Global solvability of massless Dirac–Maxwell systems

We consider the Cauchy problem for massless Dirac–Maxwell equations on an asymptotically flat background and give a global existence and uniqueness theorem for initial values small in an appropriate weighted Sobolev space. The result can be extended via analogous methods to Dirac–Higgs–Yang–Mills theories.     

Stability of non-constant equilibrium solutions for two-fluid Euler–Maxwell systems

In this work we consider periodic problems for two-fluid compressible Euler–Maxwell systems for plasmas. The initial data are supposed to be in a neighborhood of non-constant equilibrium states. Mainly by an induction argument used in Peng (2015), we prove the global stability in the sense that smooth solutions exist globally in time and converge to the equilibrium states as the time goes to infinity. Moreover, we obtain the global stability of solutions with exponential decay in time near the equilibrium states for two-fluid compressible Euler–Poisson systems.     

Multiplicity of solutions for a class of Schrödinger–Maxwell systems

In this paper, we study existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for a class of Schrödinger–Maxwell systems via variational methods. Some new existence results of nontrivial solutions are obtained.     

Nonrelativistic Euler–Maxwell systems

Results of two previous papers are used to reexamine Galilean symmetric Euler–Maxwell systems as candidate models of magnetohydrodynamic flow. For a single, electrically charged fluid, the results are largely negative. Under expected physical conditions, inclusion of the magnetic force on the fluid all but necessarily results in a modified Lundquist system. However the treatment is unsatisfactory in several respects.     

Maxwell–Dirac Equations in Four-Dimensional Minkowski Space

Abstract

I derive the global existence and asymptotic behavior of small amplitude solutions to the system of massive coupled classical Maxwell–Dirac equations in the four-dimensional Minkowski space. Because the physically defined energy of the system is not positive definite, I transform it into an equivalent system of Maxwell–Klein–Gordon equations, which I study with a method based on gauge invariant energy estimates and geometric properties of the equations.     

On semi-classical limits of ground states of a nonlinear Maxwell–Dirac system

We study the semi-classical ground states of the nonlinear Maxwell–Dirac system: $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \alpha \cdot \left( i\hbar \nabla + q(x)\mathbf{A }(x)\right) w-a\beta w -\omega w - q(x)\phi (x) w = P(x)g(\left| w\right| ) w\\ -\Delta \phi =q(x)\left| w\right| ^2\\ -\Delta {A_k}=q(x)(\alpha _k w)\cdot \bar{w}\ \ \ \ k=1,2,3 \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ for \(x\in \mathbb{R }^3\) , where \(\mathbf{A }\) is the magnetic field, \(\phi \) is the electron field and \(q\) describes the changing pointwise charge distribution. We develop a variational method to establish the existence of least energy solutions for \(\hbar \) small. We also describe the concentration behavior of the solutions as \(\hbar \rightarrow 0\) .     

Existence of periodic travelling wave solutions of non-autonomous reaction–diffusion equations with lambda–omega type

Periodic travelling wave solutions of reaction–diffusion equations were studied by many authors. The λ–ω$\lambda \text{–}\omega$ type reaction–diffusion system is a notable special model that admits explicit periodic travelling wave solutions and was introduced by Kopell and Howard in 1973. There are now similar systems which are investigated by means of autonomous dynamics. In contrast, there are few papers which are concerned with non-autonomous cases. For this reason, we apply Mawhin’s continuation theorem to derive the existence of periodic travelling wave solutions for non-autonomous λ–ω$\lambda \text{–}\omega$ systems, and we describe the ‘disappearance’ of periodic travelling wave solutions under special situations. Our main result is also illustrated by examples.     

Analysis of Maxwell–Stefan systems for heat conducting fluid mixtures

The global-in-time existence of bounded weak solutions to the Maxwell–Stefan–Fourier equations in Fick–Onsager form is proved. The model consists of the mass balance equations for the partial mass densities and the energy balance equation for the total energy. The diffusion and heat fluxes depend linearly on the gradients of the thermo-chemical potentials and the gradient of the temperature and include the Soret and Dufour effects. The cross-diffusion system exhibits an entropy structure, which originates from the thermodynamic modeling. The lack of positive definiteness of the diffusion matrix is compensated by the fact that the total mass density is constant in time. The entropy estimate yields the a.e. positivity of the partial mass densities and temperature. Also diffusion matrices are considered that degenerate for vanishing partial mass densities.     

Traveling wave solutions of competitive–cooperative Lotka–Volterra systems of three species

This paper is concerned with the existence of traveling front solutions for competitive–cooperative Lotka–Volterra systems of three species. By converting the system into a monotone system, we show that under certain assumptions on the parameters appearing in the system, traveling front solutions exist. Also, exact traveling front solutions, which are polynomials in the hyperbolic tangent function, are given explicitly in certain parameter regimes.
