Ergodicity of stochastic 2D Navier–Stokes equation with Lévy noise

In this paper we deal with the 2D Navier-Stokes equation perturbed by a Lévy noise force whose white noise part is non-degenerate and that the intensity measure of Poisson measure is σ-finite. Existence and uniqueness of invariant measure for this equation is obtained, two main properties of the Markov semigroup associated with this equation are proved. In other words, strong Feller property and irreducibility hold in the same space.     

Optimal control problems constrained by the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations with multiplicative Lévy noise

We consider the controlled stochastic Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded multidimensional domain, where the noise term allows jumps. In order to prove existence and uniqueness of an optimal control w.r.t. a given control problem, we first need to show the existence and uniqueness of a local mild solution of the considered controlled stochastic Navier–Stokes equations. We then discuss the control problem, where the related cost functional includes stopping times dependent on controls. Based on the continuity of the cost functional, we can apply existence and uniqueness results provided in [4], which enables us to show that a unique optimal control exists.     

Markov solutions for the 3D stochastic Navier–Stokes equations with state dependent noise

We construct a Markov family of solutions for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations perturbed by a non degenerate noise. We improve the result of [3] in two directions. We see that in fact not only a transition semigroup but a Markov family of solutions can be constructed. Moreover, we consider a state dependant noise. Another feature of this work is that we greatly simplify the proofs of [3]. Dedicated to Giuseppe Da Prato on the occasion of his 70th birthday     

Approximation properties for solutions to non‐Lipschitz stochastic differential equations with Lévy noise

In this paper, we consider the non‐Lipschitz stochastic differential equations and stochastic functional differential equations with delays driven by Lévy noise, and the approximation theorems for the solutions to these two kinds of equations will be proposed respectively. Non‐Lipschitz condition is much weaker condition than the Lipschitz one. The simplified equations will be defined to make its solutions converge to that of the corresponding original equations both in the sense of mean square and probability, which constitute the approximation theorems.

Spectral heat content for Lévy processes

In this paper we study the spectral heat content for various Lévy processes. We establish the small time asymptotic behavior of the spectral heat content for Lévy processes of bounded variation in , . We also study the spectral heat content for arbitrary open sets of finite Lebesgue measure in with respect to symmetric Lévy processes of unbounded variation under certain conditions on their characteristic exponents. Finally, we establish that the small time asymptotic behavior of the spectral heat content is stable under integrable perturbations to the Lévy measure.     

Spatial regularity of semigroups generated by Lévy type operators

We apply the probabilistic coupling approach to establish spatial regularity of semigroups associated with Lévy type operators, by assuming that the corresponding martingale problem is well posed. In particular, we can prove the Lipschitz continuity of the associated semigroups, when the coefficients are Hölder continuous but the corresponding Lévy kernel may be singular.     

A remark on the decay of solutions to the 3‐D Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we derive a decay rate of the L²‐norm of the solution to the 3‐D Navier–Stokes equations. Although the result which is proved by Fourier splitting method is well known, our method is new, concise and direct. Moreover, it turns out that the new method established here has a wide application on other equations. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ergodicity of 2D stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equations driven by degenerate noise

The current paper is devoted to stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equation with degenerate random forcing. The existence and pathwise uniqueness of strong solutions with H¹‐initial data is established, and then the existence of an invariant measure for the Feller semigroup is shown by Krylov–Bogoliubov theorem. Because of the coupled items in the stochastic Ginzburg–Landau–Newell equations, the higher order momentum estimates can be only obtained in the L²‐norm. We show the ergodicity of invariant measure for the transition semigroup by asymptotically strong Feller property and the support property. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with partial hyperdissipation

The three‐dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with the hyperdissipation always possess global smooth solutions when . Tao [6] and Barbato, Morandin and Romito [1] made logarithmic reductions in the dissipation and still obtained the global regularity. This paper makes a different type of reduction in the dissipation and proves the global existence and uniqueness in the H¹‐functional setting.     

A fully discrete nonlinear Galerkin method for the 3D Navier–Stokes equations

The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) We show that the Fourier‐based Nonlinear Galerkin Method (NLGM) constructs suitable weak solutions to the periodic Navier–Stokes equations in three space dimensions provided the large scale/small scale cutoff is appropriately chosen. (ii) If smoothness is assumed, NLGM always outperforms the Galerkin method by a factor equal to 1 in the convergence order of the H ¹‐norm for the velocity and the L²‐norm for the pressure. This is a purely linear superconvergence effect resulting from standard elliptic regularity and holds independently of the nature of the boundary conditions (whether periodicity or no‐slip BC is enforced). © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Under some mild assumptions on the Lévy measure and the symbol we obtain gradient estimates of Dirichlet heat kernels for pure‐jump isotropic unimodal Lévy processes in .     

