Existence and uniqueness for a nonlinear parabolic/Hamilton–Jacobi coupled system describing the dynamics of dislocation densities

We study a mathematical model describing the dynamics of dislocation densities in crystals. This model is expressed as a 1D system of a parabolic equation and a first order Hamilton–Jacobi equation that are coupled together. We examine an associated Dirichlet boundary value problem. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a viscosity solution among those assuming a lower-bound on their gradient for all time including the initial time. Moreover, we show the existence of a viscosity solution when we have no such restriction on the initial data. We also state a result of existence and uniqueness of entropy solution for the initial value problem of the system obtained by spatial derivation. The uniqueness of this entropy solution holds in the class of bounded-from-below solutions. In order to prove our results on the bounded domain, we use an “extension and restriction” method, and we exploit a relation between scalar conservation laws and Hamilton–Jacobi equations, mainly to get our gradient estimates.     

Existence and uniqueness of positive radial solutions for the Lane–Emden system

In this article, we consider (component-wise) positive radial solutions of a weakly coupled system of elliptic equations in a ball with homogeneous nonlinearities. The existence is well-known in general: We give a result for the remaining cases. The uniqueness is less studied: We complement the known results.     

Global solutions and self‐similar solutions for coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness for the global solutions of Cauchy problem for coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations and obtain the continuous dependence result on the initial data and the stronger decay estimate of global solutions. In particular, we show the existence and uniqueness of self‐similar solutions. Also, we build some asymptotically self‐similar solutions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A fractal graph model of capillary type systems

Abstract

We consider blood flow in a vessel with an attached capillary system. The latter is modelled with the help of a corresponding fractal graph whose edges are supplied with ordinary differential equations obtained by the dimension-reduction procedure from a three-dimensional model of blood flow in thin vessels. The Kirchhoff transmission conditions must be satisfied at each interior vertex. The geometry and physical parameters of this system are described by a finite number of scaling factors which allow the system to have self-reproducing solutions. Namely, these solutions are determined by the factors’ values on a certain fragment of the fractal graph and are extended to its rest part by virtue of these scaling factors. The main result is the existence and uniqueness of self-reproducing solutions, whose dependence on the scaling factors of the fractal graph is also studied. As a corollary we obtain a relation between the pressure and flux at the junction, where the capillary system is attached to the blood vessel. This relation leads to the Robin boundary condition at the junction and this condition allows us to solve the problem for the flow in the blood vessel without solving it for the attached capillary system.     

Multidimensional Markovian FBSDEs with super-quadratic growth

We give local and global existence and uniqueness results for multidimensional coupled FBSDEs for generators with arbitrary growth in the control variable. The local existence result is based on Malliavin calculus arguments for Markovian equations. Under additional monotonicity conditions on the generator we construct global solutions by a pasting technique along PDE solutions.     

A convergent scheme for a non-local coupled system modelling dislocations densities dynamics

In this paper, we study a non-local coupled system that arises in the theory of dislocations densities dynamics. Within the framework of viscosity solutions, we prove a long time existence and uniqueness result for the solution of this model. We also propose a convergent numerical scheme and we prove a Crandall-Lions type error estimate between the continuous solution and the numerical one. As far as we know, this is the first error estimate of Crandall-Lions type for Hamilton-Jacobi systems. We also provide some numerical simulations.

     

Strong solutions for two-dimensional nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes systems

A well-known diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids consists of the Navier–Stokes system coupled with a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation. In some recent contributions the standard Cahn–Hilliard equation has been replaced by its nonlocal version. The corresponding system is physically more relevant and mathematically more challenging. Indeed, the only known results are essentially the existence of a global weak solution and the existence of a suitable notion of global attractor for the corresponding dynamical system defined without uniqueness. In fact, even in the two-dimensional case, uniqueness of weak solutions is still an open problem. Here we take a step forward in the case of regular potentials. First we prove the existence of a (unique) strong solution in two dimensions. Then we show that any weak solution regularizes in finite time uniformly with respect to bounded sets of initial data. This result allows us to deduce that the global attractor is the union of all the bounded complete trajectories which are strong solutions. We also demonstrate that each trajectory converges to a single equilibrium, provided that the potential is real analytic and the external forces vanish.     

Existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a system applied to image decomposition

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a singular evolutionary system, which is deduced from a model for image decomposition combining staircase reduction and texture extraction. The main method we used is p-Laplace regularization. The numerical experimental result shows the efficiency of this kind of model.     

