On regularizing-rate estimates for solutions to the heat flow with initial value problem

For a compact Riemannian manifold NRK without boundary, we establish the existence of strong solutions to the heat flow for harmonic maps from Rn to N, and the regularizing rate estimate of the strong solutions. Moreover, we obtain the analyticity in spatial variables of the solutions. The uniqueness of the mild solutions in C([0,T]; W1,n) is also considered in this paper.     

Global solutions and self-similar solutions of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms a(x)|u|^q−1u|∇u|^p. We prove the existence of global solutions and self-similar solutions for small initial data. Moreover, for a class of initial data we show that the global solutions behave asymptotically like self-similar solutions as t→∞.     

Schwarz symmetrization and comparison results for nonlinear elliptic equations and eigenvalue problems

We compare the distribution function and the maximum of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations defined in general domains with solutions of similar problems defined in a ball using Schwarz symmetrization. As an application, we prove the existence and bound of solutions for some nonlinear equation. Moreover, for some nonlinear problems, we show that if the first p-eigenvalue of a domain is big, the supremum of a solution related to this domain is close to zero. For that we obtain L ^∞ estimates for solutions of nonlinear and eigenvalue problems in terms of other L ^p norms.     

On well-posedness of the semilinear heat equation on the sphere

We are concerned with existence, uniqueness and nonuniqueness of nonnegative solutions to the semilinear heat equation in open subsets of the n-dimensional sphere. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained using L ^p ?? L ^q estimates for the semigroup generated by the Laplace?CBeltrami operator. Moreover, under proper assumptions on the nonlinear function, we establish nonuniqueness of weak solutions, when n??? 3; to do this, we shall prove uniqueness of positive classical solutions and nonuniqueness of singular solutions of the corresponding semilinear elliptic problem.     

Extremal solutions of Cauchy problems for abstract fractional differential equations

In this paper, we study the extremal solutions of Cauchy problems for abstract fractional differential equations. Some definitions such as L ¹-Lipschitz-like, L ¹-Carathéodory-like and L ¹-Chandrabhan-like are introduced. By virtue of the singular integral inequalities with several nonlinearities due to Medved’, the properties of solutions are given. By using a hybrid fixed point theorem due to Dhage, existence results for extremal solutions are established. Finally, we present an example to illustrate our main results.     

The convergence of non-Newtonian fluids to Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the convergence of solutions for incompressible dipolar viscous non-Newtonian fluids is investigated. We obtain the conclusion that the solutions of non-Newtonian fluids converge to the solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the sense of L²-norm (resp. H¹-norm), as the viscosities tend to zero and the initial data belong to H¹(Ω) (resp. H²(Ω)). Moreover, we obtain L^∞-norm convergence of solutions if the initial data belong to H²(Ω).     

The method of lower and upper solutions for fourth order singular m-point boundary value problems

This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions for fourth order singular m-point boundary value problems. Firstly, we establish a comparison theorem, then we define a partial ordering in C²[0,1]∩C⁴(0,1) and construct lower and upper solutions to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of C²[0,1] as well as C³[0,1] positive solutions. Our nonlinearity f(t,x,y) may be singular at x, y, t=0 and/or t=1.     

The method of infinite ascent applied on A 4 ± nB 3 = C 2

Each of the Diophantine equations A ⁴ ± nB ³ = C ² has an infinite number of integral solutions (A,B,C) for any positive integer n. In this paper, we will show how the method of infinite ascent could be applied to generate these solutions. We will investigate the conditions when A, B and C are pair-wise co-prime. As a side result of this investigation, we will show a method of generating an infinite number of co-prime integral solutions (A,B,C) of the Diophantine equation aA ³ +cB ³ = C ² for any co-prime integer pair (a, c).     

Existence and uniqueness of entire solutions for a reaction-diffusion equation

We consider entire solutions of u_t=u_xx-f(u), i.e. solutions that exist for all (x,t)∈R², where f(0)=f(1)=0<f^′(0). In particular, we are interested in the entire solutions which behave as two opposite wave fronts of positive speed(s) approaching each other from both sides of the x-axis and then annihilating in a finite time. In the case f^′(1)>0, we show that such entire solution exists and is unique up to space-time translations. In the case f^′(1)<0, we derive two families of such entire solutions. In the first family, one cannot be any space-time translation of the other. Yet all entire solutions in the second family only differ by a space-time translation.     

On the Diophantine equation x 2 − kxy + y 2 − 2 n = 0

In this study, we determine when the Diophantine equation x ²?kxy+y ²?2 ⁿ = 0 has an infinite number of positive integer solutions x and y for 0 ? n ? 10. Moreover, we give all positive integer solutions of the same equation for 0 ? n ? 10 in terms of generalized Fibonacci sequence. Lastly, we formulate a conjecture related to the Diophantine equation x ² ? kxy + y ² ? 2 ⁿ = 0.     

