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.

Global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions for a 3D two‐species chemotaxis‐Stokes system with competitive kinetics

This paper considers the 2‐species chemotaxis‐Stokes system with competitive kinetics under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a 3‐dimensional bounded domain with smooth boundary. Both chemotaxis‐fluid systems and 2‐species chemotaxis systems with competitive terms were studied by many mathematicians. However, there have not been rich results on coupled 2‐species–fluid systems. Recently, global existence and asymptotic stability in the above problem with (u·∇)u in the fluid equation were established in the 2‐dimensional case. The purpose of this paper is to give results for global existence, boundedness, and stabilization of solutions to the above system in the 3‐dimensional case when is sufficiently small.

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.

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.     

Boundedness of solutions to parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel systems with signal‐dependent sensitivity

This paper deals with the parabolic–elliptic Keller–Segel system with signal‐dependent chemotactic sensitivity function, under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain , with initial data satisfying u₀ ≥ 0 and . The chemotactic sensitivity function χ(v) is assumed to satisfy The global existence of weak solutions in the special case is shown by Biler (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 1999; 9:347–359). Uniform boundedness and blow‐up of radial solutions are studied by Nagai and Senba (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 1998; 8:145–156). However, the global existence and uniform boundedness of classical nonradial solutions are left as an open problem. This paper gives an answer to the problem. Namely, it is shown that the system possesses a unique global classical solution that is uniformly bounded if , where γ > 0 is a constant depending on Ω and u₀.
