Multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers on stratified groups

As far as we know, the study of multilinear spectral multipliers on nilpotent Lie groups is a very new research work. There is even no study of Hörmander‐type multiplier theorem for multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers on nilpotent Lie groups. In this paper, on product spaces of stratified groups G = G₁ × ⋯ × G_M, we prove Hörmander‐type multiplier theorems for multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers from to L^r(G) with , from to with , and from to L^r(·)(G) with or for all ℓ = 1,…,N.     

Time‐harmonic and asymptotically linear Maxwell equations in anisotropic media

This paper is focused on following time‐harmonic Maxwell equation: where is a bounded Lipschitz domain, is the exterior normal, and ω is the frequency. The boundary condition holds when Ω is surrounded by a perfect conductor. Assuming that f is asymptotically linear as , we study the above equation by improving the generalized Nehari manifold method. For an anisotropic material with magnetic permeability tensor and permittivity tensor , ground state solutions are established in this paper. Applying the principle of symmetric criticality, we find 2 types of solutions with cylindrical symmetries in particular for the uniaxial material.     

Gradient estimate for solutions of nonlinear singular elliptic equations below the duality exponent

In this paper, we study the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation whose simplest model is where , N≥3 is an open bounded set, θ∈]0,1[, and f belongs to a suitable Morrey space. We will show that the Morrey property of the datum is transmitted to the gradient of a solution.     

A class of vector‐valued dilation‐and‐modulation frames on the half real line

Vector‐valued frames were first introduced under the name of superframes by Balan in the context of signal multiplexing and by Han and Larson from the mathematical aspect. Since then, the wavelet and Gabor frames in have interested many mathematicians. The space models vector‐valued causal signal spaces because of the time variable being nonnegative. But it admits no nontrivial shift‐invariant system and thus no wavelet or Gabor frame since is not a group by addition (not as ). Observing that is a group by multiplication, we, in this paper, introduce a class of multiplication‐based dilation‐and‐modulation ( ) systems, and investigate the theory of frames in . Since is not closed under the Fourier transform, the Fourier transform does not fit . We introduce the notion of Θ_a transform in , and using Θ_a‐transform matrix method, we characterize frames, Riesz bases, and dual frames in and obtain an explicit expression of duals for an arbitrary given frame. An example theorem is also presented.     

Real‐variable characterizations of Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy spaces associated with Schrödinger operators on domains

Let n≥3, Ω be a strongly Lipschitz domain of and L_Ω:=?Δ+V a Schrödinger operator on L²(Ω) with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where Δ is the Laplace operator and the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class for some q₀>n/2. Assume that the growth function satisfies that ?(x,·) is an Orlicz function, (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights) and its uniformly critical lower type index , where and μ₀∈(0,1] denotes the critical regularity index of the heat kernels of the Laplace operator Δ on Ω. In this article, the authors first show that the heat kernels of L_Ω satisfy the Gaussian upper bound estimates and the Hölder continuity. The authors then introduce the ‘geometrical’ Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space via , the Hardy space associated with on , and establish its several equivalent characterizations, respectively, in terms of the non‐tangential or the vertical maximal functions or the Lusin area functions associated with L_Ω. All the results essentially improve the known results even on Hardy spaces with p∈(n/(n + δ),1] (in this case, ?(x,t):=t^p for all x∈Ω and t∈[0,∞)). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An elliptic equation under the effect of two nonlocal terms

The aim of this note is to investigate the existence of signed and sign‐changing solutions to the Kirchhoff type problem (0.1) where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in (N = 1,2,3), a,b > 0 and 2 < p < 2^?, with 2^?=+∞ if N = 1,2 and 2^?=6 if N = 3. Using variational methods, we show that (0.1) possesses three solutions of mountain pass type (one positive, one negative and one sign‐changing) and infinitely many high‐energy sign‐changing solutions.

