations in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ with $s\in (0,1)$. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the tempered random attractor that is compact in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ and attracts all tempered random subsets of $L^2({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ with respect to the norm of $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$. The main difficulty is to show the pullback asymptotic compactness of solutions in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ due to the noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings on unbounded domains and the almost sure nondifferentiability of the sample paths of the Wiener process. We establish such compactness by the ideas of uniform tail-estimates and the spectral decomposition of solutions in bounded domains.     

Existence of solution for a fractional advection dispersion equation in RN

This paper is concerned with the existence of solution to the following fractional advection dispersion equation$-{\int }_{|\theta |=1}{D}_{\theta }{D}_{\theta }^{\beta }\mathit{uM}(d\theta )+b(x)u=f(x\text{,}u)\text{,}x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N\text{,}u\in H^{\alpha }({\mathbb{R}}^N)\text{,}$where $N>1\text{,}{\inf }_{{\mathbb{R}}^N}b(x)>0$, $f:{\mathbb{R}}^N\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, the constant $\beta \in (0\text{,}1)\text{,}\alpha =\frac{\beta +1}{2}\text{,}M(d\theta )$ is a Borel probability measure on the unit sphere in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, $D_{\theta }^{\beta }$ denotes directional fractional derivative of order β in the direction of the unit vector θ. We focus our investigation on the existence of solution to the problem when M is symmetric and nonsymmetric by the Mountain Pass theorem and iterative technique. The main results of this paper emphasize the central role played by the general Borel probability measure.     

Regularity in Lp Sobolev spaces of solutions to fractional heat equations

This work contributes in two areas, with sharp results, to the current investigation of regularity of solutions of heat equations with a nonlocal operator P:

(*)$Pu+{?}_{t}u=f(x,t),\text{ for }x\in \mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^n,t\in I?\mathbb{R}.$

1) For strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operators (ψdo's) P on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of order $d\in {\mathbb{R}}_{+}$, a symbol calculus on ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ is introduced that allows showing optimal regularity results, globally over ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ and locally over $\mathrm{\Omega }\times I$:

$f\in H_{p,\mathrm{loc}}^{(s,s/d)}(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)?u\in H_{p,\mathrm{loc}}^{(s+d,s/d+1)}(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I),$

for $s\in \mathbb{R}$, $1<p<\infty$. The $H_p^{(s,s/d)}$ are anisotropic Sobolev spaces of Bessel-potential type, and there is a similar result for Besov spaces.2) Let Ω be smooth bounded, and let P equal ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^a$ ($0<a<1$), or its generalizations to singular integral operators with regular kernels, generating stable Lévy processes. With the Dirichlet condition $\mathrm{supp}u?\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }}$, the initial condition $u{|}_{t=0}=0$, and $f\in L_p(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)$, (*) has a unique solution $u\in L_p(I;H_p^{a(2a)}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }}))$ with ${?}_{t}u\in L_p(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)$. Here $H_p^{a(2a)}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})={\dot{H}}_p^{2a}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})$ if $a<1/p$, and is contained in ${\dot{H}}_p^{2a?\epsilon }(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})$ if $a=1/p$, but contains nontrivial elements from $d^a{\stackrel{￣}{H}}_p^a(\mathrm{\Omega })$ if $a>1/p$ (where $d(x)=\mathrm{dist}(x,?\mathrm{\Omega })$). The interior regularity of u is lifted when f is more smooth.     

Nonlinear fractional magnetic Schrödinger equation: Existence and multiplicity

In this paper we focus our attention on the following nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with magnetic field

${\epsilon }^{2s}{(?\mathrm{\Delta })}_{A/\epsilon }^{s}u+V(x)u=f(|u{|}^2)u\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^N,$

where $\epsilon >0$ is a parameter, $s\in (0,1)$, $N\ge 3$, ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}_A^s$ is the fractional magnetic Laplacian, $V:{\mathbb{R}}^N\to \mathbb{R}$ and $A:{\mathbb{R}}^N\to {\mathbb{R}}^N$ are continuous potentials and $f:{\mathbb{R}}^N\to \mathbb{R}$ is a subcritical nonlinearity. By applying variational methods and Ljusternick–Schnirelmann theory, we prove existence and multiplicity of solutions for ε small.     

The Hausdorff dimension of multivariate operator-self-similar Gaussian random fields

Let $\{X\left(t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}$ be a multivariate operator-self-similar random field with values in ${\mathbb{R}}^m$. Such fields were introduced in [22] and satisfy the scaling property $\{X\left(c^{E}t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}\stackrel{\mathrm{d}}{=}\{c^{D}X\left(t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}$ for all $c>0$, where $E$ is a $d\times d$ real matrix and $D$ is an $m\times m$ real matrix. We solve an open problem in [22] by calculating the Hausdorff dimension of the range and graph of a trajectory over the unit cube $K={[0,1]}^d$ in the Gaussian case. In particular, we enlighten the property that the Hausdorff dimension is determined by the real parts of the eigenvalues of $E$ and $D$ as well as the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of $E$ and $D$.     

Domination and upper domination of direct product graphs

Let $X_{\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}}$ denote the unitary Cayley graph of $\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}$. We present results on the tightness of the known inequality $\gamma \left(X_{\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}}\right)\le {\gamma }_t\left(X_{\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}}\right)\le g\left(n\right)$, where $\gamma$ and${\gamma }_t$ denote the domination number and total domination number, respectively, and $g$ is the arithmetic function known as Jacobsthal’s function. In particular, we construct integers $n$ with arbitrarily many distinct prime factors such that $\gamma \left(X_{\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}}\right)\le {\gamma }_t\left(X_{\mathbb{Z}∕n\mathbb{Z}}\right)\le g\left(n\right)?1$. We give lower bounds for the domination numbers of direct products of complete graphs and present a conjecture for the exact values of the upper domination numbers of direct products of balanced, complete multipartite graphs.     

Existence of weak solutions for fractional porous medium equations with nonlinear term

We study the following fractional porous medium equations with nonlinear term $\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}_t+{(-\Delta )}^{\sigma /2}\left({\left|u\right|}^{m-1}u\right)+g\left(u\right)=h\text{,}& \text{in}\Omega \times {\mathbb{R}}^{+}\text{,}\\ u(x,t)=0\text{,}& \text{in}\partial \Omega \times {\mathbb{R}}^{+}\text{,}\\ u(x,0)=u_0\text{,}& \text{in}\Omega \text{.}\end{array}$ The authors in de Pablo et al. (2011) and de Pablo et al. (2012) established the existence of weak solutions for the case $g\left(u\right)\equiv 0$. Here, we consider the nonlinear term $g$ is without an upper growth restriction. The nonlinearity of $g$ leads to the invalidity of the Crandall–Liggett theorem, which is the critical method to establish the weak solutions in de Pablo et al. (2011) and de Pablo et al. (2012). In addition, because of $g$ does not have an upper growth restriction, we have to apply the weak compactness theorem in an Orlicz space to prove the existence of weak solutions by using the Implicit Time Discretization method.     

Multiplicity and concentration behaviour of positive solutions for Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type equations involving the p-Laplacian in RN

In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type

$-{\in }^{p}M\left({\in }^{p-N}{\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^N}{\left|?u\right|}^p\right){\Delta }_{p}u+V\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u=f\left(u\right)$

in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, where Δ_p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1 < p < N, M: ${\mathbb{R}}^{+}\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ and V: ${\mathbb{R}}^{\text{N}}\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ are continuous functions, ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and Lyusternik-Schnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.
