Unicité des solutions des équations de Navier–Stokes dans les espaces de Morrey–Campanato

In a recent work [P.G. Lemarié-Rieusset, Uniqueness for the Navier–Stokes problem: Remarks on a theorem of Jean-Yves Chemin, Nonlinearity 20 (2007) 1475–1490], P.G. Lemarié-Rieusset proved the uniqueness of solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in the space provided that p>2 and q>d. In this paper, we prove a local version of this result which covers the limit case q=d. Precisely, we prove the uniqueness of solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in the space for every p>2 and r>2 where is the closure of the test functions in the Morrey–Campanato space Mr,d(Rd). The prove of our result relies on an extension of the Comparison Theorem of P.G. Lemarié-Rieusset (Theorem 21.1 in [P.G. Lemarié-Rieusset, Recent developments in the Navier–Stokes problem, Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2002]). Moreover, this extension allows us to prove the uniqueness of solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in a functional space closed to the critical space C([0,T],M2,d(Rd)).     

The second iterate for the Navier-Stokes equation

We consider the iterative resolution scheme for the Navier-Stokes equation, and focus on the second iterate, more precisely on the map from the initial data to the second iterate at a given time t. We investigate boundedness properties of this bilinear operator. This new approach yields very interesting results: a new perspective on Koch-Tataru solutions; a first step towards weak-strong uniqueness for Koch-Tataru solutions; and finally an instability result in , for q>2.     

Regularity criterion of weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations via two velocity components

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion of Leray-Hopf weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with respect to Serrin type condition on two velocity filed components. It is shown that the weak solution u=(u₁,u₂,u₃) is regular on (0,T] if there exist two solution components, for example, u₂ and u₃, satisfying the condition

     

Very weak, generalized and strong solutions to the Stokes system in the half-space

In this paper, we study the Stokes system in the half-space , with N?2. We give existence and uniqueness results in weighted Sobolev spaces. After the central case of the generalized solutions, we are interested in strong solutions and symmetrically in very weak solutions by means of a duality argument.     

Strichartz type estimates for fractional heat equations

We obtain Strichartz estimates for the fractional heat equations by using both the abstract Strichartz estimates of Keel-Tao and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. We also prove an endpoint homogeneous Strichartz estimate via replacing by BMOx(Rn) and a parabolic homogeneous Strichartz estimate. Meanwhile, we generalize the Strichartz estimates by replacing the Lebesgue spaces with either Besov spaces or Sobolev spaces. Moreover, we establish the Strichartz estimates for the fractional heat equations with a time dependent potential of an appropriate integrability. As an application, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of regular solutions in spatial variables for the generalized Navier-Stokes system with Lr(Rn) data.     

Well-posedness of the fourth-order perturbed Schrödinger type equation in non-isotropic Sobolev spaces

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem of the non-isotropically perturbed fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation: ((x₁,x₂,…,xn)∈Rn, t?0), where a is a real constant, 1?d<n is an integer, g(x,|u|)u is a nonlinear function which behaves like α|u|u for some constant α>0. By using Kato method, we prove that this perturbed fourth-order Schrödinger type equation is locally well-posed with initial data belonging to the non-isotropic Sobolev spaces provided that s₁,s₂ satisfy the conditions: s₁?0, s₂?0 for or for with some additional conditions. Furthermore, by using non-isotropic Sobolev inequality and energy method, we obtain some global well-posedness results for initial data belonging to non-isotropic Sobolev spaces .     

Uniqueness and exact multiplicity of solutions for a class of Dirichlet problems

We apply the “monotone separation of graphs” technique of L.A. Peletier and J. Serrin [L.A. Peletier, J. Serrin, Uniqueness of positive solutions of semilinear equations in Rn, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 81 (2) (1983) 181-197; L.A. Peletier, J. Serrin, Uniqueness of nonnegative solutions of semilinear equations in Rn, J. Differential Equations 61 (3) (1986) 380-397], as developed further by L. Erbe and M. Tang [L. Erbe, M. Tang, Structure of positive radial solutions of semilinear elliptic equations, J. Differential Equations 133 (2) (1997) 179-202], to the question of exact multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of semilinear equations on a unit ball in Rn. We also observe that using P. Pucci and J. Serrin [P. Pucci, J. Serrin, Uniqueness of ground states for quasilinear elliptic operators, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 47 (2) (1998) 501-528] improvement of a certain identity of L. Erbe and M. Tang [L. Erbe, M. Tang, Structure of positive radial solutions of semilinear elliptic equations, J. Differential Equations 133 (2) (1997) 179-202] produces a short proof of L. Erbe and M. Tang [L. Erbe, M. Tang, Structure of positive radial solutions of semilinear elliptic equations, J. Differential Equations 133 (2) (1997) 179-202] result on the uniqueness of positive solution of (1<p, )

     

Calderón-Zygmund operators on amalgam spaces and in the discrete case

We prove the boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund operators on weighted amalgam spaces for 1<p,q<∞ with Muckenhoupt weights. To do this, we show the boundedness in the discrete case, i.e. the boundedness on . We also investigate on . As an application we consider an operator related to the Navier-Stokes equation.     

