On the well‐posedness of the Cauchy problem for an MHD system in Besov spaces

This paper is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem of incompressible magneto‐hydrodynamics system in the framework of Besov spaces. In the case of spatial dimension n?3, we establish the global well‐posedness of the Cauchy problem of an incompressible magneto‐hydrodynamics system for small data and the local one for large data in the Besov space ? (?ⁿ), 1?p<∞ and 1?r?∞. Meanwhile, we also prove the weak–strong uniqueness of solutions with data in ? (?ⁿ)∩L²(?ⁿ) for n/2p+2/r>1. In the case of n=2, we establish the global well‐posedness of solutions for large initial data in homogeneous Besov space ? (?²) for 2<p<∞ and 1?r<∞. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up for the b‐family of equations

In this paper, we consider the b‐family of equations on the torus u _t ?u _{t x x} +(b + 1)u u _x =b u _x u _{x x} +u u _{x x x} , which for appropriate values of b reduces to well‐known models, such as the Camassa–Holm equation or the Degasperis–Procesi equation. We establish a local‐in‐space blow‐up criterion. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Local well‐posedness and blow‐up criterion for a compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Fourier‐P1 approximate model arising in radiation hydrodynamics

We establish a local well‐posedness and a blow‐up criterion of strong solutions for the compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Fourier‐P1 approximate model arising in radiation hydrodynamics. For the local well‐posedness result, we do not need the assumption on the positivity of the initial density and it may vanish in an open subset of the domain.     

Local well‐posedness and blow‐up criteria of solutions for a rod equation

In this paper we consider a new rod equation derived recently by Dai [Acta Mech. 127 No. 1–4, 193–207 (1998)] for a compressible hyperelastic material. We establish local well‐posedness for regular initial data and explore various sufficient conditions of the initial data which guarantee the blow‐up in finite time both for periodic and non‐periodic case. Moreover, the blow‐up time and blow‐up rate are given explicitly. Some interesting examples are given also. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

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.     

Well‐posedness for the density‐dependent incompressible flow of liquid crystals

In this paper, we are concerned with the Cauchy problem for the density‐dependent incompressible flow of liquid crystals in thewhole space (N ≥ 2).We prove the localwell‐posedness for large initial velocity field and director field of the system in critical Besov spaces if the initial density is close to a positive constant. We show also the global well‐posedness for this system under a smallness assumption on initial data. In particular, this result allows us to work in Besov space with negative regularity indices, where the initial velocity becomes small in the presence of the strong oscillations.

Considered herein is a generalized two‐component Camassa–Holm system in spatially periodic setting. We first prove two conservation laws; then under proper assumptions on the initial data, we show the precise blow‐up scenarios and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the formation of singularities to the solutions of the generalized Camassa–Holm system.

Well‐posedness for the Cauchy problem of the modified Hunter–Saxton equation in the Besov spaces

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the modified Hunter‐Saxton equation. The local well‐posedness of the model equation is obtained in Besov spaces (which generalize the Sobolev spaces H^s) by using Littlewood‐Paley decomposition and transport equation theory. Moreover, the local well‐posedness in critical case (with ) is considered.     

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.

Well‐posedness,blow‐up phenomena and analyticity for a two‐component higher order Camassa–Holm system

In this paper, the local well‐posedness for the Cauchy problem of a two‐component higher‐order Camassa–Holm system (2HOCH) is established in Besov spaces with and (and also in Sobolev spaces with ), which improves the corresponding results for higher‐order Camassa–Holm in 7 , 24 , 25 , where the Sobolev index is required, respectively. Then the precise blow‐up mechanism and global existence for the strong solutions of 2HOCH are determined in the lowest Sobolev space with . Finally, the Gevrey regularity and analyticity of the 2HOCH are presented.

On the global weak solutions for a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation

In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±. By perturbing the Cauchy problem around a rarefaction wave, we obtain a global weak solution for the system under the assumption u_? ≤ u₊. The global weak solution is obtained as a limit of approximation solutions. The key elements in our analysis are the Helly theorem and the estimation of energy for approximation solutions in $H^1(\mathbb {R})\times H^1(\mathbb {R})In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±.

Estimates of n ‐widths of Besov classes on two‐point homogeneous manifolds

Estimates of Kolmogorov and linear n ‐widths of Besov classes on compact globally symmetric spaces of rank 1 (i.e., on S^d, P^d (?), P^d (?), P^d (?), P¹⁶(Cay)) are established. It is shown that these estimates have sharp orders in different important cases. A new characterisation of Besov spaces is also given (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On the Cauchy problem for the fractional drift-diffusion system in critical Besov spaces

In this paper, we establish global well-posedness and asymptotic stability of mild solutions for the Cauchy problem of the fractional drift-diffusion system with small initial data in critical Besov spaces. The regularizing-decay rate estimates of mild solutions are also proved, which imply that mild solutions are analytic in space variables.     

Blow‐up analysis,existence and qualitative properties of solutions for the two‐dimensional Emden–Fowler equation with singular potential

Motivated by the study of a two‐dimensional point vortex model, we analyse the following Emden–Fowler type problem with singular potential: where V(x) = K(x)/|x|^2α with α∈(0, 1), 0<a?K(x)?b< + ∞, ?x∈Ω and ∥?K∥_∞?C. We first extend various results, already known in case α?0, to cover the case α∈(0, 1). In particular, we study the concentration‐compactness problem and the mass quantization properties, obtaining some existence results. Then, by a special choice of K, we include the effect of the angular momentum in the system and obtain the existence of axially symmetric one peak non‐radial blow‐up solutions.
