Bifurcations and distribution of limit cycles which appear from two nests of periodic orbits

In this paper, we study the distribution and simultaneous bifurcation of limit cycles bifurcated from the two periodic annuli of the holomorphic differential equation , after a small polynomial perturbation. We first show that, under small perturbations of the form , where is a polynomial of degree 2m−1 in which the power of z is odd and the power of is even, the only possible distribution of limit cycles is (u,u) for all values of u=0,1,2,…,m−3. Hence, the sharp upper bound for the number of limit cycles bifurcated from each two period annuli of is m−3, for m≥4. Then we consider a perturbation of the form , where is a polynomial of degree m in which the power of z is odd and obtain the upper bound m−5, for m≥6. Moreover, we show that the distribution (u,v) of limit cycles is possible for 0≤u≤m−5, 0≤v≤m−5 with u+v≤m−2 and m≥9.     

Liouville theorems for quasi-harmonic functions

Let N be a compact Riemannian manifold. A self-similar solution for the heat flow is a harmonic map from to N (n≥3), which was also called a quasi-harmonic sphere (cf. Lin and Wang (1999) [1]). (Here is the Euclidean metric in .) It arises from the blow-up analysis of the heat flow at a singular point. When and without the energy constraint, we call this a quasi-harmonic function. In this paper, we prove that there is neither a nonconstant positive quasi-harmonic function nor a nonconstant quasi-harmonic function. However, for all 1≤p≤n/(n−2), there exists a nonconstant quasi-harmonic function in .     

Characterizations of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces via maximal functions and local means

Let s∈R. In this paper, the authors first establish the maximal function characterizations of the Besov-type space with and τ∈[0,∞), the Triebel-Lizorkin-type space with p∈(0,∞), q∈(0,∞] and τ∈[0,∞), the Besov-Hausdorff space with p∈(1,∞), q∈[1,∞) and and the Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff space with and , where t^′ denotes the conjugate index of t∈[1,∞]. Using this characterization, the authors further obtain the local mean characterizations of these function spaces via functions satisfying the Tauberian condition and establish a Fourier multiplier theorem on these spaces. All these results generalize the existing classical results on Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces by taking τ=0 and are also new even for Q spaces and Hardy-Hausdorff spaces.

Well-posedness and ill-posedness for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation

In this paper we establish a new bilinear estimate in suitable Bourgain spaces by using a fundamental estimate on dyadic blocks for the Kawahara equation which was obtained by the [k;Z] multiplier norm method of Tao (2001) [2]; then the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation in with is obtained by the Fourier restriction norm method. And some ill-posedness in with is derived from a general principle of Bejenaru and Tao.

Moreover, we obtain the decay of v(t,x), an isocapacitary inequality and a trace inequality.

Superlinear elliptic equations with singular coefficients on the boundary

In this paper, a superlinear elliptic equation whose coefficient diverges on the boundary is studied in any bounded domain Ω under the zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Although the equation has a singularity on the boundary, a solution is smooth on the closure of the domain. Indeed, it is proved that the problem has a positive solution and infinitely many solutions without positivity, which belong to or . Moreover, it is proved that a positive solution has a higher order regularity up to .

We take up the existence and global behavior of positive continuous solutions of the following nonlinear parabolic equation in (n?2) with boundary conditions u=0 on and u(x,0)=u₀(x). The nonlinear term is required to satisfy some conditions related to a functional class , which we introduce in this paper and will be called parabolic Kato class in the half space. Our approach is based on potential theory.

Asymptotic behavior for the Stokes flow and Navier-Stokes equations in half spaces

Using the solution formula in Ukai (1987) [27] for the Stokes equations, we find asymptotic profiles of solutions in (n?2) for the Stokes flow and non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations. Since the projection operator is unbounded, we use a decomposition for P(u⋅∇u) to overcome the difficulty, and prove that the decay rate for the first derivatives of the strong solution u of the Navier-Stokes system in is controlled by for any t>0.
