Long time decay for 2D Klein-Gordon equation

We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted energy norms for solutions of the 2D Klein-Gordon equations. The decay extends the results obtained by Jensen, Kato and Murata for the equations of Schrödinger's type by the spectral approach. For the proof we modify the approach to make it applicable to relativistic equations.     

Interaction of solitons and the effect of radiation for the generalized KdV equation

We consider the generalized KdV equation with nonlinearity $u^4$ and small dispersion $\epsilon$. Our main result consists in the conclusion that, in the leading term with respect to $\epsilon$, the solitary waves interact in this model like KdV solitons but both small corrections of the soliton parameters and small radiation term appear as a result of the waves collision. Our main tool is the numerical simulation.     

On a boundary value problem for a p‐Dirac equation

The p‐Laplace equation is a nonlinear generalization of the Laplace equation. This generalization is often used as a model problem for special types of nonlinearities. The p‐Laplace equation can be seen as a bridge between very general nonlinear equations and the linear Laplace equation. The aim of this paper is to solve the p‐Laplace equation for 1 < p < 2 and to find strong solutions. The idea is to apply a hypercomplex integral operator and spatial function theoretic methods to transform the p‐Laplace equation into the p‐Dirac equation. This equation will be solved iteratively by using a fixed‐point theorem. Applying operator‐theoretical methods for the p‐Dirac equation and p‐Laplace equation, the existence and uniqueness of solutions in certain Sobolev spaces will be proved.

Self-similar asymptotic behavior for the solutions of a linear coagulation equation

In this paper we consider the long-time asymptotics of a linear version of the Smoluchowski equation which describes the evolution of a tagged particle moving in a random distribution of fixed particles. The volumes v of these particles are independently distributed according to a probability distribution which decays asymptotically as a power law $v^{?\sigma }$. The validity of the equation has been rigorously proved in [22] taking as a starting point a particle model and for values of the exponent $\sigma >3$, but the model can be expected to be valid, on heuristic grounds, for $\sigma >\frac{5}{3}$. The resulting equation is a non-local linear degenerate parabolic equation. The solutions of this equation display a rich structure of different asymptotic behaviors according to the different values of the exponent σ. Here we show that for $\frac{5}{3}<\sigma <2$ the linear Smoluchowski equation is well-posed and that there exists a unique self-similar profile which is asymptotically stable.

Harnack's inequality for cooperative weakly coupled elliptic systems

Résumé

On étudie le comportement pour les grands temps des solutions de l'équation de Navier–Stokes dans la bande R ² × (0, 1). Après reformulation du problème à l'aide de variables auto-similaires, on calcule un développement asymptotique en temps de la vorticité jusqu'au second ordre, en supposant que la vorticité initiale est suffisamment petite et décro??t de manire polyno?miale à l'infini. Dans un deuxième temps, sans cette hypothèse de petitesse sur la donnée initiale, on prouve que, de nouveau, le comportement asymptotique des solutions globales est régi par l'équation de Navier–Stokes bidimensionnelle. En particulier, on montre que de telles solutions convergent vers le tourbillon d'Oseen.

Abstract

We study the long-time behavior of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equation in R ² × (0, 1). After introducing self-similar variables, we compute the long-time asymptotics of the vorticity up to second order, assuming that the initial vorticity is sufficiently small and has polynomial decay at infinity. Afterwards, we relax this smallness assumption and we prove again that the long-time behavior of global bounded solutions is governed by the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equation. In particular, we show that solutions converge towards Oseen vortices.     

Small Data Scattering for the One-Dimensional Nonlinear Dirac Equation with Power Nonlinearity

We study scattering problems for the one-dimensional nonlinear Dirac equation (?_t + α?_x + iβ)Φ = λ|Φ|^p?1Φ. We prove that if p > 3 (resp. p > 3 + 1/6), then the wave operator (resp. the scattering operator) is well-defined on some 0-neighborhood of a weighted Sobolev space. In order to prove these results, we use linear operators D(t)xD(?t) and t?_x + x?_t ? α/2, where {D(t)}_t∈? is the free Dirac evolution group. For the reader's convenience, in an appendix we list and prove fundamental properties of D(t)xD(?t) and t?_x + x?_t ? α/2.     

