On the change in the region of localization of perturbations in nonlinear transport processes

The quasilinear parabolic equation $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left( {\left| {\frac{{\partial u^k }}{{\partial x}}} \right|^{n - 1} \frac{{\partial u^k }}{{\partial x}}} \right) - \gamma u^m , k,\gamma > 0, m \geqslant 0, kn > 1$$ can be regarded as the generalized form of many well-known transport equations with transport coefficients that depend on the transported quantity. For example, the case n = 1 corresponds to heat transport in a medium with thermal conductivity and sinks which depend on the temperature in accordance with a power law [1, 2]; the case k = m = 1 describes the flow of a conducting non-Newtonian fluid in a transverse magnetic field [3]; the case k = 2, m = 0 corresponds to the magnetohydrodynamic flow of the same fluid in a transverse magnetic field in a laminar boundary layer [4]. In the general case, Eq. (0.1) describes turbulent flow in a porous medium with nonlinear sinks [5]. A characteristic feature of the processes described by Eq. (0.1) is the possibility of existence of a front x = x_f(t) which strictly separates regions with u(x, t) = 0 from regions with u(x, t) > 0 in which the perturbations of the transported quantity are localized [6]. In the present paper, the change in the region of localization of the perturbations of the transported quantity is investigated in the Cauchy problems for Eq. (0.1).     

A Widder’s Type Theorem for the Heat Equation with Nonlocal Diffusion

The main goal of this work is to prove that every non-negative strong solution u(x, t) to the problem $$u_t + (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}{u} = 0 \,\, {\rm for} (x, t) \in {\mathbb{R}^n} \times (0, T ), \, 0 < \alpha < 2,$$ can be written as $$u(x, t) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} P_t (x - y)u(y, 0) dy,$$ where $$P_t (x) = \frac{1}{t^{n/ \alpha}}P \left(\frac{x}{t^{1/ \alpha}}\right),$$ and $$P(x) := \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} e^{i x\cdot\xi-|\xi |^\alpha} d\xi.$$ This result shows uniqueness in the setting of non-negative solutions and extends some classical results for the heat equation by Widder in [15] to the nonlocal diffusion framework.     

Nonlinear oscillations and boundary value problems for Hamiltonian systems

We prove the existence of solutions of various boundary-value problems for nonautonomous Hamiltonian systems with forcing terms $$\begin{gathered} \dot x(t) = H'_p (t, x(t), p(t)) + g(t), \hfill \\ \dot p(t) = - H'_x (t, x(t), p(t)) - f(t). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Among these problems is the existence of T-periodic solutions, namely those satisfying x(t+T)=x(t) and p(t+T)+p(t). A special study is made of the classical case, where H(x, p)=1/2 |p|²+V(x). In the case of parametric oscillations, where (f, g)=(0, 0) and t ? H(t, x, p) is T-periodic, we give a lower bound for the true (minimal) period of the T-periodic solution (x, p) produced by our method, and we prove the existence of an infinite number of subharmonics.

A boundary value problem associated with the second painlevé transcendent and the Korteweg-de Vries equation

The differential equation considered is \(y'' - xy = y|y|^\alpha \) . For general positive α this equation arises in plasma physics, in work of De Boer & Ludford. For α=2, it yields similarity solutions to the well-known Korteweg-de Vries equation. Solutions are sought which satisfy the boundary conditions (1) y(∞)=0 (2) (1) $$y{\text{(}}\infty {\text{)}} = {\text{0}}$$ (2) $$y{\text{(}}x{\text{) \~( - }}\tfrac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{2}}}x{\text{)}}^{{{\text{1}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{1}} \alpha }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \alpha }} {\text{ as }}x \to - \infty $$ It is shown that there is a unique such solution, and that it is, in a certain sense, the boundary between solutions which exist on the whole real line and solutions which, while tending to zero at plus infinity, blow up at a finite x. More precisely, any solution satisfying (1) is asymptotic at plus infinity to some multiple kA i(x) of Airy's function. We show that there is a unique k^*(α) such that when k=k^*(α) the condition (2) is also satisfied. If 0 ^*, the solution exists for all x and tends to zero as x→-∞, while if k>k ^* then the solution blows up at a finite x. For the special case α=2 the differential equation is classical, having been studied by Painlevé around the turn of the century. In this case, using an integral equation derived by inverse scattering techniques by Ablowitz & Segur, we are able to show that k^*=1, confirming previous numerical estimates.     

On the perturbational global attractivity of nonautomous delay differential equations

Consider the perturbed nonautonomous linear delay differential equation x(t) = - a(t)x(t-τ) + F(t, x₁, t ⩾ 0 where x₁(s)=x(t+s) for −δ≤s≤0. Suppose that a(t) ∈ C([0,∞), (0,∞)), τ≥0,F:[0, ∞) x C[−δ,0] → R is a continuous functions and F(t,0) ≡ 0. Here C[−δ,0] is the space of continuous functions Φ: [−δ,0] → R with ∥Φ∥<H for the norm | Φ |, where |·| is any norm in R and 0<H≤+∞. Most of the known papers [1–5,7] have been concerned with the local or global asymptotic behavior of the zero solution of Eq. (*) when a(t) is independent of t i. e., a(t) is autonomous. The aim in this paper is to derive the sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the zero solution of of Eq. (*) When a(t) is nonautomous. Our results, which extend and improve the known results, are even “sharp”. At the same time, the method used in this paper can be applicable to the perturbed nonlinear equation.