On decay estimates of the 3D nematic liquid crystal flows in critical Besov spaces

In this paper, we develop the energy argument in homogeneous Besov space framework to study the large time behavior of global‐in‐time strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the three‐dimensional incompressible nematic liquid crystal flows with low regularity assumptions on initial data. More precisely, if the small initial data with 1 < p < ∞ and further assume that with 1 < q≤p and , then the global‐in‐time strong solution (u,d) to the nematic liquid crystal flows admits the following temporal decay rate: Here, is a constant unit vector. The highlight of our argument is to show that the ‐norms (with ) of solution are preserved along time evolution. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Variational approach to solutions for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for the following fractional Hamiltonian systems: ( FHS ) where α ∈ (1 ∕ 2,1), , , and are symmetric and positive definite matrices for all , , and ? W is the gradient of W at u. The novelty of this paper is that, assuming L is coercive at infinity, and W is of subquadratic growth as | u | → + ∞ , we show that (FHS) possesses infinitely many solutions via the genus properties in the critical theory. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer

In this paper, we prove the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer with resolvent parameter , where , and our boundary conditions are nonhomogeneous Neumann on upper boundary and Dirichlet on lower boundary. We want to emphasize that we can choose 0 < ? < π ∕ 2 and γ₀ > 0 arbitrarily, although usual parabolic theorem tells us that we must choose a large γ₀ > 0 for given 0 < ? < π ∕ 2. We also prove the maximal L_p ? L_q regularity theorem of the nonstationary Stokes problem as an application of the ‐boundedness. The key of our approach is to apply several technical lemmas to the exact solution formulas of a resolvent problem. The formulas are obtained through the solutions of the ODEs, in the Fourier space, driven by the partial Fourier transform with respect to tangential space variable .

We prove a fractional Sobolev‐Hardy inequality and use it together with concentration compact theory to get a ground state solution. Moreover, concentration behaviors of nontrivial solutions are obtained when the coefficient of the potential function tends to infinity.

Well‐posedness and unique continuation property for the generalized Ostrovsky equation with low regularity

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem (IVP henceforth) associated with the generalized Ostrovsky equation as follows: with initial data in the modified Sobolev space . Using Fourier restriction norm method, Tao's [k,Z]?multiplier method and the contraction mapping principle, we show that the local well‐posedness is established for the initial data with (k = 2) and is established for the initial data with (k = 3). Using these results and conservation laws, we also prove that the IVP is globally well‐posed for the initial data with s = 0(k = 2,3). Finally, using complex variables technique and Paley–Wiener theorem, we prove the unique continuation property for the IVP benefited from the ideas of Zhang ZY. et al., On the unique continuation property for the modified Kawahara equation, Advances in Mathematics (China), http://advmath.pku.edu.cn/CN/10.11845/sxjz.2014078b .

Positive solutions to semilinear elliptic equations involving a weighted fractional Lapalacian

In this paper, we consider a uniform elliptic nonlocal operator (1) which is a weighted form of fractional Laplacian. We firstly establish three maximum principles for antisymmetric functions with respect to the nonlocal operator. Then, we obtain symmetry, monotonicity, and nonexistence of solutions to some semilinear equations involving the operator on bounded domain, and , by applying direct moving plane methods. Finally, we show the relations between the classical operator  ? Δ and the nonlocal operator in ( 1 ) as α →2. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonlinear diffusion equations as asymptotic limits of Cahn‐Hilliard systems on unbounded domains via Cauchy's criterion

This paper develops an abstract theory for subdifferential operators to give existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial‐boundary problem P for the nonlinear diffusion equation in an unbounded domain ( ), written as which represents the porous media, the fast diffusion equations, etc, where β is a single‐valued maximal monotone function on , and T>0. In Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) existence and uniqueness of solutions for P were directly proved under a growth condition for β even though the Stefan problem was excluded from examples of P . This paper completely removes the growth condition for β by confirming Cauchy's criterion for solutions of the following approximate problem _ε with approximate parameter ε>0: which is called the Cahn‐Hilliard system, even if ( ) is an unbounded domain. Moreover, it can be seen that the Stefan problem excluded from Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) is covered in the framework of this paper.     

Analyticity for a class of nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations arising in interfacial electrohydrodynamics

In this article, we study the analyticity properties of solutions of the nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations, defined on 2π‐periodic intervals, where ν is a positive constant; μ is a nonnegative constant; p is an arbitrary but fixed real number in the interval [3,4); and is an operator defined by its symbol in Fourier space, with be the Hilbert transform. We establish spatial analyticity in a strip around the real axis for the solutions of such equations, which possess universal attractors. Also, a lower bound for the width of the strip of analyticity is obtained.

We study the initial boundary value problem for the one‐dimensional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed in a half line with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Through the analysis of the boundary integral operator, and applying the known results of the Cauchy problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed on the whole line , the initial boundary value problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is shown to be globally well‐posed in Sobolev space for any s >?2.
