Stability to the global large solutions of 3-D Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we consider the stability to the global large solutions of 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the anisotropic Sobolev spaces. In particular, we proved that for any , given a global large solution v∈C([0,∞);H0,s₀(R³)∩L³(R³)) of (1.1) with and a divergence free vector satisfying for some sufficiently small constant depending on , v, and , (1.1) supplemented with initial data v(0)+w₀ has a unique global solution in u∈C([0,∞);H0,s₀(R³)) with ∇u∈L²(R⁺,H0,s₀(R³)). Furthermore, uh is close enough to vh in C([0,∞);H0,s(R³)).     

Nontrivial solutions for perturbations of a Hardy-Sobolev operator on unbounded domains

In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solution of the problem −Δ_pu−(μ/[d(x)]^p)|u|^p−2u=f(u) in Ω and u=0 on ∂Ω, where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in Existence is established using mountain-pass lemma and concentration of compactness principle.     

On the differentiability of very weak solutions with right-hand side data integrable with respect to the distance to the boundary

We study the differentiability of very weak solutions v∈L¹(Ω) of ₀(v,L^?φ)=₀(f,φ) for all vanishing at the boundary whenever f is in L¹(Ω,δ), with δ=dist(x,∂Ω), and L^* is a linear second order elliptic operator with variable coefficients. We show that our results are optimal. We use symmetrization techniques to derive the regularity in Lorentz spaces or to consider the radial solution associated to the increasing radial rearrangement function of f.     

On the ideal structure of some Banach algebras related to convolution operators on L(G)

Let G be a locally compact group and let p∈(1,∞). Let be any of the Banach spaces C_δ,p(G), PF_p(G), M_p(G), AP_p(G), WAP_p(G), UC_p(G), PM_p(G), of convolution operators on L^p(G). It is shown that PF_p(G)′ can be isometrically embedded into UC_p(G)′. The structure of maximal regular ideals of (and of MA_p(G)″, B_p(G)″, W_p(G)″) is studied. Among other things it is shown that every maximal regular left (right, two sided) ideal in is either dense or is the annihilator of a unique element in the spectrum of A_p(G). Minimal ideals of is also studied. It is shown that a left ideal M in is minimal if and only if , where Ψ is either a right annihilator of or is a topologically x-invariant element (for some x∈G). Some results on minimal right ideals are also given.     

Strong continuity of generalized Feynman-Kac semigroups: Necessary and sufficient conditions

Let (E,D(E)) be a strongly local, quasi-regular symmetric Dirichlet form on L²(E;m) and ((Xt)_t?0,(Px)_x∈E) the diffusion process associated with (E,D(E)). For u∈De(E), u has a quasi-continuous version and has Fukushima's decomposition: , where is the martingale part and is the zero energy part. In this paper, we study the strong continuity of the generalized Feynman-Kac semigroup defined by , t?0. Two necessary and sufficient conditions for to be strongly continuous are obtained by considering the quadratic form (Qu,Db(E)), where Qu(f,f):=E(f,f)+E(u,f²) for f∈Db(E), and the energy measure μ〈u〉 of u, respectively. An example is also given to show that is strongly continuous when μ〈u〉 is not a measure of the Kato class but of the Hardy class with the constant (cf. Definition 4.5).     

A new transformation of Burger’s equation for an exact solution in a bounded region necessary for certain boundary conditions

In this work, the transient analytic solution is found for the initial-boundary-value Burgers equation in 0?x?L. The boundary conditions are a homogeneous Dirichlet condition at x=0 and a constant total flux at x=L. The technique used consists of applying the transformation that reduces Burgers equation to a linear diffusion-advection equation. Previous work on this equation in a bounded region has only applied the Cole-Hopf transformation , which transforms Burgers equation to the linear diffusion equation. The Cole-Hopf transformation can only solve Burgers equation with constant Dirichlet boundary conditions, or time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions of the form u(0,t)=F₁(t) and u(L,t)=F₂(t),0?x?L. In this work, it is shown that the Cole-Hopf transformation will not solve Burgers equation in a bounded region with the boundary conditions dealt with in this work.     

On an inhomogeneous slip-inflow boundary value problem for a steady flow of a viscous compressible fluid in a cylindrical domain

We investigate a steady flow of a viscous compressible fluid with inflow boundary condition on the density and inhomogeneous slip boundary conditions on the velocity in a cylindrical domain Ω=Ω₀×(0,L)∈R³. We show existence of a solution , p>3, where v is the velocity of the fluid and ρ is the density, that is a small perturbation of a constant flow (, ). We also show that this solution is unique in a class of small perturbations of . The term u⋅∇w in the continuity equation makes it impossible to show the existence applying directly a fixed point method. Thus in order to show existence of the solution we construct a sequence (vn,ρn) that is bounded in and satisfies the Cauchy condition in a larger space L_∞(0,L;L₂(Ω₀)) what enables us to deduce that the weak limit of a subsequence of (vn,ρn) is in fact a strong solution to our problem.     

A supplement to precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm

Let be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0 and E(X²)=1, and set , n?1. This paper studies the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. For example, using a result on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for obtained by Li et al. [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 15 (1992) 481-497], we prove that, for every b∈(−1/2,1],

     

Strong asymptotic convergence of evolution equations governed by maximal monotone operators with Tikhonov regularization

We consider the Tikhonov-like dynamics where A is a maximal monotone operator on a Hilbert space and the parameter function ε(t) tends to 0 as t→∞ with . When A is the subdifferential of a closed proper convex function f, we establish strong convergence of u(t) towards the least-norm minimizer of f. In the general case we prove strong convergence towards the least-norm point in A⁻¹(0) provided that the function ε(t) has bounded variation, and provide a counterexample when this property fails.     

C-Weierstrass for compact sets in Hilbert space

The C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for any compact subset X of a Hilbert space . The same theorem is also proved for Whitney 1-jets on X when X satisfies the following further condition: There exist finite dimensional linear subspaces such that ?_n?1H_n is dense in and π_n(X)=X∩H_n for each n?1. Here, is the orthogonal projection. It is also shown that when X is compact convex with and satisfies the above condition, then C¹(X) is complete if and only if the C¹-Whitney extension theorem holds for X. Finally, for compact subsets of , an extension of the C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for C¹ maps with compact derivatives.
