Existence and uniqueness of solutions of sequential nonlinear fractional difference equations with three‐point fractional sum boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider a discrete fractional boundary value problem of the form: where 0 < α,β≤1, 1 < α + β≤2, λ and ρ are constants, γ > 0, , is a continuous function, and E_βx(t) = x(t + β ? 1). The existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved by using Banach's fixed point theorem. An illustrative example is also presented. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonlinear oscillation of second‐order neutral dynamic equations with distributed delay

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear oscillation of the following second‐order neutral delay dynamic equations with distributed delay on a time scale , where Z(t) = x(t) + p(t)x(τ(t)),α,β > 0 are constants. By using some new techniques, we obtain oscillation criteria for the equation when β > α,β = α, and β < α, respectively. Those results established here complete and develop the oscillation criteria in the literature. Also, our main results are illustrated with some examples.

Global existence of classical solutions to two‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with Cauchy data containing vacuum

In this paper, the Cauchy problem to the two‐dimensional isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with smooth initial data containing vacuum is investigated. If the initial data are of small energy but possibly large oscillations, we obtain the global well‐posedness of classical solutions in the case of initially nonvacuum far fields. In particular, the smallness of the energy only depends on the norm of the initial velocity, where β can be arbitrary close to 0. In the case of compactly supported initial density, a blow‐up example is given. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global existence and optimal decay rates of solutions to conservation laws with diffusion‐type terms

We consider the Cauchy problem on nonlinear scalar conservation laws with a diffusion‐type source term. Based on a low‐frequency and high‐frequency decomposition, Green's function method and the classical energy method, we not only obtain L² time‐decay estimates but also establish the global existence of solutions to Cauchy problem when the initial data u₀(x) satisfies the smallness condition on , but not on . Furthermore, by taking a time‐frequency decomposition, we obtain the optimal decay estimates of solutions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Strong solutions of 3D compressible Oldroyd‐B fluids

This paper is concerned with a compressible viscoelastic fluids of Oldroyd‐B type. We prove the existence of unique local strong solutions for all initial data satisfying some compatibility condition. Moreover, we establish a blow‐up criterion for the strong solution in terms of the norm of the density tensor ρ and the norm of the symmetric tensor of constraints τ. All the results hold for the initial density vanishing from below. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The existence of at least one solution is proved by using Banach fixed point theorem and Schaefer's fixed point theorem. Some illustrative examples are also presented.

Liouville‐type theorem for the steady compressible Hall‐MHD system

In this paper, we prove a Liouville‐type theorem for the steady compressible Hall‐magnetohydrodynamics system in Π, where Π is whole space or half space . We show that a smooth solution (ρ, u , B ,P) satisfying 1/C₀<ρ<C₀, , and B ∈L^9/2(Π) for some constant C₀>0 is indeed trivial. This generalizes and improves 2 results of Chae.     

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.

Multiplicity and symmetry results for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non‐local regional diffusion

In this paper, we are interested in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non‐local regional diffusion (1) where 0 < α < 1 and is a variational version of the regional Laplacian, whose range of scope is a ball with radius ρ(x) > 0. The novelty of this paper is that, assuming f is of subquadratic growth as |u|→+∞, we show that 1 possesses infinitely many solutions via the genus properties in critical point theory. Furthermore, if f(x,u) = γa(x)|u|^{γ ? 1}, where is a nonincreasing radially symmetric function, then the solution of 1 is radially symmetric. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence and asymptotic behavior to the incompressible nematic liquid crystal flow in the whole space

In this article, first of all, the global existence and asymptotic stability of solutions to the incompressible nematic liquid crystal flow is investigated when initial data are a small perturbation near the constant steady state (0,δ₀); here, δ₀ is a constant vector with |δ₀|=1. Precisely, we show the existence and asymptotic stability with small initial data for . The initial data class of us is not entirely included in the space BMO^?1×BMO and contains strongly singular functions and measures. As an application, we obtain a class of asymptotic existence of a basin of attraction for each self‐similar solution with homogeneous initial data. We also study global existence of a large class of decaying solutions and construct an explicit asymptotic formula for ∣x∣→∞, relating the self‐similar profile (U(x),D(x)) to its corresponding initial data (u₀,d₀). In two dimensions, we obtain higher‐order asymptotics of (u(x),d(x)). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Galerkin finite element method for generalized Forchheimer equation of slightly compressible fluids in porous media

We consider the generalized Forchheimer flows for slightly compressible fluids. Using Muskat's and Ward's general form of Forchheimer equations, we describe the fluid dynamics by a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation for the density. We study Galerkin finite elements method for the initial boundary value problem. The existence and uniqueness of the approximation are proved. A prior estimates for the solutions in , time derivative in and gradient in , with a∈(0,1) are established. Error estimates for the density variable are derived in several norms for both continuous and discrete time procedures. Numerical experiments using backward Euler scheme confirm the theoretical analysis regarding convergence rates. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Consider the following fractional Kirchhoff equations involving critical exponent: where (?Δ)^α is the fractional Laplacian operator with α ∈(0,1), , , λ ₂>0 and is the critical Sobolev exponent, V (x ) and k (x ) are functions satisfying some extra hypotheses. Based on the principle of concentration compactness in the fractional Sobolev space, the minimax arguments, Pohozaev identity, and suitable truncation techniques, we obtain the existence of a nontrivial weak solution for the previously mentioned equations without assuming the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition on the subcritical nonlinearity f .

Blow‐up analysis for a class of nonlinear reaction diffusion equations with Robin boundary conditions

This paper is devoted to the study of the blow‐up phenomena of following nonlinear reaction diffusion equations with Robin boundary conditions: Here, is a bounded convex domain with smooth boundary. With the aid of a differential inequality technique and maximum principles, we establish a blow‐up or non–blow‐up criterion under some appropriate assumptions on the functions f,g,ρ,k, and u₀. Moreover, we dedicate an upper bound and a lower bound for the blow‐up time when blowup occurs.
