Qualitative properties of solutions of an integral equation associated with the Benjamin–Ono–Zakharov–Kuznetsov operator

We study qualitative properties of solutions of an integral equation associated the Benjamin–Ono–Zakharov–Kuznetsov operator. We establish the regularity of the positive solutions without the assumption of being in fractional Sobolev–Liouville spaces. Moreover we show that the solutions are axially symmetric. Furthermore we establish Lipschitz continuity and the decay rate of the solutions.     

Construction of global‐in‐time solutions to Kolmogorov‐Feller pseudodifferential equations with a small parameter using characteristics

Using an idea going back to Madelung, we construct global in time solutions to the transport equation corresponding to the asymptotic solution of the Kolmogorov‐Feller equation describing a system with diffusion, potential and jump terms. To do that we use the construction of a generalized delta‐shock solution of the continuity equation for a discontinuous velocity field. We also discuss corresponding problem of asymptotic solution construction (Maslov tunnel asymptotics).     

On singularities of continuity equation solutions

Generalized solutions to the continuity equation in one-dimensional and multidimensional cases are constructed in the case of a discontinuous velocity field.     

Hölder continuity of solutions to a degenerate elliptic equation in the presence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon

We study a second-order elliptic equation for which the Dirichlet problem can be posed in a nonunique way due to the so-called Lavrentiev phenomenon. In the corresponding weighted Sobolev space smooth functions are not dense, which leads to the existence of W – solutions and H – solutions. For H - solutions, we establish the Hölder continuity. We also discuss this question for W – solutions, for which the situation is more complicated.

Decay of Dissipative Equations and Negative Sobolev Spaces

We develop a general energy method for proving the optimal time decay rates of the solutions to the dissipative equations in the whole space. Our method is applied to classical examples such as the heat equation, the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the Boltzmann equation. In particular, the optimal decay rates of the higher-order spatial derivatives of solutions are obtained. The negative Sobolev norms are shown to be preserved along time evolution and enhance the decay rates. We use a family of scaled energy estimates with minimum derivative counts and interpolations among them without linear decay analysis.     

On the Interior Smoothness of Solutions to Second-Order Elliptic Equations

We study the interior smoothness properties of solutions to a linear second-order uniformly elliptic equation in selfadjoint form without lower-order terms and with measurable bounded coefficients. In terms of membership in a special function space we combine and supplement some properties of solutions such as membership in the Sobolev space W _{2, loc} ¹ and Holder continuity. We show that the membership of solutions in the introduced space which we establish in this article gives some new properties that do not follow from Holder continuity and the membership in W _2,loc ¹ .     

Global existence for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation by the method of inverse scattering

We develop inverse scattering for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS) on the line using its gauge equivalence with a related nonlinear dispersive equation. We prove Lipschitz continuity of the direct and inverse scattering maps from the weighted Sobolev spaces H^2,2(?) to itself. These results immediately imply global existence of solutions to the DNLS for initial data in a spectrally determined (open) subset of H^2,2(?) containing a neighborhood of 0. Our work draws ideas from the pioneering work of Lee and from more recent work of Deift and Zhou on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Differentiability of solutions to second-order elliptic equations via dynamical systems

For a second-order elliptic equation in divergence form we investigate conditions on the coefficients which imply that all solutions are Lipschitz continuous or differentiable at a given point. We assume the coefficients have modulus of continuity satisfying the square-Dini condition, and obtain additional conditions that examples show are sharp. Our results extend those of previous authors who assume the modulus of continuity satisfies the Dini condition. Our method involves the study of asymptotic properties of solutions to a dynamical system that is derived from the coefficients of the elliptic equation.     

Boundary Integral Solution of the Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation

Here we consider initial boundary value problem for the time–fractional diffusion equation by using the single layer potential representation for the solution. We derive the equivalent boundary integral equation. We will show that the single layer potential admits the usual jump relations and discuss the mapping properties of the single layer operator in the anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Our main theorem is that the single layer operator is coercive in an anisotropic Sobolev space. Based on the coercivity and continuity of the single layer operator we finally show the bijectivity of the operator in a certain range of anisotropic Sobolev spaces.