On the existence and uniqueness of solutions to FBSDEs in a non-degenerate case

We prove a result of existence and uniqueness of solutions to forward–backward stochastic differential equations, with non-degeneracy of the diffusion matrix and boundedness of the coefficients as functions of x as main assumptions.This result is proved in two steps. The first part studies the problem of existence and uniqueness over a small enough time duration, whereas the second one explains, by using the connection with quasi-linear parabolic system of PDEs, how we can deduce, from this local result, the existence and uniqueness of a solution over an arbitrarily prescribed time duration. Improving this method, we obtain a result of existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to non-degenerate quasi-linear parabolic systems of PDEs.This approach relaxes the regularity assumptions required on the coefficients by the Four-Step scheme.     

On Nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes Systems in Two Dimensions

We consider a diffuse interface model which describes the motion of an incompressible isothermal mixture of two immiscible fluids. This model consists of the Navier–Stokes equations coupled with a convective nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equation. Several results were already proven by two of the present authors. However, in the two-dimensional case, the uniqueness of weak solutions was still open. Here we establish such a result even in the case of degenerate mobility and singular potential. Moreover, we show the weak–strong uniqueness in the case of viscosity depending on the order parameter, provided that either the mobility is constant and the potential is regular or the mobility is degenerate and the potential is singular. In the case of constant viscosity, on account of the uniqueness results, we can deduce the connectedness of the global attractor whose existence was obtained in a previous paper. The uniqueness technique can be adapted to show the validity of a smoothing property for the difference of two trajectories which is crucial to establish the existence of an exponential attractor. The latter is established even in the case of variable viscosity, constant mobility and regular potential.     

Optimal boundary controls for a phase field model

The phase field model is a nonlinear system of parabolic equationswhich describes the phase transitions between two differentphases, e.g. solid and liquid. In this paper, we consider ageneral optimal boundary control problem which is governed bythis model. The existence of the solutions of the phase fieldmodel is established by a rigorous analysis of the method oflines. The existence of the optimal solutions and the necessaryconditions for optimality are proved. For a special unconstrainedboundary control problem, we also prove some results concerningthe uniqueness of the optimal solutions. For a special constrainedboundary control problem, we obtain a result concerning thebang-bang principle.     

Asymptotic Compactness and Attractors for Phase-Field Equations in ℝ3

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the phase-field system on an unbounded domain. We do not assume conditions on the non-linear term ensuring the uniqueness of the Cauchy problem, so that we have to work with multivalued semiflows rather than with semigroups of operators. In this way we prove the existence of a global attractor by considering the convergence in an appropriate weighted space. This result is also new for more restrictive conditions, which guarantee the uniqueness of solutions.     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions to a model describing miscible liquids

The existence and the uniqueness of solutions to a problem of miscible liquids are investigated in this note. The model consists of Navier–Stokes equations with Korteweg stress terms coupled with the reaction–diffusion equation for the concentration. We assume that the fluid is incompressible and the Boussinesq approximation is adopted. The global existence and uniqueness of solutions is established for some optimal conditions on the reaction source term and the external force functions.     

Well-posedness of a kind of nonlinear coupled system of fractional differential equations

We study the boundary value problem of a coupled differential system of fractional order, and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the considered problem. The underlying differential system is featured by a fractional differential operator, which is defined in the Riemann-Liouville sense, and a nonlinear term in which different solution components are coupled. The analysis is based on the reduction of the given system to an equivalent system of integral equations. By means of the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder, the existence of solutions of the factional differential system is obtained. The uniqueness is established by using the Banach contraction principle.     

A random attractor for a stochastic second order lattice system with random coupled coefficients

In this paper, we mainly focus on the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second-order stochastic lattice equations with random coupled coefficients and multiplicative white noises in weighted spaces of infinite sequences. We first transfer stochastic lattice equations into random lattice equations and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions which generate a random dynamical system. Second we consider the existence of a tempered random bounded absorbing set and a random attractor for the system. Then we establish the upper semicontinuity of random attractors as the coefficient of the white noise term tends to zero. Finally we present the corresponding results for the system with additive white noises.     

Smoothing estimates of 2d incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in bounded domains with applications

Motivated by the study on the uniqueness problem of the coupled model, in this paper, we revisit 2d incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in bounded domains. In fact, we establish some new smoothing estimates to the Leray solution based on the spectral analysis of Stokes operator. To understand well these estimates, on one hand, we establish some new Brezis–Waigner type inequalities in general domain and in any dimension and disclose the connection between both of them. On the other hand, we show that these new estimates can be applied to prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solutions for two coupled models: Boussinesq system with partial viscosity (no dissipation for the temperature) and Fluid/Particle system, in two dimension and in bounded domains.
