Global solutions and blow-up phenomena to a shallow water equation

A nonlinear shallow water equation, which includes the famous Camassa-Holm (CH) and Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equations as special cases, is investigated. The local well-posedness of solutions for the nonlinear equation in the Sobolev space Hs(R) with is developed. Provided that does not change sign, u₀∈Hs () and u₀∈L¹(R), the existence and uniqueness of the global solutions to the equation are shown to be true in u(t,x)∈C([0,∞);Hs(R))∩C¹([0,∞);Hs−1(R)). Conditions that lead to the development of singularities in finite time for the solutions are also acquired.     

Well-posedness of the fourth-order perturbed Schrödinger type equation in non-isotropic Sobolev spaces

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem of the non-isotropically perturbed fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation: ((x₁,x₂,…,xn)∈Rn, t?0), where a is a real constant, 1?d<n is an integer, g(x,|u|)u is a nonlinear function which behaves like α|u|u for some constant α>0. By using Kato method, we prove that this perturbed fourth-order Schrödinger type equation is locally well-posed with initial data belonging to the non-isotropic Sobolev spaces provided that s₁,s₂ satisfy the conditions: s₁?0, s₂?0 for or for with some additional conditions. Furthermore, by using non-isotropic Sobolev inequality and energy method, we obtain some global well-posedness results for initial data belonging to non-isotropic Sobolev spaces .

Moreover, using their atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations, the authors investigate the trace properties and the boundedness of pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in and (q>1), which generalize the corresponding classical results on homogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces when p∈(1,∞) and q∈[1,∞) by taking τ=0.

In this paper, we set up the local well-posedness of the initial value problem for the dispersion generalized periodic KdV equation: t_∂u+x_∂α|Dx|u=x_∂u², u(0)=φ for α>2, and φ∈Hs(T). And we show that the is a lower endpoint to obtain the bilinear estimates (1.2) and (1.3) which are the crucial steps to obtain the local well-posedness by Picard iteration. The case α=2 was studied in Kenig et al. (1996) [10].     

A remark on Ricceri's conjecture for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Consider the eigenvalue problem : −Δu=λf(x,u) in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in RN. Denote by the set of all Carathéodory functions f:Ω×R→R such that for a.e. x∈Ω, f(x,⋅) is Lipschitzian with Lipschitz constant L, f(x,0)=0 and , and denote by (resp. ) the set of λ>0 such that has at least one nonzero classical (resp. weak) solution. Let λ₁ be the first eigenvalue for the Laplacian-Dirichlet problem. We prove that and . Our result is a positive answer to Ricceri's conjecture if use f(x,u) instead of f(u) in the conjecture.

We consider the global Cauchy problem for an evolution equation which models an Euler-Bernoulli vibrating beam with time dependent elastic modulus under a force linear function of the displacement u, of the slope x_∂u, of and . These two last derivatives are proportional to the bending moment and to the shear respectively. We show results of well-posedness in Sobolev spaces assuming that the coefficient of the shear term has a decay rate |x|^−σ, σ?1, for the position x→±∞ and that all the coefficients of , 1?k?3, satisfy suitable Levi conditions since we allow the elastic modulus to vanish at some time t=t₀.
