By the Nehari manifold and variational methods, we prove that the problem (0.1) has at least two nontrivial nonnegative solutions when the pair of the parameters (λ,μ) belongs to a certain subset of .

Maxwell meets Korn: A new coercive inequality for tensor fields in with square‐integrable exterior derivative

For a bounded domain with connected Lipschitz boundary, we prove the existence of some c > 0, such that holds for all square‐integrable tensor fields , having square‐integrable generalized “rotation” tensor fields and vanishing tangential trace on ?Ω, where both operations are to be understood row‐wise. Here, in each row, the operator curl is the vector analytical reincarnation of the exterior derivative d in . For compatible tensor fields T, that is, T = ? v, the latter estimate reduces to a non‐standard variant of Korn's first inequality in , namely for all vector fields , for which ? v_n,n = 1, … ,N, are normal at ?Ω.

Asymptotic behavior for the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation

This work is focused on the long‐time behavior of solutions to the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation in a 3D case where ε > 0 is small enough. Without any growth restrictions on the nonlinearity f(u), we establish in an appropriate bounded phase space a finite dimensional global attractor as well as an exponential attractor of optimal regularity. The key step is the estimate of the difference between the solutions of the damped Boussinesq equation and the corresponding pseudo‐parabolic equation.Copyright © 2014 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.

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.

A complete upper estimate on the localization for the degenerate parabolic equation with nonlinear source

This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for the degenerate parabolic equation with a strongly nonlinear source where N ≥ 1, p > 2, q ≥ p ? 1, and the blow‐up time T < ∞ . It has been shown that the solution u(x,t) is strictly localized for q ≥ p ? 1, provided that the initial function u₀(x) has a compact support by Liang and Zhao. In addition, if q > 2p ? 1, an upper estimate on the localization in terms of the initial support and the blow‐up time T is partially derived by Liang. In this work, by using the De Giorgi‐type iteration technique, we give a complete estimate on the localization for all q ≥ p ? 1. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

It is proved that if the pressure satisfies where denotes the critical Besov space, then the weak solution (u,w) becomes a regular solution on (0,T]. This regularity criterion can be regarded as log in time improvements of the standard Serrin's criteria established before. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer

In this paper, we prove the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer with resolvent parameter , where , and our boundary conditions are nonhomogeneous Neumann on upper boundary and Dirichlet on lower boundary. We want to emphasize that we can choose 0 < ? < π ∕ 2 and γ₀ > 0 arbitrarily, although usual parabolic theorem tells us that we must choose a large γ₀ > 0 for given 0 < ? < π ∕ 2. We also prove the maximal L_p ? L_q regularity theorem of the nonstationary Stokes problem as an application of the ‐boundedness. The key of our approach is to apply several technical lemmas to the exact solution formulas of a resolvent problem. The formulas are obtained through the solutions of the ODEs, in the Fourier space, driven by the partial Fourier transform with respect to tangential space variable .
