Blowup of solutions to a two-chemical substances chemotaxis system in the critical dimension

This paper deals with positive solutions of the fully parabolic system

$\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}_t=\mathrm{\Delta }u?\chi \mathrm{?}?(u\mathrm{?}v)\hfill & \mathrm{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\tau }_1{v}_t=\mathrm{\Delta }v?v+w\hfill & \mathrm{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\tau }_2{w}_t=\mathrm{\Delta }w?w+u\hfill & \mathrm{in}\mathrm{\Omega }\times (0,\infty )\hfill \end{array}$

under mixed boundary conditions (no-flux and Dirichlet conditions) in a smooth bounded convex domain $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^4$ with positive parameters ${\tau }_1,{\tau }_2,\chi >0$ and nonnegative smooth initial data $(u_0,v_0,w_0)$.Global existence and boundedness of solutions were shown if ${6u_{0}6}_{L^1(\mathrm{\Omega })}<{(8\pi )}^2/\chi$ in Fujie–Senba (2017). In the present paper, it is shown that there exist blowup solutions satisfying ${6u_{0}6}_{L^1(\mathrm{\Omega })}>{(8\pi )}^2/\chi$. This result suggests that the system can be regard as a generalization of the Keller–Segel system, which has $8\pi /\chi$-dichotomy. The key ingredients are a Lyapunov functional and quantization properties of stationary solutions of the system in ${\mathbb{R}}^4$.     

Blow-up phenomena for the Liouville equation with a singular source of integer multiplicity

We are concerned with the existence of blowing-up solutions to the following boundary value problem

$?\mathrm{\Delta }u=\lambda a(x)e^u?4\pi N{\delta }_0\text{ in }\mathrm{\Omega },u=0\text{ on }?\mathrm{\Omega },$

where Ω is a smooth and bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ such that $0\in \mathrm{\Omega }$, $a(x)$ is a positive smooth function, N is a positive integer and $\lambda >0$ is a small parameter. Here ${\delta }_0$ defines the Dirac measure with pole at 0. We find conditions on the function a and on the domain Ω under which there exists a solution $u_{\lambda }$ blowing up at 0 and satisfying $\lambda {\int }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}a(x)e^{u_{\lambda }}\to 8\pi (N+1)$ as $\lambda \to 0^{+}$.     

Phase transition layers with boundary intersection for an inhomogeneous Allen–Cahn equation

We consider the nonlinear problem of inhomogeneous Allen–Cahn equation

${?}^2\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(y)u(1?u^2)=0\text{in}\mathrm{\Omega },\frac{?u}{?\nu }=0\text{on}?\mathrm{\Omega },$

where Ω is a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ with smooth boundary, ? is a small positive parameter, ν denotes the unit outward normal of ?Ω, V is a positive smooth function on $\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}$. Let Γ be a curve intersecting orthogonally with ?Ω at exactly two points and dividing Ω into two parts. Moreover, Γ satisfies stationary and non-degenerate conditions with respect to the functional ${\int }_{\mathrm{\Gamma }}{V}^{1/2}$. We can prove that there exists a solution $u_{?}$ such that: as $?\to 0$, $u_{?}$ approaches +1 in one part of Ω, while tends to ?1 in the other part, except a small neighborhood of Γ.     

Non-Wieferich primes under the abc conjecture

Assuming the abc conjecture, Silverman proved that, for any given positive integer $a?2$, there are $?\log ?x$ primes $p?x$ such that $a^{p?1}?1(\mathrm{mod}{p}^2)$. In this paper, we show that, for any given integers $a?2$ and $k?2$, there still are $?\log ?x$ primes $p?x$ satisfying $a^{p?1}?1(\mathrm{mod}{p}^2)$ and $p\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}k)$, under the assumption of the abc conjecture. This improves a recent result of Chen and Ding.     

On nonlinear boundary value problem corresponding to N-dimensional inverse spectral problem

We establish a relationship between an inverse optimization spectral problem for the N-dimensional Schrödinger equation $?\mathrm{\Delta }?+q(x)?=\lambda ?$ and a solution of the nonlinear boundary value problem $?\mathrm{\Delta }u+q(x)u=\lambda u?u^{\gamma ?1},u>0,u{|}_{?\mathrm{\Omega }}=0$. Using this relationship, we find an exact solution for the inverse optimization spectral problem, investigate its stability and obtain new results on the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the nonlinear boundary value problem.     

Nash multiplicities and isolated points of maximum multiplicity

Let X be an algebraic variety defined over a field of characteristic zero, and let $\xi \in \underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$ be a point in the closed subset of maximum multiplicity of X. We provide a criterion, given in terms of arcs, to determine whether ξ is isolated in $\underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$. More precisely, we use invariants of arcs derived from the Nash multiplicity sequence to characterize when ξ is an isolated point in $\underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$.     

