On blow-up criteria of smooth solutions to the 3-D Euler equations in a bounded domain

We show that a smooth solution of the 3-D Euler equations in a bounded domain breaks down, if and only if a certain norm of vorticity blows up at the same time. Here this norm is weaker than bmo-norm.     

Reduction and quotient equations for differential equations with symmetries

The method of reduction previously known in the theory of Hamiltonian systems with symmetries is developed in order to obtain exact group-invariant solutions of systems of partial differential equations. This method leads to representations of quotient equations which are very convenient for the systematic analysis of invariant solutions of boundary value problems. In the case of partially invariant solutions, necessary and sufficient conditions of their invariance with respect to subalgebras of symmetry algebras are given. The concept of partial symmetries of differential equations is considered.     

The relaxation-time limit in the compressible Euler–Maxwell equations

The aim of this paper is to study multidimensional Euler–Maxwell equations for plasmas with short momentum relaxation time. The convergence for the smooth solutions to the compressible Euler–Maxwell equations toward the solutions to the smooth solutions to the drift–diffusion equations is proved by means of the Maxwell iteration, as the relaxation time tends to zero. Meanwhile, the formal derivation of the latter from the former is justified.     

Symmetries of compatibility conditions for systems of differential equations

When symmetries of differential equations are applied, various types of associated systems of equations appear. Compatibility conditions of the associated systems expressed in the form of differential equations inherit Lie symmetries of the initial equations. Invariant solutions to compatibility systems are known as orbits of partially invariant and generic solutions involved in the Lie group foliation of differential equations and so on. In some cases Bäcklund transformations and differential substitutions connecting quotient equations for compatibility conditions and initial systems naturally arise. Besides, Ovsiannikov's orbit method for finding partially invariant solutions is essentially based on such symmetries.     

From the dynamics of gaseous stars to the incompressible Euler equations

A model for the dynamics of gaseous stars is introduced and formulated by the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system for compressible, reacting gases. The combined quasineutral and inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system in the torus Tn is investigated. The convergence of the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system to the incompressible Euler equations is proven for the global weak solution and for the case of general initial data.     

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

Energy decay of solutions of maxwell's equations in bounded domains

In this paper the long time asymptotic behavior of solutions of Maxwell's equations in a bounded domain is investigated. A possibly nonlinear damping term arising from the electric conductivity is considered, whith vanishes on some part of the domain     

Nonlinear scattering for some dispersive equations generalizing Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation

The time decay of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations of the typeMu _t+F(u)_x=0 is established using the optimal estimates for the linearized equation and standard techniques from scattering theory.     

Local well-posedness for the homogeneous Euler equations

We introduce Triebel-Lizorkin-Lorentz function spaces, based on the Lorentz L^p,q-spaces instead of the standard L^p-spaces, and prove a local-in-time unique existence and a blow-up criterion of solutions in those spaces for the Euler equations of inviscid incompressible fluid in Rⁿ,n≥2. As a corollary we obtain global existence of solutions to the 2D Euler equations in the Triebel-Lizorkin-Lorentz space. For the proof, we establish the Beale-Kato-Majda type logarithmic inequality and commutator estimates in our spaces. The key methods of proof used are the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and the paradifferential calculus by J.M. Bony.     

On asymptotic behavior of solutions to Korteweg-de Vries type equations related to vortex filament with axial flow

We study the global existence and asymptotic behavior in time of solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries type equation called as “Hirota” equation. This equation is a mixture of cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. We show the unique existence of the solution for this equation which tends to the given “modified” free profile by using the two asymptotic formulae for some oscillatory integrals.     

Asymptotic profiles for wave equations with strong damping

We consider the Cauchy problem in Rⁿ${\mathbf{R}}^n$ for strongly damped wave equations. We derive asymptotic profiles of these solutions with weighted L^1,1(Rⁿ)$L^{1,1}({\mathbf{R}}^n)$ data by using a method introduced in [9] and/or [10].     

Local well-posedness and regularity criterion for the density dependent incompressible Euler equations

In this paper, local well-posedness for the density dependent incompressible Euler equations is established in Besov spaces. We also obtain a blow-up criterion for the corresponding solution.     

A remark about the justification of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in quadratic spatially periodic media

We prove the validity of a technical assumption necessary in a proof of the validity of the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation as envelope equation in quadratic spatially periodic media.      

Existence and asymptotic behavior for elliptic equations with singular anisotropic potentials

We study the equation Δu+u|u|^p−1+V(x)u+f(x)=0 in Rn, where n?3 and p>n/(n−2). The forcing term f and the potential V can be singular at zero, change sign and decay polynomially at infinity. We can consider anisotropic potentials of form h(x)|x|⁻² where h is not purely angular. We obtain solutions u which blow up at the origin and do not belong to any Lebesgue space Lr. Also, u is positive and radial, in case f and V are. Asymptotic stability properties of solutions, their behavior near the singularity, and decay are addressed.     

Justification of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in spatially periodic media

The dynamics of the envelopes of spatially and temporarily oscillating wave packets advancing in spatially periodic media can approximately be described by solutions of a Nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. Here we prove estimates for the error made by this formal approximation using Bloch wave analysis, normal form transformations, and Gronwall’s inequality.     

On the Lagrangian dynamics of the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations

We study the dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations. In particular, by rewriting the system of equations we find that there exists a complex Riccati type of structure in the system on the whole of R³, which generalizes substantially the previous results in [5] (D. Chae, On the blow-up problem for the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations, Nonlinearity 21 (2008) 2053-2060). Using this structure of equations, we deduce the new blow-up criterion that the radial increment of pressure is not consistent with the global regularity of classical solution. We also derive a much more refined version of the Lagrangian dynamics than that of [6] (D. Chae, On the Lagrangian dynamics for the 3D incompressible Euler equations, Comm. Math. Phys. 269 (2) (2007) 557-569) in the case of axisymmetry.