On the Equivalence of Solutions for a Class of Stochastic Evolution Equations in a Banach Space

We study a class of stochastic evolution equations in a Banach space E driven by cylindrical Wiener process. Three different analytical concepts of solutions: generalised strong, weak and mild are defined and the conditions under which they are equivalent are given. We apply this result to prove existence, uniqueness and continuity of weak solutions to stochastic delay evolution equations. We also consider two examples of these equations in non-reflexive Banach spaces: a stochastic transport equation with delay and a stochastic delay McKendrick equation.     

On the Two and Three Dimensional Oseen Potentials

We prove continuity properties for the Oseen potential. As a consequence, we show some new properties on solutions of the Oseen equations. The study relies on weighted Sobolev spaces in order to control the behavior of functions at infinity.     

Generalized Hunter–Saxton equation and the geometry of the group of circle diffeomorphisms

We study an equation lying ‘mid-way’ between the periodic Hunter–Saxton and Camassa–Holm equations, and which describes evolution of rotators in liquid crystals with external magnetic field and self-interaction. We prove that it is an Euler equation on the diffeomorphism group of the circle corresponding to a natural right-invariant Sobolev metric. We show that the equation is bihamiltonian and admits both cusped and smooth traveling-wave solutions which are natural candidates for solitons. We also prove that it is locally well-posed and establish results on the lifespan of its solutions. Throughout the paper we argue that despite similarities to the KdV, CH and HS equations, the new equation manifests several distinctive features that set it apart from the other three.     

A Sobolev-like inequality for the Dirac operator

In this article, we prove a Sobolev-like inequality for the Dirac operator on closed compact Riemannian spin manifolds with a nearly optimal Sobolev constant. As an application, we give a criterion for the existence of solutions to a nonlinear equation with critical Sobolev exponent involving the Dirac operator. We finally specify a case where this equation can be solved.     

A Class of Affine Processes Arising as Fluctuation Limits of Super-Brownian Motion in a Super-Brownian Catalytic Medium

A class of infinite dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes that arise as solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with noise generated by measure-valued catalytic processes is investigated. It will be shown that the catalytic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with super-Brownian catalyst in one dimension arises as a high density fluctuation limit of a super-Brownian motion in a super-Brownian catalyst with immigration. The main tools include Laplace transformations of stochastic processes, analysis of a non-linear partial differential equation and techniques on continuity and regularity based on properties of the Sobolev spaces.     

Phase Separation in the Advective Cahn–Hilliard Equation

The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a classic model of phase separation in binary mixtures that exhibits spontaneous coarsening of the phases. We study the Cahn–Hilliard equation with an imposed advection term in order to model the stirring and eventual mixing of the phases. The main result is that if the imposed advection is sufficiently mixing, then no phase separation occurs, and the solution instead converges exponentially to a homogeneous mixed state. The mixing effectiveness of the imposed drift is quantified in terms of the dissipation time of the associated advection–hyperdiffusion equation, and we produce examples of velocity fields with a small dissipation time. We also study the relationship between this quantity and the dissipation time of the standard advection–diffusion equation.

     

On The Trace Problem For Solutions Of The Vlasov Equation

We study tlie trace problem for weak solutions of the Vlasov equation set in a domain. When the force field has Sobolev regularity, we prove the existence of a trace on the boundaries, which is defined thanks to a Green formula, and we show that the trace can be renormalized. We apply these results to prove existence and uniqueness of tlie Cauchy problem for the Vlasov equation witli specular reflection at the boundary. We also give optimal trace theorems and solve the Cauchy problem witli general Dirichlet conditions at the boundary     

Sobolev spaces of symmetric functions and applications

We prove sharp pointwise estimates for functions in the Sobolev spaces of radial functions defined in a ball. As a consequence, we obtain some imbeddings of such Sobolev spaces in weighted Lq-spaces. We also prove similar imbeddings for Sobolev spaces of functions with partial symmetry. Our techniques lead to new Hardy type inequalities. It is important to observe that we do not require any vanishing condition on the boundary to obtain all our estimates. We apply these imbeddings to obtain radial solutions and partially symmetric solutions for a biharmonic equation of the Hénon type under both Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions. The delicate question of the regularity of these solutions is also established.     

Remarks on invariant subspaces andL p -solutions of the Schrödinger evolution equation

LetU(t,s) be the propagator associated to HamiltonianH(t)=?Δ+E(t)·x+V(x,t). We present some results on the invariance property and strong continuity forU(t,s) in certain weighted Sobolev spaces. The results can be used to prove the existence ofL ^p solutions for the Schrödinger evolution equation.
