Asymptotics of Small Exterior Navier-Stokes Flows with Non-Decaying Boundary Data

We prove the existence of unique solutions for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in an exterior domain with small boundary data which do not necessarily decay in time. As a corollary, the existence of unique small time-periodic solutions is shown. We next show that the spatial asymptotics of the periodic solution is given by the same Landau solution at all times. Lastly we show that if the boundary datum is time-periodic and the initial datum is asymptotically self-similar, then the solution converges to the sum of a time-periodic vector field and a forward self-similar vector field as time goes to infinity.     

On the uniqueness of time-periodic solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in unbounded domains

We present a uniqueness theorem for time-periodic solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in unbounded domains. Thus far, results on the uniqueness of time-periodic solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in unbounded domain, roughly speaking, have only found that a small time-periodic L ⁿ -solution is unique within the class of solutions which have sufficiently small L ^∞(L ⁿ )-norm. In this paper, we show that a small time-periodic L ⁿ -solution is unique within the class of all time-periodic L ⁿ -solutions, which contains large solutions. We also consider the uniqueness of solutions in weak-L ⁿ space. The proof of the present uniqueness theorem is based on the method of dual equations.

On the Structure of Spectra of Modulated Travelling Waves

Modulated travelling waves are solutions to reaction-diffusion equations that are time-periodic in an appropriate moving coordinate frame. They may arise through Hopf bifurcations or essential instabilities from pulses o fronts. In this article, a framework for the stability analysis of such solutions is presented: the reaction-diffusion equation is cast as an ill-posed elliptic dynamical system in the spatial variable acting upon time-periodic functions. Using this formulation, points in the esolvent set, the point spectrum, and the essential spectrum of the linearization about a modulated travelling wave are related to the existence of exponential dichotomies on appopriate intervals for the associated spatial elliptic eigenvalue problem. Fredholm properties of the linearized operator are characterized by a relative Morse-Floe index of the elliptic equation. These results are proved without assumptions on the asymptotic shape of the wave. Analogous results are true for the spectra of travelling waves to parabolic equations on unbounded cylinders. As an application, we study the existence and stability of modulated spatially-periodic patterns with long-wavelength that accompany modulated pulses.     

Multiplicity of time-periodic solutions and their stabilities for quasigeostrophic equations

We also prove the exponential decaying of solutions to the initial value problem with small initial data.     

Bifurcating time-periodic solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in infinite cylinders

Summary For the problem of hydrodynamical stability in an infinite cylindrical domain, we investigate all time-periodic solutions, not only spatially periodic ones, when a Hopf bifurcation occurs. When reflection symmetry is present, we show the existence of spatially quasiperiodic flows. We also show the existence of heteroclinic solutions connecting two symmetrically traveling waves that stay at each end of the cylinders (defect solutions). The technique we use rests on (i) a center manifold argument in a space of time-periodic vector fields, (ii) symmetry and normal form arguments for the reduced ordinary differential equation in two dimensions (without reflection symmetry) or in four dimensions (with reflection symmetry), and (iii) the integrability of the associated normal form. It then remains to prove a persistence result when we add the higher-order terms of the vector field.     

Existence of periodic weak solutions to the three-dimensional nonlinear viscoelastic system

In this paper, we discuss the time-periodic solutions to a general three-dimensional nonlinear viscoelastic system with Dirichlet boundary condition. Employing the singularity of the integral kernel, we obtain the energy estimates in Sobolev spaces with fractional index and then show the existence of time-periodic solutions to the problem for viscoelastic solid and liquid models, respectively.

Furthermore, we also show the asymptotic stability of small time-periodic solutions provided the initial disturbance is sufficiently small.     

Forced oscillations of nonlinear damped equation of suspended string

We shall study the existence of time-periodic solutions of nonlinear damped equation of suspended string to which a periodic nonlinear force works. We shall be conterned with weak, strong and classical time-periodic solutions and also the regularity of the solutions. To formulate our results, we shall take suitable weighted Sobolev-type spaces introduced by [M. Yamaguchi, Almost periodic oscillations of suspended string under quasiperiodic linear force, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 303 (2) (2005) 643-660; M. Yamaguchi, Infinitely many time-periodic solutions of nonlinear equation of suspended string, Funkcial. Ekvac., in press]. We shall study properties of the function spaces and show inequalities on the function spaces. To show our results we shall apply the Schauder fixed point theorem and the fixed point continuation theorem in the function spaces.