Long-time asymptotics for the porous medium equation: The spectrum of the linearized operator

We compute the complete spectrum of the displacement Hessian operator, which is obtained from the confined porous medium equation by linearization around its stationary attractor, the Barenblatt profile. On a formal level, the operator is conjugate to the Hessian of the entropy via similarity transformation. We show that the displacement Hessian can be understood as a self-adjoint operator and find that its spectrum is purely discrete. The knowledge of the complete spectrum and the explicit information about the corresponding eigenfunctions give new insights on the convergence and higher order asymptotics of solutions to the porous medium equation towards its attractor. More precisely, the inspection of the eigenfunctions allows to identify symmetries in R^N${\mathbb{R}}^N$ with flows whose rates of convergence are faster than the uniform, translation-governed bound. The present work complements the analogous study of Denzler & McCann for the fast-diffusion equation.     

New soliton solutions for a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) like equation coupled to a Schrödinger equation

The repeated homogeneous balance is used to construct a new exact traveling wave solution of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) like equation coupled to a Schrödinger equation, in which the homogeneous balance method is applied to solve the Riccati equation and the reduced nonlinear ordinary differential equation, respectively. Many new exact traveling wave solutions are successfully obtained, which contain rational and periodic-like solutions. This method is straightforward and concise, and it can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations.     

Evolution of solitary waves for a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Soliton perturbation theory is used to determine the evolution of a solitary wave described by a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Perturbation terms, which model wide classes of physically relevant perturbations, are considered. An analytical solution is found for the first-order correction of the evolving solitary wave. This solution for the solitary wave tail is in integral form and an explicit expression is found, for large time. Singularity theory, usually used for combustion problems, is applied to the large time expression for the solitary wave tail. Analytical results are obtained, such as the parameter regions in which qualitatively different types of solitary wave tails occur, the location of zeros and the location and amplitude of peaks, in the solitary wave tail. Two examples, the near-continuum limit of a discrete NLS equation and an explicit numerical scheme for the NLS equation, are considered in detail. For the discrete NLS equation it is found that three qualitatively different types of solitary wave tail can occur, while for the explicit finite-difference scheme, only one type of solitary wave tail occurs. An excellent comparison between the perturbation solution and numerical simulations, for the solitary wave tail, is found for both examples.     

Interaction of solitary waves for the generalized KdV equation

We consider a class of generalized KdV equations with a small parameter and nonlinearities of the type u^m. We create a finite differences scheme to simulate the solution of the Cauchy problem and present some numerical results for the problem of the solitary waves interaction. In particular, we consider sufficient condition under which pairs of solitary waves interact, in the asymptotic sense, in accordance with the soliton scenario.     

WKB method for the Dirac equation with a scalar-vector coupling

We outline a recursive method for obtaining WKB expansions of solutions of the Dirac equation in an external centrally symmetric field with a scalar-vector Lorentz structure of the interaction potentials. We obtain semiclassical formulas for radial functions in the classically allowed and forbidden regions and find conditions for matching them in passing through the turning points. We generalize the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule to the relativistic case where a spin-1/2 particle interacts simultaneously with a scalar and an electrostatic external field. We obtain a general expression in the semiclassical approximation for the width of quasistationary levels, which was earlier known only for barrier-type electrostatic potentials (the Gamow formula). We show that the obtained quantization rule exactly produces the energy spectrum for Coulomb- and oscillatory-type potentials. We use an example of the funnel potential to demonstrate that the proposed version of the WKB method not only extends the possibilities for studying the spectrum of energies and wave functions analytically but also ensures an appropriate accuracy of calculations even for states with n_r 1.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 143, No. 1, pp. 83–111, April, 2005.

Solitary waves for Korteweg-de Vries equation with small delay

This paper deals with the existence of solitary waves for Korteweg-de Vries equation with time delay. Based upon the inertial manifold theory and differential manifold geometric theory, the existence of solitary wave solution is proved when the delay is small enough. Up to now, studies on solitary wave for such delay differential equation are not available, so the results of this paper are new.
