Remark on well-posedness for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation

We consider the initial value problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation (4NLS) related to the theory of vortex filament. In this paper we prove the time local well-posedness for (4NLS) in the Sobolev space, which is an improvement of our previous paper.

     

Low regularity global well-posedness for the Zakharov and Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger systems

We prove low regularity global well-posedness for the 1d Zakharov system and the 3d Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger system, which are systems in two variables and . The Zakharov system is known to be locally well-posed in and the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger system is known to be locally well-posed in . Here, we show that the Zakharov and Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger systems are globally well-posed in these spaces, respectively, by using an available conservation law for the norm of and controlling the growth of via the estimates in the local theory.

     

Embedded singular continuous spectrum for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators

We investigate one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with sparse potentials (i.e. the potential consists of a sequence of bumps with rapidly growing barrier separations). These examples illuminate various phenomena related to embedded singular continuous spectrum.

Operator kernel estimates for functions of generalized Schrödinger operators

We study the decay at large distances of operator kernels of functions of generalized Schrödinger operators, a class of semibounded second order partial differential operators of mathematical physics, which includes the Schrödinger operator, the magnetic Schrödinger operator, and the classical wave operators (i.e., acoustic operator, Maxwell operator, and other second order partial differential operators associated with classical wave equations). We derive an improved Combes-Thomas estimate, obtaining an explicit lower bound on the rate of exponential decay of the operator kernel of the resolvent. We prove that for slowly decreasing smooth functions the operator kernels decay faster than any polynomial.

     

Ill-posedness for the derivative Schrödinger and generalized Benjamin-Ono equations

Ill-posedness is established for the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation for data in , . This result implies that best result concerning local well-posedness for the IVP is in . It is also shown that the (IVP) associated to the generalized Benjamin-Ono equation for data below the scaling is in fact ill-posed.

     

A bound for ratios of eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators with single-well potentials

For Schrödinger operators with nonnegative single-well potentials ratios of eigenvalues are extremal only in the case of zero potential. To prove this, we investigate some monotonicity properties of Prüfer-type variables.

     

Reflection symmetries and absence of eigenvalues for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators

We prove a criterion for absence of decaying solutions for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators. As necessary input, we require infinitely many centers of local reflection symmetry and upper and lower bounds for the traces of the associated transfer matrices.

     

Multiscale-bump standing waves with a critical frequency for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

This type of multi-scale solution has never before been obtained.

     

Sharp local well-posedness for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation

In this paper we prove that the already-established local well-posedness in the range s>−5/4 of the Cauchy problem with an initial Hs(R) data for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation is extendable to s=−5/4 by using the space. This is sharp in the sense that the ill-posedness in the range s<−5/4 of this initial value problem is already known.     

Essential spectrum and -solutions of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators

In 1949, Hartman and Wintner showed that if the eigenvalue equations of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator possess square integrable solutions, then the essential spectrum is nowhere dense. Furthermore, they conjectured that this statement could be improved and that under this condition the essential spectrum might always be void. This is shown to be false. It is proved that, on the contrary, every closed, nowhere dense set does occur as the essential spectrum of Schrödinger operators which satisfy the condition of existence of -solutions. The proof of this theorem is based on inverse spectral theory.

Global well-posedness of Korteweg–de Vries equation in

We prove that the Korteweg–de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in and the modified Korteweg–de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in . The new ingredient is that we use directly the contraction principle to prove local well-posedness for KdV equation in H^−3/4 by constructing some special resolution spaces in order to avoid some ‘logarithmic divergence’ from the high–high interactions. Our local solution has almost the same properties as those for H^s (s>−3/4) solution which enable us to apply the I-method to extend it to a global solution.     

A non-homogeneous boundary-value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a quarter plane

The Korteweg-de Vries equation was first derived by Boussinesq and Korteweg and de Vries as a model for long-crested small-amplitude long waves propagating on the surface of water. The same partial differential equation has since arisen as a model for unidirectional propagation of waves in a variety of physical systems. In mathematical studies, consideration has been given principally to pure initial-value problems where the wave profile is imagined to be determined everywhere at a given instant of time and the corresponding solution models the further wave motion. The practical, quantitative use of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its relatives does not always involve the pure initial-value problem. Instead, initial-boundary-value problems often come to the fore. A natural example arises when modeling the effect in a channel of a wave maker mounted at one end, or in modeling near-shore zone motions generated by waves propagating from deep water. Indeed, the initial-boundary-value problem

studied here arises naturally as a model whenever waves determined at an entry point propagate into a patch of a medium for which disturbances are governed approximately by the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The present essay improves upon earlier work on (0.1) by making use of modern methods for the study of nonlinear dispersive wave equations. Speaking technically, local well-posedness is obtained for initial data in the class for \frac34$"> and boundary data in , whereas global well-posedness is shown to hold for when , and for when . In addition, it is shown that the correspondence that associates to initial data and boundary data the unique solution of (0.1) is analytic. This implies, for example, that solutions may be approximated arbitrarily well by solving a finite number of linear problems.

     

Bell polynomial approach to an extended Korteweg–de Vries equation

Under investigation in this paper is an extended Korteweg–de Vries equation. Via Bell polynomial approach and symbolic computation, this equation is transformed into two kinds of bilinear equations by choosing different coefficients, namely KdV–SK‐type equation and KdV–Lax‐type equation. On the one hand, N‐soliton solutions, bilinear Bäcklund transformation, Lax pair, Darboux covariant Lax pair, and infinite conservation laws of the KdV–Lax‐type equation are constructed. On the other hand, on the basis of Hirota bilinear method and Riemann theta function, quasiperiodic wave solution of the KdV–SK‐type equation is also presented, and the exact relation between the one periodic wave solution and the one soliton solution is established. It is rigorously shown that the one periodic wave solution tend to the one soliton solution under a small amplitude limit. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A version of Gordon's theorem for multi-dimensional Schrödinger operators

We consider discrete Schrödinger operators in with , and study the eigenvalue problem for these operators. It is shown that the point spectrum is empty if the potential is sufficiently well approximated by periodic potentials. This criterion is applied to quasiperiodic and to so-called Fibonacci-type superlattices.

Hydrodynamic approach to constructing solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the critical case

Proceeding from the hydrodynamic approach, we construct exact solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with special properties. The solutions describe collapse, in finite time, and scattering, over infinite time, of wave packets. They generalize known blow-up solutions based on the ``ground state'.