Improved Sobolev inequalities and Muckenhoupt weights on stratified Lie groups

We study in this article the improved Sobolev inequalities with Muckenhoupt weights within the framework of stratified Lie groups. This family of inequalities estimate the Lq norm of a function by the geometric mean of two norms corresponding to Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces . When the value p which characterizes Sobolev space is strictly larger than 1, the required result is well known in Rn and is classically obtained by a Littlewood-Paley dyadic blocks manipulation. For these inequalities we will develop here another totally different technique. When p=1, these two techniques are not available anymore and following M. Ledoux (2003) [12], in Rn, we will treat here the critical case p=1 for general stratified Lie groups in a weighted functional space setting. Finally, we will go a step further with a new generalization of improved Sobolev inequalities using weak-type Sobolev spaces.     

Bi-Sobolev mappings and elliptic equations in the plane

Suppose that f=(u,v) is a homeomorphism in the plane of the Sobolev class such that its inverse is of the same Sobolev class. We prove that u and v have the same set of critical points. As an application we show that u and v are distributional solutions to the same non-trivial degenerate elliptic equation in divergence form. We study similar properties also in higher dimensions.     

New results of general n-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Blow-up criterion of strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in Besov spaces with negative indices

A Hölder type inequality in Besov spaces is established and applied to show that every strong solution u(t,x) on (0,T) of the Navier-Stokes equations can be continued beyond t>T provided that the vorticity for 0<α<1.     

Regularity, monotonicity and symmetry of positive solutions of m-Laplace equations

We consider the Dirichlet problem for positive solutions of the equation −Δ_m(u)=f(u) in a bounded smooth domain Ω, with f locally Lipschitz continuous, and prove some regularity results for weak solutions. In particular when f(s)>0 for s>0 we prove summability properties of , and Sobolev's and Poincaré type inequalities in weighted Sobolev spaces with weight |Du|^m−2. The point of view of considering |Du|^m−2 as a weight is particularly useful when studying qualitative properties of a fixed solution. In particular, exploiting these new regularity results we can prove a weak comparison principle for the solutions and, using the well known Alexandrov-Serrin moving plane method, we then prove a general monotonicity (and symmetry) theorem for positive solutions u of the Dirichlet problem in bounded (and symmetric in one direction) domains when f(s)>0 for s>0 and m>2. Previously, results of this type in general bounded (and symmetric) domains had been proved only in the case 1<m<2.     

Fractional smoothness for the generalized local time of the indefinite Skorohod integral

Let be the indefinite Skorohod integral on Wiener space (Ω,H,P), and let Lt(x) be its the generalized local time introduced by Tudor in [C.A. Tudor, Martingale-type stochastic calculus for anticipating integral processes, Bernoulli 10 (2004) 313-325]. We prove that the generalized local time, as a nonlinear functional of ω, is in the fractional Sobolev spaces Dα,p ( and p>2) under some conditions imposed on the anticipating integrand u via the technique of Malliavin calculus and the K-method in the real interpolation theory. The result is optimal for the fractional Brownian motion with the Hurst parameter .     

Regularity criterion of axisymmetric weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the regularity of axisymmetric weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R³. Let u be an axisymmetric weak solution in R³×(0,T), w=curlu, and wθ be the azimuthal component of w in the cylindrical coordinates. Chae-Lee [D. Chae, J. Lee, On the regularity of axisymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Math. Z. 239 (2002) 645-671] proved the regularity of weak solutions under the condition wθ∈Lq(0,T;Lr), with , . We deal with the marginal case r=∞ which they excluded. It is proved that u becomes a regular solution if .     

Refined limiting imbeddings for Sobolev spaces of vector-valued functions

We prove a refined limiting imbedding theorem of the Brézis-Wainger type in the first critical case, i.e. , for Sobolev spaces and Bessel potential spaces of functions with values in a general Banach space E. In particular, the space E may lack the UMD property.     

Remark on uniqueness of mild solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We investigate a limiting uniqueness criterion to the Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that the mild solution is unique under the class , where bmo^-1 is the “critical” space including Lⁿ. As an application of uniqueness theorem, we also consider the local well-posedness of Navier-Stokes equations in bmo^-1.     

Matrix $$\mathcal {A}_p$$ Weights,Degenerate Sobolev Spaces,and Mappings of Finite Distortion

We study degenerate Sobolev spaces where the degeneracy is controlled by a matrix \(\mathcal {A}_p\) weight. This class of weights was introduced by Nazarov, Treil and Volberg, and degenerate Sobolev spaces with matrix weights have been considered by several authors for their applications to PDEs. We prove that the classical Meyers–Serrin theorem, \(H=W\), holds in this setting. As applications we prove partial regularity results for weak solutions of degenerate p-Laplacian equations, and in particular for mappings of finite distortion.     

Weighted differentiation composition operators from mixed-norm spaces to weighted-type spaces

Motivated by the recent paper [X. Zhu, Products of differentiation composition and multiplication from Bergman type spaces to Bers spaces, Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 18 (3) (2007) 223-231], we study the boundedness and compactness of the weighted differentiation composition operator , where u is a holomorphic function on the unit disk D, φ is a holomorphic self-map of D and n∈N₀, from the mixed-norm space H(p, q, ?), where p,q > 0 and ? is normal, to the weighted-type space or the little weighted-type space . For the case of the weighted Bergman space , p > 1, some bounds for the essential norm of the operator are also given.