Energy method for multi-dimensional balance laws with non-local dissipation

In this paper, we are concerned with a class of multi-dimensional balance laws with a non-local dissipative source which arise as simplified models for the hydrodynamics of radiating gases. At first we introduce the energy method in the setting of smooth perturbations and study the stability of constants states. Precisely, we use Fourier space analysis to quantify the energy dissipation rate and recover the optimal time-decay estimates for perturbed solutions via an interpolation inequality in Fourier space. As application, the developed energy method is used to prove stability of smooth planar waves in all dimensions n?2, and also to show existence and stability of time-periodic solutions in the presence of the time-periodic source. Optimal rates of convergence of solutions towards the planar waves or time-periodic states are also shown provided initially L¹-perturbations.     

On the solvability of a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation at resonance

Turing Instabilities at Hopf Bifurcation

Turing–Hopf instabilities for reaction-diffusion systems provide spatially inhomogeneous time-periodic patterns of chemical concentrations. In this paper we suggest a way for deriving asymptotic expansions to the limit cycle solutions due to a Hopf bifurcation in two-dimensional reaction systems and we use them to build convenient normal modes for the analysis of Turing instabilities of the limit cycle. They extend the Fourier modes for the steady state in the classical Turing approach, as they include time-periodic fluctuations induced by the limit cycle. Diffusive instabilities can be properly considered because of the non-catastrophic loss of stability that the steady state shows while the limit cycle appears. Moreover, we shall see that instabilities may appear even though the diffusion coefficients are equal. The obtained normal modes suggest that there are two possible ways, one weak and the other strong, in which the limit cycle generates oscillatory Turing instabilities near a Turing–Hopf bifurcation point. In the first case slight oscillations superpose over a dominant steady inhomogeneous pattern. In the second, the unstable modes show an intermittent switching between complementary spatial patterns, producing the effect known as twinkling patterns.     

Coexistence and Asymptotic Periodicity in a Competition Model of Plankton Allelopathy

In this paper, the two species Lotka-Volterra competition model of plankton allelopathy from aquatic ecology is discussed. The authors study the existence of solutions to a strongly coupled elliptic system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and consider the existence, stability and global attractivity of time-periodic solutions for a coupled parabolic equations in a bounded domain. Their results show that this model possesses at least one coexistence state if cross-diffusions and self-diffusions are weak. The existence of the positive T-periodic solutions and the global stability as well as the global attractivity for the parabolic system are also given.     

Centre Manifold Reduction for Quasilinear Discrete Systems

Summary. We study the dynamics of quasilinear mappings in Hilbert spaces in the neighbourhood of a fixed point. The linearized map is a closed unbounded operator and thus the initial value problem is ill-posed. Under suitable spectral assumptions, we show that all solutions staying in some neighbourhood of the fixed point lie on an invariant centre manifold. We apply this result to the study of time-periodic oscillations of a class of infinite one-dimensional Hamiltonian lattices. In this context, our approach provides a mathematically justified and corrected version of the rotating-wave approximation method. The equations are viewed as recurrence relations in the discrete space coordinate, where the fixed point corresponds to the oscillators at rest. These problems yield finite-dimensional centre manifolds and thus can be locally reduced to the study of finite-dimensional mappings. In particular, we consider the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice, which describes a chain of nonlinearly coupled particles. When the frequency of solutions is close to the highest normal mode frequency, the reduction yields a two-dimensional reversible mapping. For interaction potentials satisfying a hardening condition, the reduced mapping admits homoclinic orbits to 0 which correspond to FPU ``breathers' (time-periodic and spatially localized oscillations).     

Smooth solutions to a class of quasilinear wave equations

This article investigates the existence/nonexistence of smooth solutions of nonlinear vibration equations which arise from the one-dimensional motion of polytropic gas without external forces contained in a finite interval. For any fixed arbitrarily long time, we show that there are smooth small amplitude solutions of the nonlinear equations for which the periodic solutions of the linearized equation are the first-order approximations. On the other hand, when the nonlinearity is strictly convex or concave, there exists no time-periodic solutions which are twice continuously differentiable. An example of possible singularities which occur at the second derivatives is illustrated. We also give another kind of exact solutions with singularity such that shocks occur after a finite time. Furthermore, we get an estimate of the life span of smooth solutions to the initial-boundary value problem.     

Strong solutions of periodic parabolic problems with discontinuous nonlinearities

We study the problem of finding time-periodic solutions of a parabolic equation with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and with a discontinuous nonlinearity. We assume that the nonlinearity is equal to the difference of two superpositionally measurable functions nondecreasing with respect to the state variable. For such a problem, we prove the principle of lower and upper solutions for the existence of strong solutions without additional constraints on the “jumping-up” discontinuities in the nonlinearity. We obtain existence theorems for strong solutions of this class of problems, including theorems on the existence of two nontrivial solutions.