Exact decay estimate on solutions of critical p-Laplacian equations in R+N

Consider the critical p-Laplacian equation in ${\mathbb{R}}_{+}^N$

$\{\begin{array}{cc}\hfill & ?{\mathrm{\Delta }}_{p}u=0,\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}_{+}^N,\hfill \\ \hfill & |\mathrm{?}u{|}^{p?2}\frac{?u}{?n}=|u{|}^{\stackrel{￣}{p}?2}u,\text{on}{\mathbb{R}}^{N?1},\hfill \end{array}$

where ${\mathbb{R}}_{+}^N={\mathbb{R}}^{N?1}\times (0,\infty )$, $1<p<N,\stackrel{￣}{p}=\frac{(N?1)p}{N?p}$ is the critical exponent of the Sobolev imbedding from $W^{1,p}({\mathbb{R}}_{+}^N)$ to $L^q({\mathbb{R}}^{N?1})$, $p\le q\le \stackrel{￣}{p}$ and ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_p$ is the p-Laplacian operator, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{p}u=\mathrm{?}(|\mathrm{?}u{|}^{p?2}\mathrm{?}u)$. We prove polynomial decay of the solutions

$|u(x)|\le c{(1+|x|)}^{?\frac{N?p}{p?1}},\text{for}x\in {\mathbb{R}}_{+}^N.$

The decay exponent is the best possible.     

A three-dimensional Keller–Segel–Navier–Stokes system with logistic source: Global weak solutions and asymptotic stabilization

The Keller–Segel–Navier–Stokes system

(?)$\{\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill n_t+u?\mathrm{?}n& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{\Delta }n?\chi \mathrm{?}?(n\mathrm{?}c)+\rho n?\mu n^2,\hfill \\ \hfill c_t+u?\mathrm{?}c& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{\Delta }c?c+n,\hfill \\ \hfill u_t+(u?\mathrm{?})u& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{\Delta }u+\mathrm{?}P+n\mathrm{?}?+f(x,t),\hfill \\ \hfill \mathrm{?}?u& \hfill =\hfill & 0,\hfill \end{array}$

is considered in a bounded convex domain $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^3$ with smooth boundary, where $?\in W^{1,\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })$ and $f\in C^1(\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}\times [0,\infty ))$, and where $\chi >0,\rho \in \mathbb{R}$ and $\mu >0$ are given parameters.It is proved that under the assumption that ${\sup }_{t>0}?{\int }_t^{t+1}{6f(?,s)6}_{L^{\frac{6}{5}}(\mathrm{\Omega })}ds$ be finite, for any sufficiently regular initial data $(n_0,c_0,u_0)$ satisfying $n_0\ge 0$ and $c_0\ge 0$, the initial-value problem for (?) under no-flux boundary conditions for n and c and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for u possesses at least one globally defined solution in an appropriate generalized sense, and that this solution is uniformly bounded in with respect to the norm in $L^1(\mathrm{\Omega })\times L^6(\mathrm{\Omega })\times L^2(\mathrm{\Omega };{\mathbb{R}}^3)$.Moreover, under the explicit hypothesis that $\mu >\frac{\chi \sqrt{{\rho }_{+}}}{4}$, these solutions are shown to stabilize toward a spatially homogeneous state in their first two components by satisfying

$\begin{array}{c}(n(?,t),c(?,t))\to (\frac{{\rho }_{+}}{\mu },\frac{{\rho }_{+}}{\mu })\text{in }{L}^1(\mathrm{\Omega })\times L^p(\mathrm{\Omega })\hfill \\ \text{for all }p\in [1,6)\text{as }t\to \infty .\hfill \end{array}$

Finally, under an additional condition on temporal decay of f it is shown that also the third solution component equilibrates in that $u(?,t)\to 0$ in $L^2(\mathrm{\Omega };{\mathbb{R}}^3)$ as $t\to \infty$.     

Lorentz estimates for a class of nonlinear parabolic systems

In this paper we obtain the following local Lorentz estimates

$B\left(\left|F\right|\right)\in L_{loc}^{\gamma ,q}?B\left(\left|\mathrm{?}u\right|\right)\in L_{loc}^{\gamma ,q}\text{for any}\gamma >1\text{and}0<q\le \infty$

of the weak solutions for a class of quasilinear parabolic systems

$u_t?\text{div}\left(a\left(\left|\mathrm{?}u\right|\right)\mathrm{?}u\right)=\text{div}\left(a\left(\left|F\right|\right)F\right),$

where $B(t)={\int }_0^t\tau a(\tau )d\tau$ for $t\ge 0$.     

Remarks about a generalized pseudo-relativistic Hartree equation

With appropriate hypotheses on the nonlinearity f, we prove the existence of a ground state solution u for the problem

${(?\mathrm{\Delta }+m^2)}^{\sigma }u+Vu=(W?F(u))f(u)\text{in }{\mathbb{R}}^N,$

where $0<\sigma <1$, V is a bounded continuous potential and F the primitive of f. We also show results about the regularity of any solution of this problem.
