A new Beale–Kato–Majda criteria for the 3D magneto‐micropolar fluid equations in the Orlicz–Morrey space

In this work, we are interested in the study of regularity for the three‐dimensional magneto‐micropolar fluid equations in Orlicz–Morrey spaces. If the velocity field satisfies or the gradient field of velocity satisfies then we show that the solution remains smooth on [0,T]. In view of the embedding with 2 < p < 3 ∕ r and P > 1, we see that our result extends the result of Yuan and that of Gala. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Boundedness of solutions to parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel systems with signal‐dependent sensitivity

This paper deals with the parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel system with signal‐dependent chemotactic sensitivity function, under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain , with initial data satisfying u₀ ≥ 0 and . The chemotactic sensitivity function χ(v) is assumed to satisfy The global existence of weak solutions in the special case is shown by Biler (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 1999; 9:347–359). Uniform boundedness and blow‐up of radial solutions are studied by Nagai and Senba (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 1998; 8:145–156). However, the global existence and uniform boundedness of classical nonradial solutions are left as an open problem. This paper gives an answer to the problem. Namely, it is shown that the system possesses a unique global classical solution that is uniformly bounded if , where γ > 0 is a constant depending on Ω and u₀.

The Bergman–Sce transform for slice monogenic functions

In a recent paper, we showed that the classical Bergman theory admits two possible formulations for the class of slice regular functions with quaternionic values. In the so called formulation of the first kind, we provide a Bergman kernel which is defined on and is a reproducing kernel. In the so called formulation of the second kind, we use the Representation Formula for slice regular functions to define a second Bergman kernel; this time the kernel is still defined on U, but the integral representation of f is based on an integral computed only on and the integral does not depend on , (here denotes the sphere unit of purely imaginary quaternions, and represents the complex plane with imaginary unit I). In this paper, we extend the second formulation of the Bergman theory to the case of slice monogenic functions and we focus our attention on the so‐called Bergman–Sce transform. This integral transform is defined by using the Bergman kernel and the Sce mapping theorem and associates to every slice monogenic function f, an axially monogenic function .

Blow‐up criterion for 3D viscous‐resistive compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we establish a blow‐up criterion of strong solutions for 3D viscous‐resistive compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations, which depends only on and . Our result improves the previous criterion in Lu's paper (Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 2011; 379: 425–438.) for compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations by removing a stringent condition on the viscous coefficients μ > 4λ. In addition, initial vacuum states are also allowed in our cases. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Weber and Beltrami integrals of squared spherical Bessel functions: finite series evaluation and high‐index asymptotics

Weber integrals and Beltrami integrals are studied, which arise in the multipole expansions of spherical random fields. These integrals define spectral averages of squared spherical Bessel functions with Gaussian or exponentially cut power‐law densities. Finite series representations of the integrals are derived for integer power‐law index μ, which admit high‐precision evaluation at low and moderate Bessel index n. At high n, numerically tractable uniform asymptotic approximations are obtained on the basis of the Debye expansion of modified spherical Bessel functions in the case of Weber integrals. The high‐n approximation of Beltrami integrals can be reduced to Legendre asymptotics. The Airy approximation of Weber and Beltrami integrals is derived as well, and numerical tests are performed over a wide range of Bessel indices by comparing the exact finite series expansions of the integrals with their high‐index asymptotics.

Then we consider an annular domain obtained by removing from a small‐cavity size of ε > 0, and we show that under proper assumptions there exists a real valued and real analytic function defined in an open neighborhood of (0,0) in and such that is a simple eigenvalue for the Steklov problem Δu = 0 in and on for all ε > 0 small enough, and such that . Here denotes the outward unit normal of , and δ_2,2 ≡ 1 and δ_2,n ≡ 0 if n ≥ 3. Then related statements have been proved for corresponding eigenfunctions.

In this paper, we develop the energy argument in homogeneous Besov space framework to study the large time behavior of global‐in‐time strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the three‐dimensional incompressible nematic liquid crystal flows with low regularity assumptions on initial data. More precisely, if the small initial data with 1 < p < ∞ and further assume that with 1 < q≤p and , then the global‐in‐time strong solution (u,d) to the nematic liquid crystal flows admits the following temporal decay rate: Here, is a constant unit vector. The highlight of our argument is to show that the ‐norms (with ) of solution are preserved along time evolution. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