On the stability or instability of the singular solution of the semilinear heat equation with exponential reaction term

We study questions of existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour for the solutions of u(x, t) of the problem $$\begin{gathered} {\text{ }}u_t - \Delta u = \lambda e^u ,{\text{ }}\lambda {\text{ > 0, }}t > 0,{\text{ }}x{\text{ }}\varepsilon B, \hfill \\ (P){\text{ }}u(x,0) = u_0 (x),{\text{ }}x{\text{ }}\varepsilon B, \hfill \\ {\text{ }}u(x,t) = 0{\text{ }}on{\text{ }}\partial B \times (0,\infty ), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where B is the unit ball $\{ x\varepsilon R^N :|x|{\text{ }} \leqq {\text{ }}1\} {\text{ and }}N \geqq 3$ . Our interest is focused on the parameter λ ₀=2(N?2) for which (P) admits a singular stationary solution of the form $$S(x) = - 2log|x|$$ . We study the dynamical stability or instability of S, which depends on the dimension. In particular, there exists a minimal bounded stationary solution u which is stable if $3 \leqq N \leqq 9$ , while S is unstable. For $N \geqq 10$ there is no bounded minimal solution and S is an attractor from below but not from above. In fact, solutions larger than S cannot exist in any time interval (there is instantaneous blow-up), and this happens for all dimensions.

Optimum lifting wings with specified longitudinal trim characteristics

The case of an infinitely slender wing that slightly disturbs a supersonic ideal gas flow is considered. The plan form and the free-stream Mach number M are given. The optimum surface of the wing y=g(x, z) is determined as a result of finding a bounded function of the local angles of attack _M=g(x, z)/x that minimizes the drag coefficient c_x for given values of the lift coefficient c_y and the pitching moment coefficient m_z. The problem is solved in the class of piecewise-constant functions for wings of complex geometry [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 185–189, July–August, 1987.

A connection formula for the second Painlevé transcendent

We consider the second Painlevé transcendent $$\frac{{d^2 y}}{{dx^2 }} = xy + 2y^3 .$$ It is known that if y(x) ～ k Ai (x) as x → + ∞, where ?1<k<1 and Ai (x) denotes Airy's function, then $$y(x) \sim d|x|^{ - \tfrac{1}{4}} sin\{ \tfrac{2}{3}|x|^{\tfrac{3}{2}} - \tfrac{3}{4}d^2 1n|x| - c\} ,$$ where the constants d, c depend on k. This paper shows that $$d^2 = \pi ^{ - 1} 1n(1 - k^2 )$$ , which confirms a conjecture by Ablowitz & Segur.

Existence of Singular Self-Similar Solutions of the Three-Dimensional Euler Equations in a Bounded Domain

A self-similar solution of the three-dimensional (3d) incompressible Euler equations is defined byu(x,t) =U(y)/t*-t) ^{α, y = x/(t* ~ t)β,α,β>} 0, whereU(y) satisfiesζU + βy. ΔU + U. VU + VP = 0,divU = 0. For α = β = 1/2, which is the limiting case of Leray’s self-similar Navier—Stokes equations, we prove the existence of(U,P) ε H³(Ω,R³ X R) in a smooth bounded domain Ω, with the inflow boundary data of non-zero vorticity. This implies the possibility that solutions of the Euler equations blow up at a timet = t*, t* < +∞.

Real Solutions to the Nonlinear Helmholtz Equation with Local Nonlinearity

In this paper, we study real solutions of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation $$- \Delta u - k^2 u = f(x,u),\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N$$ satisfying the asymptotic conditions $$u(x)=O\left(|x|^{\frac{1-N}{2}}\right) \quad {\rm and} \quad \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial r^2}(x)+k^2u(x)=o\left(|x|^{\frac{1-N}{2}}\right) \quad {\rm as}\, r=|x| \to\infty.$$ We develop the variational framework to prove the existence of nontrivial solutions for compactly supported nonlinearities without any symmetry assumptions. In addition, we consider the radial case in which, for a larger class of nonlinearities, infinitely many solutions are shown to exist. Our results give rise to the existence of standing wave solutions of corresponding nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations with arbitrarily large frequency.     

Regional Blow-up for a Doubly Nonlinear Parabolic Equation with a Nonlinear Boundary Condition

In this work, positive solutions to a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation with a nonlinear boundary condition are considered. We study the problem where 0 < m, r, α < ∞ are parameters. It is known that for some values of the parameters there are solutions that blow up in finite time. We determine in terms of α ,m, r the blow-up sets for these solutions. We prove that single point blow-up occurs if max{m, r} < α, global blow-up appears for the range of parameters 0 < m < α < r and regional blow-up takes place if 0 < m < α = r and . In this case the blow-up set consists of the interval .