Existence of global strong solution for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity coefficients in 1D

We consider Navier–Stokes equations for compressible viscous fluids in the one‐dimensional case. We prove the existence of global strong solution with large initial data for compressible Navier–Stokes equation with viscosity coefficients of the form with (it includes in particular the important physical case of the viscous shallow water system when ). The key ingredient of the proof relies to a new formulation of the compressible equations involving a new effective velocity v (see 13 , 14 , 16 , 17 ) such that the density verifies a parabolic equation. We estimate v in norm which enables us to control the norm of by using the maximum principle.     

Two‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations with 4‐cyclic symmetry

This paper is concerned with the stationary Navier–Stokes equation in the whole plane and in the two–dimensional exterior domain invariant under the action of the cyclic group of order 4, and gives a condition on the potentials yielding the external force, and on the boundary value, sufficient for the unique existence of a small solution equivariant with respect to the aforementioned cyclic group.     

Sufficient conditions for the regularity of the solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we find sufficient conditions, involving only the pressure, that ensure the regularity of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations. Conditions involving only the pressure were previously obtained in [7,4]. Following a remark in this last reference we improve, in particular, Kaniel's result [7]. Our condition can be seen at the light of the heuristic idea that the pressure behaves similarly to the modulus squared of the velocity. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Transition probabilities of Lévy‐type processes: Parametrix construction

We present an existence result for Lévy‐type processes which requires only weak regularity assumptions on the symbol with respect to the space variable x. Applications range from existence and uniqueness results for Lévy‐driven SDEs with Hölder continuous coefficients to existence results for stable‐like processes and Lévy‐type processes with symbols of variable order. Moreover, we obtain heat kernel estimates for a class of Lévy and Lévy‐type processes. The paper includes an extensive list of Lévy(‐type) processes satisfying the assumptions of our results.     

Estimates of densities for Lévy processes with lower intensity of large jumps

We obtain general lower estimates of transition densities of jump Lévy processes. We use them for processes with Lévy measures having bounded support, processes with exponentially decaying Lévy measures for large times and for processes with high intensity of small jumps for small times.     

Large time behavior for the non‐isentropic Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system

In this paper, we are concerned with the system of the non‐isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the Maxwell equations through the Lorentz force in three space dimensions. The global existence of solutions near constant steady states is established, and the time‐decay rates of perturbed solutions are obtained. The proof for existence is due to the classical energy method, and the investigation of large‐time behavior is based on the linearized analysis of the non‐isentropic Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations and the electromagnetic part for the linearized isentropic Navier–Stokes–Maxwell equations. In the meantime, the time‐decay rates obtained by Zhang, Li, and Zhu [J. Differential Equations, 250(2011), 866‐891] for the linearized non‐isentropic Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations are improved.

Existence and global attractiveness of a square‐mean ‐pseudo almost automorphic solution for some stochastic evolution equation driven by Lévy noise

In this work, we introduce the concept of μ‐pseudo almost automorphic processes in distribution. We use the μ‐ergodic process to define the spaces of μ‐pseudo almost automorphic processes in the square mean sense. We establish many interesting results on the functional space of such processes like a composition theorem. Under some appropriate assumptions, we establish the existence, the uniqueness and the stability of the square‐mean μ‐pseudo almost automorphic solutions in distribution to a class of abstract stochastic evolution equations driven by Lévy noise. We provide an example to illustrate our results.     

Solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions in two‐dimensional bounded domains

In this paper we consider the system of the non‐steady Navier–Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions. We study the existence and uniqueness of a solution of this system. We define Banach spaces X and Y, respectively, to be the space of “possible” solutions of this problem and the space of its data. We define the operator and formulate our problem in terms of operator equations. Let and be the Fréchet derivative of at . We prove that is one‐to‐one and onto Y. Consequently, suppose that the system is solvable with some given data (the initial velocity and the right hand side). Then there exists a unique solution of this system for data which are small perturbations of the previous ones. The next result proved in the Appendix of this paper is W^{2, 2}‐regularity of solutions of steady Stokes system with mixed boundary condition for sufficiently smooth data.     

Classical solutions to Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids with non-negative densities

We study the Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids in a bounded domain Ω of R³. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem of linear Stokes equations and then we obtain the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum under the assumption that the data satisfies a natural compatibility condition.
