The nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation on an interval as a perturbed Sine-Gordon equation

We treat the nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NKG) equation as the Sine-Gordon (SG) equation, perturbed by a higher order term. It is proved that most small-amplitude finite-gap solutions of the SG equation, which satisfy either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, persist in the NKG equation and jointly form partial central manifolds, which are “Lipschitz manifolds with holes”. Our proof is based on an analysis of the finite-gap solutions of the boundary problems for SG equation by means of the Schottky uniformization approach, and an application of an infinite-dimensional KAM-theory.

Exact solutions to the double Sine-Gordon equation

The double Sine-Gordon equation (DSG) with arbitrary constant coefficients is studied by F-expansion method, which can be thought of as an over-all generalization of the Jacobi elliptic function expansion since F here stands for every one of the Jacobi elliptic functions (even other functions). We first derive three kinds of the generic solutions of the DSG as well as the generic solutions of the Sine-Gordon equation (SG), then in terms of Appendix A, many exact periodic wave solutions, solitary wave solutions and trigonometric function solutions of the DSG are separated from its generic solutions. The corresponding results of the SG, which is a special case of the DSG, can also be obtained.

Infinitely many solutions to perturbed elliptic equations

A new version of perturbation theory is developed which produces infinitely many sign-changing critical points for uneven functionals. The abstract result is applied to the following elliptic equations with a Hardy potential and a perturbation from symmetry:

     

Asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues for two-parameter perturbed elliptic Sine-Gordon type equations

We consider two types of the perturbed elliptic Sine-Gordon type equations on an interval $$\pm u^{\prime \prime}(t)+\lambda \ {\rm sin}\ u(t)=\mu f(u(t)),\ u(t)>0\ t\in I: =(-T,T),\ u(\pm T)=0,$$ where λ, μ > 0 are parameters and T > 0 is a constant. We shall establish asymptotic formulas for variational eigenvalues by using variational methods.     

Interior regularity of weak solutions to the perturbed Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we establish interior regularity for weak solutions and partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the perturbed Navier-Stokes system, which can be regarded as generalizations of the results in L. Caffarelli, R. Kohn, L. Nirenberg: Partial regularity of suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Commun. Pure. Appl. Math. 35 (1982), 771–831, and S. Takahashi, On interior regularity criteria for weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Manuscr. Math. 69 (1990), 237–254.     

Interior peak solutions for an elliptic system of FitzHugh-Nagumo type

We consider the Dirichlet problem for an elliptic system of FitzHugh-Nagumo type. We prove that the problem has a solution with a sharp peak inside the domain.     

Properties of positive solutions to an elliptic equation with negative exponent

In this paper, we study some quantitative properties of positive solutions to a singular elliptic equation with negative power on the bounded smooth domain or in the whole Euclidean space. Our model arises in the study of the steady states of thin films and other applied physics as well as differential geometry. We can get some useful local gradient estimate and L¹ lower bound for positive solutions of the elliptic equation. A uniform positive lower bound for convex positive solutions is also obtained. We show that in lower dimensions, there is no stable positive solutions in the whole space. In the whole space of dimension two, we can show that there is no positive smooth solution with finite Morse index. Symmetry properties of related integral equations are also given.

Singular solutions of elliptic equations on a perturbed cone

In this work we obtain positive singular solutions of

$\{\begin{array}{ccc}?\mathrm{\Delta }u(y)\hfill & \hfill =\hfill & u{(y)}^p\text{ in }y\in {\mathrm{\Omega }}_t,\hfill \\ u\hfill & \hfill =\hfill & 0\text{ on }y\in ?{\mathrm{\Omega }}_t,\hfill \end{array}$

where ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_t$ is a sufficiently small $C^{2,\alpha }$ perturbation of the cone $\mathrm{\Omega }:=\{x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N:x=r\theta ,r>0,\theta \in S\}$ where $S?S^{N?1}$ has a smooth nonempty boundary and where $p>1$ satisfies suitable conditions. By singular solution we mean the solution is singular at the ‘vertex of the perturbed cone’. We also consider some other perturbations of the equation on the unperturbed cone Ω and here we use a different class of function spaces.

Sine-Gordon equation on the semi-axis

We investigate the sine-Gordon equation u_tt?u_xx+sinu=0 on the semi-axis x>0. We show that boundary conditions of the forms u_x(0,t)=c₁ cos(u(0,t)/2)+c₂ sin(u(0,t)/2) and u(0,t)=c are compatible with the Bäcklund transformation. We construct a multisoliton solution satisfying these boundary conditions.     

Justification of an asymptotic formula for solutions of the perturbed Klein-Fock-Gordon equation

A problem with periodic boundary conditions is considered for the Fock-Klein-Gordon equation perturbed by a small nonlinear operator R[t, u, u_x, u_xx]:. It is shown that under certain conditions the solution exists and is close to the known asymptotic solution on the interval 0 t l/.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