Nonexistence of bounded energy solutions for a critical exponent problem

In this paper, we discuss positive solutions for certain weighted elliptic equations with critical Sobolev exponent in R^N. The weights depend on a positive parameter γ, which is allowed to increase to infinity. While for small values of γ solutions are completely classified, an attempt to such a classification is much more difficult for large values of the parameter. In the present work we prove the nonexistence of solutions with bounded energy as γ increases to infinity. We also prove a multiplicity result for high energy solutions.     

Uniqueness and non-existence theorems for conformally invariant equations

By using the equivalent integral form for the Q-curvature equation, we generalize the well-known non-existence results on two-dimensional Gaussian curvature equation to all dimensional Q-curvature equation. Somehow, we introduce a new approach to Q-curvature equation which is higher order and even pseudo-differential equation. As a by-product, we do classify the solutions for Q=1 solutions on Sⁿ as well as on Rⁿ with necessary growth rate assumption.     

Fourth order singular p-Laplacian differential equations with integral boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for fourth order singular p-Laplacian differential equations with integral boundary conditions and non-monotonic function terms. Firstly, we establish a comparison theorem, then we define a partial ordering in E ₀ and construct lower and upper solutions to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of C ²[0,1] as well as pseudo-C ³[0,1] positive solutions. Our nonlinearity f(t,x,y) may be singular at x=0, y=0, t=0 and t=1. Finally, we give some the dual results for the other cases of fourth order singular integral boundary value problems and an example to demonstrate the corresponding main results.     

Blow-up solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with oscillating nonlinearities

In this article we investigate the possibility of finite time blow-up in H¹(R²) for solutions to critical and supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations with an oscillating nonlinearity. We prove that despite the oscillations some solutions blow up in finite time. Conversely, we observe that for a given initial data oscillations can extend the local existence time of the corresponding solution.     

Global existence and convergence rates of smooth solutions for the full compressible MHD equations

In this paper, we consider the global smooth solutions and their decay for the full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in R ³. We prove the global existence of smooth solutions near the constant state in Sobolev norms by energy method and show the convergence rates of the L ^p -norm of these solutions to the constant state when the L ^q -norm of the perturbation is bounded.     

Entire solutions in monostable reaction-advection-diffusion equations in infinite cylinders

This paper is concerned with entire solutions of a monostable reaction-advection-diffusion equation in infinite cylinders without the condition f^′(u)≤f^′(0). By constructing a quasi-invariant manifold, we prove that there exist two classes of entire solutions. Furthermore, we show that one class of such entire solutions is unique up to space and time translation.     

The mixed initial-boundary value problem for diagonalizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems in the first quadrant

In this paper, we investigate the mixed initial-boundary value problem for diagonalizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions on a half-unbounded domain . Under the assumptions that system is strictly hyperbolic and linearly degenerate, we obtain the global existence and uniqueness of C¹ solutions with the bounded L¹∩L^∞ norm of the initial data as well as their derivatives and appropriate boundary condition. Based on the existence results of global classical solutions, we also prove that when t tends to infinity, the solutions approach a combination of C¹ travelling wave solutions. Under the appropriate assumptions of initial and boundary data, the results can be applied to the equation of time-like extremal surface in Minkowski space R^1+(1+n).     

Continuously decreasing solutions for polynomial-like iterative equations

Most known results on existence,uniqueness and stability for solutions of the polynomial-like iterative equation Σni=1λifi(x)=F(x) were obtained in the case of λ 1 = 0.In this paper,we construct C 0 decreasing solutions of the iterative equation in the case that λ 1 can vanish to answer the Leading Coefficient Problem.Moreover,we also give the necessary and sufficiently condition for uniqueness of solutions.     

Minimizing configurations and Hamilton-Jacobi equations of homogeneous N-body problems

For N-body problems with homogeneous potentials we define a special class of central configurations related with the reduction of homotheties in the study of homogeneous weak KAM solutions. For potentials in 1/r ^α with α ∈ (0, 2) we prove the existence of homogeneous weak KAM solutions. We show that such solutions are related to viscosity solutions of another Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the sphere of normal configurations. As an application we prove for the Newtonian three-body problem that there are no smooth homogeneous solutions to the critical Hamilton-Jacobi equation.     

Construction of continuous solutions and stability for the polynomial-like iterative equation

Most of known results such as existence, uniqueness and stability for polynomial-like iterative equations were given under the assumption that the coefficient of the first order iteration term does not vanish. The existence with a non-zero leading coefficient was therefore raised as an open problem. It was positively answered for local C¹ solutions later. In this paper this problem is answered further by constructing C⁰ solutions. Moreover, we discuss the stability of those C⁰ solutions, which consequently implies a result of the stability for iterative roots.
