A class of vector‐valued dilation‐and‐modulation frames on the half real line

Vector‐valued frames were first introduced under the name of superframes by Balan in the context of signal multiplexing and by Han and Larson from the mathematical aspect. Since then, the wavelet and Gabor frames in have interested many mathematicians. The space models vector‐valued causal signal spaces because of the time variable being nonnegative. But it admits no nontrivial shift‐invariant system and thus no wavelet or Gabor frame since is not a group by addition (not as ). Observing that is a group by multiplication, we, in this paper, introduce a class of multiplication‐based dilation‐and‐modulation ( ) systems, and investigate the theory of frames in . Since is not closed under the Fourier transform, the Fourier transform does not fit . We introduce the notion of Θ_a transform in , and using Θ_a‐transform matrix method, we characterize frames, Riesz bases, and dual frames in and obtain an explicit expression of duals for an arbitrary given frame. An example theorem is also presented.     

Time‐harmonic and asymptotically linear Maxwell equations in anisotropic media

This paper is focused on following time‐harmonic Maxwell equation: where is a bounded Lipschitz domain, is the exterior normal, and ω is the frequency. The boundary condition holds when Ω is surrounded by a perfect conductor. Assuming that f is asymptotically linear as , we study the above equation by improving the generalized Nehari manifold method. For an anisotropic material with magnetic permeability tensor and permittivity tensor , ground state solutions are established in this paper. Applying the principle of symmetric criticality, we find 2 types of solutions with cylindrical symmetries in particular for the uniaxial material.     

Characterizations of Sobolev spaces associated to operators satisfying off‐diagonal estimates on balls

Let be a metric measure space of homogeneous type and L be a one‐to‐one operator of type ω on for ω ∈[0, π /2). In this article, under the assumptions that L has a bounded H _∞ ‐functional calculus on and satisfies (p _L , q _L ) off‐diagonal estimates on balls, where p _L ∈[1, 2) and q _L ∈(2, ∞ ], the authors establish a characterization of the Sobolev space , defined via L ^{α /2}, of order α ∈(0, 2] for p ∈(p _L , q _L ) by means of a quadratic function S _{α , L} . As an application, the authors show that for the degenerate elliptic operator L _w : =? w  ^? 1div(A ?) and the Schrödinger type operator with a ∈(0, ∞ ) on the weighted Euclidean space with A being real symmetric, if n ?3, with q ∈[1, 2], , p ∈(1, ∞ ) and with , then, for all , , where the implicit equivalent positive constants are independent of f , denotes the class of Muckenhoupt weights, the reverse Hölder class, and D (L _w ) and the domains of L _w and , respectively.

Finite‐dimensional global attractor for a semi‐discrete fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider a semi‐discrete in time Crank–Nicolson scheme to discretize a weakly damped forced nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation u _t ?i (?Δ)^α u +i |u |²u +γ u =f for considered in the the whole space . We prove that such semi‐discrete equation provides a discrete infinite‐dimensional dynamical system in that possesses a global attractor in . We show also that if the external force is in a suitable weighted Lebesgue space, then this global attractor has a finite fractal dimension. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Three rapidly convergent parareal solvers with application to time‐dependent PDEs with fractional Laplacian

Time‐dependent PDEs with fractional Laplacian ( ? Δ)^α play a fundamental role in many fields and approximating ( ? Δ)^α usually leads to ODEs' system like u ^′ (t ) + A u (t ) =  g (t ) with A  = Q ^α , where is a sparse symmetric positive definite matrix and α  > 0 denotes the fractional order. The parareal algorithm is an ideal solver for this kind of problems, which is iterative and is characterized by two propagators and . The propagators and are respectively associated with large step size ΔT and small step size Δt , where ΔT  = J Δt and J ?2 is an integer. If we fix the ‐propagator to the Implicit‐Euler method and choose for some proper Runge–Kutta (RK) methods, such as the second‐order and third‐order singly diagonally implicit RK methods, previous studies show that the convergence factors of the corresponding parareal solvers can satisfy and , where σ (A ) is the spectrum of the matrix A . In this paper, we show that by choosing these two RK methods as the ‐propagator, the convergence factors can reach , provided the one‐stage complex Rosenbrock method is used as the ‐propagator. If we choose for both and , the complex Rosenbrock method, we show that the convergence factor of the resulting parareal solver can also reach . Numerical results are given to support our theoretical conclusions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The main strategy we use in this paper is concentration‐compactness argument, which was first introduced by Kenig and Merle to handle the scattering problem vector so as to control the momentum.

Variational approach to solutions for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for the following fractional Hamiltonian systems: ( FHS ) where α ∈ (1 ∕ 2,1), , , and are symmetric and positive definite matrices for all , , and ? W is the gradient of W at u. The novelty of this paper is that, assuming L is coercive at infinity, and W is of subquadratic growth as | u | → + ∞ , we show that (FHS) possesses infinitely many solutions via the genus properties in the critical theory. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A conformal group approach to the Dirac–Kähler system on the lattice

Starting from the representation of the (n  ? 1) + n  ? dimensional Lorentz pseudo‐sphere on the projective space , we propose a method to derive a class of solutions underlying to a Dirac–Kähler type equation on the lattice. We make use of the Cayley transform to show that the resulting group representation arises from the same mathematical framework as the conformal group representation in terms of the general linear group . That allows us to describe such class of solutions as a commutative n  ? ary product, involving the quasi‐monomials ) with membership in the paravector space .

Multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers on stratified groups

As far as we know, the study of multilinear spectral multipliers on nilpotent Lie groups is a very new research work. There is even no study of Hörmander‐type multiplier theorem for multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers on nilpotent Lie groups. In this paper, on product spaces of stratified groups G = G₁ × ⋯ × G_M, we prove Hörmander‐type multiplier theorems for multilinear and multiparameter spectral multipliers from to L^r(G) with , from to with , and from to L^r(·)(G) with or for all ℓ = 1,…,N.     

Regular attractor for damped KdV‐Burgers equations on R

We study the well‐posedness and dynamic behavior for the KdV‐Burgers equation with a force on R . We establish L ^p ?L ^q estimates of the evolution , as an application we obtain the local well‐posedness. Then the global well‐posedness follows from a uniform estimate for solutions as t goes to infinity. Next, we prove the asymptotical regularity of solutions in space and by the smoothing effect of . The regularity and the asymptotical compactness in L ² yields the asymptotical compactness in by an interpolation arguement. Finally, we conclude the existence of an globalattractor.     

Boundedness in a higher‐dimensional chemotaxis system with porous medium diffusion and general sensitivity

This paper deals with the following chemotaxis system: in a bounded domain with smooth boundary under no‐flux boundary conditions, where satisfies for all with l ?2 and some nondecreasing function on [0,∞ ). Here, f (v )∈C ¹([0,∞ )) is nonnegative for all v ?0. It is proved that when , the system possesses at least one global bounded weak solution for any sufficiently smooth nonnegative initial data. This extends a recent result by Wang (Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 2016 39 : 1159–1175) which shows global existence and boundedness of weak solutions under the condition .

Positive solutions to semilinear elliptic equations involving a weighted fractional Lapalacian

In this paper, we consider a uniform elliptic nonlocal operator (1) which is a weighted form of fractional Laplacian. We firstly establish three maximum principles for antisymmetric functions with respect to the nonlocal operator. Then, we obtain symmetry, monotonicity, and nonexistence of solutions to some semilinear equations involving the operator on bounded domain, and , by applying direct moving plane methods. Finally, we show the relations between the classical operator  ? Δ and the nonlocal operator in ( 1 ) as α →2. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.

Analyticity for a class of nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations arising in interfacial electrohydrodynamics

In this article, we study the analyticity properties of solutions of the nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations, defined on 2π‐periodic intervals, where ν is a positive constant; μ is a nonnegative constant; p is an arbitrary but fixed real number in the interval [3,4); and is an operator defined by its symbol in Fourier space, with be the Hilbert transform. We establish spatial analyticity in a strip around the real axis for the solutions of such equations, which possess universal attractors. Also, a lower bound for the width of the strip of analyticity is obtained.     

Involutions in split semi‐quaternions

A map is an involution (resp, anti‐involution) if it is a self‐inverse homomorphism (resp, antihomomorphism) of a field algebra. The main purpose of this paper is to show how split semi‐quaternions can be used to express half‐turn planar rotations in 3‐dimensional Euclidean space and how they can be used to express hyperbolic‐isoclinic rotations in 4‐dimensional semi‐Euclidean space . We present an involution and an anti‐involution map using split semi‐quaternions and give their geometric interpretations as half‐turn planar rotations in . Also, we give the geometric interpretation of nonpure unit split semi‐quaternions, which are in the form p = coshθ + sinhθ i + 0 j + 0 k = coshθ + sinhθ i , as hyperbolic‐isoclinic rotations in .     

A nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation in a quarter plane

We study the initial boundary value problem for the one‐dimensional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed in a half line with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Through the analysis of the boundary integral operator, and applying the known results of the Cauchy problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed on the whole line , the initial boundary value problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is shown to be globally well‐posed in Sobolev space for any s >?2.

Spatially almost periodic solutions for active scalar equations

We are concerned with a family of dissipative active scalar equation on . By using similar methods from the previous paper of Y. Giga et al. (see Introduction below), we construct a unique real, spatially almost periodic mild solution θ of 1.1 satisfying 1.11 . In this paper, we consider some countable sum‐closed frequency sets (see Remark 1.1 ). We show that the property of the solution is rather different from Chae et al 1 and obtain that with some initial data θ₀ for all t≥0, and 0≤α≤ω, where ω is a fixed constant. Furthermore, arranging the elements of a countable sum‐closed frequency set F_δ as in Remark 1.3 , we have for any 0≤α≤ω that belongs to , where F_δ is defined in 1.4 or 1.5 .     

Existence and limit behavior of prescribed L2‐norm solutions for Schrödinger‐Poisson‐Slater systems in

In this paper, we study constraint minimizers of the following L ²?critical minimization problem: where E (u ) is the Schrödinger‐Poisson‐Slater functional and N denotes the mass of the particles in the Schrödinger‐Poisson‐Slater system. We prove that e (N ) admits minimizers for and, however, no minimizers for N >N ^?, where Q (x ) is the unique positive solution of in . Some results on the existence and nonexistence of minimizers for e (N ^?) are also established. Further, when e (N ^?) does not admit minimizers, the limit behavior of minimizers as N ↗N ^? is also analyzed rigorously.     

Enclosings of decompositions of complete multigraphs in 2‐factorizations

Let k, m, n, λ, and μ be positive integers. A decomposition of into edge‐disjoint subgraphs is said to be enclosed by a decomposition of into edge‐disjoint subgraphs if and, after a suitable labeling of the vertices in both graphs, is a subgraph of and is a subgraph of for all . In this paper, we continue the study of enclosings of given decompositions by decompositions that consist of spanning subgraphs. A decomposition of a graph is a 2‐factorization if each subgraph is 2‐regular and spanning, and is Hamiltonian if each subgraph is a Hamiltonian cycle. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a 2‐factorization of that encloses a given decomposition of whenever and . We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Hamiltonian decomposition of that encloses a given decomposition of whenever and either or and , or , , and .
