Global well‐posedness of 2D nonlinear Boussinesq equations with mixed partial viscosity and thermal diffusivity

In this paper, we discuss with the global well‐posedness of 2D anisotropic nonlinear Boussinesq equations with any two positive viscosities and one positive thermal diffusivity. More precisely, for three kinds of viscous combinations, we obtain the global well‐posedness without any assumption on the solution. For other three difficult cases, under the minimal regularity assumption, we also derive the unique global solution. To the authors' knowledge, our result is new even for the simplified model, that is, F(θ) = θe₂. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global well‐posedness of the 2D Euler‐Boussinesq system with stratification effects

Global well‐posedness for strongly damped multidimensional generalized Boussinesq equations

We study the Cauchy problem for a class of strongly damped multidimensional generalized Boussinesq equations u_tt?Δu?Δu_tt+Δ²u+Δ²u_tt?kΔu_t=Δf(u), where k is a positive constant. Under some assumptions and by using potential well method, we prove the existence and nonexistence of global weak solution without solution without establishing the local existence theory.

Global regularity for a two‐dimensional nonlinear Boussinesq system

Global well‐posedness for the 2D Boussinesq system with variable viscosity and damping

In this paper, we consider the 2D Boussinesq system with variable kinematic viscosity in the velocity equation and with weak damping effect to instead of the regularity effect for the thermal conductivity. Even if without thermal diffusion in the temperature equation, we establish the global well‐posedness for the 2D Boussinesq system with general initial data.     

Global well‐posedness for the 2D dissipative quasi‐geostrophic equations in modulation spaces

We prove the existence of global weak solution of the two‐dimensional dissipative quasi‐geostrophic equations with small initial data in and local well‐posedness with the large initial data in the same space. Our proof is based on constructing a commutator related to the problem, as well as its estimate. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A regularity criterion for two‐and‐half‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with horizontal dissipation and horizontal magnetic diffusion

We study the global regularity of classical solution to two‐and‐half‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with horizontal dissipation and horizontal magnetic diffusion. We prove that any possible finite time blow‐up can be controlled by the L^∞‐norm of the vertical components. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On well‐posedness for some thermo‐piezoelectric coupling models

There is an increasing reliance on mathematical modelling to assist in the design of piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers since this provides a cost‐effective and quick way to arrive at a first prototype. Given a desired operating envelope for the sensor, the inverse problem of obtaining the associated design parameters within the model can be considered. It is therefore of practical interest to examine the well‐posedness of such models. There is a need to extend the use of such sensors into high‐temperature environments, and so this paper shows, for a broad class of models, the well‐posedness of the magneto‐electro‐thermo‐elastic problem. Because of its widespread use in the literature, we also show the well‐posedness of the quasi‐electrostatic case. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global well‐posedness of the compressible Euler with damping in Besov spaces

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problems for compressible Euler equations with damping. In terms of the Littlewood–Paley decomposition and Bony's para‐product formula, we prove the global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of the solution in the critical Besov space comparing with previous results.

Small data global well‐posedness for the nonlinear wave equation with nonlocal nonlinearity

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear wave equation , where V(u) = μ|·|^?γ ? |u|², , 0 < γ < min(4, n) and n ≥ 3. We prove small data global well‐posedness for the radial data and for the general data with angular regularity. We also give an improved result of the Hartree equation with negative critical regularity. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the global regularity of the 2D Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation

In this paper, we consider the two‐dimensional (2D) incompressible Boussinesq equations with fractional Laplacian dissipation and thermal diffusion. Attention is focused on the subcritical case when the velocity dissipation dominates. More precisely, we establish the global regularity result of the 2D Boussinesq equations in a new range of fractional powers of the Laplacian, namely with . Therefore, this result significantly improves the previous work 31 which obtained the global regularity result for with , where is an explicit function.     

On the well‐posedness of a mathematical model of quorum‐sensing in patchy biofilm communities

We analyze a system of reaction–diffusion equations that models quorum‐sensing in a growing biofilm. The model comprises two nonlinear diffusion effects: a porous medium‐type degeneracy and super diffusion. We prove the well‐posedness of the model. In particular, we present for the first time a uniqueness result for this type of problem. Moreover, we illustrate the behavior of model solutions in numerical simulations.

Local well‐posedness and ill‐posedness for the fractal Burgers equation in homogeneous Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we consider local well‐posedness and ill‐posedness questions for the fractal Burgers equation. First, we obtain the well‐posedness result in the critical Sobolev space. We also present an unconditional uniqueness result. Second, we show the ill‐posedness from the point of view of the Picard iterations in the supercritical space.

Global well‐posedness for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic system in the critical Lp framework

The present work is dedicated to the well‐posedness issue of strong solutions (away from vacuum) to the compressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system in (d ≥ 2). We aim at extending those results in previous studies to more general L^p critical framework. Precisely, by recasting the whole system in Lagrangian coordinates, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of solutions by means of Banach fixed‐point theorem. Furthermore, with the aid of effective velocity, we employ the energy argument to establish global a priori estimates, which lead to the unique global solution near constant equilibrium. Our results hold in case of small data but large highly oscillating initial velocity and magnetic field.     

On the well‐posedness for Keller–Segel system with fractional diffusion

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the Keller–Segel system with fractional diffusion generalizing the Keller–Segel model of chemotaxis for the initial data (u₀,v₀) in critical Fourier‐Herz spaces with q ∈ [2, ∞], where 1 < α ≤ 2. Making use of some estimates of the linear dissipative equation in the frame of mixed time‐space spaces, the Chemin ‘mono‐norm method’, the Fourier localization technique and the Littlewood–Paley theory, we get a local well‐posedness result and a global well‐posedness result with a small initial data. In addition, ill‐posedness for ‘doubly parabolic’ models is also studied. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Local well‐posedness for a system of quadratic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in one or two dimensions

In this article, the local well‐posedness of Cauchy's problem is explored for a system of quadratic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the space L^p( R ⁿ). In a special case of mass resonant 2 × 2 system, it is well known that this problem is well posed in H^s(s≥0) and ill posed in H^s(s < 0) in two‐space dimensions. By translation on a linear semigroup, we show that the general system becomes locally well posed in L^p( R ²) for 1 < p < 2, for which p can arbitrarily be close to the scaling limit p_c=1. In one‐dimensional case, we show that the problem is locally well posed in L¹( R ); moreover, it has a measure valued solution if the initial data are a Dirac function.

Global well‐posedness of the Cauchy problem for certain magnetohydrodynamic‐α models

This paper is devoted to study the Cauchy problem for certain incompressible magnetohydrodynamics‐α model. In the Sobolev space with fractional index s>1, we proved the local solutions for any initial data, and global solutions for small initial data. Furthermore, we also prove that as α→0, the MHD‐α model reduces to the MHD equations, and the solutions of the MHD‐α model converge to a pair of solutions for the MHD equations.
